I think this is more appropriate for the new Starbucks CEO.
Billionaires gonna billion.
Starbucks ceo is richer, and a
menman, we should make more memes about him.Every difference in treatment between two people based on gender is sexism
And exclusively focusing on Taylor when there is recent examples of others doing much worse is a great example of this. Such as Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio who all use their private jets in just as wasteful horrendous ways. Much like how all the star wars fans decided Kathleen Kennedy or “Darth Kennedy” was the main reason the new movies were bad, ignoring the directors and writers with more control.
I’m not here to defend Taylor, couldn’t care less about her, not at all a fan and fuck all billionaires. But you have to ignore centuries of history, gender discrimination and patriarchal control to cite sexism like this. There is a rich history of double standards and women being criticized for the exact same thing men do. The overwhelming majority of private jets are used by men in their 50’s, but somehow Taylor Swift is the eternal meme fodder for it?
Yup. So many shitty billionaires out there, but they focus on one of the decent ones.

My idea is that: 100 billionaires make bullshit with their private jets: I sleep. Taylor swift make buillshit with her jet: Real shit?
We are only clowning on the women billionaire and ignoring all others who do similar shit.
(and about the men vs man thing, english is my second language, I meant man)
The glaring difference to me is that Taylor tries to project an image of being a better billionaire. And, in a lot of ways, she IS, so it’s more glaring when she shits the bed with something as dumb as a private jet. She does philanthropy, she fights back against the music industry’s bullshit, she’s even pretty outspoken about the climate, but she can’t ground her jet unless absolutely necessary?
She’s still a billionaire. She still sucks. But she does marginally better than the rest. Now step up the rest of the way. Until then, criticisms are valid.
Regarding man vs men, the singular vs plural doesn’t matter. It’s that none of this is gendered. Starbucks CEO (I think it’s telling that I don’t respect him enough to know his name) sucks. Gates sucks. Buffet sucks. Swift sucks.
it’s the gender bias in attention paid.
when was the last time you thought about the ceos of GE, boeing, Home Depot etc., who have been doing the same shit for decades.
She treats her people decently, something I really can’t say for a lot of other billionaires.

Every difference in treatment between two people based on gender is sexism
That’s what I told the gynecologist when he told me to see an urologist to check my testes.
If this is a joke, then good one !
More recent too.
I just had this shared with me somewhere else and posted it unchanged.
and a men
Fucking what?
Only because he’s a man will I do so. Filthy men…with their penises, and beards!
Not all men have beards. Some of us have wives, boyfriends, and husbands.
Por que no los dos?
I’m a one-hate one-love machine. I can’t hate multiple people at the same time. My heart just gets confused if I try, and then starts flirting with nihilism.
Embrace nihilism full on, and start flirting with absurdism.
nihilism? nah, that literally adds nothing.
absurdism? oh, you betchaDepends what you mean by adding nothing.
I think nihilism is a pretty concrete position to be in. 2 billion years from now, nothing we’ve done will matter or likely be remembered. On a cosmological scale, that makes our lives pretty pointless. Thats nihilism.
Nihilism doesn’t have to be bad, though. In fact, there’s no good or bad in that statement. Just “will matter” and “won’t matter”. Absurdism is embracing the fact that nothing matters, and doing anyway. Why? Who knows. It tends to be how people stay happy. Do because if you don’t, well… that’s pretty much it isn’t it?
Cosmologically? yes nihilism makes sense.
On a human scale? No, your actions and inactions have rippling consequences on the world around you, and to reject these consequences is to reject responsibility for sharing a world with others, which in my opinion is a selfish and childish thing to do.
Absurdism seems more rational than nihilism on a human scale, since it admits that the world is chaos and to fully embrace this entropy as a means to not take the consequences of life too seriously.
Absurdism is a fantastic coping mechanism for the harsh realities of life. Nihilism really does not accomplish anything, in my opinion.
True.
I’m very much opposed to and sad about an international pop star and apparent progressive taking a private jet all the time.
But there’s two things at play that should be differentiated.
- The role model aspect. She has millions of fans that look up to her. She could lead by example and use different means of transportation.
- She’s obviously a unique figure. She’s not replaceable or generic in the position she’s at. Her “position” cannot be replaced by someone else as would be possible with the Starbucks CEO. She’s not “some CEO” taking a Jet to work and thereby normalizing this as a habit for CEOs". Right now there are few if any other celebrities with her status l, so she stands for herself.
The precedent of Starbucks CEO commuting by jet is much more of a blueprint that might be applied to other CEOs. Or already is. I don’t even know his name FFS. So he’s making a precedent that a lot of other people could readily adapt.
I don’t want to excuse anything. I just think that it would be more beneficial to attack CEOs for taking private jets. There’s a lot more of them. They areuch more susceptible to the pressure if the companies is seen as a polluter than Taylor Swift might be. She’s much more independent than any CEO. She doesn’t have to worry if the board of directors or the shareholders are going to replace her if her if her habits are becoming a PR problem. So our energy might be more productively applied elsewhere.
I’m still sad about a seemingly progressive and apparently Intelligent pop star like her flying that much.
I usually suspect bots whenI see reposting highly upvoted memes from several months back, but OP doesn’t appear to be a bot.
Oh my god, there’s a second Tailor Swift.
Too soon!
Can someone explain
There was an early criticism of celebs like Taylor Swift using private jets, because of the ecological effects / fuel usage; claiming it’s hypocritical because she’s pro-environment.
Honestly, given the equipment / celeb focus (and that people all around the world want to hear her live), the use of a jet isn’t that wasteful imo, but the continued meme of having her take a jet for minor trips is silly enough it’s fun anyway.
There was someone on Instagram or TikTok criticizing her for flying from LAX to another airport like, three minutes away. As though she were on what was almost certainly a repositioning flight. I doubt she has a hanger at LAX.
People are kind of silly.
What, how does she hang her clothes there? Stack them like a pleb?
The original meme, started because a cultist (fan) started tracking her flights(public information).
She takes a LOT of private flights, it turned out many weren’t her but friends/family using the planes. She got flak because she’s pro environment.
Hence a meme was born.
MAGATS are angry Taylor Swift won’t endorse their rapist felon for president, so they are digging up year old memes to make her look bad.
As fully expected from a shitbag lemm.ee poster. We REALLY need to defederate from that nest of fascists
These did not become numerous enough. We need more, always.
They fit the Starbucks stuporcommuter better.
Tbh, would you want to be in the airport the day Taylor Swift is flying on a regular flight? First, all the seats would be taken by Swifties. Plus of course just her entourage. Second, all the seats on planes that depart from the same terminal would be taken by Swifties who just want to see her through Security.
The development of a country is measured not in how many of the poor own cars, but in how many of the rich use public transit
Taylor Swift should be getting to her concerts by high speed rail. If she needs privacy, she should book a private car. A service which would be available to anyone willing to pay extra.
Yeah! We need to make it really clear that we don’t care about the really big greenhouse gas producers, or the people that are a thousand times more wealthy and more problematic than Tailor Swift.
We just want to sound like we care by targeting someone who is comparatively not doing that much damage.
It’s all for the lulls after all.
It’s so cool when cryptofascists out themselves, makes them easier to block
Not very swift, this one.
One of those moves never miss. One only has a 55 percent hit rate.
Doesnt work anymore. Maybe if this is about the Starbucks CEO. Swift at least responded to criticism and swore to use less flights. I’m not sure the CEO cares at all.
It’s almost like these are bullshit posts with an agenda.
I’m sorry, when did we say only certain billionaires are appropriate candidates for criticism?
All billionaires pose a moral dilemma to humanity.
ABAB mofo. All billionaires are baddies.
I swear bro.
The meme worked perfectly well for me
I like the layout of this house.
I’ll bet this would have made a supersonic man out of someone.
Is this picture photoshopped or from a real plain accident?
Lol 100% fake, there is no damage to a plane that punched into a building…
Look at the size of it, there isn’t even enough space for a human to sit in there, let alone walk
Real or not that is definitely not a run of the mill plain plane accident.
Oh look another lemm.ee user stirring up Taylor hate.
Are you sad she won’t endorse your fascist pig for president?
Buncha haters! If I were as rich as her I’d take a private flight to 7-11 down the street if I could. I would take a flight to another country just to eat dinner and come back.
