I don't understand how some people worship Pop idols and defend them against any criticism, doesn't matter how many private jets you own if you end up taking the same amount of flights on one jet or three jets. one Private jet is already one too many in the context of combating climate change.

I haven't said anything on the subject before, because I don't care very much, but I don't know what the alternative is supposed to be. It's not like someone who is that famous can walk into a public airplane without putting her own safety at risk and causing trouble for other passengers.

It's also well known that conservatives really hate her because she told her fans to vote and these memes are part of their effort to discredit her. Whether the point has any merit or not, it's obvious who started the trend and who it's helping.

you don't need to fly everywhere.
you can totally fly first class. damn she can afford to have first class to herself.
even if the private flight is the "logical" step, you can still critizise it. things can be complex.
it's a small and complex balance to keep supporting women in art and still shitting on billionaires, but we can do it.

The people defending Swift don't worship her, they're just scared she's being criticized for the wrong reasons. They think everyone calling her a polluter is lying or mistaken about their political motivations, and is actually influenced by misogyny.

Everyone, no.

A lot of people joining a bandwagon started by a few who started for that reason, sure.

It won't matter one bit though, and T Swift acorn bombing a pig is pure meme gold.
