    She needs to pollute so she can keep singing isn’t the defense you think it is.

    No, concert goers are doing the polluting. If Swift retires then you’d get other superstars using Jets instead.

    It’s a systemic problem, so the strategy is to distract from the immensity of change needed. We’re not even remotely talking about what would need to be done. Basically focusing on taylor swift isn’t much different from greenwashing or outright climate change denial. Criticizing swift helps PREVENTS action on climate change.

      It’s not the person organizing the event and flying people out. It’s those poor peasants that dared attend. What an argument to make.

      Someone else would fly the jet is also, not a coherent defense because someone else isn’t doing that. She’s flying her own private jet right now.

      It’s a systemic problem, yes. So criticize all aspects of the system to show how inherently flawed it is. All private jet travel by all celebrities should be criticized. Suddenly when it’s not Elon tons of defenders need to tell us how we should look the other way and how there’s nothing important here in this identical situation.

      If anyone is trying to prevent anything, it’s Taylor sycophants throwing themselves to defend her from valid criticism.
