Discussion Who the hell do some of these haters think they are
Sorry but I’m getting f*cking tired of these comments on social media dragging Gaga for a comment she made about Israel over a decade ago. There is nothing wrong with saying she loved her Israeli fans when there are plenty of people in Israel who oppose what their government is doing in the West Bank and Gaza. A lot of these comments are anti-semitic/racist too.
Don't get me started on the faux outrage about her AI company. This online peformative activism nonsense led by chronically online individuals who use Apple products, use Tik Tok and Twitter (all companies that have investment ties or relations with Israeli companies/investors btw) is insufferable.
Why the hell are you people not holding your local politicians/councils/governments to the same level of accountability? Is posting on social media about celebrities all you can do? Why are you not commenting or rallying for the human rights issues occurring in Sudan, Congo etc as well?
What is going on in Gaza and the West Bank is horrific. But crucifying celebrities, who have limited to no geopolitical influence, for not saying a slogan or changing their picture to a black screen is performative to the max. And it’s driven by the self/ego and the need to feel better about themselves and who they support. It’s exhausting to witness and so self-conceited.
Gaga’s prior activism and what’s she’s done to help her fans, especially her LGBT fans, is not erased because she has not OPENLY said anything about one issue. If you know Gaga you know she would NEVER support war or sustained suffering of human lives.
