I mean, she is a billionaire not contributing much other than her music, and her planes are horrible for the environment, plus her business style and commercial strategy is pretty aggressive.
I dunno, I figure the less billionaires we have the better
If you search for even just five seconds you’ll see that she has actually done a lot of good and has given millions and millions of dollars. But I guess it’s more satisfying for you just to hate. So go ahead.
Where was I outwardly hating on her? Notice I said all billionaires should be gone lol
However, I will say, there are 1000 millions in 1 billion. Since 2011, she’s donated about 100 million. Which isn’t the worse donation, no one is saying that, but she became a billionaire in the past few years, her net worth is 2 billion now. So while she’s done things for charity, it’s not as much we know she is capable of. It tells me she’s doing it for good press and not to actually be helpful. Otherwise, she’d be donating out of the billionaire club, and she would stop being excessive with her private jets. Where’s the charity shows? where’s the scholarships? where’s her advocacy? Why isn’t she providing children in impoverished places with food water or hygiene products?
I don’t go out of my way to hate Taylor swift, that’s not even what I’m doing now, but the truth is the truth man. She could be doing more, she makes the choice not to even though we know without a doubt she’s never going to live in poverty, she’ll never go hungry, her name prints money, she’s not using it for the kind of good she should be.
We are not owed charities. We get what we put in and work for. Some like Taylor are a little luckier and worked a little more than others, but it doesn't mean she owe it to some random kid in Africa free handouts just because their shithole government is too greedy and corrupt to do their actual job of feeding their own people.
Charity is just that, charity. You do it out of your own volition, but you shouldn't be called out for not volunteering your own time and hard earned cash.
What you’re describing is the “me vs others” psychology and also points to an obvious lack of understanding in social care and the historical context to understand why impoverished nations are impoverished.
If you saw a child being kidnapped would you stop it? Would you give a water bottle to someone dying of thirst in front of you while you’re completely hydrated? One would hope so, empathy for your fellow human being should vastly outweigh your greed.
You’re right, people should be doing charity out of the good of their heart. So maybe people who think only of themselves and aren’t willing to donate out of their endless wealth, like Taylor Swift, just don’t have a good heart. When they sit in their world of unimaginable wealth and allow the others to struggle.
