PartySick 168,242 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 So, the real answer to the question in the OP is clearly SOME pop girls are quiet 'cause they know they have apologist stans who will shamelessly cuck themselves and insult their peers before they ever expect someone with millions of followers to give a f*ck about something. Catch the Mayhem Ball being the last time Gaga ever sees a penny from me. ¡Seguimos aquí! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstermilo 5,364 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) endorsing one candidate over trump doesnt count as activism. when american citizens are being killed for protesting against ice.... thats when you see who the real activists are - the ones who actually genuinely give a ish. when palestinians are being killed by israel, thats when we need them to speak out. when womens and gay rights are still being threatened by the govt - thats when we need ppl to post and speak out endorsing a candidate for the sake of appearing woke - thats not activism. thats performative BS Edited January 28 by Monstermilo 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter likes are insanely manipulated to influence public opinion. These high likes tweets insulting someone for speaking out could very easily be paid for by billionaires to popularize the sentiment that we should not do that and further alienate us from each other. Don't fall for it. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

highwayunic0rn 303 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Calling out Billie for being a “performative activist” is so stupid. Isn’t everyone somewhat a hypocrite? Like her opinions don’t mean anything because she got a drink at Starbucks? People these days will really grasp at straws to defend there fav 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegidadedios 3,657 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) I think we can all agree, by the way we think, that there are two types of leftists on this forum: the liberal ones and the real ones Edited January 27 by elegidadedios Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timdrake 1,530 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 On 1/25/2026 at 10:56 AM, Obobo said: This energy should be placed on the people that can actually make change. Agreed! At the end of the day, pop stars are pop stars and not lawmakers. We shouldn't require every single issue to go through them in order for us to care about it. If people put this much pressure on their elected officials, it would be a much better use of their time. Like, do we think Gaga randomly decided to become an ICE supporter? No. I'm sure we know how she feels about the government in the US at the moment. Also she's doing a hell of a lot of work to keep folks entertained, giving them something to enjoy and look forward to, which is needed in dark times. The little respite she's been able to give folks from a 24 hour bombardment of dread is so valuable to mental health in my opinion, and keeps people going.

Bronco 18,111 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 5 hours ago, PartySick said: I cannot wrap my head around the backwards, twisted, and cynical thinking that public figures should be apathetic in the face of injustice, silent in the face of catastrophe, and do nothing but gain wealth and power while giving nothing back. It's not backwards thinking. It's noticeable that the users pushing this stance do *nothing*. They either don't care and hate being called out for it, or have given up and hate seeing people who refuse to. 5 hours ago, River said: Posting about it on an echo chamber like this forum not only useless, it's not even going to Gaga and her team, all they care about is when something leaks and then they complain lol An echo chamber where we spend the whole time arguing about how we don't agree?

Just because we think different doesn't mean we don't care or don't do a thing.

So yeah, it's not people like you & me who disagree but have the same end goal in mind that I'm talking about.

I’d doubt that was her first thought, she’s speaking on something that’s important to her and was wondering why her peers who have even more of a platform than her are going to make a stand.
