Are you being brainwashed by Taylor Swift?
Approximately twenty percent of Americans believe Taylor Swift is being weaponized by the government for political ends. This is absurd, but actually kind of understandable given the American government's long history of using culture to influence minds. But what if, when we talk about propaganda, we focus on the wrong thing? That is to say, what if propaganda is even more insidious than some kind of Pentagon-sponsored brainwashing, and what if Taylor Swift can explain how? Let's find out in ...

    Taylor is an interesting figure, I dislike her, but she sure knows her business. She has made an empire being both, a victim and a snake, and has found her market of similar minded people (hardcore Swifties are the worst). She thrives in being controversial and the more questionable she is, the harder the Swifties push, either way she wins, she can cry victim and sell even more from it.

    Never going to smash the patriarchy until women stop the classist internalization oppression that men should still make at least equal or more resources, power, and money. A leftover by-product of female oppression of control. But I guess intersectionality doesn't count when its things like the intersection of middle class and women and poor people and oppression by the rich white cis male, right?

    I don’t think anything at all can really be divorced from being at least a little bit political. But I do think her political prowess is being iverblown somewhat. Recently all she advocated for was voting, not to a particular, party, politician or ideal. But conservatives see thos as threatening because their biggest votes come from people older than her fanbase so the more younger people voting the worse for them.

    Scientific studies done in the early days of TV revealed it to be an addictive brainwashing tool. The studies were quashed, TVs eventually became interactive and small enough to fit in a pocket (cell phones,) and now, mere decades later, most Americans don't even acknowledge in the real world anymore. If it doesn't come to them through a light up screen, it's not real, and George Orwell is rolling in his grave.

    Could you please tell me at what point in history art was not aimed at a consumer of some kind? Even if it was only just a King or maybe the rest of the tribe? Cave art maybe? Maybe? As for Swift her Wikipedia bio says she was already working the Nashville music scene with her parents by the time she was 11 years old. I could be wrong but the lived experience of most 11 year olds does not usually bring a lot to the table as far as insight goes, nor does someone edging into stardom/superstardom in their late teens grow into an independent intellectual icon. Swift creates catchy pop songs that crush as a commodity. Wow, that's never happened before. Madonna aged out, Spears was mentally ruined by the experience, Carey was all until she wasn't. (there are obviously plenty of male counterparts I could site, Franz Liszt was doing the Elvis thing in the 1840's. They even made a bad movie starring Roger Daltry about it). Governments will always try to co-opt that kind of popularity ("Born in the USA" anyone?) and art will always exist independently of its' commodity value as a bonus. Our buddy Adorno wasn't wrong, but he committed the "golden age" fallacy in that he saw something "new" in something that stretched far into the past.

    She is the modern embodiment of mass consumerism, and how to flood the market. Wish people would call her out more. She is wasteful, very for-profit motivated, and her people actually try to crackdown on press that doesn't outwardly praise her at all times.

    This video just shows me how dishonest, crazy, detached from reality, and how willing people are to do not truth and facts and biology and Science and common sense just for the sake of instant gratification and how perverted we've become now it's somehow considered a bad thing that there aren't more gays having sex and scenes why don't we just not watch people have sex in movies because maybe that's not normal and maybe that is perverted and maybe what goes on privately and another person's bedroom is not something that millions of people should be watching no matter who are the ones having sex. And maybe the people decades ago when people actually still had common sense and values and morals they knew all this stuff. And when we read from a text let's make sure we include what's before it and after it so we don't take it out of context and use it dishonestly. Ephesians 5:21-31 "Submit TO ONE ANOTHER out of reverence for Christ. ( the submission biblically is mutual in a marriage) Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as [a service] TO THE LORD. For the husband is head of [and protector of] the wife, as Christ is head of the church, Himself being the Savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so also wives should be subject to their husbands in everything [respecting both their position as PROTECTOR and their RESPONSIBILITY TO GOD as head of the house]. (Here's another important part that conveniently got left out.) Husbands, love your wives [seek the highest good for her and surround her with a caring, unselfish love], just as Christ also loved the church and GAVE UP HIS LIFE [gladly], so that He might sanctify the church, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word [of God], so that [in turn] He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy [set apart for God] and blameless. Even so husbands should and are MORALLY OBLIGATED to love their own wives LIKE THEI OWN BODIES. He who loves his own WIFE loves HIMSELF. For no one ever hated his own body, but [instead] he NOURISHES and PROTECTS and CHRISHES it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members (parts) of His body. For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall be joined [AND BE FAITHFULLY DEVOTED] to his wife, and the two shall become ONE flesh." First off, there is way more expectation from God on the husband and his calling is much harder to keep and much more rigid than hers which is why God asks the woman to submit to him because there is much more put on his shoulders and expected of him than expected of her and put on her shoulders and he will be judged harsher than she will be if he doesn't do his part. In marriage the two literally become one in the eyes of God. God says that himself in his own words. So if we're going to represent a text let's represent it the right way instead of being dishonest with it. Humanity is going crazy, I mean somehow it's a bad thing that there aren't enough gay and trans sex scenes in TV and movies, somehow not enough sex scenes is somehow a bad thing now how absolutely perverted can we get?
