KeefChief13,

It’s more about usage rate than quantity. Although I could not tell you the usage rate details for either person…

MystikIncarnate,

I think Taylor gets a lot of hate because many people want her to be a role model for young adults.

When she inevitably fails to live up to everyone’s standards, this is what ensues.

It’s hilarious to watch.

Also, nobody is holding musk up as a role model. At least, not for young adults.

AVincentInSpace,

You know. Except his followers, who are primarily young adults.

MystikIncarnate,

I’ll just point out that there’s a significant difference between wanting someone to be a role model for others and having someone as a role model for yourself. IMO, more people view Swift as the former, and most who hold musk in high regard are the latter.

I hate her for using Ticketmaster. We’re not the same.

juliebean,

its weird how this is implying that there are people who don’t hate elon musk.

Custoslibera,

‘Hateing’ this post for that horrific spelling

Literally all of this started with people hating Elon Musk. It’s only focused on her now because she is currently harassing the guy tracking her jet.

If you went back a year or so ago, when Elon was the focus of this instead of her, would you be complaining about how a man is getting more flak than a woman?

Man, do carbon credits work?

brbposting,

Very murky. Problems with even the best carbon credit companies.

Carbon recapture seems promising.

Duamerthrax,

That’s called planting trees. We need a huge reforestation effort to go along with eliminating co2 emissions.

31337,

In my area, drought and heat have been so bad the last few years, a lot of native trees are dying. You could try reforesting with trees native to a dryer, nearby area, but that’s generally thought of as bad practice, and there’s no guarantee they would do well in that particular soil. It seems like the climate in my area is changing to be incapable of supporting forests.

Duamerthrax,

Luckily, we live in a global biosphere.

Carbon capture is promising only when we no longer rely on fossil fuels for energy generation.

hannes3120,

Interesting how it worked before the whole shitstorm with all the memes started.

I wonder if those were not really about her flying but somehow related to her speaking out against trump and that was just the angle of the smear campaign to make her less credible for left people…

Those carbon credits won’t do shit to save the planet, but at least flying less is a step in the right direction

The idea we don’t hate on Musk is genuinely insane. His hate subreddit even got brought over (!enoughmuskspam).

You could’ve chosen literally any other billionaire and you would’ve had a point.

Elon Musk is invulnerable to cricitism because he cares about nothing and listens to nothing.

Taylor Swift can have her mind changed, it has already happened in the past, and she cares about her image. Criticism of her has a chance to land.

Also, it has nothing to do with the teenage girls. We hate the jet. The jet isn’t even in the top 10 of things we hate about Elon.

TTimo,

Hateing

BobaFuttbucker,

Instead of “hating” can’t we just universally agree that the ultra-wealthy using private jets as their primary means of transportation is horrible for the environment and hold them all accountable for their part, considering their emissions are much larger than the average person and is only enabled by the money made in part from the emissions of others?

It shouldn’t matter who they are or how many jets they have. Maybe they shouldn’t use private jets all the time if they don’t want the bad publicity.

deaf_fish,

You see, this is what I was telling some other lemmyer. All this T Swift jet stuff is distracting from the fact that private airplanes are not a major cause of green house emissions. It’s industry. They love all these memes pulling the heat off of them.

Napain,

they only meme on her because she might prevent trump

p1mrx,

The difference is, Elon Musk sometimes thinks that it would be pretty neat if his private jets were electric. When has Taylor Swift ever done that??

deaf_fish,

Yeah, but for every one time he thinks about making his private jet electric, he thinks 500 times about getting random women pregnant with his DNA.

Jimmyeatsausage,

That’s the difference?

This is the second “meme” I’ve seen trying to make the point that Taylor Swift should be immune to criticism because she’s female in the span of two minutes.

casino,

That is because you’re not reading properly then. I don’t give two shits about this subject, but the meme states “popular with girls and women”, it says nothing about her being a woman.

zarkanian,
@zarkanian@sh.itjust.works avatar

But there are lots of rich people who fly private jets. Why her of all people?

captain_aggravated,
@captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

Because she has recently been in the news for suing the plane tracker guy. She Streisanded herself.

Boingboing,

You honestly think I don’t have enough hate in my heart for 2 rich assholes flying around in private jets?
