    1. Since abortion is just health care, and America has a racist history, lets compromise and open more abortion clinics in minority areas and market abortion more to people of color and to better fund abortion in those areas lets close down abortion clinics in majority white areas.

    2. I think a true artist realizes that true art isn't really yours to begin with. And I totally get being "furious" about a song you wrote being used not how you want it, but it is telling.

    3. You can see it with folks like De Niro and Springsteen. Their lifelong democratic party activism gets them lifelong work in the industry. Which is also why folks like Laurence and Rodrigo do it. These are a bunch af spineless hypocrites who would be on the other side politically just like that if it would give them the same opportunities. So it is all fake activism. It is a con.

    4. That's why Ella Langley is destroying her on the Hot 100; no activism is being done and her music is speaking for itself. Olivia is dumb, overrated and is anything but honest. Just the fact she wanted to capitalize on that Paramore sample and was forced to credit Hayley Williams (another leftist) tells you all you need to know about her.

    5. Young girls are extemely narcissistic and entitled to begin with, add on extrem fame, money, and adoring fans they think they know anything and can do whatever they want. Horrible people. Fame is a drug, makes people feel more important than they are.

    6. Trump isn't pro-life anyway. He was willing to say abortions can happen before 12 weeks. True pro-lifers would never agree to that, but Trump wanted to go that route.

    7. Rightwing propagandists like to make it out as though rich artists are the elites running America and shaping its policy and institutions. This allows them to posture as though they're fighting for the little guy This is total nonsense. In fact America has become a kleptocracy because of the power of the rich donor-class to shape policy to their benefit. If policy in America was determined by people like Bruce Springsteen rather than people like the Koch donor network it will look very different. Many of the rich donors to the Democratic Party are very right-wing themselves. From the 30s to the 70s the Democratic Party was a left-wing party but that changed.

      They also use their money to have tremendous influence over the media and academia. The people that think that academia is just about woke idiocy do not know about the effect of Chicago School economics department propaganda

    8. It's better to speak up than to become compliant to the atrocities of the world. I don't agree with her about abortion but her other advocacies are great.

    9. I mean, she's against killing immigrants, against wars in Palestine, Syria and Ukraine, Pro-Women. If you're hating her for that, you have to evaluate your values.
