^ I've seen about 10 bajillion people on my social media feed defending Billie Eilish and have seen exactly 0 people attacking her. This is almost always the exact pattern I witness for any big social media controversy & it makes me want to scream. Just shut the fuck up everyone, please.

it WAS really weird and stupid that it even became a thing though. like I could take or leave VH (mostly leave) but seriously, they're not the fucking Beatles. if she had zero familiarity with like the Stones or Prince or something I still personally wouldn't care but I could at least comprehend the incredulity.

Yeah, I can understand feeling hopeless or fatigued but I find it hard to not care about a crucial election in a world power and one of our closest allies.

To some people "the world is bad" = getting deported and left to die with stateless status or disabled ppl in such reduced conditions they commit suicide. Sorry to ruin your jolly old timeline though lads!

It doesn't have much to do with it beyond the automatic assumption that 'liberal' means the same thing to people outside the US as it does in the US - which is excusable but not when married to a sneery post which displays a complete ignorance of the person it's aimed at.
