This really isn’t my thing, but I thought some of you may find this amusing.

Now I'm also a little curious what this televangelist's browser history looks like

we've had 25+ taylor articles in the past week over here

The subject of the song is liberalism and the liberal status quo.

[Verse 1]
I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people
I've ghosted stand there in the room

{ this opening verse is about the how liberals are subconsciously haunted by their victims in the imperial periphery and global south, unable to admit the historical materialist analysis of their political ideology }

[Pre-Chorus]
I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis
(Tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
(For the last time)

{ This is about how liberalism offers no real alternative to the status quo, only a march towards fascism, and how real progressive political ideology starts to recognize this, abandoning liberalism in the face of these faults }

[Chorus]
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me
At teatime, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

{ this is about Trump staring at the sun, but the media/Dems unable to admit how they elevated him to the presidency }

[Verse 2]
Sometimes, I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
And I'm a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city
Pierced through the heart, but never killed

{ pedos and the ruling class are united in liberalism and the destruction of the working class }

[Pre-Chorus]
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
Like some kind of congressman?
(A tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
And life will lose all its meaning
(For the last time)

{ Both parties are liberal, they just puts on different masks of altruism to cover their vile shared nature, revolution is the only alternative }

[Chorus]
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me)
At teatime, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

{ liberalism maintains the status quo while claiming to be the only savior, VOTE! }

[Bridge]
I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
She thinks I left them in the will
The family gathers 'round and reads it and then someone screams out
"She's laughing up at us from Hell"

{ even through revolution, liberalism is irredeemable, it must be killed, and it's tools abandoned if we are to escape its hell world }

[Breakdown]
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me
It's me, hi
Everybody agrees, everybody agrees

{ the masses are starting to see the necessity of revolution as inevitable }

[Chorus]
It's me, hi (Hi)
I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me)
At teatime (Teatime), everybody agrees (Everybody agrees)
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

{ :vote: Blue No Matter Genocide }

Last year, Taylor's ex-boyfriend Matty Healy went on Adam Friedland's podcast and made ~~inappropriate~~ racist jokes about Ice Spice. That lead to Ice Spice becoming friends with Taylor. They released a song together. Now they're at the super bowl together.

WAKE UP SHEEPLE 1984

I can't stop laughing at that fucking picture. Best use of AI art I've seen

I also want to take credit for lathing this into existence by making a bunch of comments here about Taylor Swift bringing Hamas operatives into the KC Chiefs stadium to massacre the hwhites. The chuds are beyond parody.

Taylor Swift’s attorneys have threatened legal action against a Florida college student who runs social media accounts tracking the flights of her and other celebrities’ private jets.

Jack Sweeney, a junior at the University of Central Florida, has for years run accounts that log the takeoffs and landings of planes and helicopters owned by hundreds of billionaires, politicians, Russian oligarchs and other public figures, along with estimates of their planet-warming emissions. The accounts use publicly available data from the Federal Aviation Administration and volunteer hobbyists who can track the aircraft via the signals they broadcast.

Sweeney’s accounts fueled a free-speech debate in late 2022 when X, formerly Twitter, banned Sweeney for sharing what the platform’s owner, Elon Musk, said were his “assassination coordinates.” The accounts don’t say who travels on the aircraft or where they go once the planes land.

In December, Swift’s attorney at the Washington law firm Venable wrote Sweeney a cease-and-desist letter saying Swift would “have no choice but to pursue any and all legal remedies” if he did not stop his “stalking and harassing behavior.”

How can you justify this?

Background: There is a course on Taylor Swift at Harvard. People online are upset.

The author of the article states there are “several different ways to think about the times we live in through the lens of Taylor Swift.”

1. “Swift is very, very good at what she does… her success is a result of several different factors, including her incandescent whiteness, her seeming approachability, and a massive media machine that carefully matches her public persona… with her fan base, one with which she has very, very carefully and assiduously cultivated a long and near-intimate relationship.”

“Her relationship to her fans… raise questions about gender and whiteness, and persuade us to think more deeply about the nature of fandom as both a natural expression and a carefully manipulated media creation”

2. “[C]ritically analysing the networks of power and influence that make Taylor Swift… helps to demystify the idea of instant and uncomplicated celebrity.”

“Taylor Swift as a cultural phenomenon helps us better understand how capitalism works… in its embeddedness in seemingly affective frameworks like fandom and celebrity.”

3. “Swift is also especially well known for her public statements on the matter of artists and their ownership of their material, most famously in the dispute over the masters of her work.”

“The legal conflicts over ownership of her material provide a way to think through the thicket of questions surrounding intellectual property and the matter of property “rights” in an age of streaming and TikToks. (And the question of who owns her work should not descend into a celebration of girlboss feminism but involve a discussion of Swift’s place in forms of predatory capitalism).”

4. “The contempt in which so many hold her music and lyrics as insignificant because they’re too popular leads to a world of questions about the very nature of taste and taste-making.”

The professor of the course, Dr. Stephanie Burt also responded to this line of criticism, “[T]hey should remember literally everything that takes up a lot of time in a modern English department was at one point a low-prestige popular art form that you wouldn’t bother to study, like Shakespeare’s sonnets and, in particular, the rise of the novel.”

In conclusion,

“Everyone should take a course on Taylor Swift.”
