The local news and conservative news ecosystem (largely the same thing by now tbh) requires a Evil Foreigner at all times & they just slot them in and out. Local news replaced scare stories about migrants coming over the border with scare stories claiming Hamas might attack from Mexico. Like, en masse. You might think “wait, no part of that makes the slightest bit of sense”, but too late, they’re off telling your aunt that Hamas definitely has sprawling training camps at their secret base in Mexico
This is one of those things where I bumped into it on social media and thought “huh, this is obvious bullshit”, then I looked it up and holy shit, there’s many places hyping it up, and now there’s a ton of MAGA types who fully believe Hamas is an unbelievably well-resourced internationally-traveling syndicate, with a massive network of tunnels and training camps all over the border in place so they can invade America. Which just. Makes zero sense on any level if you know even the slightest bit about anything. They already weren’t credible when they were about groups that actually exist in Mexico, much less when claiming Hamas has an entire army hiding there
But that’s the level of conflict-understanding you’re at when your relation to this is a. Islamophobia and b. belief that war is good bc it’ll make Jesus come back and c. a need to always be terrified some foreign bad guy is about to invade your suburban McMansion
It appears this began when people took warnings of isolated antisemitic violence, and went: you know who this really impacts? White middle class evangelicals. Hamas supersoldiers are going to invade the Cheesecake Factory and knockout game them, clearly
It’s really funny that redditors convinced themselves that the stupid Tiananmen Square copypasta is going to get chinese people forcefully disconnected from their internet service or something while the UK government will get your ass if you complete the sentence “Soldier F is ___” and has actively worked with google and with social media websites to censor posts or search results about Soldier F
Like 90% of the shit people make up about China is actually true for the UK
Western powers love to tell on themselves when they lie about their enemies
so annoying go through the recent posts on the olivia rodrigo tag and see it flooded with swifties critising her every move. i hate how olivia is seen as the villian in their so called "feud" when taylor (or her team) is the one who demanded 50% writing credits for deja vu despite not being anywhere near the writers room bc it maybe sounded similiar to one of her songs and olivia listened to t swift as a kid. this is a multi-millionaire who saw the success of a young, upcoming filipino artist and thought to herself, "how can i profit off this?" if this was taken to a court of law, i am certain olivia would not have had to pay that much (if she had to pay anything at all) but bc she didn't know the industry, now 50% of her profits on deja vu are directly lining swift's pockets. taylor absolutely took advantage of olivia's inexperience for a quick buck. it's just greed, plain and simple.
okay, so, i honestly don’t know enough about the credits for deja vu since everyone says different things about how it went about with jack antonoff saying he didn’t know anything about it (but he just comes off as so sleazy to me so i take everything he says with a pinch of salt) but that being said i feel like taylor, st vincent and antonoff should’ve declined such a large potion of the profits
now on to sw*fties hating on her: i have this conspiracy theory that the only reason they hate her as much as they do is because olivia’s the only artist who actually has a shot at matching taylor’s level of fame, i mean, she’s only twenty with two albums and selling out large stadiums. that’s the reason the swifties adore artists like sabrina carpenter (cringy asf lyrics - calling herself a little girl and then asking to put something big in her ‘pusita’??? - on songs that only seem to be hits on tiktok) and gracie abrams (zionist nepobaby who’s made peod-y remarks about finn wolfhard) who will never be able to match taylor’s fame
at the end of the day i think it’s become kinda obvious that olivia isn’t on good terms with taylor anymore (which is fine idk why people make such a big deal about it) and distance herself from her rabid fanbase but what i do find funny is that the moment taylor is treated the way she treats other people (writing slanderous songs about them and then being coy when asked about it) they can’t stand it
