    things can only be objectively shit if they’re actively harmful. of what i listed i can really only say with my whole chest that Twilight, Katy Perry post come up (hence why i specified her come up), and Hillary Clinton are actively harmful in some way. AOC also gets an asterisk because my perspective is that all politicians are to not be trusted, but AOC is one of like 3 politicians i can think of who are putting in work to reduce the amount of harm politicians do.

    i’m going to particularly push you on indie folk. what’s so objectionable about rural people expressing their emotions, providing alternative programming to the actively harmful radio country? this seems less like it’s “objectively shit” and more “a piece of pop culture ephemera in which you were not directly centered”

      My eyes skimmed over indie folk, I actually love that. But the rest are straight trash. Also, I’ve been awake for too many hours and probably nothing I post right now should be considered a reasonable take lol

      I’m guessing AOC, Bernie, Zohran?

      Well remember to add Greta Thunberg to the list, she’s a great politician. Politics isn’t just electoralism, there are direct action politicians.
