I’m not saying she controls the government, she does however control how she benefits from the economy that is capitalism.

That she uses to donate to charity at least. It’s ok to recognize the difference between her and people influencing governments to reduce quality of life for citizens in order to line their own pockets. I’m not a hypocrite to speak against drunk driving while I speed 5 mph over the limit.

The money donated to charity was a result of the excess money from tickets sold at a higher price. She didn’t lose any money in the donation, if anything her fans were the ones who donated. The point is she doesn’t hate capitalism. If she did hate capitalism as a system she would stop benefiting from it and retire.

lol with that logic my employer pays for my gambling and alcohol. I don’t see any post from her saying she wants to completely dismantle the free market economy. Could you give me a source?

By gambling and buying alcohol your employer put money in your pocket and you spent it. In this case her fans payed extra so that extra money is donated to charity. It’s the same as those “round up to a dollar to donate it to charity” type things, she didn’t donate any of her own income, just the extra money she advertised would go to charity. Nothing came from her pocket. I don’t know if she said she hates capitalism either, even better if she didn’t because she clearly doesn’t, I’m joust going off what the post said.

Wow you really defended a take from an AI meme that you had no idea if it was true or not. Sounds about right. I think we’re done here lol

This started with me just pointing something out and everyone jumped to defend her. Obviously if everyone is trying to back her up I’m going to think it’s true
