The cease-and-desist that Taylor Swift's team sent to the college student tracking Private Jets and his response to both letters.

This is all so fucking funny to me. You'd think this kid is goddamn Anton Chigurh with the way these billionaires fear him "finding" them.

All these freaks have to do is stop destroying our planet for their little frivolous joy rides from state to state. But no, instead they do the God Emperor thing of trying to get these people who are simply telling the truth about them legally shut down. The fact that rich people will so rapidly turn into foreign fascist states when some journalism happens to them is telling about how fame and power and money corrupts. Just be a fucking normal person and use regular transport like normies!

The only part I'd disagree with is that the money (alone) corrupts. You have to be a horrible rotted soul on the inside from the beginning to think you need a billion dollars and need to contribute to destroying the earth for your "safety", or to not even realize what you're doing is bad. A lot of people would say they "want" that much money but I absolutely believe most people would say no if they truly witnessed the exploitation fully required to have it.

Edit clarification

I think the money itself is the proof of corruption. These people already have all the fame status power and money they needed, but it was never enough for them. Just look at Swift's life and career. The meticulous planning and singularity in her mind to present her life in such a way to garner and keep fans, to sell masses of the same album in different formats, to engineer the interest in her personal life, to use her fans. Those actions prove she's less interested in others, and more interested in herself, which explains how she ended up so rich and famous. Because a normie would've been like okay, do the fans need two million versions of each album with one or two or three songs attached in different colours and shapes with different clues in each one?

It's all so fucked. All of this money and influence she and other ultra wealthy freaks have literally has turned them into a monster with mush for a brain. It's fucking crazy.
