Is Taylor Swift Leaning Right? (tribunemag.co.uk)

Despite becoming a progressive favourite in recent years, Taylor Swift’s billionaire feminism has always been a vibes-only endeavour guided by consumerism and the girl boss ethic. Is it now shading into something yet more sinister?

It is impossible to be a billionaire and not be a total fucking Cunt

No human alive deserves to be a billionaire

I think it's impossible to be a billionaire and have the ability to understand how regular people live their lives. I'm not sure your thesis necessarily follows, but it's easy to see how an inability to relate to people could easily teeter into cunt territory.

The hypothesis is because she's not doing anything, she's leaning right. Which is a not a lot to write an entire article about.

Sinister is hardly the right word to describe someone's shift to the right.

Edit: nobody here had Latin in school

It does the job, but I agree that there are better words. A few that come to mind.

Evil. Disgusting. Disgraceful. Repugnant. Vile. Inhuman. Immoral. Ignorant. Selfish. Violent. Vicious. Unethical.
