UPDATE: Apparently the guitar was not signed (or certified) by Taylor Swift afterall. š¤£

I know Weirdo is the current kinda forced (IMO) word we're hurling at the magas these days, but that kind of behavior is legit weird. Like really weird.
There's obviously the "some people have more money than brains" angle of dropping 4K on something so you can destroy it.
Then there's the "I'm a grown-ass man, and I'm so insecure about a female celebrity endorsing a politician I disagree with that I'm going to drop 4K so that I can publicly and in front of cameras showcase that insecurity for the entire world to see, while gloating and being proud of it" angle. (Which by the way, smoothbrain magas, serves to amplify her endorsement, not diminish it.)
I can't promise I'm not going to drive around with "Fuck Donald Trump" blaring and my windows down all during election day and the day after (regardless of outcome), but I'm not going to spend $4k for the privilege, and I'm sure as hell not going to do it for an assembled audience.
It's not really forced imo. Waltz called them weird conversationally and it just kinda stuck. Likely because it fits so well.
I agree that it's fitting and the word should have been applied to them sooner. However, I definitely think some folks and journalists go out of their way to use the word. I'm not even saying there is anything wrong with that, just acknowledging that sometimes it feels a little forced.
Congratulations, youāve noticed the cracks in the simulation.
It sounds forced because it is forced as a completely transparent DNC strategy play.
Except they stole that from the left, too. Mainstream leftists have been calling liberals and right wingers weird for literal years before Walz even entered the national conversation. Libs have just turned around and projected it onto CHUDs.
Weird how I just canāt stop finding parallels between libs and MAGA.
You're not half as smart as you fancy yourself to be.
that kind of behavior is legit weird
This kind of "buy things to destroy them so other people can't have it" protests from the petite bourgeois are nothing new, though.
They're just expressions of rage by people with more money than empathy.
I maintain that calling them Redcaps, basically an especially spiteful and nasty kind of goblin, is the most fitting way to label them
Oho good one! I never made that connection until now š
Ferengi. They embody the ferengi from star Trek to me. Regardless, neither of ours works because they are nerdy references a good deal of them don't understand. They understand being called weird though, and it gets under their skin. That's the important bit. I wouldn't care if someone called me that, but it damn sure bothers them, so that's what they're called even though other words fit better, like rape apologists.
I'd be willing to bet he owns many things but has a very deep debt.
There's also the "If you're gonna smash a guitar, go Townsend on it, don't use a hammer" angle.
Itās the Side A to the Side B of the same old record.
