"If I Did Something Good, I Didn't Do It Correctly.

I think there is a lot of disconnect that goyim have between their actions and how it impacts jews.

What I mean by this is calling for/doing things in which the direct action is not antisemetic, but the result of the action is. For example;

Motivation: "Hillel is run by zionists'

Action: calling for hillel to be removed from all universities

Result: the main organization which helps jews have a community at university as well as helps handle antisemitism jewish students face, is now gone. Jews have no guaranteed community on campus unless students who are busy studying can take on the work load of running it. They also now have to find a local rabbi for the group and also have no extra protection against antisemitism.

(This is all ignoring that hillel doesn't even promote violence and is being targeted simply for being a Jewish organization on campus)

Motivation: "we want to make zionists lives as hard as possible"

Action: Targeting people who they assume are zionists

Result: because you cannot tell if someone is a zionist unless you ask them their opinions on Israel and Palestine, a lot of jews get targeted for simply being jewish because antizionists view a lot of things which are originally jewish as inherently Israeli and therefore is an admittance of zionism. For those who try to verbally clarify if a jew is a zionist, usually they end up harassing jews to give their opinion on Israel and Palestine, even though they are not entitled to jews or anyone's opinion on anything.

(This is ignoring that anything inherently Israeli is bad as that's also false)

Just because your direct action is not antisemetic, doesn't mean the result of your action isn't, and that still makes your action antisemetic.

I have reason to believe that 'Tell Me Why' is one of the most powerful songs Taylor Swift has written.

What makes this song great is its versatility; the lyrics can be applied to any situation wherein an abusive power dynamic between two parties is involved. TS described it as being about a tug of war in which "someone always kind of has the upper hand." With that in mind, the perspectives are endless. Depending on whom you talk to, this song could be about gender, racial, or wealth inequality, classism, even.

This versatility is what helps a song maintain its relevance. It's what makes some songs timeless. Music that isn't shackled to specific eras or circumstances has the capacity to be appreciated longer, and by wider audiences, because it doesn't shut people out. This is the music that can live on forever and ever. To me, that's power.

It is this style of songwriting that TS has mastered - that delicate balance between confession and ambiguity in her lyrics that gives you a sense of something she might have experienced, but also isn't so personal as to exclude the possibility of that experience being echoed by millions of other people.

This is Taylor's unique talent, and 'Tell Me Why' exemplifies it perfectly.

I think that calm, cool, collected, perfectly rational female characters are even better - because they disarm people. No one ever sees them coming.

i just think that unhinged female characters with a little blood on their face and wrath in their eyes is pretty neat, that's all

no offense but your struggle is valid no matter how many people have it worse than you

When I was younger, I was always fascinated by how people living through major events throughout history were always so focused on their day to day lives. When I read diaries and primary sources, people would be talking about huge events with worldwide significance but they would just be...living their lives. Like COME ON a world war is happening and your main area of focus is how the rationing sucks and how you want to go to dances and stuff after All This Is Over?

But I get it now.

Now I understand.

Scorched earth only extends so far.

If there is one song that accurately portrays the downfall and tragedy of their friendship, it's this one.
