i think influential people speaking out against trump openly in the media is a good thing regardless of if they r rich
hmmmm i get the point its better than nothing but i think its important for people who demand celebs to speak out to understand that the issue is lack of education a celeb speaking out is not gonna solve it or influence people who already formed their opinion. It will only make the people who already voted the same feel better
i think mayb the speaking out should just be viewed as a first step bc they need to do direct action for things to be of value, so first step not bad, but pretty worthless if nothing else happens
i honestly think streamers have a better chance to convince someone than celebs bcs they actually make digestible longform content explaining the reasoning and offering scientific research that disproves what someone is saying. OFC only if its a good creator which is hard to find because you cant agree on EVERYTHING. I wouldnt consider myself smart at all bcs i still have a hard time understanding scientific sources but imagine this for someone who lacks the education or doesnt know how to read papers they base all of their opinion on their feelings which results in conspiracies. Im not even talking about finding credible sources in the first place. Not being able to read or understand any form of media literacy is soooo dangerous especially when people are conditioned into not trying to understand. Its hard and needs practice. Unfortunately streamers and tiktok were also part of the reason why the right is gaining so much popularity. Its short attentionspan content now combine this with people who dont fact check and base their opinion on their feelings...........im sooo scared for the future
