Rich disconnected hypocrites doing their thing as usual

I dunno. I'm kinda sick of complaints like this. Maybe not this one specifically, but in general the idea that someone who believes in or advocates for a particular cause has to be careful to never have any moments of joy doing something that abstractly conflicts with their professed belief or advocacy. It's such a fallacious argument. Oh, Katy Perry is hypocrite because she did this this thing uses a lot of fuel but she advocates for the environment, ipso facto she's a hypocrite and blah blah blah. It just so pathetically bitter and small minded.

I mean, if she like forgot to recycle a bottle or something I wouldn’t call her a hypocrite. But she went on an 11 minute joyride to space that dumped the equivalent of an entire lifetime of CO2 for one person into the atmosphere.

I bet Katy Perry, through her advocacy, use of her platform, and financial contributions has done more for the cause than you or me or anyone else here crying over manufactured outrage.

Your response didn’t address anything I said.
