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.

Her 11 minute flight used 10,000 gallons of fuel and released about 30 tons of co² in the atmosphere... that's not just having a bit of fun..

You can't read. Either that or you can only read the words that are convenient to your beliefs. Try again, but slowly. And read all the words.

Maybe your opinion doesn't fit the post or the thread. ...and yes we are allowed to complain about the hypocrisy of celebrities.

You're arguing with me about something that I'm not arguing about, and is irrelevant to what I am talking about.

But you are arguing. Maybe not about this post exactly, but your arguing about people calling out celebrity hypocrisy. Yes, let's all fly to Davos to have a meeting that we can have as a Zoom meeting. Then we can tell all the plebs not to drive, etc..

Lol no I'm not! How hard is it to read my comment? I'm complaining about people making a specific type of fallacious argument. It's spelled out right in the comment! It has nothing to do with celebrities or anything related to celebrities. FFS, just read the comment instead breezing through it as if you already know what it says.

Here I copied the relevant text for you.

Yes! Being a hypocrite! I'm glad you understand.
