Smack about Crypto.

Common sense: The ultimate rare commodity. 😅

The Grammys are supposed to be about music. Art. Talent. Craft. They are meant to celebrate creativity, not serve as a soapbox for political posturing. Yet, once again, we were subjected to another display of left-wing hypocrisy, this time courtesy of Billie Eilish and the wider celebrity class that never misses an opportunity to lecture the public.

This wasn’t bravery. It wasn’t activism. It was theatre.

What we saw was a wealthy, insulated celebrity using a global stage to push political messaging to an audience that didn’t ask for it and certainly doesn’t need it from someone who will never live with the consequences of the policies they endorse. That is the core hypocrisy. These people don’t queue at food banks. They don’t worry about heating bills. They don’t suffer from the social decay their ideology accelerates. Yet they feel entitled to tell ordinary people how to live, vote, speak, and think.

There’s something deeply cynical about multimillionaires scolding the public from gilded stages. It’s easy to demand sacrifice when you’re never the one sacrificing. Easy to champion “the cause” when your lifestyle remains untouched, protected by wealth, security, and influence. The left loves to talk about “privilege” until it’s their own.

The entertainment industry has become a closed echo chamber where dissent is unwelcome and conformity is rewarded. Say the approved lines, signal the right virtues, and you’re praised as “brave.” Step outside that script and you’re frozen out. This isn’t cultural leadership. It’s ideological enforcement dressed up as compassion.

What makes it worse is the sheer audacity of it all. These award shows rely on the public. Fans buy the music, stream the songs, attend the concerts, and fund the entire machine. Then those same fans are talked down to as morally inferior by performers who mistake applause for authority.

People are tired of it. Tired of being lectured. Tired of being patronised. Tired of every cultural event being hijacked and turned into a political rally. Not everything needs a manifesto attached to it. Sometimes people just want music without a sermon.

If celebrities want to enter politics properly, they’re free to do so. Run for office. Debate policy. Face scrutiny. Accept accountability. But standing on a stage, insulated from criticism, and delivering pre-packaged talking points isn’t courage. It’s attention-seeking, plain and simple.

I know we're on the internet, I know we normally can't see the other person's face, but they're still people! Male and female users alike should still be respected. So show some restraint or be patient. Don't be rude, don't be demanding, and make sure you're not saying something so sexual that it's discomforting. Even if there's a small chance you'll cross the line with what you say, think on it or don't do it at all. It's not difficult. I just ran into at least three or four posts addressing overly sexual asks or replies and DMs by an audience member who is so impatient or out of patience that he got mad, when it's not somebody refusing to take 'no' for an answer - Which is another issue, btw; NO MEANS NO. It's commonsense, just be respectful and open-minded. And accepting 'no' as a response is the most basic form of commonsense, I shouldn't have to explain this! I'm being nice, here. I'm literally exercising respect and open-mindedness right now, because I could easily call you specific people idiots or cowards, but I'm not, because you're people, too, and I'm considering the possibility that insulting you will just make you wanna tune out without learning from your mistakes first. The worst thing I can say right now is the truth that I've seen people on here, especially, leave because of the pressure brought by people who have no patience or others who tell female users about their shlong just because they're female or based on their content. Is that what you really want? Is risking or overstepping one's boundaries really worth it?
