    Wow uh… does she want her fanbase to evaporate…? Because that’s a great way to do it.

      Her husband is a convicted rapist, and her brother is in prison for child rape. She loudly defended both of them, so I imagine she feels right at home with this admin

      I say as someone that used to be on Stan Twitter, the Barbz wouldn’t care about it. Anyone who have slight criticism to her will get dogpilled and even doxx. It feels like a cult

    Let’s just stop caring what celebrities think, please. Unless they have education in science, economics, international relations, or other relevant areas they are even less qualified than random people on the street, as they are rich and likely out of touch with reality in multiple ways.

      Let’s just stop caring what celebrities think, please. Unless they have education in science etc…

      Mayim Bialik has a PhD in neuroscience and she’s a vaccine skeptic and has a host of other offensively stupid ideas, so clearly not even having an education really counts as qualifications anymore.

        There have been Nobel Prize winners who have held completely crackpot ideas outside of the often narrow field of research for which they won their prize: Shockley and Kary Mullis, to name two.

        And it’s not like Bialik is an immunologist. What’s neuroscience got to do with vaccines?

        alot of STEM people are nutty to, when they get drawn into a cult. i was in a forum about lyme and these middle aged white people(are the predominant members in this cult), some of them has a MS in sciences and believed in “lyme being a forever disease”{

      I like to assume the best of people. I like to think that some people are putting on a role of being dumb because it pays. I like to assume that people I don’t know well enough are smarter than they appear to be. I do all this because being a cynic is depressing.

      But sometimes, people go out of their way to dispel that charitable assumption.

    It’s insane how rich people are so disconnected from reality and live in their own bubble ignoring all the horrible and evil things their fellow rich people do. At the end of the day is really is just a club of rich people with no real morals and the 99% are being tricked and lied to.

      Part of being wealthy is you don’t know if someone loves you or is being nice because they want something from you. It’s incredibly isolating at an emotional level.
