  1. Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct

  2. Be nice to each other, no bigotry of any kind
    Bigotry includes transphobia, homophobia, aphobia, sexism, racism, ableism, etc. Hold each other accountable. If you see something, say something.

  3. Don't link to transphobia
    Please don't link to transphobia (or other bigotry), even if your personal intent is to challenge the bigotry in some way. Provide a content warning label in the title of your post where applicable.

  4. Be dank; don't be not-dank
    No liberalism, capitalist apologia, imperialism, etc.

    Threatening, inciting violence, and promoting harm to another comrade shall result in removal.

  6. No sexually explicit content
    As badly as some of us want to get saucy here, do not post sexually-explicit content that could reveal your personal or confidential information. Until there is a way this could be safely executed, all sexually-explicit posts will be removed to keep our comrades safe.

  7. Do not post NSFL Content
    It will be removed.

  8. We are not a crisis service
    We can't guarantee an immediate response. This does not mean no one cares. If you need to talk to someone at once, you may want to take a look at this directory of Hotline Numbers.

She got rich by actually writing and performing music that people love, gaining wealth by personally creating things rather than skimming surplus value off of exploited wage laborers.

(I'm sure it's a little more complicated than that, and that she has engaged in some exploitation. But, eh, you know, No Ethical Consumption Under Capitalism)

She also owns most of the horrific tourist trap that is Gatlinburg. Where the workers make jack shit on tourist crap marked up 1000%

I am glad that I started listening to Trillbilly Worker's Party podcast to learn that she isn't some pure angel like she is always painted. She has obviously put in waaaaaaay more work to get from nothing to something compared to many rich people/celebs. But the pedestal she is always placed on really blinds people to things she doesn't seem to care about. Sometimes people like her are actually far worse on the working class and poor because they happened to have "won" and therefore the others just need to be working harder. But they never seem to want to actually be part of breaking that cycle of abuse. She may have been one of us back in the day, but she hasn't been one of us in a long time.
