Sydney Sweeney gives off mean girl energy but in the best possible way and I'm here for it

Spot on. It is really remarkable that it took an actress in her twenties to demonstrate what many seasoned public figures have failed to do for years: refuse to participate in the ritual of public self-denunciation. Sydney Sweeney did not hedge, apologize, or submit to the script that legacy media tries to impose on anyone who does not repeat its ideological cues. The interviewer was not seeking clarity or discussion. The purpose was to corner her into confessing guilt for something she did not do, reinforcing the idea that dissenting from the approved leftist narrative is inherently suspect. She declined to play along, and that is precisely why the left is furious. Legacy media has become a woke propaganda arm that specializes in moral intimidation. It does not debate. It does not inquire. It prosecutes. It constructs scenarios designed to force individuals into accepting blame for invented offenses, with the goal of reinforcing ideological dominance. When someone simply says “no,” the entire machinery loses power. The outrage that follows is not a response to wrongdoing. It is a reaction to disobedience. This is why the pressure is always framed as “just acknowledge” or “just clarify,” when the real aim is to force submission. Sydney Sweeney demonstrated that the only effective response is to reject the premise entirely. There is no obligation to apologize for existing, for having a family, for participating in a commercial, or for failing to endorse the leftist ideological obsessions of woke journalists. There is no such thing as conservative guilt to be confessed. Once people understand that the accusations are not sincere and the outrage is manufactured, the entire structure begins to crumble. The lesson is simple: stop apologizing, refuse to perform contrition, and decline the script.

Gen Z is pretty tired of millennial woke crap. At least that is my experience as a Gen Z.

It shows you just how weak men in the conservative movement (whatever that is) really are.

Funny how it takes a twenty-something actress to do what entire political teams couldn’t. Maybe confidence should be a line item in campaign budgets. At this rate Hollywood might start offering media training for Congress.

You get that feeling that this is the lunchroom scene from Mean Girls 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah, about time conservatives take control of those interviews. Solid move.

Strong stand. Others should try too.

Sadly, yes, which says a lot about how the culture changed in the last 20 years. Thankfully, now they now the way to answer.
Replying to @TheLaurenChen
Yes, I love that she didn’t take the bait. As I said yesterday we need to normalize shutting down these bait questions. They are asked in bad faith.

I'm old enough to remember THIS Lauren 😅
#Oscars ratings were down ~60% from last year. After seeing the evening's highlights, it's clear why. Celebrities, if you want us to tune in to your vanity award shows, just stick to movies & stop pushing progressive politics down our throats. Full vid: piped.video/PgUWpioC8iQ

The journalist seems to have the maturity of a 10-year-old juvenile.

She owned that entire interview. Not giving that bitch anything. She wouldn’t even face her! Just glances over when she speaks. A veritable closed door, arms folded. She even had her hair tucked in her jacket. Sydney is smarter than that piggy.

Na, it was Trump & Elon (for social media) who gave the silented voices. Two years ago, she couldn't have done this and worked in her industry again. That said, she's very courageous...that industry is still full of vipers. She stood strong! And we have her back for it.

Not really. the journalist asked a question with a million caveats designed to stoke online culture war, Sweeney designed to answer. It was the smart move and says nothing about anyone's politics.

There’s a huge difference between being proud of your race and being a racist.
