"The magazine’s politics were what passes for center-left in the United States. […] The operating orthodoxy was that police killings, CIA coups, black site torture, and institutional misogyny were aberrations, deviations from the American norm that would eventually be corrected when the arc of the moral universe, long as it is, finally got around to them."

@JxckS possibilities:
1. The Swift #estate is so well endowed that they are a formidable force in the #US #court system
2. They show special preference to the Swift estate because of her #socialstatus
3. All of the above.We can pretend like she's some kind of avatar and an example of #women making it in a big way, but at the end of the day she is just part and parcel of the arts and entertainment #elite, whose exploitive industry is like a little aristocracy in of itself.
