Did you even see the finalists? It included Claudia Sheinbaum, Yuliw Navalnaya, and Kate Middleton. Regardless, American politics influence the entire world and make an enormous impact. That impact is why they choose who they choose.
😹I may never recover after seeing this. Humans, control yourselves. Some things are just too offensive. #eyesBurning #CatCodeViolated #WhereistheDignity
I’m not sure how to feel about this. 1) it’s looked at as this prestigious, positive award/placement, but 2) HELLO HITLER WAS ONCE POTY and also 3) how in the fuck did we go from Taylor Swift to him???? 4) they literally have a whole gala for people on the list and he WILL use that to his advantage
This brings a lot of different feelings... A lot of weird feelings as well... Not sure how I feel about this - it seems odd, but he has got quite some screen time this year as well... 🤔
Dystopic, yet sickeningly simplistic. Adaptation is the key to our survival. But what we’re normalizing, will only escalate. We are the frog slowly boiling to death bc we can’t feel the rise in temp. And it’s not even subtle. We’re like cattle waiting in the slaughterhouse line.
The way he brainwashed half of the Americans to vote for him again after everything is some top level bullshiting. As shitty as he is, he deserves this
Time's Person of the Year is the person who had the most impact. It's not a title given to people for being good. Hitler won in 1938, ffs. It's not meant to be an endorsement of the person.
You can disagree but it's not based in fact given what Time's has stated over the almost 100 years the title has existed. It was given to Guliani for responding to 9/11. They posted this year's shortlist but I can't find 2001's so we don't know if UBL was on it. Ayatollah Khomeini was named in 1979.
It's not just his supporters given the replies. Time isn't the one at fault here. Other winners include Charles Lindburgh, Wallis Simpson, Hitler, Stalin, one of the Dulles brothers, Kruschev, Nixon, Kissinger, Khomeini, and Putin to name a few. They aren't exactly seen as beloved.
Many good, decent people have gotten the honor too and many people mainly MAGA and others will see this as a prestigious title for him and not put him in the Putin category.
But it's not about decency, it's about impact. Besides, MAGA loves Putin so they won't even see the downside to that. And if that's the way they think, maybe we shouldn't be legitimizing that thinking by pretending it is prestigious and an honor.
You mean the fake one. He wasn't named until 2016 and that was hung up before 2016. Besides, I wouldn't be telling anyone I think like Trump given he doesn't understand the point of the list.
the people can obviously tell they are using him as outrage bait to generate clicks for their dying magazine and it’s extremely tasteless and dangerous to platform him at all in this way.
That’s the frustration. It should be limited to people who are doing good. It garners a lot media coverage so it provides a great deal of free publicity. Furthermore it sane washes and offers at least some level of legitimacy to the individual chosen. Time needs to change their parameters.
Yeah bad people are named all the time, it’s not an endorsement but still - I could have used something nice this year. Not sure who else dominated other than Taylor Swift or Elon Musk and they named Taylor last year
Like a children in grade school, many people (trump in particular) can't tell the difference between positive affirming attention, and negative denouncing attention.
And much like grade school we spend most of our available attention denouncing those who slash out because:
1) Not giving them that attention just makes them lash out more.
2) People we'd affirm are unlikely to slash out and instead will just do more good things to try to get that positive attention.
In the end we reward bad behavior to avoid worse behavior, because personal accountability isn't a thing.
Got a email with the article this am. He sounds like a moron as usual. 🤷♀️
The people around him are corrupt, liars & will not survive under his control.
His answer to “groceries”?
“Once they go up, it’s hard to get prices down.”
Ignored the most egregious parts of the campaign, as usual.
This period of time we all live inright now will be known as 2nd Dark Age in future history books. It will probably last for couple of centuries as the last one. Our generation was just unlucky comparing to others thriving times.

Truly sad and shame on Time.
That was truly iconic.
Tells us how out of touch these media people are.
This is the write up.
Does anyone have a list of their advertisers? I'd like to make sure they do not receive a penny from me either and let them know why.
Enough that his gold clubs even framed and hung up a fake Time cover. They see this as 'evidence' he's the best thing ever. :/
