Not even slightly surprised at the reactions to Emma Watson’s being exposed as a tax evader but LMAO just pls she is not ‘badass’, she’s not empowering you or ‘fighting patriarchal oppression’ or ‘taking back taxes she spent on tampons’. She’s a rich privileged woman who’s wealth allows her to be above the reach of the law and she’s taking advantage of that, just like David Cameron and all the corporations that are just so much easier to hate. Tax evasion by the rich is directly contributing to making life harder and harder for the rest of society as well as increasing all forms of social and economic inequality, and the fact that she willingly contributes to that tells me she doesn’t really give that much of a fuck about us. But yeah #HEFORSHE, and all that.

Ok firstly I see your point but taxes and feminism don’t have much to do with each other. I would evade my taxes if I could afford to. I would be a hoe ass gypsy and avoid any bullshit corporate gain. She is white and she is privileged but she’s also a voice who without, we wouldn’t have had as much feminist exposure. Like, she spoke to hundreds of representatives for hundreds of countries at the UN. They all listened attentively to her long speech that I fully believe and share with many when I’m asked about feminism. Nobody is a 100% morally sound human.

Taxes and feminism have everything to do with each other when you preach equality and want us to campaign for equal pay but at the same time profit off a system that puts a disproportional economic burden on people poorer than you (yeah lets get equal pay for women but not really economic quality for the poor ones lol) To me it just shows the contradictions and incompatibility between feminism and capitalism and I’m not here for someone who can preach for one and not the other, even if it is to a whole group of UN delegates

Emma Watson definitely sucks but tax evasion by the rich isn’t the problem…. It’s the existence of rich people themselves in a system that allows free accumulation of capital by individuals.

Truuuuu, i mean capitalism is always the bigger problem, but I’m still mad at tax evasion, it’s just another reminder of how separated the rich are from the rest of us and how much shit and exploitation they’re allowed to get away with

Someone called her ‘bourgeois feminist’ LOL

#hoecialist #is an amazing username lmao

I read an article that Emma only set up an offshore account for the sole reason as to protect her privacy. I have yet to see an accusation of tax evasion from her. Don't jump to conclusions until you know all the facts.

Loooool when will ‘privacy’ be a convincing reason to stash money under a shell company in a tax haven? Can I access this offshore “privacy”? Or do I have to be rich as fuck and unwilling to pay my dues like the rest of society because I don’t really have to?

I’m pretty sure if I (or any normal person) wanted to set up an account with Mossack Fonseca with my wee pennies, they would laugh in my face, and imo when only a certain strata of society can access certain benefits (such as legal tax evasion!) in a process that is so mystified and shady that it falls outside jurisdiction and control, i’ll jump to alllllll the conclusions. Specifically the conclusion that Emma Watson doesn’t really care about ‘equality’
