Amanda Palmer Make America Great Again
New Zealand Twitter Dragged Amanda Palmer and It Was Satisfying
We're i day into the Biden Presidency and so let's outset things off with a blindside. Think Amanda Palmer, the wildly divisive musician with a long and exhausting history of nonsense? You may recall that she was the one who attacked a music journalist for several months because she claimed she wasn't getting plenty positive attention from the press. She too has a long history of loving the N-discussion, trying to get musicians to perform unpaid, once wrote a poem romanticizing 1 of the Boston Marathon bombers, and claimed that Donald Trump would make punk rock great again. How did that work out, Amanda? Well, Ms. Palmer never stuck around in America long plenty to have her cocky-described Weimar-era Germany artistic revival. She also infamously moved to New Zealand equally the COVID-19 pandemic kicked off. Her married man, Neil Gaiman, acquired a lot of anger when he left the country and flew to Scotland during lockdown despite government advice condemning such actions. He then went back to New Zealand.
Yeah, she sucks.
Following the inauguration, Palmer decided to share a heartfelt story of an meet she claims she had in a local coffee shop where she was greeted by 'spontaneous applause' because people knew she was American.
— Amanda Palmer 🎹 (@amandapalmer) January xx, 2021just walked into a coffeeshop here in aotearoa new zealand and everybody behind the counter, not actually knowing me but knowing i was american, erupted in spontaneous applause
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
And then a group of Hobbits sang a vocal for her. Then Taika Waititi gave her a thumbs up. Then Jacinda Arden awarded her the official medal of New Zealand, which is shaped similar a kiwi and handcrafted by the Flight of the Conchords.
Kiwi Twitter found this merits somewhat sketchy, and they had great fun with the tweet.

Every bit someone from New Zealand, the only time I've ever seen people clap in Hospo is when someone dropped a whole tray of vino glasses and almost of the staff did a sarcastic slow clap. At that place's no fashion anyone would handclapping for you for simply being American smh

It's not difficult to see why people were skeptical about this really happening. Palmer is a known bullsh*tter and attention seeker who turns everything into a commentary on herself. This is the woman who watched 12 Years a Slave and said that it was almost how 'the privileged (whites/straights/menfolk) MUST be immune to fight for change. not just the oppressed.' Yup, it really was a movie about and for white people, eh? Swell task in that location. This is like every Jacob Wohl tweet about hipster coffee shops, or a all-time-of selection from the r/ThatHappened subreddit. Even if it did happen, it'due south the kind of self-aggrandizing nonsense that Palmer loves, an alibi to turn the nearly impactful and difficult moments in world history into her personal ukulele anthem inspiration.
She only made it even more cavalier every bit she tried to justify herself.
i never take it for granted. it's and so weird living through this whole moment in a foreign country. but simply so you know, the kiwis feel an intense affection for americans and worry most the american state of affairs. there'south no gloating or malice always. just a beautiful, gentle concern.

'the kiwis experience an intense affection for americans'? Jeez, they're not mythical creatures and, from my experience with Kiwi friends, they actually don't requite that much of a crap about Americans. Maybe they're just trying to be polite and yous're twisting that into some sort of glowing deification of a foreign state?
Once once again, Kiwi Twitter turned out.
pov: y'all're a 20-something worker at a New Zealand coffee store and you were polite to amanda motion-picture show.twitter.com/IjAU04rPAf

And as a rule, when we run across an American the reaction is generally something like,
"Oh shit, here's another bozo who thinks nosotros're hobbits with Aussie accents. Hopefully this i tin can at least eddy their own h2o?"
Hi. AP. Have always loved your music but please sympathise america is the imperial ability and Americans have systemic privileges in NZ over new zealanders in hiring and academia then your tweet has loaded connotations that while your weren't enlightened of, try to empathise.

She doesn't take it for granted, but she does have information technology upon herself to speak for a population she clearly does not fucking empathise in the slightest https://t.co/YiDcuOCSio

Working class Americans who don't accept the privilege to escape a aging racist empire, yes. Wealthy Americans who use Aotearoa as their commodities hole, fuck no. https://t.co/q7VefFQTqx

Maybe New Zealand is just being polite to Palmer until she leaves. Having a celebrity bypass the rules to use your country as their personal pandemic parking spot must suck, particularly when their hubby flagrantly breaks the rules because he missed being in the same timezone equally his pals. I'm sure Palmer will write a terribly screeched ukulele vocal about meat raffles and Peter Jackson to show her dearest for the nation, then all Kiwis volition quietly exercise the wanky hand gesture behind her back.
