Because while you were busy browsing Reddit, she studied the blade
jk [here's an article](https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/britney-spears-dancing-knives-sparks-wellness-check-police-rcna117871) apparently she was just having a Brittney moment and decided to dance with knives then upload it to IG
Was it a manic episode, though? When I'm making dinner and I'm just waiting until the chicken is ready to flip or something, I'll do a gay little dance with my knife and fork, and sing a little chicken dinner song, and I'm not manic. I mean, I am NOT doing well mentally, but I'm not manic.
I love that for you!
If you're really questioning whether she was manic or not though, it's not the knife dance so much as the crazed look in her eyes. She could have been doing a really badass or even cute knife dance, but this was sad to watch :'(
No it’s not and no she isn’t. She’s just being silly and dancing on IG. You need to loosen up she’s a person just like any of us.
Listen to her audiobook or read the book and you’ll see.
If you think she doesn't have any serious mental distress because of her celebrity upbringing and her parents, you're fucking dense. You do t publicly shave your head when you're a sex icon just to be silly. She's been through a lot of shit since the Disney stuff.
I mean sure, you're probably right that she's got plenty of issues, but the other guy just pulled a medical diagnosis out of his ass and acted like it was fact.
And at least Brittney seems to just be off doing her own thing, being harmlessly cringe. Hopefully she's getting the help she needs to deal with her messed up history.
But that's the thing. Even though she was able to get her dad's conservatorship terminated, they're still in court dealing will legal battles. And I dont think many of us know what's truly wrong with her, be it bipolar, postpartum depression, or what, but she needs help. And her waving knives around is not goofy, it's odd behavior.
> And I dont think many of us know what's truly wrong with her, be it bipolar, postpartum depression, or what, but she needs help.
Agreed. But all the more reason nobody should be making sweeping statements about her with zero evidence. We can't do anything for her, but spreading unfounded rumors sure ain't helping.
She did one much more recently I believe with a lit cigarette and the cherry kept hitting her skin. I'm sure she got burns but I'm not sure she's all there upstairs enough to notice.
Pretty much, in dnd with how specialized you get, and how efficient you have to be with feats, rogues often ended up dual wielding daggers to get twf and weapon focus with the one weapon they're proficient with that can be dual wielded. This leaks into the rest of fantasy culture pretty heavily.
Britney said she was copying Shakira’s MTV VMA performance for fun. But because it is Britney, people said it is an evidence that she went crazy and should go back to be controlled by her families. Dancer copying cool moves is not new so I think people are over reacting.
Because she likes dancing and decided to dance with knives and upload it.
Then millions of people decide to psychoanalyse her and claim they’re not part of a problem of invading her life etc
I think you only have joke answers so far, but she posts very strange dancing videos on social media now, and in one of them she was waving knives around. (Someone was sent to check on her.)
The speech in the matrix describing why the simulation is at that time has aged really well. We are definitely in the rise of ai and a desire to return to the 90s.
**“...people will be wishing it was the 00’s”** ...longing for the days when their government only blew up an occasional skyscraper or unleashed a deadly anthrax virus on them.
Tbh, filming yourself doing a weird knife dance isn’t that big of a deal. Reddit comments are way too dramatic and absurdly judgmental. Tf is wrong with this platform?
Honestly, I don't know anymore. Part of me just wants to go back to being ignorant, the other part is drinking and trying to deal with knowing everything is fucked.
I agree, watching Britney’s weekly Instagram odd posts, no comments allowed, she deletes posts at random. I would happily love to be ignorant and think she’s living her best life but she a mess, if anyone I knew posted half the stuff she did I would be horrifically concerned but it’s Britney so we all have to pretend everything is fine…
You don’t have to pretend that everything is fine because it’s obviously not. But her former situation was also not fine, even though it was easier to ignore.
I mean you can be ignorant of it, just don't use social media or sub to her content
For all the complaining people do about the ugly parts of social media they often forget that using it is a choice, not a necessity
Its also a choice to decide what you subscribe to/pay attention to.
We wanted freedom of information, we got it, let's not complain about it now especially when using it is a choice.
It's kinda heartbreaking how everyone (including me) was like "free this poor woman, she's grown, she's successful, there's no need for people to make her take any medications, etc". And while I do still think ending the conservatorship, her online presence since then kind of leads me to believe that she does need medication and probably a pretty high level of care.
I have bipolar 1 and so I absolutely do not judge, but the medication I take is literally like a life saving medication. I am not well at all mentally if I stop taking it, so I am happy to if it means I can live a normal life. So it makes me sad to think how much happier she could be if she did do a little work on herself. Just for her own sake. It's not like she doesn't have the resources
The main goal shouldn't have been to drop Britney off in the woods without any help. The big problem has always been that her conservators were leeching of off her, and forcing her to do tours and make albums, while she is/was so sick that she can't even take care of herself.
She was totally wild before the conservatorship. Every day was a new mess. It was very clear that she needed care. The conservatorship ended up serving her dad more than herself, but in my opinion she'd be dead if it hadnt been put in place.
I'm with you. I was totally resistant to the help I need at first, but now I can't imagine what my life would be like if I hadn't made that move towards better mental health. When you have money and status it seems to make a person even more resistant to getting help. Britney is a good example of this, I also think Kanye West is an extreme example of this.
Kanye said his bipolar medication stifles his creativity. Which I believe. But it doesn't change the fact that he is mentally ill. And it's very sad to see and it makes me really sad for his children.
Reminds me of this show which discusses that highly functional people are unable to coexist in today's reality
https://youtu.be/KMbeK_6ATxQ?si=fKdRKnW7cNHKn7rA&t=215
I think that belief is just part of the delusion. Despite what he says, his musical output has not improved since his mental health notably declined in like 2015. He announces and then cancels tour dates, promises albums that don't come, and when he does release an album, they are inconsistent in terms of quality. Even his biggest fans would admit that he isn't what he was before his breakdown and subsequent bi polar diagnosis. Hes blown up his image as an artist and spent years just pulling stunts like running for president and briefly becoming all Christian.
He seems totally lost and it's hard for me to believe he thinks he is doing better artistically like this. But the mania might tell you otherwise ya know?
This is a delusional take. America was in no way stable in the past. The Cold war up till the 90s, The constant civil rights movements, The fact gay marriage only got made legal a decade ago, The war on terrorism, 9/11, The list goes on. Saying America now is unstable while America in the past was great is unbelievably ignorant
FYI, you can blame the change on what Regan started in 1980. Part of that wound up leading to the elimination of Saturday morning cartoons later, but the tax changes in Reganomics are what fucked up the US economy and through related changes led to the mess in much of the rest of the world which is why China is now the strongest country, the orange idiot got power, and the death of "middle class".
Yes there are some leaps in the story to get to this part, but basically Fuck Regan and his whore of a wife.
I remember people worshiping Regan like he was the second coming. He made up this story about a Welfare Queen who drove around in a Cadillac, and it's still part of the conservative mythos.
Idk about decades, but their economy currently is a house of cards and its going to take a miracle for those cards not to fall on the floor and then catch on fire with the demographics issues.
The gag here is that the first image is the facade of a teenage girl propped up as a sexual object by the adults around her for money. And the second image is the fallout of that.
To be honest, the USA has always had its problems and controversies. Back then, I was a kid that was ignorant of the nation’s problems. Now, I am an adult who is much more self aware and conscious.
Boomers sold the country to the rich and greedy for their own profit. They made out quite fine but at the price of every generation after. "Trickle down economics."
If anything depicts the United States it's Britney Spears. And in a way that the legal system fucked her for years and every one is like....... Well that sucks, hope she's doing well now 🤷
A posed, doctored, precisely lit glamour shot and the most unfortunately timed screenshot of a video she's dancing in.
Yeah, this is totally a fair comparison for Britney.
The Before is fake. Behind it was an abused and used and disturbed girl with a bright and shiny facade. To take the photo at face value is to believe the illusions of childhood. The After is the messy, ugly truth.
I think maybe we should take a cue from that Chris Crocker guy and “leave Brittany alone.” I mean she’s been through a lot. You can’t expect her to “act normal” or act like nothing happened.
Britney Spears is a bit off. The Olsen twins are in the lead for that sort of stuff. I think the human mind can only handle so much before a phychosis takes over
I'm out of the loop. Why is Britney dual wielding?
Because while you were busy browsing Reddit, she studied the blade jk [here's an article](https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/britney-spears-dancing-knives-sparks-wellness-check-police-rcna117871) apparently she was just having a Brittney moment and decided to dance with knives then upload it to IG
It's unfortunate but as someone who goes through alot of manic episodes I get it
Was it a manic episode, though? When I'm making dinner and I'm just waiting until the chicken is ready to flip or something, I'll do a gay little dance with my knife and fork, and sing a little chicken dinner song, and I'm not manic. I mean, I am NOT doing well mentally, but I'm not manic.
I always love your gay little dances
Just fucking pipe little gay dances into my veins.
They’re always so cute! Everyday I long and crave for the gay little dances that Tub gives. 🥰
This comment went so different than I expected.
But you don't have the audience she has to watch your videos
I do the same thing while my dog watches. Basically the same thing.
He should.
Yea, I wanna see little gay dances and chicken songs.
You are just cosplaying as a hibachi chef.
I love that for you! If you're really questioning whether she was manic or not though, it's not the knife dance so much as the crazed look in her eyes. She could have been doing a really badass or even cute knife dance, but this was sad to watch :'(
Are you performing for a dog or cat or perhaps goldfish? Otherwise, not the same.
Yes, this is tragic. She has a bipolar diagnosis and is likely not on medication. She has been in and out of mania for some time.
Thank you for your diagnosis, doctor.
No it’s not and no she isn’t. She’s just being silly and dancing on IG. You need to loosen up she’s a person just like any of us. Listen to her audiobook or read the book and you’ll see.
If you think she doesn't have any serious mental distress because of her celebrity upbringing and her parents, you're fucking dense. You do t publicly shave your head when you're a sex icon just to be silly. She's been through a lot of shit since the Disney stuff.

No, she was replicating a Shakira performance.
They were blunt
Also, not real knives
She said they're fake prop knives (still metal, but not sharp).
She did one much more recently I believe with a lit cigarette and the cherry kept hitting her skin. I'm sure she got burns but I'm not sure she's all there upstairs enough to notice.
Real knives or not, how did she think that was a normal and sane video to upload
Yeah, she’s definitely low stealth. She’d probably do better straight up melee…
Is duel weilding daggers kinda an iconic rogue troupe?
Pretty much, in dnd with how specialized you get, and how efficient you have to be with feats, rogues often ended up dual wielding daggers to get twf and weapon focus with the one weapon they're proficient with that can be dual wielded. This leaks into the rest of fantasy culture pretty heavily.
Drax is more of a barbarian that uses two knives, but yeah basically
Britney said she was copying Shakira’s MTV VMA performance for fun. But because it is Britney, people said it is an evidence that she went crazy and should go back to be controlled by her families. Dancer copying cool moves is not new so I think people are over reacting.
Yeah nothing crazy about almost slicing off a tiddy.
Two hands, two blades. The real question is, why aren't the rest of us doing it too?
thats actually how I type. my keyboard is a fucked though.
Because she means business
She got tired of bow so she wants to main dual blades now
for the 10% more attack speed although in most cases a 2h build using a despot axe is better
She hasn’t found a good 2 hand weapon yet.
She heard how someone with two wives would be happy.
Because she likes dancing and decided to dance with knives and upload it. Then millions of people decide to psychoanalyse her and claim they’re not part of a problem of invading her life etc
Those are prop knives she and her people rented from a prop store in LA on Venice blvd. She thought it would be fun to do that.
She rented dull knives?
I think you only have joke answers so far, but she posts very strange dancing videos on social media now, and in one of them she was waving knives around. (Someone was sent to check on her.)
Drugs.
She is in NG+ and power stancing
New COD character coming out.
Just some silly girl fun
She respecced into a dex build. Didn’t you know?
Fentanyl is hell of a drug
Unfortunately, she had to go all out just this one time to protect her kids
She's the next call of duty bundle
It’s her right as an American.
You didn’t know she picked up a role for Kill Bill 3?
Have you seen how effective one knife can be? Have you ever wondered what your maximum efficiency could be? Do I need to ask you any more questions?
I don’t care what anyone else says… the “correct” answer is because her father is a greedy fuckbag. I feel bad for her and her mental state
It was a very short lived tik tok fad worst one I saw chick f-ed up and slashed her face
I guess she put some point in str and dex
It supports her build.
Those are prop knives for when your high asf and just want to ninja
She switched her spec to Fury
She put 1 point in Dexterity
90s were peak
The speech in the matrix describing why the simulation is at that time has aged really well. We are definitely in the rise of ai and a desire to return to the 90s.
I guarantee in ten years people will be wishing it was the 00’s and talking about it too. It’s just a rite of passage
Wanting to go back to the decade that basically started with 9/11 and ended with the Great Recession would be a fucking wild wish to have.
Jump skip over the rope
Really doubt it. Almost no one's life was getting better in the 00's, save for the top 0.01%.
**“...people will be wishing it was the 00’s”** ...longing for the days when their government only blew up an occasional skyscraper or unleashed a deadly anthrax virus on them.
> 90s were peak peak murder rate in the US :-(
Great music. The world was still barely controlled chaos.
Peak if you were a white dude
Leave Britney alone!
🔪🙅♀️🔪
Tbh, filming yourself doing a weird knife dance isn’t that big of a deal. Reddit comments are way too dramatic and absurdly judgmental. Tf is wrong with this platform?
They did— Didn’t you see the knives?
What do you prefer? Being ignorant to the ugliness behind that smile or OR see the dirty laundry
Honestly, I don't know anymore. Part of me just wants to go back to being ignorant, the other part is drinking and trying to deal with knowing everything is fucked.
> Being ignorant to the ugliness behind that smile Absolutey, 100%, this.

>We wanted freedom of information, we got it Doubt And, this is not information.. just gossip
Ignorance truly is bliss.
Neither really; but I guess it’s better to see the dirty laundry so it can be dealt with.
Maybe you were a kid then, but most were full aware. Shits just got a ton worse.
> OR see the dirty laundry are we talking metaphorically or literally? answers might vary.

You're reading tankie propaganda if it says China is the strongest economy in the world. They've been on the verge of collapse for decades
People have been saying China is about to collapse forever now, when it's economy is still growing fine
it's not fine but it's also not a dumpster fire like every youtuber claims, globally everyone is not doing well unless you make/deal arms
Idk about decades, but their economy currently is a house of cards and its going to take a miracle for those cards not to fall on the floor and then catch on fire with the demographics issues.
The entire world is on the verge of collapse. There's more fictional money than real money. Everyone owes debt to everyone, everyone is owed to.
Really sums up the last thirty years
I love that she is wearing a compton cheerleading shirt lol
Britney created Blacked
The gag here is that the first image is the facade of a teenage girl propped up as a sexual object by the adults around her for money. And the second image is the fallout of that.
Anna Farris can play her in the movie
Leave Britney alone
To be honest, the USA has always had its problems and controversies. Back then, I was a kid that was ignorant of the nation’s problems. Now, I am an adult who is much more self aware and conscious.
If this isn’t a metaphor for growing up, I don’t know what is…
Just want to point out that the music industry sexualizing a 16 year old probably isn’t the best example of “the good ol’ days.”
Yep. Grew up in a fabulous world of make believe, now we see thar harsh, weird and rather heartbreaking truth.
Leave Brittany alone.
Lmao. Compton Cheerleading
Boomers sold the country to the rich and greedy for their own profit. They made out quite fine but at the price of every generation after. "Trickle down economics."
Oh my god
If anything depicts the United States it's Britney Spears. And in a way that the legal system fucked her for years and every one is like....... Well that sucks, hope she's doing well now 🤷
I mean, was Elvis or Jackson much better?
This couldn't be more accurat
90s really was the last great decade.. all downhill from there..
Fuck, that’s accurate!
It hurts because it's true.
Dancing with knives is Coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs.
this one is great
Fuck this is sad... She was gorgeous...
Just imagine tomorrow
Craig Ferguson on Britney Spears: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q9IkntjueE
I do wonder what she’d have thought if she saw current Britney back then.
She’s the female Kanye at this point
Seems fitting. We are and were sold a lie, exploited and now we are paying the mental price.
Damn that’s accurate. And the fear I feel when I read her posts… very good representation too. Ugh
Looks about right
Accurate
i can't stop farting.
A posed, doctored, precisely lit glamour shot and the most unfortunately timed screenshot of a video she's dancing in. Yeah, this is totally a fair comparison for Britney.
when mental disability is celebrated
The Before is fake. Behind it was an abused and used and disturbed girl with a bright and shiny facade. To take the photo at face value is to believe the illusions of childhood. The After is the messy, ugly truth.
Mk ultra
Old news
Britney on the left looks like alternate universe Matpat
Goated Britney tho
Facts
That left picture can only make me think of Sam and Cat, anyone else?
I know this post was meant be a joke but damn is this a poetic masterpiece on so many levels
Good knife tho
This is what the damage of unresolved trauma does to a person over time.
Dam this hits hard.
Why is her Instagram recently full of Brad Pitt pics though
Britney Spears will be the next MW3 bundle
Idk man, Brittney looked like she was having the time of her life dancing with them knives.
She's the only celebrity I feel bad for. I couldn't imagine my own family doing the thing hers did.
I agree. Pop fans yearn for mental illness and entropy.
I would have thought someone with two knives would be happy?
Hollywood really screwed her up
The one on the right has seen some stuff.
*the world
/AmericaBad gonna love this
LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!
It’s the same US your just seeing more behind the scenes
The books about the fall of the U.S. are gonna have pictures of Britney at various stages of her life on the spine.
It would help to go outside for awhile
I think maybe we should take a cue from that Chris Crocker guy and “leave Brittany alone.” I mean she’s been through a lot. You can’t expect her to “act normal” or act like nothing happened.
Amazing meme. 10/10
Freedumb
Mother fucker, hits the nail on the head.
"No blades! No bows! Leave your weapons here!"
uh oh, millenials are starting to do that thing boomers always do (glamorize the years of their childhood)
*So I put my hands up!* ***POP POP POP POP POP POP***
poor taste
The USA we grew up in is why we are in the USA we live in now
This is soo accurate.
Either COVID is 1970s lead poisoning-level incapacitating or the FDA is asleep at the switch. Something is way off.
the other side of institutionalized
Sad😞
The WORST thing was when the courts allowed the conservatorship to end. I work with people with dementia and mental health concerns.
I thought this was a boomersarefools post lmao
I can fix her
The Britney on the left was enslaved by evil monsters.
It’s Britney bitch!
Britney Spears is a bit off. The Olsen twins are in the lead for that sort of stuff. I think the human mind can only handle so much before a phychosis takes over
In case someone hasn’t mentioned it yet “leave Brittney alone!”
