I don’t think people fully understand how much damage that pathetic “imagine” stunt did to celebrity worship culture. That video moved the needle in a bad way for almost everyone who isn’t a celebrity. If you liked celebrities before, you became more apathetic after. If you were apathetic, you became disdainful. If you were disdainful, you became outright hostile. And if you were rich and intelligent, you were mad at the narcissistic celebrities for needlessly kicking the hornets’ nest. I think it was a watershed moment today hasn’t gotten nearly enough analysis.
I feel the same way right now with the deluge of articles about "SEE WHICH CELEBRITY HOUSES BURNT DOWN" and the individual "WATCH THEM CRY ABOUT IT" follow up articles.
I've seen more "who the fuck cares, this is distasteful" from everyone about that than people remotely sympathetic. Its complete hate for them trying to make it about themselves from anyone who remotely sees it.
James Wood is one of the few that I actually care more about, that I've seen in interviews commenting about the fires and losing his home. I do feel sorry for him.
But yeah, I really couldn't give less of a fuck for basically every single other one.
What if I already hated them with the intensity of a thousand suns? 2016 and Trumps election did that to me. I see them as no more than dancing monkey and when the monkey keeps thinking it can do politics it needs to be brought down a notch or two. I am so tired or celebrities, I welcome AI making them obsolete.
I've always hated that song. Remember in 2020 when all the celebrities were singing it on zoom to help us poor plebs?

All I saw were hate-filled leftist goblins gleefully watching Woods cry on CNN. Wonder how they feel now that his home is confirmed still standing.
