I’m annoyed by celebrity culture, but geezus anti-celebrity culture can be just as insufferable.
Just tune it out people.Yeah, I don't mind propaganda, just don't listen.
That's a joke, in case it was not obvious.

No bread , all circuses
I've been saying a variation for the past year or a bit longer "Circuses are cheap, bread is expensive"
That's why we have so much entertaiment, but no housing.Except the circuses AREN'T cheap anymore either, what with the likes of Ticketmaster/Live Nation making it so a concert ticket costs as much as a car and the NFL's only goal being to maximize the profits of the team owners.
Just to use the examples directly related to the billionaire and multimillionaire depicted.

Currently true as well.
No we managed pretty well.

Just tune it out people.No! People need to get their heads out of their ass and focus on what is important.
It is right and just to hate on people who only speak up when the topic is useless drivel. They should be ashamed of their inaction and their complacency is disgusting.

Reminds me of this headline from The Onion from right after 9/11
I miss the time when the president wearing a tan suit was the biggest scandal in politics.

Right?
Who gives a flying fuck?
I guess the answer is apparently a shit ton of losers with no lives of their own.
I feel insulted that I've even been forced to be made aware of this over the last 48 hours.
It isn’t helpful to think of them as losers. Like the image says, no bread all circuses. Without making any inferences about these two people pictured, the media and public focus on their engagement is in the service of maintaining and strengthening the status quo power structures.
Resist the urge to dismiss this as crank conspiracy thinking. There is a system, even if it wasn’t designed and even if it isn’t organized. And the media is by and large a tool of that system.

Everyone should really read ALL of this image. The headline obviously resonates with a ton of people, but there is a bigger message here that people need to engage with.
I don’t know if this is OC from the author or not, but this is genuinely brilliant.

I think we're at a point where we can all agree that having interests beyond what's serious and exigent is healthy and reasonable. Now we need to get past the idea that not liking something that's popular (like sports and entertainment) makes you better than people who do. It doesn't make you better.
People who like Taylor and Travis and want them to do well are not automatically complacent in other areas of their lives. They don't have their heads up their asses for this reason. They have nothing to be ashamed of, talking about topics that, in your opinion, are useless drivel. Especially here, on the internet.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Yeah, you're right. I'm talking more about the clown shows in the news and political systems. Although a netflix subscription or a phone plan is a lot cheaper than a mortgage, and the boomers love to say that the computers and internet are why we can't have houses.
Watching this idiot lipsync after flying in to a concert you paid a month's wage for is a fucking insult.

I'm marginally happy that anyone anywhere is in love. Cool beans.
Beyond that, I'd rather see people I know have happy and healthy lives. FSM knows they deserve it just as much as these two.
R’amen to that!

My grievances come from the fact that there’s no counterweight. Posting this type of thing is not inherently bad, but it’s all these people ever post.
I agree, people can enjoy things I don’t enjoy! But by exclusively posting vapid content, they are diluting the content pool and drowning out what is important.
Your inaction is your admission of acceptance.
