I find it extremely lame that some celebrities pretend to be badass, edgy and rebellious, only to then turn around and enthusiastically advocate their own enslavement (and everyone else’s enslavement, too). And somehow it seems more ridiculous when democrats do it, since they pretend to be more enlightened, “progressive” and anti-establishment. “I’m cool, I’m tough, I’m bad, da man can’t keep me down! … and by the way, I want this narcissistic, power-happy, war-mongering, pro-establishment, psychotic white bitch to rule the world!” Really?
It’s bad enough for actors to do it—they’re essentially professional liars anyway. But when supposedly rebellious musicians—rock stars, rappers, etc.—try to play the “tough guy” role while advocating subservience to political masters… well, that’s just freaking pathetic. (The “Vote or Die!” thing was pretty much a parody of itself.) Sometimes it can be hard to tell whether such “badasses” are just unprincipled sell-outs, kissing the royal ring in return for the master’s favoritism, or if they were utter frauds to begin with. Either way, if you try to convey an image that says, “I’m a unique, non-conformist individual, independent and open-minded,” and then you follow that up with, “and here is who I want ruling me,” then you’re just an embarrassment to humanity.
Similarly, when most celebrities latch on to some “cause” or other, it’s almost always some super controversial and daring issue (yes, that was sarcasm), such as, “I don’t like cancer,” or “I'm against bullying,” or maybe, “I want poor people to have more money.” Of course, those are perfectly worthy causes, but if you think any celebrity is courageous and awesome for publicly coming out as being strongly “anti-stuff-that-everyone-knows-is-bad,” that’s pretty sad.
(I have to throw in a positive mention of Colin Kaepernick here, who refused to stand for the mindless human livestock ritual that happens before NFL games. I have no doubt that I could find plenty to disagree with Colin about, but at least in this case he dared to publicly do something that he knew would make a lot of people hate him. However misguided you or I might think his beliefs or opinions are, at least he wasn’t a spineless sellout who did whatever massuh told him to do so he could get a pat on the head.)
To be blunt, fame and fortune tend to make people into unprincipled whores. The “powers that be” can usually just bribe successful people into not saying or doing anything that conflicts with the masters’ agenda. More often than not, as soon as someone has something to lose, his soul will be sold to the devil, and that is why so many celebrities kiss the asses of the political masters.
That is also why I don’t bother trying very hard to “convert” famous people, or people who are already successful in the mainstream. They got where they are with the status quo the way it is. Why would they risk losing all that by challenging the status quo? The hordes of famous sell-out lapdogs are not the path to freedom. I’d be stunned if there were half a dozen spines in Hollywood all total. Smart tyrants make it a priority to buy influence with those high in entertainment and academia—the two main sources of indoctrination for the peasantry.
But getting back to my main point here—“rebellious” posers clamoring for a new political master—I can’t leave out all the spineless, scared wusses in the “liberty movement” who are now doing the same damn thing by cheering for Fuhrer Trump. Aside from the fact that the guy is an unprincipled sleaze ball who talks like an utter moron to win the support of insecure, angry imbeciles; aside from the fact that there is nothing remotely consistent or principled about his juvenile babblings; aside from all that, the fact that some supposed advocates of freedom are trying to get anyone into a position of political power is just pathetic.
Apparently they think that they can still count as badasses because their candidate is a loud-mouthed, obnoxious asshole. They are weak little children who just want a baby-sitter who says swear-words, because then they can feel cool.
“I believe in freedom! … And I really want THIS guy on the throne!” To pretend to value freedom, or to pretend to be an anarchist, only to then turn around and seek a political savior to protect your sorry ass (or your race, your culture, your “nation,” or whatever other pack-mentality bullshit you’re scared of losing), just makes you an epic wuss. And yes, I know that they like to pretend that they’re just being “realistic,” and choosing something slightly less destructive than the alternative, for practical reasons. But for most of them, that’s a lie.
As you can see by the way they talk, most of them really and truly want Nanny State to save them. They don’t just talk about how “Tyrant B” might stomp on them less than “Tyrant A.” No, they specifically support “Tyrant B” so he will use the violence of the state to protect them from all the uncertainties of life (like scary brown people coming to the U.S.). And to justify their authoritarian security blanket, they use the exact same template that every statist always uses:
“We don’t really want to, but now we neeeeed to have the state committing widespread aggression … um … for the common good, for the nation, or really bad things will happen! In the long run supporting this kind of massive government power will make us more free! Principles are usually good, but now we have to be practical, and empower the ruling class to save us all! The ends justify the means! We have no choice! If we don’t inflict widespread authoritarian violence on the world there will be chaos and mayhem! We neeeeeed to use the Ring of Power, just this once!”
No, cheering for Trump and his neo-fascist bullshit doesn’t make you a cool, tough, brave badass. It makes you a spineless, cowardly sell-out. All the tyrants had to do was go down their list of fear-mongering tactics until they found something that you are scared of, and then you would abandon any shred of principle you might have had, and cower in the corner like the wuss you are, begging big government to save your sorry ass. Here’s a tip: when you advocate state violence by state agents to enforce state “laws” about state borders, that makes you a goddamn statist.
“Muh borders! Muh culture! Muh country!” Those who join gangs usually do so because they are cowards—because by themselves they feel weak and helpless, and desperately want to feel powerful. And those rallying behind Daddy Trump are no different.
Sorry, Trumpites, but none of your pack-mentality, collectivist excuses will change what you are: a bunch of fearful, impotent state-worshipers, trying in vain to manufacture an excuse that sounds rational, in order to justify the empowerment of the ruling class and the widespread use of authoritarian aggression. You're just a bunch of fake-ass “libertarian” posers letting their inner scared, helpless wimps shine through.
By all means, go run crying back to Big Brother “government.” Crouch down and lick the hand that enslaves you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you ever pretended to advocate freedom.
