Why Almost Every Celebrity is a Regime Sycophant?
It’s Not Just Hollywood and Pop Musicians, it’s Also Authors and Rock Musicians
Seeing almost all our celebrities shilling for the regime makes me really desperate sometimes. I mean, all those people have a lot of money and influence to make a difference if they wanted to. But nope – there’s just disgusting sycophancy on their part, nothing else. I don’t even care why – did they really sell their souls to the Woke Devil for money and fame, are they just brainless delusional idiots really buying into the Woke ideology, or are they sociopathic psychos themselves. They’re still part of the problem.
Again, I would not be as upset if it was just Hollywood actors and pop musicians like Taylor Swift. After all, those people aren’t supposed to be neither brainy nor rebellious. They’re just pretty images, sometimes with a good voice or acting talent, fair enough, but still, they’re not here to think. Doesn’t mean there couldn’t be really smart actors or pop musicians (and there are, Joaqin Phoenix for example), but brain isn’t required for their job, same as rebellious spirit. Moreover, if anyone, pop musicians and Hollywood actors are making most money, so, money and fame is a big part of the deal for them either, and they might sacrifice a lot for their sake. So, although I still find it pathetic and pretty depressing, I at least understand the whys of it.
But rock musicians and authors? This is what upsets me the most. I mean, rock music are supposed to be rebellious. Rocks musicians are supposed to fight the system and to say the quiet part out loud in their music, not shill for the regime for fuck sake! It is how rock music was born after all – as a protest against the system. Yet we were seeing Neil Young, one of the old classic rock musicians, openly enabling COVID Pharma fascism and turning on his unvaccinated audience. Meanwhile younger female led rock bands like Garbage and Evanescence openly pledged their allegiance to the Woke Left ideology in their songs. This is doubly bad – first, to turn political and divide their audience instead of uniting them with music, and, second, to shill for the regime instead of fighting it. Is it really the rock music we deserve? Sigh
.
Now, take authors who are supposed to be very brainy to write novels, especially historical and political fiction like Game of thrones author George Martin, or science fiction. Yet we’re seeing most of the authors turning establishment sycophants as well. Abovementioned George Martin who had written brilliant historical and political fantasy where he had shown a very complex political intrigue and conspiracies, yet had fallen for our real regime propaganda as a simpleton. If we take fantasy and horror writers like Neil Gaiman and Stephen King, matters would become only worse. Woke mind virus had eaten their brain more than completely turning Stephen King into Stephanie Queen, sigh.
Yeah, some of rock musicians and creative writers don’t buy regime propaganda and even dare to speak against the regime. Take JK Rowling – most famous example – who had openly condemned trans lunacy and faced unprecedented peer pressure for it. Take also Morissey from the Smiths who was bravely speaking against toxic Woke agenda for a while (and I immensely respect him for it, he’s also a bisexual lol), and less famously Alice Cooper or Sharon Osborne who were saying at least something, albeit very cautiously. Still, Morissey and JK are pretty much two standalone islands in the sea of regime sycophants. Also, both of them are Brits but I’m not seeing American celebs speaking out against the regime. And even JK Rowling spoke out only against trans agenda, not against climate or COVID scam or Woke racism. So, even her resistance was pretty limited – on one single issue (albeit a big one, but still). But the rest of celebs hadn’t done even as much!
What’s wrong with our celebrities, particularly rock musicians and creative writers, why such collective blindness and sycophancy? Obviously, rock music got commercialized a lot and now isn’t much different from pop one, sadly – now it’s also all about money and fame. Speaking of authors, they also make millions on their fiction, not to mention that all publishing houses were also hijacked and occupied by the Woke Left ideologues, so the whole industry serves the regime now. Yeah, I’m aware of it.
But still, if authors are indeed as brainy as they had shown in their fiction (like George Martin), surely they should have seen by now that something is wrong? George Martin had even proven he understands how Woke cancel culture works - see his quote below. Yet he hadn’t spoken against it! So if they still hadn’t spoken out against it, does it mean they’re willfully serving the regime for their money and fame, well knowing which monster they serve in truth? That would be worse than to be genuinely delusional.
Now, about old rock musicians – is trendy political agenda just a ruse for them to attract attention of the fans who had almost forgotten them by now? Might be, but then it’s not just evil but pretty pathetic also. They’re just attention whores then, and nothing more. Very disappointing.
Idols of My Youth Were Crushed
Why am I so concerned about their sycophancy and attention-whoring? You see, the point is that I used to respect and adore these people a lot as a teen and then young adult. I was listening to Evanescence and Garbage a lot in my youth. For me as for a gay man, strong female lead in rock bands was somewhat inspiring – they were in a way role models for me, since as a gay man I couldn’t take just regular straight guys or regular women for role models either. But badass women – suited me right.
I had also read Neil Gaiman dark fantasy yarns as a teen, and later George Martin historical political intrigue as a young adult. Since I love mythology and fairy-tales, I admired Neil Gaiman’s retelling of the old stories. As a history nerd and political scientist, I loved brilliant George Martin’s historical and political fantasy masterpieces. I admired those people, you see. I thought they’re pretty smart, brave, strong, cool. How much was I mistaken!
So you see now why am I upset as much? It’s not just betrayal on their part which hurt me – it was my disappointment with them which hurts me much more. You see, I learned that George Martin isn’t as smart as he was showing in his novels if he is buying Democratic political psy op whole. Also, Shirley Manson from Garbage and Amy Lee from Evanescence aren’t as strong badass women either if they turned into pathetic attention-whores. The idols of my youth and young adulthood were crushed more than completely in an instant, and it’s just sad, so damn sad.
I tried to justify them somewhat. Maybe, George Martin was able to see and create all the complex political intrigue in his novels pretty well but it’s harder for him to spot the same patterns in real life around him – because it’s one thing to write about ruthless tyranny and totally another to live in one. So, it was not about his brain not seeing the fraud but about his ego refusing to accept he was conned.
Similarly, I tried to find excuses for Amy Lee and Shirley Manson – maybe, they were strong but not as smart, and are still stuck in the 00s – decade of their glory – when things were very different political wise, when Left really seemed to be anti-war, pro gay and pro women…After all, people sometimes tend to get stuck in times where they were most happy. So, now they act as if it was still early 00s and Democrats were still ‘good guys’ (or playing a part of such) protesting Bush disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan…After all, better if they’re just delusional rather than attention-whores and regime sycophants.
But I cannot make excuses for them any longer. Again, you could have been delusional back in 2016 and even in 2020. But now, in 2024, after COVID scam and Ukrainian money-laundering war, BLM and pro Pally mass formation psychosis, J6 ‘coup’ psy op and real Democratic coup of putting dementia potato in the White House? How could you still believe those people now? You’re either really brainless beyond excusable imbecile, or you’re complicit. But either way, you’re a problem.
Great article Alex. You’re right. So many bands I can’t listen to. So many movies I can no longer watch. However, although the vast majority of celebrities are either brainwashed or silent, we DO have Kid Rock, Roseann Barr and Ice Cube 🫤 🤷🏻♀️.
When I was a young man (19) serving my first couple of years in the Army as a Military Police officer on the largest installation in the United Sates Bruce Springsteen came out with Born in the U.SA. I was and still am a stubbornly independent conservative and patriot, but I can no longer even listen to those songs/ballads that I used to love. The “Boss”became a sellout, a grifter, a kiss ass, to woke-liberal Gubmn’t ideology supporting DEI and ESG. I like to listen to Serious XM, Classic Vinyl channel and now as soon as one of his songs comes on I immediately change channels. My current girlfriend and best friend finally asked me about why I would change the channel and I informed her. She said that she gets it, but I had never informed her before a few months ago why. We are the same politically, socially and have the same world-view and while watching the debacle of our supposed Commander in Chief, the other night, both became almost sickened by the fact that we were duped by the DemonRats and RepubliCons for a complete failure to put America first and push this eff-ing treasonous, Marxist, dementia laden, incompetent bastard out of office!
They (the pronoun Gubmn’t establishment) have been lying to “We the People” for years about this prick and though I became cynical long ago about our Gubmn’t, this 90 minutes proved that we have all been duped.
