NYC libraries are cutting Sunday service bc they can’t afford to keep the lights on anymore
Like clockwork a celebrity will say something cool and then five yeara from now theyll have a change of heart. None of these people are your friends and even if they are cool now they will slide to liberalism.
Ehh, complicated. Technically most celebrities are much more aligned with the working class than the bourgeois because they are entertainers. They actually do a thing instead of playing make believe with numbers all day. The WGA strike really exposed a lot of the antagonisms between talent and management. But what actually matters here is that normal people, the people we want on our side, listen to celebrities. Obviously Cardi B isn’t going to lead the People’s Liberation Army of America to victory, but the more people who start to understand exactly how they’re being squeezed, the better.

Jiang Qing was an actress tho. I am just saying the Cardi B Cultural Revolution is possible
Maybe that’s the proper marxian analysis, but in practice, the fact that they’re selling their public image means that they’re much more susceptible to the pressures of conformism than almost any other worker. They have the same anxious mindset of the petty bourgeoisie, but (sometimes) without the capital.
Entertainers are businesses and the business they run is their brand image. It’s attached to them personally, but it’s still a business.
This is easier to see in “influencers” like Twitch or Youtube than it is for people to notice in television I think.
The B stands for based
Cardi B continues to be cool
I have to admit that I underestimated this woman. When our brief moment in the zeitgeist ended, I expected her to move on like the rest of our so-called celebrity allies did. I hope she runs for president.
well as the alternatives are in the words of a Biden supporter Mussolini or Hitler yeah fuck it give Cardi B a shot.
