It’s interesting how we hear hear little from the very virtuatous celebrity mob who have plagued us with sanctimony in the last decade of social media and it’s been the obscure few who stand up and said something in the face of hardened persecution. Weirdly seems to be a lot of 80s/90s crew that do speak up.

Martha Stewart, Katy Perry, Billie Eilish and Mark Ruffalo also spoke out, according to the article.
I do think we are seeing more people step up now. But it’s been a long time coming.
who cares what ex celebrities think.
Loads of people care what celebrities think and do, silly. If people didn't care about celebrities, they wouldn't be celebrities.
If you're going to express that you're above it all, try not to say anything silly because us mortals will make fun of you.
Depends on the celebrity. Many of them pursued a career after a 4-year study programme at uni, and are often way more educated than your average American.
Kardashians, though, maybe don't attend their orgo chem lecture.
Who cares what someone with a derivative username says? Hawk tuah indeed.
The same media that will fawn over their personal lives doesn't have the attention span for much of their political opinions when they can't use them to sell something.
Celebrity culture is a tool of capitalism just as the commercially driven media is. The owners don't like to encourage or enable celebrities to express opinions that undermine the work, consume, consent gameplay loop they have going on.
I totally agree. But they are human. They will be all preachy again once the grifters leave office. I had little tolerance for their shenanigans and the celebrity worship before, it’s turning into distain as time goes by.
Celebrities didn't stop talking about the things that are important to them. The media doesn't want to show people talking about that kind of stuff so it has largelystopped asking them and stopped amplifying their messages.
It's not that they're any more or less preachy than anyone else, it's how their words are framed and presented to the audience that makes it so easy to resent it. They're just people who generally get an outsized amount of airtime compared to the man on the street sharing his own opinion to the interviewer.
With commercial media, all scheduling is strategy. There is no such thing as a slow news day on planet earth, but if the news it outside the scope of the topics the channel exists to promote, they don't cover it.
If the news doesn't fit the narrative and it can be ignored, it will be. If it does fit the narrative they will shop around until they find a person who can speak charismatically on the subject and in the right way. If the news is too big to ignore and is hostile to the narrative then they will impanel a group of experts to tear it down. If they can dress a celebrity up like an expert and stick them on the panel all the merrier for manufacturing consent.
You are correct and much more rational than me!

Nice portmanteau
Most people outside of the cult are saying the same thing
