OYTD

it occurred to me that the entertainment industry is the most clever fucking tentacle of the capitalist creature.
you have all these people
right
people are what we are and what we're claiming to be a Right and something Holy, above all else. forever.
we put some of them on the internet, in a world of wires and clicks and glowing possibilities (virtually). for all their own sets of reasons, they have chosen (or inherited or been crammed into) a world of normal, not overly wealthy or lauded. just people, doin our thing. we're the cogs, after all. utilizing a cheaper means of experiencing the world, if we're honest.
then put a bunch of others, far fewer, you understand, and far more conventionally attractive. if they have a lineage, better! so ok, doll those fuckers up (who usually, as part of this agreement, sometimes pretend to be other people or just tell us their stories and show us their lives until this point and then what happened to them after this life began.) and throw them in front of any machine that captures images on a chemical plate and shit
yeah no, just keep em dressed up and shiny, you'll need a team, don't worry if you don't know all of it, aaaaannd just let the rest of the poor fuckers have at it all. images. products. art. any fucking MOVEMENT or breath or choice or anything. they need to be evermore under a magnifying glass, yeah until they die, it'll be great. no yeah, they're a renewable resource. please. so many, we scrape the barrel every decade or so, but sure enough, a new crop is always in the wings.

and so it goes.
and they stand in frames for the rest of their lives.
and we watch almost every second, endlessly. it can be extrapolated that this whole concept is what keeps us from noticing how things are and how we're trapped, restrained, limited, stripped of all joie de virve. we all just comply cuz really this runs on money and money drives this world. we can't resist what we NEED to help ignore resisting. come onnnnn

and this. is an industry.
we hold it up.

talk about a fucking singularity.
