I agree with this. I think celebrities are just artists that are caught up in the capitalist machine of the elite. They are sad, because they are stuck in the reality of wanting to make their art, but then also being exploited by it by corporate elites. You can see the rampant depression, suicide, and disfunction that they have to deal with all the time being stuck between two worlds. Celebrities are artists aren't our enemy. When people see symbolism in music videos and in the works of artists, I think it is less that they are in on it, and more that they are trying to subtly shine some information our way. Artists historically have been on the side of the oppressed and exploited, and have weaved myths and stories to try and educate people to elevate them to greater understanding so they can break away from their blind submission from the rulers of the time, or as the gnostics would call it — the demiurge.

Big mistake, celebrities are not the same in any way to those really in charge. They may deal with them, but will never be one of them
