Part 13/15:
What emerges from this week’s barrage of interviews, statements, and scandals is a picture of celebrity culture as a mixture of performance art, spiritual cultism, and cultural distortion. The loudest voices—Goldberg, Gilbert, Oprah—are often the most uninformed or manipulative, yet they wield significant influence over public opinion.
This pattern fuels societal confusion; history is rewritten, facts dismissed, and personal confessions used as tools for profit or social leverage. Goldberg’s trivialization of the Holocaust, Gilbert’s murderous confessions, and Oprah’s spiritual praise all serve to erode the pillars of informed discourse.
