Dear Tessa, you have stolen a march on me, I've been contemplating an essay on just this phenomenon! Brava! We must free ourselves from the nonsense of no-nothing celebrities and the aspirations to become 'one' of their ilk!
So true. In the United States, it is illegal for a local municipality to pass any ordinance that goes against state or federal ruling (and corporate interests rule both of those). Despite very nice pretences and flags flying everywhere, we don't have a say in how things go. Until those policies change, our energies are bound tightly.
Ooops! I enabled the comments for all just now. Sorry, I thought I changed the default, and I didn't evidently!

Thank you, dear Manny! And sorry for stealing that march :-)) I want to read your essay!!
Well, you've said so much already ... I'll let you know if I can come up with something, but meanwhile, congratulations!!!
Thank you!! You are a very gifted writer, so I greatly look forward to reading what you come up with, when you write it!
I watch them to avoid stepping in shit.

Yes!
A very good "reasonable rant," Tessa.
Thank you, Howard!!
Great essay! I feel the same. These monsters are relentless in their evil deeds.

This celebrity obsession is the same as where people tend to follow who is the "leader" of society.
That's why people in white coats were blindly trusted.
They made them into celebrities with dancing tik tok videos 😂
They keep us down by constant shocks, but some of us notice the shocks quicker and get angry.

Of course it is very difficult to only pay attention to truth and turn away from the deceivers
I recently bought and read No Death, No Fear. Definitely well worth reading and contemplating!
