“What up you guys! It’s your girl Macie K here with another makeup tutorial that I have SO MUCH more time for lately, thanks to not owning my home or any of my possessions,” exclaimed beauty influencer Macie Kellerman to her 55.2k followers.

“Ever since I sold my land to a local noble, in this case Blackstone Private Equity, I can focus on bringing you this Easy Beginner Glow Up Makeup Tutorial,” Kellerman enthused, demonstrating a 3-in-1 Corrector, Concealer & Illuminator manufactured by a subsidiary of the same private equity firm.

Sounds like Idiocracy. But compared to what we're experiencing in the here & now, that film is utopian.

Satire aside, I think Ethan Klien is the best example of an influencer that had a very sudden hard right shift.

Went from being someone who dunked on the right so much that he started a podcast with Hasan Piker, to a Zionist freak who spreads pro-Israel propaganda, defends billionaires, demonizes socialism and appears to only cry about political violence when its rich white fascists getting killed.

After leaving the hunter gatherer societies, most of humanities time has been spent not being "free"
