daggers-drawn:

Celebrity is a form of violence. One celebrated becomes dehumanized; an object of affection is still only an object.

Which is to say, disposable if it ever gets tacky.

The celebrity is absolutely alienated. They produce themselves as saleable product. As image of desirability.

So their existence, their appearance, every word they say and thing they do exists to be symbolized, explained, critiqued, analyzed, sold, repackaged, and sold again.

And the result is to produce a populace who think of themselves as ugly, lonely, poor etc etc etc. In need of what is being sold.

And when they can’t sell perfection anymore there’s as much money in having them destroyed and boiled into glue to hold together the tabloid cover and its feature story.

"Anarchists who wish to demolish the authority of the state and of capital but want to leave the authority of fixed ideas like morality, humanity, rights, or altruism intact only go halfway. For the egoist, these spooks can be even more vicious than the more visible forms of authority. Altruism, living to serve others, is one of the most pernicious superstitions extant in our civilization today. Workers engage in a terrible altruistic action every day when they labor to enrich the capitalist, who receives much simply by virtue of the fact that he has so much already. Women are victims of altruism when they waste away “living to serve” a man who is nothing but a tiny tyrant over the home. The other crimes that come from altruism are endless, and it’s clear to conscious egoists that altruistic socialism is a farce, capable only of transforming authority but not abolishing it. Egoism encourages individuals to no longer die slowly giving presents to those who give nothing in return, and from this idea flows the egoist communist desire for insurrection and expropriation.
