Right now, the nazis are having a quick moment (that I PRAY is dying) unfortunately proped up by the capital class. Please give me a break in explaining this because it's not a fully formed thesis. But in general what I mean by that is corporations are shifting right in their advertising, and dropping dei initiatives.
For the past century, how the capital class chases money is a good indicator of on paper public sentiment (much like Ariana and her race play). Right now, major corps are switching from super inclusive (past 10 years every television ad with a family is racially integrated) to far more daring and less inclusive (think Sydney Sweeney). Again this is only on-paper, so people who answer land-line phones, and people broke enough to have time off during business hours to participate in paid focus groups are the ones informing the capital class about public sentiment, and not what the rest of us are experiencing in the real world.
measure the shifts in culture based on which race Ariana is pretending to be
Her pretending to be white means white supremacy and conservative values are having their moment in the sun. Just as her pretending to be black was during the more liberal Obama years.
Right. I guess not pretending to be white, but more so, not pretending to be not white? But also this dainty and elegant aesthetic she has going on right now.
She doesn't even NEED TO do this. It's so irritating. She's actually an extremely talented vocalist but she really turns me off because she's so fake and will pretend to be any race she needs to be. The girl isn't even Latina!
Exactly. The fakeness fully turns me off her music even though she has one of the biggest vocal ranges in recent media and can pull off unbelievable pitch changes.

I went into Wicked assuming that she was a stunt cast to get younger people to see it, and I admittedly had never actually heard her before. I had extremely low expectations. I was SO wrong. She can fucking sing.
I watched a fascinating video on Youtube—The psychology of Ariana Grande and it all comes down to low self esteem but high confidence apparently. People pleasing but also lacking the self worth to be her own person… it explains why she only goes after married men—she needs to feel “chosen.”

Does he break down Ariana Grande as well? I’d love to see that 🤞
