Comeback Culture

I'm not particularly comfortable with banishing people on the basis of allegations, but it's a tad surreal to see guys like Spacey and Hammer appearing in the media again doing interviews, sometimes addressing the elephant in the room among anecdotes and general chatter; Spacey in particular as there were rumours about him for decades and he's had a lot of accusers.

There's clearly a grey area where people have to feel their way through how to deal with celebrities accused of criminal conduct. Should they get to pick up where they left off? Should they remain a pariah? The fact they can make other people a lot of money and draw an audience is a complicating factor as people like Morgan will have them on simply for the attention and a lot of us will be curious to see it.

The celebrity monster's just another market.

relevant to this, but also the Reality thread - she says she assumed that the fascists were bullshitting but the veil has fallen from her eyes, that's an important part of this scenario i think

Brand attending the RNC makes sense. The pivot to the right, often with a newfound Christian faith thrown in the mix, is the predictable move for a lot of these guys as they'll take anyone who parrots the talking points.

The recent Hammer and Spacey interviews stick out to me because they're appearing on big, mainstream platforms, albeit ones with an emphasis on "free speech" and a tendency to court controversy.

The government cut Spacey a deal: walk free but work for the state. He's a nationalised utility partly funding false flag Just Stop Oil protests - ask anyone in the know.

This Phillip Schofield thing seems like an ill-advised spectacle on his part:

The three-part reality show will see the broadcaster fend for himself on the uninhabited island. Without a camera crew or production team, he has recorded his journey himself with a handheld camera, body camera and a sound pack.
