Hollywood's Double Standard

  • 💡 Celebrities like Taylor Swift, Madonna, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Billie Eilish, Meghan Markle, and John Boyega were vocal during the Black Lives Matter movement but are now silent on Kirk's death.
  • ⚖️ This silence is presented as a double standard, highlighting hypocrisy in celebrity activism.

Shifting the Overton Window

  • 🗣️ When the culture they helped create aligns with celebrating Kirk's "assassination," they choose to remain silent.
