Picture this: the glitzy red carpet of the Oscars has suddenly transformed into an apocalyptic landscape swarming with Hollywood Zombies. You thought it could only happen in movies? Think again. The term "Hollywood Zombies" doesn’t refer to a secret midnight screening of the latest gore fest, but to certain celebrities and influencers whose decades-long ideological fixation has reanimated them into something unrecognizable.
These creatures began their transformation in the politically charged landscape of California, from the fancy neighborhoods of Beverly Hills to the sun-kissed beaches of Malibu. They claim to be woke, but in reality, it's as if their common sense has been slain, leaving them to roam mindlessly in search of cause du jours that will elevate their societal status. It's not about the 'what' of the policy, but rather the 'who' of the endorsement. If a social media surge aligns with their progressive agenda, Hollywood Zombies are there, undead hearts and outstretched arms.
Empty Virtue Signaling: These stars champion the causes of the moment from their multi-million-dollar mansions via tweetstorms that scream justice but whisper hypocrisy. Their private jets spew more carbon emissions than your average supporter's SUV commute, yet they preach environmentalism. It's like putting on a zombie mask to scare neighbors while holding a butterfly net—useless and embarrassingly see-through.
Faux Philanthropy: Celebrities like to parade their charitable deeds like badges of moral superiority but scratch the surface and you'll find their philanthropic largesse often amounts to little more than tax-deductible self-aggrandizement. The more they donate, the more they save on colossal tax bills... and coincidentally, the more visibility they gain in tabloid headlines.
Glamorous Living Illusions: These zombies endorse socialist ideas while nestling in socialist-proof bubbles. It's like Mary Shelley wrote "Frankenstein" not about a monster brought to life, but rather about out-of-touch elites creating a monster of inequality and ignorance about life outside their cul-de-sac.
Cultural Appropriation Double Standards: When some escape the scrutiny of the zombie herd, hypocrisy rules. Their self-righteous outcries against cultural appropriation echo until they get caught gyrating in traditional wear for the sake of controversy—which is always forgiven by another impassioned speech.
Cancel Culture Commanders: Wielding the cancel culture agenda as though it were a plot from the darkest of horror films, the Hollywood Zombies use social media like a scythe to mow down any speech or behavior not aligned with their viewpoint. For them, free expression is a distant echo, much like coherently judging a B-movie.
Borderline Communal Ideology: Hollywood Zombies preach a communal ideology while surrounding themselves with walls higher and steadier than any proposed across a national border. The contradiction doesn't matter; what matters is the eternal zombie trope of double standards.
Big Spreaders of Misinformation: No better than demagogues wielding smartphones, they hover over their curated stardom, and wax poetic about the dangers of misinformation, all the while spreading their own brand of hyperbole. Their tweets about impending Armageddon tear across timelines like lightning bolts over darkened tombstones.
Narcissistic Influencers: They spring forth advice on dieting, parenting, and often politics as if their celebrity imbues them with wisdom. It's as if their life experience scales with their IMDb profile page traffic, rather than genuine knowledge or lived experience.
Pretend Political Saviors: They take up political activism with fervor equaling that required to land the next big role. However, their understanding of worldly issues seldom extends beyond roles played on screen. Complicated policies are reduced to soundbite scripts, making Oscar-worthy speeches that appeal only to other members of their cast.
The Unpaid Actors of Reality: These Hollywood Zombies wear their hearts on their sleeves, but those sleeves are designer labels stitched with political platitudes. In their eyes, the more dramatic and poignant the proclamation, the further they morph into living contradictions, existing not for change but for keeping their place in the undead halls of Hollywood fame.
The Hollywood Zombies are here to stay, delighting some fans and driving others to disbelief with their paradoxical living. Once you've realized the living dead skulk among the stars, it's impossible to unsee. They'll keep marching down the Hollywood Boulevard, virtually infecting followers until the lights fade, or perhaps, sanity ultimately prevails.
