Planned Obsolescence (I Blame the Kardashians)

The days of the WASP-dominated media created American may be over.
Sure, they still run things,
but to them - they're slowly being replaced.

And to a point, they are correct.
Gone are the days of the (mostly) virtuous, disciplined, strong-willed leaders.
They've been replaced by thin-skinned, languid and feckless imitators of manhood.
They've been replaced by those who see themselves as victims.

To them, they are being replaced by people who look and act nothing like them.

I blame the Kardashians.

The Kardashian women range from young and thin to mature and thick.
But they're all rich and represent the social exceptionalism most Americans once strived to obtain.
They live the lifestyle most Americans used to aspire to.
For many, they helped to redefine what is considered 'attractive' in America.
And a Kardashian/Jenner woman with a white guy is about as common as a sensible Trump minion.

Even the family's men have deviated from their social programming.
Robert Kardashian helped get a Black man acquitted of killing a blonde white woman.
Jr. knocked-up a sista'.
And Bruce became 'Caitlyn'.

The world is a-changing and it's all the Kardashian's fault.

So does it add anything to note that not only are the Kardashian's are not only living the lifestyle America aspires too, but that all of the children have surpassed the parent's "success" without any traditional "work" or a traditional skillset?


Though we could say Kim kicked this whole thing off with the oldest skillset there is.
