re: #185 Dr. Matt

BINGO. She is literally unemployable now and her only way to make income is OF and/or a right-wing gifter.

Given what she was doing before, I would seriously venture that this isn’t her being forced into a career path, but a direct continuation of how tradwife and “pretty white women is performatively reactionary for a social media audience” content is an economic niche.

Not to get all philosophical but what we’re watching is the economization of the hyperreal: “hot reactionary woman willing to subject herself” is a simulacrum that shaves away all the complexity and reality of the thing it claims to represent…entirely intentionally, much like porn is hyperreal in how it presents the initiation and process of sex in a kind of “all the good bits, no awkward or disturbing detail” way.

Also, with conservatism there is a standard arc of turning ugly gaffes into celebrity that pre-existed social media, but now that you can basically make your own heat through virality.
