Roscoe Forthright’s Starship Rimshot.
**SERIOUS SHIT, MOTHERFUCKER. PLAY-TIME IS OVER.**
As much as I enjoy telling dirty stories, and helping people beat-off on Reddit… **I cannot let the deaths in Houston go by, without comment. Travis Scott and Astroworld.**
There is now a frenzy of accusation, and arm-chair, superficial explanations of cause and effect. And this will continue, and Fox News will love it, and milk it for months.
Here are some facts the media will not consider, a few actual causes which lead to suffering and death, *and have always led to suffering and death.*
1.) **A handful of people** (in this case, record labels, event promoters and their lawyers) deliberately chose to make hundreds of millions of dollars promoting mass fantasy and mass hysteria. This has nothing to do with providing “entertainment” or “music” or even “stadium-size theater”. There was a deliberate choice of a few people to create, promote and profit from carefully-planned, fantasy propaganda… directed at the most vulnerable audience, people under the age of 30. Mostly people 8 to 18 years old. The promotion in this case: the fantasy of rap, and the pseudo-culture of rap.
2.) **Fantasy charisma, like the fantasy image and personality of Travis Scott, is no accident.** It is invented for the purpose of creating an adoring, mindless audience of sheep, to be led to slaughter.
Everyone involved in the creation of the mass-fantasy and mass-hysteria is to be blamed. Even BMI, and the creators of the Grammy Awards. Both BMI and the Grammys serve to promote the money-making fantasies, and appear oblivious to foreseeable end results. When shit is promoted. The shit hits the fan. And people die. This should surprise no one. Hitler was an earlier example of deliberate use of mass-fantasy and mass-hysteria. No difference at all, in the intentions of the people making the decisions.
3.) **The creation of mass-fantasy and mass-hysteria is never an accidental by-product of “stardom” or “artistic success”** The people in charge, the ones making hundreds of millions of dollars, believe mass-fantasy and mass-hysteria **are success stories**, that is their goal. **They want mass-fantasy and mass-hysteria**, because that is exactly were the money is. They also mistakenly believe, mass-fantasy and mass-hysteria are harmless, childish behavior, which can be controlled. Clearly, everyone involved underestimated the power of mass-fantasy and mass-hysteria. **Even the people in charge never planned on dead bodies.** That is horrible. And horrible for business. They may lose their asses over this one. And that truly worries them. **That worries them more than they ever worried about children being trampled or crushed to death.**
4.) Fuck me. **Does no one see these facts clearly?** The obscene, greedy, fuck-headed invention of personalities like Travis Scott, and the pretend-youth-culture they serve…. all that, the blind creation of mass-fantasy and mass-hysteria is truly **the fault of everyone involved.** Everyone making money from those killer fantasies helped create those dead bodies. And our mass media will continue. And the mindless concerts will continue. And the brutal manipulation of minds will continue. Fuck me.
