Did Madonna, Bono and ‘radical chic’ cause a Pu**y Riot split?
Dumdonna is a "radical chic" - someone who supports a cause only because it's the "in" thing or a way to get attention. Are we suppossed to believe that the hag woke up one day and decided to support Pu**y Riot because she wanted to make a difference? Nope. Like always, she needed to leech of of people and media events that were getting more attention than her.
Why Liedonna is promoting "human rights" is because of the Russia controversy. She never talked about "human rights" until last year and during her FLOPDNA Tour.
- In response to a bunch of arty liberals inviting members of the Black Panthers to a swanky New York dinner party in the 1970s, author Tom Wolfe coined the phrase “radical chic” to describe “the adoption and promotion of radical political causes by celebrities, socialites and high society . . . an exercise in defining oneself through committed allegiance to a radical cause while demonstrating this allegiance because it is the fashionable, au courant way to be seen”.
Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alyokhina of Pu**y Riot, now on a high-profile media tour of Europe and the US, have had a good look at how the West does “radical chic” these days. Introducing the duo at a New York show, born-again radical Madonna described herself as “a freedom fighter”. That would be a freedom fighter who defends the exorbitant price of her concert tickets by blithely saying “people spend $300 all the time on things like handbags. So work all year, scrape the money together and come to my show – I’m worth it.”
