“This is a joke right?”
My friend had just shown me a TikTok video being passed around with the #SaveBritney hashtag. A conspiracy saying Britney Spears was being held against her will by being forced into a conservatorship by her family.
A couple years ago I would have filled two shipping containers with all the foks I would not have given.
But this was 2020…
So I dove right into the rabbit hole…
I have to be honest. My relationship with Ms. Spears as an entertainer has been a rocky one. I’m not a fan of pop music and I definitely recognized her as a cookie cutter product of the Disney child star farms…
I was also like 13 years old and she was weaponized towards the youth of America as a symbol of sensuality from day one. There was only so much I could do. I unsuccesfully tried to stop myself to from developing a crush on her.
I overcorrected by being as antogonistically annoying as I could be towards the Britney fever phenomenon so imagine my surprise when I realized I had just spent hours, HOURS, trying to figure out if she was actually trying to send a coded “help me” to her audience.
Now technically the jury is stil out on whether those videos where an actual S.O.S. or not, but I would have to say that the way the whole story has been playing out really bring up the plausibility of this whole affair.
More dedicated folks than me have done an incredible job of putting together the many threads in this web, so I sincerely recommend taking a dive into their work. They have a better handle on what has happened, what is happening, and what may happen.
I wanted to pay a little homage to the cause, and do my part to help the movement, so I put this blog together. I had a moment of hesitation. Inside of me High School Good Times is losing his absolute mind. Life is funny that way.
Anyways, consider this a primer on the whole thing, and really think about what greed makes us do.
I remember hearing about the Menendez brother’s when I was younger, talking with my parents about the how and why of such an act. We concluded it must have been greed.
If envy of success or financials turned offspring against the parents, could that not be the case the other way around?
I’m just saying.
