How ISIS Became The Britney Spears of Terrorism
Pop Star Terrorism: ISIS and The New Breed of Terrorist
With slick marketing, a massive PR team, and enough money to rival celebrities and big corporations, ISIS has become the terrorist equivalent of such mega mass media personalities and conglomerations as Britney Spears, Inc or K-Mart. Don’t want to believe it? Well, just think about it. Most people know that the celebrity system is just that – a system. Once you reach, say, a Beyonce or Madonna “level”, you are no longer a human being, you are a corporation, a well-oiled machine. Behind you and behind the scenes, hundreds, sometimes thousands of people are working as hard as they can to make you, the star, look and be as perfect as can be. You are a cash cow and these people rely on your success. And how, you may ask, does this have anything to do with ISIS? Well, a lot, actually, and that may or may not be a good thing.
In this day and age, we have grown accustomed to living (for the most part) a decent existence (you are reading this on a computer presumably using the internet, yes?) where terrorists are shaggy looking, angry, dirty men with torn clothes and unwashed hair who live in caves and small villages in war-ravaged lands millions of miles away. We live our lives, go to our jobs, and come home to watch the war go on “over there” on the news, the experience not much different from watching a horror movie. The terrorists we have become accustomed to are crazy tyrants, religious fanatics, or power hungry people fighting against nations much bigger than them. Until now.
