Social Critique of The Entertainment Industry And Its Fantastical Delusion
Diddy, Weinstein, and the like: The entertainment industry is being criticized for promoting a fantastical delusion. Diddy and The American Dream are seen as symbols of the patriarchal American Dream, which is believed to be based on lies. According to Shahid Bolsen, the creator of the Middle Nation Channel, everything that is said to be necessary to achieve the American dream is a lie, and this in itself is considered corruption.

The entertainment industry is being criticized for promoting a fantastical delusion. Diddy and The American Dream are seen as symbols of the patriarchal American Dream, which is believed to be based on lies. According to Shahid Bolsen, the creator of the Middle Nation Channel, everything that is said to be necessary to achieve the American dream is a lie, and this in itself is considered corruption.
Depraved figures like Diddy, Weinstein, and Jeffery Epstein, along with lesser-known individuals in communities everywhere, shamelessly exploit creativity, offering a disturbing glimpse into their lives. Shahid holds up the mirror to America. “Whenever you hear someone defending these actions, it's likely because they either desire that life or have lived it themselves —predator.”
This has got to be one of the most truthful social critiques of the entertainment industry as 'The Fantastical Delusion' of the American dream. For most of these people, the real goal when they want to attain wealth "...is to be degenerate.”#Metropolitan Detention Center | #Brooklyn | #Inmate Number: 37452-054

Saturday 27 April 2024, from 5pm till 8pm, Liverpool's finest chefs go head-to-head to compete for the coveted title of the city's best homemade jollof rice
I'm sure you've heard about the Nigerian/Ghanaian jollof battle. Well, we let the amateurs make all the noise. However, they know where to get the best Jollof.
Jollof rice is an incredibly popular West African dish made with rice, tomatoes, onions, a variety of hot peppers, and a unique selection of spices. It is prepared differently across the region, with Nigerians, Ghanaians, Liberians, Senegalese, Cameroonians, and Sierra Leoneans having all developed their unique and delicious versions of this dish.
The debate over which version of jollof rice is superior is often passionate and sometimes deadly serious. Each country strongly believes its version is the best and most authentic, leaving little room for doubt.
As part of the 2024 Motherland African Festival, Australia celebrates the many flavors of Africa with a jollof rice cooking competition, and the winner takes home $1,000 (one thousand dollars).
This was a competition for the ultimate culinary crown, with a variety of flavors and techniques on display.
Hands-down! Rebecca Grace Foray, a young Sierra Leonean, was announced the highly coveted award for the most delicious Jollof Rice in the 2024 Best Jollof Rice competition.
The mayor of Liverpool City Council, Mayor Ned Mannoun, presented the award.
However you make it, this West African dish of rice, tomatoes, lots of peppers, and lots of spice is an excellent centerpiece for Sunday dinner.
The Motherland African Festival was an amazing experience for foodies!
The festival brought delicious flavors from Sudan, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Ethiopia, and more that were available at the Macquarie Mall. Mukimo, chargrilled plates, fufu - I can only imagine how tantalizing they must have been!
