He's been a POS for a long time. Guy's band made phenomenal music for about 15 years, and now he's seen as some sort of deity that also knows a lot about politics.
Worshipping celebrities is another sign that the Western world is incapable of critical thinking.
Just so. Perhaps even allergic to critical thinking, so that celebrity worship is gut-sensed as a soothing ointment into which to retreat whenever convenient. Truly a signature of societal attrition.

BTW, 'worshipping celebrities' is global - all modern cultures and all nations do it - in fact, if you read history, there is nothing new about 'worshipping celebrities' - humans have done this since time immemorial - it is an outcome of human evolution and psychology. Nothing specifically 'Western' about it. And if you'ld like to talk about critical thinking, it makes more sense to point to the 'halo effect' cognitve bias or 'argument from authority' fallacy. Again, there is nothing specifically WESTERN about this.

What happened to Bob Geldof?
Good question, Jenny. Far as I know, he became a "businessman". Sold out, I suppose. Don't 90% of 'em when the almighty shekel calls?
You'd think they'd have enough money not to have to dance to anyone else's tune, but it seems I'd be wrong.
I would hate to think of this with regard to Bob Geldof. Maybe he is sick?
SO why exactly are we calling on CELEBRITIES to make statements.????
They all need MONEY/Contracts to the Zionist 'musicmakers' who run the world!

Wow, thanks Dr. Semantics.
And now you can, I'm sure, show proof that Westerners don't worship silly, vapid celebrities any more than more traditional countries.
Nothing to do with semantics, more to do with data analysis.
Have you looked at how K-Pop stars are worshipped in South Korea?
Have you looked at how Indian Bollywood celebrities are treated as Gods?
The examples are countless...
