The wealth accumulated by media figures that make crude, violent, disgusting or repulsive content before they switch to a "softer" side and try to redeem themselves and all of the social flotsam they've helped create. Examples include Arnold Schwarzenegger, PewDiePie, Sarah Silverman, and The Weeknd.
Viewer: "Did all that cultural blood money go into funding your podcast?"

Political Culture Shock

A social situation that arises when an individual moves to a new location they have not previously lived in and finds that the political climate from where they previously lived and the political culture of the new area they moved into are completely different from each other. Some issues that accompany this situation include anxiety, discomfort, identity conflicts, homesickness, confusion, frustration, anger, language barriers, generational differences in terms of views on various political topics, and differences in terms of where, when, and how people in that area think about and discuss politics.
Kailani: What’s wrong with that guy in corner? He seemed to be very anxious when I was speaking to him about politics and does not seem to be very mindful of his tone when speaking about his views.

Sarah: I think he moved here three to four weeks ago; he is probably suffering from political culture shock. He is probably struggling to get used to the political climate around, which it may take him a while to get used to it.

Kailani: I see.

Cultural Appropriation

When non oppressed groups of people (primarily white folk) adopt key cultural “taboo” trademarks from POC and intentionally/unintentionally make them hip, trendy, and acceptable.
So when Taylor (who is black) put her hair in cornrows she was ghetto but now that Tina’s (who is white) hair is in cornrows, cornrows are now trendy?

Yes.

Why?
