After seeing the fame-inquiry Woody Allen film Celebrity, I realized how symbolic it was in this modern age of media to create 'culture-hyperbole storytelling.'
Will such 'folklore' lead us to a political colosseum or hell?

A young college student enjoying an episode of the American TV program Modern Family realized that media and entertainment, reaching so many people and offering multiple ideas about varying subjects/emotions, were being transformed into social dialogue in this new age of Facebook and Hollywood. He decided to post on World Discussion Forum: "I challenge American citizens from all walks of life (celebrities, bureaucrats, soldiers, artists, politicians) to offer up their own unique vantage point regarding the stimulation of democracy and confluence in this new age of networking-gauged traffic (e.g., Facebook) and economics-based politics (e.g., European Union)." Well, many people read his post and reacted.
Among those affected by the incendiary post was the American movie star Tom Cruise and an idealistic Internet-blogger and self-proclaimed 'Internet vigilante' named Ajay Satan. Cruise pondered how many stars of Hollywood might be interested in the post, people with political interests (e.g., Arnold Schwarzenegger, Leo DiCaprio, Michael Douglas, etc.). Ajay pondered how many citizens would feel motivated to 'do more' and participate more in American culture/politics after reading the post (e.g., NAACP members, college professors, eco-activists, etc.). Cruise and Ajay were correct; the post prompted many people to do 'little private things' to contribute to the dialogue regarding democracy and capitalism.
There were two 'undergound' camps (comprised of people who responded to the World Discussion Forum post) formed: the pro-capitalists were called G.I. Joes and the pro-socialists were called Cobra (in reference to the American paramilitary fantasy-adventure franchise of the same name [G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero] by the toy company Hasbro). The G.I. Joes (which included Tom Cruise) believed America thrived on intellectual freedoms and economic liberties. Cobra (which included white supremacist David Duke) believed America craved more 'drama' from intellectually incendiary ideas regarding the pragmatism of martial law, communism, and even atheism. G.I. Joe and Cobra were at odds with each other and decided to engage in various debates on the Internet and offer up politically-charged comments in the media.
Tom Cruise was the outspoken leader of the entire 'movement.' He not only made dozens of comments to newsies such as, "This great 'Media War' will be won by those devoted to free-speech and the defense of commerce!", but he also was the one willing to criticize any failure among the G.I. Joe 'squad' to express ideas defending American liberty while not compromising a general love of free-speech. Cruise was given the nickname 'Duke' (the same name of the leader of the fictional G.I. Joe 'army' from the Hasbro franchise comic books and movies), since he accurately pointed-out that the purest defense of democracy is the protection of free speech and the demonization of censorship. Since it was so ironic that a wealthy movie star would suddenly be an outspoken advocate of democracy, the Trump Administration honored Duke/Cruise by giving him the mission of helping race-politics supportive media-personality Oprah Winfrey plan a presidential campaign in 2020 (to 'stimulate' the race-invested Republican Party). Cruise was elated and said, "Once again, America honors me!"
