I disagree. “We are the world” didn’t demonize anyone, unlike this video (apparently, I refuse to watch it).

No it didn’t demonize anyone, my point was that celebrities are notorious for jumping on virtue-signaling bandwagons, and jumping back off of them as soon as the cause becomes passé (which won’t happen with the purple mafia cause, they have enough economic and social power to ensure that).

Just like George Harrison’s “Concert For Bangladesh” wound up with almost none of the money going to the actual people in need in Bangladesh (but that wasn’t really his fault, other than him not doing his homework, and Allen Klein stealing a good chunk, the record companies insisting on their share, and the UK and US governments refusing to recognize the event as charitable, therefore taxing what was left).
