R. Douglas WeberSome people want just, to sit back and watch the world burn.
About This Quote
Saying that someone is ‘just’ is an accusation of selfishness. This accusation can be leveled at almost anyone, but it is usually aimed at politicians and celebrities. Politicians are the most common target, because they appear to be very concerned with appearances. Politically, this means that they are likely to want to appear in the press and on television.
Celebrities know that they are expected to make money, so they are also expected to make appearances. They know that publicity can increase their value, so they do what is often called ‘paparazzi stalking’.
