Wrong. Celebrities are adored and worshipped by society, especially by youth. Are they all dictators? No, and if you allow yourself to be dictated or influenced by them, more fool you.

Check out his propaganda: “A person shouldn’t believe in an -ism. He should believe in himself.” Yuck.
That's not propaganda, that's a life philosophy. And who the hell writes 'Yuck' in an essay? You're trying way too hard!
