Hannah is businesswoman and content creator. Nara is a model and content creator. They make money from cooking from scratch on camera. They don't do it all the time. Hannah literally said she doesn't cook from scratch every meal or daily, mainly when she posts.
The Mormon church has billions. Only the Catholic Church outearns them. And there are exponentially more Catholics on the earth so let that sink in… Just a week ago, an article came out detailing how they’re building a new 20000 sq.ft. temple in my city now 😐 the proselytism is about to be crazy.
Happened to me but I broke away. I still have my babies but they are with their dad half the time and I have weekends (even though i work most of them) to just be myself. I am quite depressed but trying to enjoy life. I was pro life until I realized how many women have the same fate I did.
I don't think trad wife is what we can use to describe them as. They make a lot of money. They are businesswomen and the more young women see that, they'll make better informed decisions.
Prior to the French Revolution, it was a trend of wealthy women in 18th century France to dress up as milkmaids and play around a farm on their property. Notoriously among these women was Marie Antoinette, who herself was not a horrible women she was just completely unaware of how poor the conditions of peasants were outside the walls of Versailles and she is actually considered to have been remarkably kind having adopted orphans, children who weren’t able to be taken care of by their poverty stricken parents and an enslaved boy from Senegal who she “freed” from slavery and sent to Boarding school (she was of her time of course but she was unfortunately a bit of an airhead about a lot of things because her mother deliberately didn’t educate her in spite of the fact she herself had been undereducated about government when she ascended the Austria throne as queen). It’s all giving pre-revolutionary France and I have to wonder if the circumstances that brought about both of these trends has any similarity. I don’t think there’s anything revolutionary in the air at all because the philosophical discourse that allowed the revolution to occur took decades upon decades, the obvious similarity is economic difficulties (although bread is obviously still affordable). But one of the biggest things which separates this trend of the 2020s from that trend of the 1780s is whose watching, because when girls were pretending to be milkmaids in the 1780’s poories like us (I don’t care if you’re middle class or lower class, as long as you aren’t on their balconies they’re spitting at you from them) weren’t watching them pretend to be poor unless they worked on these women’s estates. The internet and the mode of economic production changes everything about this trend because it’s being marketed at us, I hate to bring Karl Marx (I’m on the fence about the red C word, but I think that regardless of that socialists at least generally have a point) into this but think that understanding the mode of production allows for a better understanding of what differentiates that trend from this one at their cores. Under feudalism peasants owned their land and worked on their feudal lords land to pay off the cost of owning that land, the tools they used to farm, taxes and military service, think something similar to Sharecropping in the south but moderately less evil but still evil. Everything was made to be used directly, food was farmed to be eaten not to be sold and while there were local markets or fairs where things were sold sometimes there was not a “free market”. Commodities under capitalism aren’t produced to be used they’re produced to be sold, that’s why a company doesn’t care about the quality of their products they care about the quality of their revenue. The internet as an avenue of media consumption and I think looking at social media as a media market is very useful for understanding how we’re engaging with the media we consume, because these people are selling people a fantasy of their lifestyle. Because it’s being sold to us I think that’s why it has a deliberate emphasis on wealth underlying it, these are people who can say they made it and fulfilled the American dream while embodying conservative archetypes of ideal lives and they’re selling it to people who don’t and can’t because there are barriers to their social climbing but also because you only desire things you don’t have. Tiktok is also just the perfect playground for desire because desire desires to continues to desire, anticipation is what desire wants not obtaining (at least according to Lacan but I’ll buy into it). There are two things I’m very interested in about this, firstly isn’t this very voyeuristic. I think certain types of reality tv are voyeuristic as well, but this view we have of Nara Smith and all trad wives is voyeuristic. They are the nucleus of a life that they’re selling, her hot semi-Christian model husband, wealth, children, house and aesthetic are all like the rings of Saturn orbiting around the apparatus of the life she’s constructed to feed into the fantasies of the poor people she’s selling it to. These aren’t innocuous things that exist, they’re things she HAS/that she possesses, and because she’s at the center of all of them and we watch her as the nucleus we’re being encouraged to identify with her because these are things that we presumably want. Part of the reason why there’s so much criticism surrounding Nara and why she’s the center of all criticism that surrounds her life, even to the point that Lucky Blue is being criticized with emphasis being paid directly to his relation to Nara, is that she is the nucleus of the content she sells but I don’t think it’s the only reason. I want to ask to what degree our criticism, or the hatred some people have for her, is repressed envy for her economic status that we deliberately don’t acknowledge and redirect into criticism of the price she had to pay to get what she has. And this isn’t even engaging with how like her videos their lives actually are like, what if they’re just “regular” people (behaviorally, because with that wealth you are not a regular person anymore). I also want to emphasize that a key difference between the aristocracy of france and the internet celebrities of tiktok is that french women didn't know the lower classed couldn't afford bread and Nara smith has seen videos of Palestinian children being bombed. The same way that we can see these lives through the internet, they can see the lives which are affected by them hoarding wealth. morally these groups are not in the same category in the least, we can deduce that the french women would probably predominantly be complicit but we haven't seen them in this position. What I don’t have an answer to is the core similarity that made both of these trends rise, maybe there isn’t one but I feel like there’s something I’m just not hitting on with this.
This was a sad way for ballerina maid to simulate an autonomous and healthy marriage through association. Ballerina maid is gaslighting only herself. She is a reverse cinderella story, period, point blank. As said before, Nara is a business woman, with a husband that looks like Jude Law. No comparison to plane stalker hubby turned hand-on farmer (with 30 people helping him).
I like them both, they seem sweet and down to earth and happy. Plus I love trying their recipes. I don’t know why they get hate, seems people should mind their business and stop getting triggered by mothers who choose to live their lives the way they want. As long as they’re all healthy and happy and nobody is getting hurt I don’t understand peoples issues with them.
You can’t really say “mind your business” when they post their content for millions of people to watch, comment, etc. I do agree to let the women do as they please.
@@shaleiyajohnson612 American pride, right wing, Fourth of July, guns trucks etc etc. when I think of the American flag I think of right wing conservatives 🤷🏽♀️. Traditional American values, nuclear family etc etc. Bit of a mind vomit but that’s what comes to mind
