Piper Rockelle is human civilization rot. The child star turned slut-for-bucks epitomizes how the social media age has curdled childhood, taste and ethics. It’s an ugly story, and one that I was blissfully unaware of until recently.
Piper, 18, has been performing for money since she started winning kiddie beauty pageants—a dubious “ick or ethics” activity itself—from about the age of three. Her mother began uploading clips of her prancing around to YouTube when Piper was 8. The mother, a stage mother from Hell (and hopefully destined to end up there) moved her budding meal-ticket to LA when the girl was 10, “homeschooling” her (it is anyone’s guess how much of the schooling involved actual education) while selling her daughter’s images online. Next, Mom began recruiting “the Squad”, a group of other preteen children to exploit with Piper as the leader. First they were filmed doing darling little girl things until they were transitioned to tween “crush content”: scripted reality show-style drama with episodes about infatuation, coming of age, teenage angst, first kisses and dating.
Piper Rockelle became the most famous online “kidfluencer.” Her tween and teen content was popular and lucrative on YouTube, and Piper built a fan base of millions of bored low-lifes and budding pedophiles on TikTok and Instagram. Then, in 2022, eleven members of the Squad sued Rockelle’s mother Tiffany Smith, and her boyfriend and business partner, Hunter Hill, alleging abuse and exploitation. TheirYouTube channel was demonetised, costing Piper and her mom hundreds of thousands in lost dollars every month.

According to Google’s AI Overview the average income of OF influencers is 150-180 USD per month, while about half of the OF influencers earn less than 100 USD per month. Only a small percentage. Top 1% of OF creators earn about $49,000 annually. Only a small group of OF creators rake in the millions.

When I studied (unofficially) the Bhagavad Gita at the recommendation of René Guénon (who has a big influence on the Dissident Right) I came across a very interesting assertion: If you corrupt your women, if women become corrupted, you very quickly destroy the very core of family-life and, by extension, your culture and civilization.
My comment here is somewhat related to my recent conflicts with Humble Talent, and yes, I know I am in trouble here for thinking and saying controversial things, but my assertion is pretty simple, pretty intuitive: Things are a mess, and will not improve, because cultural leaders let their guard down, and allowed corruption (which centers around sexuality because of that issue of “concupiscence”. (Lust, perverted desire, which is far more wide in consequence than mere sexual immorality).
I was thinking this: Really, in an honest and upright society, when the deviants and sickos came down the street at the “Pride” event, that the men of the culture would show up with baseball bats and beat them back. They would say “You cannot ever do this again, and if you show yourself on the streets in your perverted regalia in front of my child, you will pay dearly!”
But they do not of course. Because they have become perverted. And such an act is frowned on, seen as retrogressive.
Similarly, if you allow your girls (!) to become sluts, to revel in it, and to earn money, you are committing a veritable crime. I was thinking of women in advertising. The image of a woman holding grain (I am thinking of De Cecco pasta wrapper!) is in fact the image of Demeter and all sacred portrayals of goddesses. They are images of bounty, fruitfulness, fertility and all that. There is nothing wrong with that.
When you allow the deviants out of their closets, they naturally take and assume power in your culture. And in “democracy” that has list its grounding (in morals) the perversion spreads. Nothing you can do about it.
More succinctly.
Power abhors a vaccum.
The allowing of the deviants to creep into power on the basis of rights exposes that the basis for denying them access to power was indefensible. As has been pointed out here before(i think?), a law banning a behavior on the sole basis of morality is unethical. But using baseball bats to drive back the deviants is vigilante. So, if we can’t have baseball bats and laws to regulate deviance on the basis of morality because this violates rights, how can deviance be suppressed? We can’t even have a bible verse on a baseball cap that offends the people who prefer sexuality that contradicts objective form and function.
Baseball bats hurt. But like falling on the ground, effective.

My understanding (about your final question) is that it cannot. Once things have got to a certain point, once the “deviance” has become established, there is nothing one can do because it all must proceed to its ends. The option for an individual though is wide open, but you cannot have much effect on the outer world. You can only shelter yourself from it, and try to do the same on behalfs of your children. But if you do not have “protective knowledge” you are in a bad way: the forces will reach you, and they will pull you into their current. It is a sad state of things (because the notion of “metaphorical consequences” is no longer believed in)(saludos HT).
Isaiah Berlin gave some very interesting talks on Liberalism. He’s a wonderful man and a great speaker. The ideal is a “liberal society” with tremendous toleration. But … but! … when things get to a certain point that liberal model cannot constrain what we are talking about with those words: perversion, decadence, deviance.
Pretty excellent comment. I have three additional thoughts.
First, men have generally acted like pigs (I know because I am a man) and it was the women – through the constructs of relationship, marriage, and family – that helped to restrain men and forced them to think beyond their dicks. But when women decided to act like pigs,…yeah, basically a rephrase of what you wrote.
Second, what our culure is doing is eerily similar to what the apostle Paul wrote about in chapter 1 of the Bible’s book of Romans, particularly the second half of it.
Third, the Scriptures offer a possible cure in 2 Chronicles 7:14. Whether this nation is too advanced in its condition to be cured can be debated.
“First, men have generally acted like pigs”
Men Are Pigs, yet
Women Are Equal To Men…

Touche, Paul!
I believe her name is actually Piper Rockelle.
It is, and I caught the mistake everywhere but the headline and the first sentence. She can’t even spell her name right….
She was also earning $5,000,000 a year by 14 years old from her online content. So many would be jealous.
She and her mother figured out how to monetize moral, ethical, sexual and intellectual rot in the culture and society. That’s nothing to envy. I don’t envy the wealth of drug cartels either.
Her early TikTok videos from around 2020 was simply about a girl having fun.
I’m with Alizia on this one. The women’s movement which was supposed to promote educational and career opportunities for us, also encouraged us to deny Victorian morality and become more like men – players. And of course the baby boomer mantra love, sex, rock and roll was supposed to be liberating and empowering. I suppose I’m very old school, but giving yourself away to anyone and everyone at the drop of a hat (or acid) isn’t liberating, it is diminishing.
You don’t even have to believe in a religion to understand that we need to protect ourselves. Nature is very clear on this: without powerful antibiotics and birth control methods, unbridled sexuality, aka promiscuity leads to some pretty serious consequences. It is supposed to.
Intimacy is profound, it is bonding, it is some of God’s best work. That our culture has monetized sex in every way imaginable, and has become so infiltrated with indecency – it’s demoralizing.
As an atheist, I agree that casual sex is a bad habit. The biological risks are one thing, but the strong emotions involved, such as desire and attachment, are another important factor. Those emotions often lead people to make bad decisions unless handled with discipline and respect for oneself and others.
I only realized why repressive dogma appeals to many societies when I realized that I saw some of the same problems they saw with sexual decadence. They just choose to avoid those problems by making tradeoffs that I consider less than constructive, and that people in more socially liberal societies are more afraid of than the consequences of decadence.
We don’t need to argue about whether decadence or dogma is the superior form of stagnation, though. We just need cultures that encourages us to challenge ourselves, to develop constructive habits so that we don’t need rigid belief systems or social rules to avoid succumbing to hedonism and addiction.
Although the baseball bat action is probably a felony …
