Part of becoming an adult has been realizing nearly every celebrity is a horrible person
comedians in particular are awful people
The more famous the comedian, the more they reflect mainstream ideology. Look no further than the popular comedian of the moment to understand where the public mindset is. I wouldn’t be surprised if we get more Jeff-Dunham-racist-puppet acts soon.

A horrible system promotes horrible people to its top.
Some of them are good. Wallace Shawn and Danny DeVito have good politics, and Steve Buscemi was a volunteer firefighter who responded to 9/11. So the short and ugly ones maybe. Got that hobbit energy.
Danny DeVito having good politics is both heartwarming and hilarious.
So the short and ugly ones maybe.
oh that’s why I have good politics
Tim Heidecker seems like a good egg. Mark Ruffalo seems ok as well.
Also weirdly Seth MacFarlane seems ok politically even though his shows are full of racism and transphobia and etc
Re: Seth MacFarlane. I’m sure his animated stuff fits that bill, but “The Orville” is a super progressive show. Last season featured an episode involving gender dysmorphia and essentially trans-rights (in space of course) that was wonderfully done.
Yeah The Orville is surprisingly good and the third season is basically like a a space war for trans rights
It also had a direct comparison of the soviets to the nazis with that, this is just like the molotov ribbentrop, line. MacFarlane probably didn’t write it, but his character said it and its his show. I’d love to know what the hell he was thinking on that one.
Liberals are allergic to facts
I don’t remember where but I read Mark Ruffalo’s brother was killed by the CIA and I choose to believe that
Part of this realization goes in hand with the recognition that, overwhelmingly, nearly anyone who is anyone in media is related to someone rich and powerful.
I don’t even mean kids of movie stars or record producers cause that’s just the standard nepotism everyone knows about. I mean like a ton of famous people are at most one familial step removed from an influential political actor or business magnate who helped fund their career pursuit in some fashion. There’s definitely exceptions and you can find some with good politics regardless but it’s pretty wild to realize how much of our media is created by rich failsons.
Yeah this has been a realization too. Nearly everyone famous is some rich person’s nephew or daughter. It’s all a big country club.
🥺
Nearly!
Nearly
Will you sign my post?
Only if I get more big, annoying emojis of myself on Hexbear.
It’s like politics or ‘journalists’ here, there’s a filter to get to the top.
Holy shit her Instagram is a fucking dumpster fire
Ive got quite a few non religious and non political Jewish friends really freaking out. All having horrible takes
Well she’s strongly supports total civilian disarmament, so support for genocide tracks.
civilians shouldn’t have guns period. anywhere.
except people that need them for actual non-murder reasons (farming, sport, hunting etc).
you don’t need a gun designed to kill people
You should have guns to shoot and kill cops and nazis. But I agree with you that those are not people.
Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.
Why should guns be monopolized by a state that is not controlled by those civilians? Seems like a system of oppression 2 me.
wrong take
Communists do not fight for personal military power (they must in no circumstances do that, and let no one ever again follow the example of Zhang Guotao), but they must fight for military power for the Party, for military power for the people. As a national war of resistance is going on, we must also fight for military power for the nation. Where there is naivete on the question of military power, nothing whatsoever can be achieved. It is very difficult for the labouring people, who have been deceived and intimidated by the reactionary ruling classes for thousands of years, to awaken to the importance of having guns in their own hands. Now that Japanese imperialist oppression and the nation-wide resistance to it have pushed our labouring people into the arena of war, Communists should prove themselves the most politically conscious leaders in this war. Every Communist must grasp the truth, “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party. Yet, having guns, we can create Party organizations, as witness the powerful Party organizations which the Eighth Route Army has created in northern China. We can also create cadres, create schools, create culture, create mass movements. Everything in Yenan has been created by having guns. All things grow out of the barrel of a gun. According to the Marxist theory of the state, the army is the chief component of state power. Whoever wants to seize and retain state power must have a strong army. Some people ridicule us as advocates of the “omnipotence of war”. Yes, we are advocates of the omnipotence of revolutionary war; that is good, not bad, it is Marxist. The guns of the Russian Communist Party created socialism. We shall create a democratic republic. Experience in the class struggle in the era of imperialism teaches us that it is only by the power of the gun that the working class and the labouring masses can defeat the armed bourgeoisie and landlords; in this sense we may say that only with guns can the whole world be transformed. We are advocates of the abolition of war, we do not want war; but war can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun.

Not every day I don’t. My kids also don’t need me to have life insurance, and I don’t need a homeowners policy with protection against fires because my house is built to code.
Being armed is an insurance policy against things you maybe have read about but cannot imagine. 30 days of no electricity and no running water after a solar event for example would break any social contacts all your assumptions about society are founded on. And in case of political extremism making it to public policy, No you will not survive a battle against a standing army, but when they’re stacking up to drag you out to execute you for being an intellectual or the dozens of things governments executed people en masse for just in the last few generations, nobody wants to be the first one shot for a thing they don’t really truly believe in, and getting enough people to commit genocide is essentially impossible until you’ve disarmed everyone who is not part of the government.
Now convince me these things did not all happen in the last 100 years and would never happen here.
AOC is voting lockstep with the rest of the Democratic ghouls and she’s still catching strays, lmao
This is you become a communist. The opponents think you’re that anyway. Might as well become one.
I’ve made this argument a lot but people really cling to the idea of being respectable. It’s like if you’re one inch to the left of Bill Clinton they are going to call you a left wing extremist (and if you’re any kind of Dem the Reps will call you that anyway), might as well shoot for the moon.
You assumed that Democrats have any sort of affinity towards communist ideas to begin with. If anything, they hate communism more than they hate fascism, and being called a “communist” by their GOP opponents is truly hurtful for them.
Exactly, just like how people always accuse conservatives of being racist - wait, oh fuck, no
(This is literally never how you become a communist, this could however potentially be how an edgelord teen briefly might identify as being a communist)
“My identity is not your aesthetic,” etc, lol
The wages of a coward
She’s right. Israel doesn’t need to supply those resources. Palestine should be administering those resources to themselves, but they cannot because a foreign occupying force is blockading them. This is no different than Anglos thinking they’re nice because they provide their slaves with rationed water for free
If this was posted by her, I’m severely disappointed.
You should have a celebrity who won’t disappoint you.
I WAS pretty great in that thing, right?
You expected better from the black face girl?
this is just another one of her bits where Sarah says one of the most offensive things possible right
Hamas has never had “billions” at all, let alone to spend just on terrorism.
Cringe 🤢

theres been a lot of this rhetoric as if palestine is a separate state entirely. A lot of people like sarah silverman here making some bold claims that palestinians could supply their own food and water if they werent so insistent on doing terrorism instead. A lot of people claiming that israel was attacked by foreign terrorists. Have they been tacitly admitting that there ought to be two state solution and that israel is illegally encroaching on a foreign states territory? Obviously not, these are liberal hypocrites after all. Unbothered by facts and consistency they just say what feels right to make their point.
What we have now is a state and a half solution. Palestine is enough of a state to absolve the zionist entity of all responsibility for living conditions and economic development but no where near state-like enough to control it’s own borders, its own tax systems, its own infrastructure, it’s own military, it’s own foreign trade etc. Palestine is left with all of the obligations of a state and given none of the tools necessary to fulfill them.
It’s more of a final solution
You know who also needs food and water? Hostages. I wonder who will be prioritized as the entire city’s remaining supplies dwindle? Probably not them. Also, isn’t it a bit risky to be bombing the hell out of a city when you don’t even know where said hostages could be? These people don’t even care for the lives of the hostages, and actively crave the blood of Palestinians.
Yeah they’re trying to flatten Gaza hostages be damned. The hostages are simply a pretense to doing what they were already dying to do
Israel has a long standing internal policy of immediately considering all hostages dead to the point where IDF snipers are instructed to dome anyone they see getting captured or surrendering, meanwhile they simultaneously never shut the fuck up about how much more they value life than those godless savage animals they are forced to live near
