Politically Punking Hollywood

Politically Punking Hollywood

Too few artists—indeed, too few people—have the moral courage to live without the need for external validation, especially in our social media-riven age.

Iwas honored recently to be invited on the “Political Punks” podcast, joining Bret R. Smith, Lisa DePasquale, Chris Baron, and Matt Palumbo. I highly recommend the show, especially the episodes in which I do not appear.

During our discussion of the current cancel culture climate, we touched upon the rank hypocrisy of the entertainment industry. Specifically, we discussed how the Hollywood celebrities and power brokers rushing to harangue Georgia for both promoting and protecting the voting process, are the same wealthy elitists filming in genocidal communist China and kowtowing to the Beijing regime’s racist dictates erasing persons of color and pro-American messaging from films.

Madonna calls for end of due process for police officers to avoid ‘corrupt justice system’

Singer Madonna called for police officers involved in fatal shooting incidents to be stripped of their due process following the fatal police shootings of Adam Toledo and Daunte Wright.

“Adam Toledo was 13 years old, Daunte Wright was 20! The Officers who killed them are only being charged with manslaughter. This is insanity. Horrific,” she said in one Instagram post on Saturday. “And yet it has become normalized in our society.”

How celebrities became irrelevant

By overexposing the rich and famous, lockdown has robbed them of influence

“The desperation of the “Imagine” video is uncomfortable but also understandable, a response to the upheaval of celebrity culture writ large amid a global pandemic. Before 2020, the fascination with celebs was sustained by their ubiquity; there was always a new film to anticipate, a new show to check out, and the entertainment industry was the sun around which our culture and cultural discourse revolved. But with cinemas shuttered and concert venues closed, the stars were suddenly out of sight, and, increasingly, out of mind. Without the Hollywood hype machine constantly reminding us to care about what celebs were up to, it turned out that we didn’t think much about them at all.”

It’s been illuminating to witness the strident lunacy of celebrity idiots I’ll give lockdown that much credit.

“WAAAAAH!” She Explained

I have no idea who this person is. I had to look her up and I probably shouldn’t be wasting my time on her but she is exemplary of the other Meghan Markles out there for whom victimhood, not character or ability, is some sort of currency. It only makes one sound utterly morally tone-deaf.

Unless this half-calorie starlet has forded a freezing cold river in the middle of the night in order not to starve to death in a veritable concentration camp state or defied a dictatorship, I really don’t care:

“From my experience of my short 19 years, only now entering the workforce, have I realized, damn, it’s harder to be a woman,” Ramakrishnan told Yahoo Canada. “I don’t regret it, I love being a woman, but damn is it hard.”

Last year Ramakrishnan became a Global Ambassador for Plan International Canada. More recently, she was on TIME magazine’s 2021 TIME100 Next list of the next 100 most influential people in the world, with co-creator of Never Have I Ever, Mindy Kaling, saying Ramakrishnan “has an activist’s heart and wants to use her platform to help others.”

Celebrity Idiot Sean Penn mocked for ‘religious ignorance’ after he calls Satan ‘Satin’ and assumes protestants follow the Vatican

Hollywood actor and liberal activist Sean Penn was ridiculed on social media after he appeared to assume evangelical Protestants are led by the Vatican, and referred to Satan as “Satin.”

“Evangelical leaders should themselves be impeached by the Vatican if they themselves don’t follow Nikki Haley’s lead & clearly state they should not have followed Satin into the bowels of hell. But, perhaps they are too busy at sex parties,”tweeted Penn on Saturday, seemingly frustrated at the lack of evangelical leaders who have condemned former President Donald Trump since his second impeachment trial – in which, like the first, he was acquitted.
