Occupy Hollywood!

Occupy Hollywood! Take a long look at the robber barons you are NEVER instructed to hate. “If you hate rich people, harbor a conviction they avoid ‘paying their fair share’ through shady accounting tricks, and deeply resent the way your wallet is being emptied through price gouging, then it’s time for you to Occupy Hollywood. Bonus: it’s lovely this time of year.”

  • Hollyweird keeps putting out the worst crap and they pat themselves on the back and give each other awards for institutional mediocrity. As a result, people that never quit playing make believe, are making millions of dollars that they hide in offshore accounts, while telling us that we need to pay more taxes so that we can support the illegals and recipient class.
    As far as I'm concerned, they can take Hollyweird and level it, making it into a parking lot. At least then it will serve an actual useful purpose. Then all those actors can either retire or become valets in the new parking lot.

    • I haven't been to a movie theater in 20 years. Last movie I went to see was JFK with Kevin Costner (1991).

  • The last movie I went to was "The Worlds Fastest Indian" and it will probably be the last I ever go to, there are a few decent actors and actress's but most of them I have ZERO respect for.

  • Screw Hollywood. Most of it is worthless & has little to offer in the way of socially redeeming value.

  • The hypocrisy in the left is insane, and what's even more insane is that none of the liberal zombies seem to care. I guess it's fitting that a big fatass that's made millions telling people they need to make less money is one of the most prominent figures of the left.

    • It's hypocrisy only from our viewpoint. Because people on our side tend toward principle. We say what we mean, what we really think. But it is wrong to assume the same principles exist in the left.

      I don't believe they are hypocrites. Liars, yes, but not hypocrites.

      And the lie is that their resentment is about money or some vague notions of "fair shares". Their resentment is about being productive, plain and simple. They hate people who produce something and then exchange their products/services/abilities with willing customers. All other justifications for their resentment are lies.

      They'll p ss and moan about envirionment, or health. And no matter how much you prove that the trade-off, i.e., not having some new invention, would make health, safety, the environment worse, they don't care. They are still against it.

      They have no problem with Hollywood or sports because they don't really produce anything (technically, entertainment is a service, but it's not really an essential one). They embrace Soros, who made billions basically betting (along with some influence here and there to hedge his bets), on currencies. IF EVER there was a poster boy to support marxism, it is Soros - make billions while producing absolutely nothing for the human race.

      It's called being a luddite.

      And that is truly insane.
