The Hollywood actor is a prominent donor to the Democratic Party in the United States. In recent years, that has regularly led to criticism from President Trump, who has called him a “second-rate movie star,” among other things. According to Clooney, it didn’t bother him much. “It’s not my job to keep the President of the United States happy.”
Lemmy in a fucking nutshell: Fuck these rich people!
Also lemmy, missed the entire fucking point.
People who are “actor rich” aren’t the problem. AFAIK Clooney hasn’t done anything particularly immoral, he just played in some movies and got paid well.
You should be mad about the amoral corporations that are ruining the world, and the sociopaths that control them.
Fuck these rich people and fuck America.
That better for ya?
Lemmy is ambivalent about this comment but it’s right. We can hold both positions, that rich people’s privilege is irritating, but that also living in the US is hard and many of us would greatly appreciate the privilege. There’s a word for this I think… actually comes to us via French. Jealousy.
