Hollywoods Hypocrisy

From #metoo to Climate change. Were going to take a look at how jaded and different Hollywood is to real life. 1rishpher0 Follow Dec 21, 2020 · 6 min read

I want to previse I have no obligation to people sharing their opinions. It’s what Social media was created for, it’s a reason I created this video (or podcast if your listening through that a shout out to you). I have no problem with celebrities wearing black if they think it’s a protest. I have no problem with freedom. If they want to show the public they believe in something go right ahead. I believe in freedom for everyone, almost no matter what.

A lot of you must be wondering why I cared to write this as I don’t care about Hollywood or celeb life or anything like that in general. Well.

With all that being said let’s get right into it…

Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein and the mee-too movement.

From the Golden Globes

This is not about the me-too movement. If you have been abused, harassed or the R-word then come forward. I‘ll have a whole other video on that sometime in the future. I want to focus on the hypocrisy of Hollywood and its relation to the movement.

Hollywood pretends to be the saviour of the movement and of a lot of other things. ‘We're all wearing black to an event that Harvey Weinstein went to.’

So #Meetoo ???

They sit high up in their armchair but only come out with this when the movement started to take its effect. I get it Hollywood is just a bunch of people and sometimes people need help.

When people, who are part of the problem come forward and pretend to be part of the solution. Again, if you have or want to talk about your metoo story my ears are open, I want to listen and find someway of justice. Those who are quiet about what they see for years somehow come forward and are willing to lecture the public on how ‘we need to take things like this seriously’ or give a speech which isn’t really controversial jus tot get a standing ovation by their peers.

I get it right they were just scared to come forward. I won’t be coming out with my story anytime soon so why should they? Right. I get it. If you don’t want to come out with the truth, it’s okay if you want to do it in a couple of years when there’s a movement behind it… be my guest, but don’t give a speech. Don’t be the one who all of a sudden feels it’s right to tell everyone else how things should be done or how we should listen to victims when you stayed quiet all these years.

Hollywood are the ones who over sexualise people. Men and women. From films and magazines. That alone is a topic of a video but I can’t be asked with more research into Hollywood I am already bored and done with it.

Is it starting to get Political?

I am not on the right and I am not on the left. I don’t like to put labels on what I am and what I am not, a video for another time… I am very much a centre. I have strong opinions but I don’t fully agree with anyone side. My political place is for another video/Blog or time but looking at it from an outside view, maybe as an actual reporter/person.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Zac Efron and the Climate change crisis hypocrisy

I am glad they have things to believe in. Same with the Mee too movement. I think everybody needs something in their life worth fighting for and who am I to say that what they are fighting for is wrong or point out the hypocrisy of it all.

I myself care a lot about the environment and climate change. I think we start looking after the planet and not just take from it. It was one of the reasons I went vegan for 2 or so years and am a veggie now (that along with health and animals but this isn’t about my diet).

From Unkown

The problem is when you preach something you don’t participate in.

Flying 8,000 miles (in total… their and back) to pick up an ‘environmental’ award. Flying in a private jet to see the world cup. Staying in a private Yacht owned by someone who made all his wealth in Oil. A person who took a private Jet from New York to LA six times in six weeks. There are endless example of this.

I’m not saying to take it away from these people. Have your speech and, if you think they're helping, be my guest. The hypocrisy of trying to tell everybody else about ‘Climate change’ and ‘we need to do something’ when your Co2 footprint can cover almost a whole (small countries worth) is laughable.

Getting lectured about privilege by a prince and princess

Primpal sums it up almost perfectly.

The hypocrisy of celebrities has pretty much-become cliché. From flying around the world to lecture the public about climate change to lecturing the public about the need for open borders from within one of their many gated & walled-off mansions to preaching about the need for gun control while glorifying guns in their movies & TV shows & being protected by armed guards. They live in their own little world where reality is whatever that says it is at any given time.

The term ‘never meet your Idols.’ doesn’t come from thin air.

My whole point on this.

We get mistaken with the people who sing and preach what’s popular and miss the people who start it off. Were quick to praise Oprah for her sexual abuse speech but how many of you have heard of Tarana Burke…

From WIKI

she’s the person who started me too by the way. It’s hard to start a movement like me too but it’s easy to jump on when it’s a thing.

We get mistaken with someone like Amber Heard who comes forward for domestic violence but find out she’s the abuser, which shits on victims everywhere by the way but I got a video/post on that coming soon.

These trends aren’t found in Hollywood. Yes, a public figure might pick it up and make it go mainstream. We see that happen a lot. The ideas, the moving forward is found in the people and the public. It’s found in the relatively open conversations we have. Not some stupid or hypocritical form that comes from Hollywood. They might be the ones who can mainstream it and, the bias that I have against Hollywood, doesn’t change the power and voice the people within it have but real change is found in the public.

Meetoo, no matter how many # or likes it got online. It came down to the police who took the cases seriously. The Jury who looked at the case how it was.

The planet isn’t going to be fixed or get better because Leo takes an 8,000-mile plane ride to collect an environmental award. It’s you. Doing the small stuff that makes the real difference.
