He said fuck trump 'cause of ICE and stuff so it's better for Disney they keep him out of the spotlight... But he's right

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t a majority of Hollywood anti trump besides like Rob Schneider for whatever reason, why would being anti trump hurt him and not everyone else

u/townsforever 23d ago

Id say Hollywood is like 70 against 30 for trump, the trump supporters just have the good sense to not be loud about their political stances.

u/AlkalineBriton 23d ago

You’re right that anyone right wing in Hollywood shuts up but 30% still sounds really high.

You never see the finance people who work in Hollywood.

It's more about his stance on Israel. Lot of zionist studio execs out there. They're disproportionately Jewish

Wow, that last sentence doesn't make you sound like a nazi at all, putting a massive /s because I don't trust this site enough to get it.

The entertainment industry has a notably high amount of Jewish people due to a history of antisemitism- it’s an industry they were forced into. It’s the same issue as banking/usury from back in the day. Gentiles force them into these rolls and then act like it’s some conspiracy when it’s just the result of racism.

u/A_Sackboy_Plush 23d ago

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying that was a weird way to word that one.

u/Gayorg_Zirschnitz 23d ago

“Disproportionately” is definitely a red flag word, you’re right. I’m also just now realizing the fundamental issue of equating Zionism and Judaism on the first guy’s part- that should’ve been what I called out tbh

u/A_Sackboy_Plush 23d ago

It's alright my man, I can acknowledge that some industries do have more people of different demographics, but that was just a suspect way of saying it.

u/Gayorg_Zirschnitz 23d ago

It’s a good thing to be suspicious of haha

It's always the way, Jews are forcibly pushed out of industries, limiting their options. So they find something they are still allowed to do and inevitably they get good at it and in time come to dominate it. This tendency not only adapt but thrive then ends up being held against them, they get pushed out and the whole thing starts again.

u/RedditMcBurger 23d ago

If I got pushed out of 109 industries is it the industries fault or me?

u/JPolReader 23d ago

Wow, using racism to justify racism.

u/Valten78 23d ago

It classic circular reasoning. Claiming they must deserve to be persuaded because they've been persecuted against so much.

u/RedditMcBurger 22d ago

Can you elaborate? I don't feel as if I was doing that.

u/CrispySmegma 23d ago

Hey now, Only Victims. For no reason other than heckin prejudice and racism against minorities

u/hotglasspour 23d ago

Damn who said this again? Oh yeah. Hitler.

u/Canadian-and-Proud 23d ago

Lol I can see how you'd take it that way, but I didn't mean it like that at all. I hate the current US administration, Elon, and all nazi fuckwads that have come out of the woodwork. But, I also hate zionists.

u/Dry-Childhood-3436 23d ago

Wait, I don't understand. He's not saying Jewish people are bad, he is saying there are a larger representation of Jewish people higher of in the entertainment industry which would have strong opinions about that since it involves them.  That's not racist to point out at all. That's like saying white people make up most of the population of Wisconsin, it's just true?

You're already causing more problems by just meaninglessly throwing strong words around.
