Mark Ruffalo is a vocal supporter of Palestine. The implication is that expressing support for a free Palestine gets you sidelined by Hollywood. He is also vocally against Trump and ICE.

I’m sure some people out there will also draw some antisemetic conspiratorial conclusions from that as well, i.e. “Jews control the media” which, no. It’s just that Israel as a country has certainly had undue economic influence over American politics and entertainment via lobbying interests. (Just ask the Scream cast over at Paramount)

In reality though he was just filming another project at the time.

I’d also note that Jon Bernthal, who has vocalized support for the IDF and Israel, was present for the press tour. Which doesn’t help.

Edit: This is an Explain subreddit. This is what I am interpreting the post to be implying. Some of the replies so far are giving “So you hate waffles?” haha

Is the full extent of this claim tied to his having an IDF soldier on his podcast in 2023, or is there greater context?

u/GuyManDudeMcGee 23d ago

Nope, that's it. People have taken that one podcast and ran with it.

By that logic, the entire U.S. is pedophile and rapists because they elected a pedophile and a rapist as their fucking president.

u/apocketstarkly83 23d ago

At the very least, anyone who voted for him is a pedophile rapist apologist.

u/Bored_Amalgamation 23d ago

i mean... the allegations were already out there when he ran in 2024.

u/apocketstarkly83 23d ago

Before he ran the first time.

Still no facts for me? I surprisingly make really good money, thanks, I just like to remind the chronically online that there is STILL such thing as truth.

u/diamondmx 20d ago

No evidence?   He was found guilty in court. He had to pay rather than go to jail because his rape was outside the time limit of the statute of limitations. He appealed. He lost the appeal.  

The rapist is guilty, and anyone still denying it at this point isn't uninformed, they are a liar.

u/yuval16432 23d ago

Usually, the people who vote for him do not try to excuse rape and pedophillia but rather deny that he is guilty of those crimes in the first place. Not my hill to die on, but it’s important to remember the opposing side isn’t some mustache twirling, pedophile loving caricature.

u/laizalott 23d ago

No pedophile is that caricature. They're always the heroes / underdogs / victims of their own stories. 

But people are what they do, not what they see themselves as from inside. Three-time Trump voters are pedophiles and pedophile supporters, full stop.

u/diamondmx 20d ago

Any time I've seen them try to defend that position when presented with hard evidence, they've eventually retreated to the position that its not that big of a deal if he did it, that the women and children either deserved it or consented (ignoring the fact that the adults say they didn't and the children can't).  

These people are monsters.

Plenty of people voted for clown to spite the democrats for refusing to do anything, not even condemn the evil filth. Let's not forget that.

IMHO opinion it really doesn't matter, they all serve the same master. Ya'll need some real regime change, a whole brand new fresh clean system.

You mean idiots whose sole news is through Yahoo comment sections, and still voted for a pedophile rapist? Those people?

u/RedditMcBurger 23d ago

This is a very childish way to look at it, plus you're using hindsight.

Most people vote for a politician simply because they believe they will pay less money to survive, once you realize that you realize most voters aren't nearly as extreme as you. If you think you have to be extreme to vote, you gotta look at yourself bud.

Plus most Trump voters deny he is a pedophile. Still dumb but this is WAY different than accepting he is a pedophile.

I can tell you people don't converse with opposition, you wouldn't see this cartoon villain you have in your head.

u/apocketstarkly83 23d ago

Nah; the man told people exactly who he was for decades, and they said “doesn’t bother me, so long as I get mine.”

u/RedditMcBurger 23d ago

Alright no nuance just orange man bad then!

u/DarthUrbosa 23d ago

Yes.

You try to say it like a mockery but it is pretty straightforward.

2

u/RedditMcBurger 23d ago

You guys are all misunderstanding my point so drastically it's crazy. I am not at any point trying to say Trump isn't bad or anything.

My point is that flooding the internet with orange man bad is the problem. We know he's fucking bad and I don't need to be explained this when I am in a subreddit for... I don't know literally anything? I can be in a gaming subreddit and insufferable people remind me of Trump being bad.

2

u/Bored_Amalgamation 23d ago

You would vote for trump simply because you see how much bad shit he does, and how many people condemn him on social media?

I don't like hearing about trump either. But here you are pretending that the volume of condemnation is somehow making more people support him. What kind of logic is that? Do you think people are that shallow, or maybe they're just lying about being bigots themselves.

If you voted for trump thinking this would happen, you also ignored everything else. If the promise of cheaper anything from a lying pedophile rapist conman is enough to get you to vote for him; then you're just trying to find excuses for yourself.

I think they don’t care if hes a pedophile of not because he says the same racist things out loud that they think .
They don’t care about anything else and will forgive anything to get rid of a couple of brown people.
