Maybe It's You, Hollywood

I think there are generally two types of people in this world...
those who started being rebellious early and got tired of it
those who are going through rebellion in their later years

There are obvious those outliers who stay rebellious their entire lives. I guess. But even The Rolling Stones became corporately sponsored.

Most people often wonder why a person who is brown like me disavows the Left. I don't actually. They left us. Because it wasn't "charitable" enough. The way the Left work is to keep you on their plantation and thus control you. Pretty simple. The way the Right work is just to control you. One, is easier to spit at, the other is sickeningly sneaky. The Left is sneaky and therefore, very difficult to sniff out. They rely on your ignorance. In fact, most have lauded their education in your face. I have two degrees (a Master's degree) and therefore I am smarter (see what I did there?)

The issue is that you have to think for yourselves. Unfortunately, both sides have a mentality that if you are not for us, you are against us. Most clear now that I'm in Los Angeles and that mentality is in your face. My natural reaction is to spit in it. That should be ALL our reactions. And I see many of my Lefty contacts distancing themselves from me because my viewpoint doesn't match their own. Not to be TOO cynical, but I expect that from a Lefty. A Righty tends to, at the very least, listen. They're annoying as well, but in a different way. They come with WASPy catch phrases. Or they defend one and all of their supposed supremacy. It's baffling why anyone would consider them the "less educated party" since they're typically thrown into Ivy League classes and go for less creative endeavors (i.e. will always have a job). While their privilege is sickening (seen this first hand), they are more attuned to the collective. In the simplest terms of how to see the parties, the Right side runs the corporations, the Left have the mass and run the companies the Right own (therefore having their own power). Which is what it use to be like.
The lines are a little more gray now. One jumps to one side while another jumps to the other. And we also have mixed ideas. Working class have turned on the elite Whites. Which is the way it always has been ("Caddyshack", which is odd because rich White-ies enjoy this movie more than anyone else, though they are the villain).
To me, I see first hand hypocrisy in Hollywood. Though Lefty by party, they are the most diabolical capitalist possible. They're worse than yuppies who did so very little and got paid so very much. That's the hypocrisy you see at the ground level. Though these celebrities preach anti-establishment, they've created their own establishment and it's NEVER enough. Then, in hopes of disguising their wealth, they do charity work, since their fame (they've discovered) isn't worth much.
Folks, it really isn't. A lot of my acting friends want this so bad. But, let's be frank, the ones who do it and work and make it a business do NOT share the same mentality as the 1% at top. If this sounds familiar, it's because this is essentially all of us everyday. It is to the benefit of the 1% at the top who work constantly to pretend like they care about the ones at the bottom. Most are very upfront about it. Denzel Washington makes no beef about his money. And he doesn't flaunt his charity work. Nor does he throw money at the problem. That's what the 1% celeb does. They throw money at the issues and think that's enough. It's not. Because if they really ground it out at the people level, they realize how futile it is. And how the leaders they promote are useless.
And that would mean they'd have to re-evaluate their beliefs. But it would also mean the industry making sure you never worked again. That's how tolerant they are.
