    Jesus fucking Christ the tunnel vision of this guy:

    “These people have billions upon billions of dollars, like more money than any human person has ever amassed and what are they doing with it?

    “Oh, they’re doing it to curry favour with somebody who’s preaching hate.

    “That’s what I think … not as like a person who played in a movie. I think of it as somebody who is married to a woman who teaches disability justice in New York and lives for her students are going to get a little harder this year.”

    You ever heard of the multiple genocides fuelled by Facebook?!

      Jesus even when someone is on your side you have to pick a problem. This is why the right gets by, every shade of cunt working together while you cant look beyond the guy with a personal link zuck having a personal issue with his actions.

        This isn’t some moral purity thing, I’m not attacking his charity work or his political stance, I am criticising his actions, or rather ignorance, specifically on this. It’s also wildly different to criticise an actor with a bad take and no representation in politics than if he were a politician I was considering voting for. I’d still criticise the take, but if we aligned politically I’d still vote for him. Criticism is not “cancelling”.

          But he is on the right side, he is against the side zuck is aligning himself with. How he got there is important but he doesnt have to list them all out. Saying “This guy I famously portrayed actually had a direct negative impact on my partner, which sucks and I hate that people see him ad think of me”, is fair.

      He probably hasn’t, tbh. To most of us here on Lemmy, that’s old news and we’re already off the Zuck train, but most people don’t look into stuff like that, and it certainly wasn’t reported.
