You mean Ethan Hack?

My uncle works at a car dealership, and has some absolutely garbage political takes, but he thinks people need to hear them anyway. Not sure why he’s any more qualified to talk about politics than a celebrity. It’s always funny to me when someone says celebrities/athletes just need to do their job and stay away from talking politics. Like, really? Where is your PoliSci degree from? Are you just moonlighting as a plumber from Sheboygan?
Nah, fuck that. „Don’t listen to artists“ while every publication is posting Orwell quotes or equating events to those seen in movies. Art is inherently political. If Ethan Hawke wants to stay out of the moment in order to not piss off a person that might watch his movie that’s his problem.
Edit: didn’t read the article just the headline, 100% ragebait that I fell for
Did any of you actually read the article? This is headline rage bait
Art and politics are always intertwined and everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Some of them are right though
He continued, “And I really feel like the answer is the absolute inverse, that everybody should be — we’re all citizens of the world and all of us matter, all of us have a voice and everybody’s welcome to disagree. That’s part of the benefit of living in a free society.”
Hawke said what I’ve been feeling forever. We ALL should feel able to speak freely about our politics. Isn’t it typically the general consensus that the politicians are the problem? I can become a politician overnight by deciding I am one. If I run and get elected, do I suddenly have a more important opinion than the next person? There are plenty of politicians in government who have no business being there, and who, unequivocally, should never be granted a national stage to air their idiocy.
False advertising not a bird
Anyone who lives in a society should have a voice when it comes to politics. When did every American forget that?
No, those are the people in office.
I’d still trust Ethan in the same room with my daughter over the child raping Trump
Excuses excuses use your platform to show how borked our government is right now, unless that’s your get down.
How about they get to speak and you get to decide if you listen. Just like everyone else in this world, Wow isn’t that crazy.
Anybody can talk about politics.
Whether celebs should be influential is a different topic.
I don’t think it’s a categorical “should they or shouldn’t they” but success and popularity doesn’t suddenly grant the ability to express a political point cogently. I think if you’re inarticulate it’s better to just donate money.
I know the title is clickbait but in general I do agree, if only for the types who try and make *everything* about politics all the time, and come with ill-informed opinions.
My issue with people who will downvote this is that they assume most of this coming from stars will align with their own beliefs, so by shutting them down they feel as though they’re losing out on educating the public. But what if things shift in a few decades and the majority of popular stars are on the other side of the aisle? Will you still feel the same?
It’s what the people need though celebrity millionaires to tell everyone what the think.
The world will stop spinning.
Nobody should say shit about anything.
Fuck off, clickbait karma farming bot.
