Avatar director, who moved to New Zealand after the Covid pandemic says he will soon be a citizen of a country where people ‘are, for the most part, sane’
I mean, “both sides” are intentionally being riled up and driven to violent and dangerous rhetoric by one side so yeah. I hate Trump and Repubs but it’s insane the vile shit you see people say. On both sides.
Now where the sides are completely different is that 999/100 on the lefter side aren’t going to go commit violent hateful acts. On the other side it’s a lot worse ratio.
Should note that it’s just social media. In real life it’s just conservatives being insane vs sensible people
Generally comments on Facebook. I was seeing vitriolic death shit around the Charlie Kirk stuff but extended. Everyone in the comments telling each other to die and threatening. It was gross. Driven by bots it gets everyone worked up. Since the ICE “crackdown” though it seems to be just racists vs sensible people, and I’m glad for that.
Cameron…described being the US under Donald Trump as “like watching a car crash over and over” and said his New Zealand citizenship was “imminent”.
“New Zealand had eliminated the virus completely,” he said. “They actually eliminated the virus twice. The third time, when it showed up in a mutated form, it broke through. But fortunately, they already had a 98% vaccination rate.”
“This is why I love New Zealand. People there are, for the most part, sane – as opposed to the United States, where you had a 62% vaccination rate, and that’s going down, going the wrong direction.
“Where would you rather live? A place that actually believes in science and is sane and where people can work together cohesively to a common goal, or a place where everybody’s at each other’s throats, extremely polarised, turning its back on science and basically would be in utter disarray if another pandemic appears.”
A quick skim of the article, he also cites how the US doesn’t believe in vaccines and that trump is a train wreck. That said, he did make the quote and is a rich douche so…. Point stands
Every one of us profits from a system that exploits workers. There are workers who can’t even get online, they’re suffering more than you, and what little you have is partly due to their underpaid efforts.
Don’t let imperfection be the enemy of good. We’re all a part of a system that exploits others, so that can’t be any useful metric as it paints everyone.
No, if he hadn’t been allowed to take billions of dollars in profits off the movies and intead the rewards had been more equitably distributed, they would have been better off.
I don’t get what’s so difficult about this concept. One guy doesn’t do much work, gets most of the money. Bunch of people do most of the work, get very little money. Way too many people with no money, “this is the best possible system and I will defend it with my dying breath.”
This some bOtH sIdEs trash?

Can you show an example of the vile shit the non-conservative group is saying?

Not at all
Yeah it’s not as bad as the headline alone makes it seem for sure! Still, weak ass quote. :p
More like- just a rich douche seeing the way the wind is blowing, and is getting out before the guillotines are built.

As far as rich douches go, James Cameron is probably one of the cleaner ones.
He’s still rich off the exploitation of other laborers though
I think the opinion of those that have worked with him would be most relevant to that.
He’s profiting from a system that exploits workers, opinions are irrelevant

Who got exploited in his case?
3D animators at least
So if he hadn’t made Avatar, they would have been better off?
