A bit harsh? Geez, ya think?
It’s that instant gratification thingy that we all cling to so dearly aka smartphones. No more thinking skills especially critical thinking skills, and too many “friendly” parents who never disciplined their children. That and we have substituted opinions for facts, most of the time strongly biased ones in almost every single aspect of media. Couple that with a mob mentality and an absurd amount of people who are connected socially that cut each other down if someone has a different opinion than the status quo’s narrative. It’s psychological warfare and mass manipulation all wrapped up in a shiny virtue signaling vail.Um, I fkin' say it

A wise man once said that political correctness is a social virus, and if you have to take in to consideration someone else’s feelings every time you have a conversation, then the conversation isn’t worth having. Discord is fundamental to the essence of humanity. We are all different for a reason. We are not ants or bees, we aren’t meant to be some part of a collective consciousness because we are all created on an individual basis, not hatched from eggs all at once. Sorry for the rant. Hopefully it makes sense. Or maybe I’m just getting old and crazier by the minute.
Thank you, you as well.Well said McFly

I am right with you. I am so tired of winter. I have an image of myself with my picnic basket, bottle of wine, a big fat doobie lit up, sitting back in my compound, with plants in 10 gallon pots all around me.
If I went to work and spouted out my political beliefs I'D GET FIRED. So why is it okay for others? What makes them special? WTF? And WHY would anyone want to listen to someone who PRETENDS for a living and who lives in a gated community with gun carrying guards? They don't even live in the same fking world and want to disarm me. FUCK THEM ALL!A bit harsh? Geez, ya think?
I’ve never understood why it is that everybody in the land of the free — with the FIRST amendment tattooed on our national forehead — can have strong beliefs and opinions… but not celebrities. Give me a fkn break.
You can bet your sweet ass that if I had a platform, I’d use it too. And the hypocrisy is wild: a washed up MMA fighter, a podcaster, or a billionaire reality-TV mascot can sway millions of people and it’s considered normal… but if a musician or actor speaks up, suddenly it’s “shut up and sing.”
Let’s be honest: most people don’t actually object to celebrities having opinions. They object to celebrities having opinions they don’t like. “Shut up and sing” is just a softer, socially acceptable way of saying “know your place,” which is hilarious coming from a country that never shuts up about freedom.
And if you don’t like someone’s views, the solution is pretty simple: turn the knob. Don’t listen. Don’t watch. Don’t buy tickets. Don’t stream them. Because attention is currency now — and if you keep consuming someone’s work while claiming you hate what they stand for, you’re still supporting them whether you admit it or not. You don’t get to pretend you’re “just here for the music” while you keep paying the bill.
Also… celebrities are not put on this planet for the sole purpose of entertaining you personally. They’re human beings. Citizens. With the same right to speak their mind as anyone else. If you like Trump, go support Joe Rogan, Kid Rock, Musk, whoever. If you like freedom of thought, speech, and helping the less fortunate, go listen to Willie, Roger Waters, CCR, Snoop, etc. Pick your lane and own it.
This country is more divided than it’s been since the Civil War, and it’s split damn near 50/50. That means if you speak your mind publicly — no matter what side you’re on — you’re guaranteed to get millions of haters. So whether you agree with them or not, anyone willing to take that heat and still speak up? That’s not something to mock. That’s courage.
At the end of the day, freedom of speech doesn’t come with a “unless you’re famous” footnote. Artists and actors aren’t your personal jukebox or court jester — they’re citizens with the same right to speak as anyone else, and if anything, they’ve got more reason to use it because they can actually reach people. And yeah, in a country split damn near 50/50, speaking your mind is basically signing up for half the nation to hate your guts on principle. So whether you agree with them or not, if someone’s willing to take that heat and still say what they believe, that’s not something to mock — that’s courage.
