So Star Wars was really pro-empire propaganda the whole time!

100% of the time I'm using an app, just like I did on reddit. Don't even know what the desktop site looks like (jk)
Jack is and will remain to be one of my idols. Like I said, his music and comedy meant a lot to me and others in my generation, and helped make us the people we are today. He was a voice of joy and rebellion, not some nazi. I know he is a person with a good heart.
I'd have to see something pretty damning to change that. A lot more than making uncool movies these days, or failing some purity test on his political opinions. I haven't seen whatever supposed zionist stuff he has expressed, but if it boils down to him saying he supports Israel, i would take that to mean he's just saying what he thinks he should and doesn't have an understanding of the reality of the Palestinian genocide, like most people in America.
If you want your idols to be perfect, then don't have any, because all people are flawed.
I wish he hadn't done that. But I can also see how he wouldn't want to put fans at risk by continuing that tour after Kyle put a MAGA target on their back.
But like I said, either way he's earned a pass in my book for the music and comedy that was a huge influence on me.
Jack Black earned enough respect from me for Tenacious D and everything else he has done, to withstand doing some family movies. If he wasn't as big influence on your life I can understand not seeing it that way though.
I can hear this comment
I love this game! One of the best in the genre. I've still got my cartidge
The CEO of UHC is both a public and a political figure
I feel like acknowledging that corporate interests DO have extreme political power is kind of the whole point.
How was it not an assassination?
Like I said earlier, he's responsible for the safety of the fans at their shows who were suddenly at risk of harm from crazy MAGAs after Kyle endorsed killing Trump on stage. We can't just assume he was only thinking about his movie money. Maybe he was maybe he wasn't, maybe made the wrong call, doesn't make him a monster.
