Sarandon and Barrera realizing any impacts from their views / opinions / etc. on the State of Israel's actions is the embarrassing byproduct of a system of deranged, vindictive reprisal we've allowed to take root here in the U.S.
Of course it doesn't violate anyone's first amendment rights for either of them to be cast aside by a private employer. But sober minds are sickened at the slow-speed-crash realization that nobody will ever truly escape the caste system that many thought we could outrun in the Land of the Free, whether our ancestors arrived 247 yrs ago or 10 min ago. We're not free. We're free to STFU and bow down to special interest groups and tiptoe around taboo subjects, but that's about it. We can pursue education, climb for the brass ring, make partner or managing director, buy a home in an affluent community, buy a vacation home, travel and live a life of financial security, and more. But we will struggle to ever be free unless we can break the chains of subjugation to this system. |
How interesting that people are now waking up to perils of cancel culture. I wonder what has caused this dramatic shift in alarm over people being cancelled for unpopular viewpoints. |
I suppose it's true that some people are just now waking up to it. What was described as a slow-speed-crash, though, suggests that the outcome has been foreseeable for quite some time, right? Nevertheless, the point being made is that the negative views / opinions / etc. (at least as they relate to the actions of the State of Israel) are far from unpopular. They just cannot be said without a dizzying, vindictive response from a small group wielding enormous sway - for now, I guess. Gravity is undefeated when it comes to pendulums, after all. |
It’s clear that People only care now because the tables have turned and now they find themselves being cancelled instead of doing the cancelling. That’s all. What’s good for the goose. |
What if the person who wrote it is opposed to anyone being cancelled for expressing such views? |
| As liberals love(d) to lecture the rest of us: "free speech is not free from consequences." Oh well! |
| Hate speech is just not cool. |
| She basically said that she is happy that Jews are getting horrible treatment, as in Jews deserve antisemitism. What if she said that about another minority? She would be cancelled immediately. Good for the talent agency to drop her. |

Who is defending this? I’m so confused. Horrible behavior, horrible person.
Also dumb. |
“There are a lot of people that are afraid, afraid of being Jewish at this time and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country so often subjected to violence." Susan Sarandon “ In another clip that appeared to be shot in daytime hours, Seldowitz called the vendor a terrorist and said: "It's not my fault you pray to a criminal." "You support killing little children,” Seldowitz told the vendor. "You kill children, not me," the vendor said. "If we killed 4,000 Palestinian kids, you know what? It wasn’t enough," Seldowitz said after telling the man he had "no right to be on the sidewalk." Stuart Seldowitz Obama national security adviser One of these of statements is clearly worst. One gets attacked, the speaker is fired and shouted down by the “woke” mob. The other is praised and cheered. One gets their own thread. |
| And Seldowitz was fired. This is not about whose statement is worse, they don’t work in the same place, Seldowitz was targeting one person, she was speaking from the podium. |
Seldowitz was at state for 30 years with this attitude — which is pervasive at state. State is way more than 2% Jewish Sarandon doesn’t make policy - seldowitz does Also, you know who had seldowitz attitudes as well? Sec. Albright |
And none of it has anything to do with Susan Sarandon. The thread is about her. Try to focus. |
True, it doesn't but it seems far more important that a former foreign affairs official, whose responsibilities were Israeli and Palestinian Affairs, did what he did. Repeatedly over the span of two weeks. |
The thread started on Seldowitz was locked while this one continues to get its own thread. What Sarandon was standing up for a people who are oppressed by Israel a Jewish state. This is done with the aid of the US government by people like Seldowitz. Yet the pro Israel mob goes Sarandon? This is why there has been no solution to the Israel problem. The US government in key positions is fill with people who share Seldowitz’s disgusting world view. You know these same people will not tolerate an employee with a different view. I wonder how many people of color, Muslim, etc Seldowitz forced our over the years? |
