It's both. He's difficult to work with, but also his acting is so bad he makes most movies he's in worse than they could be.

Plenty of Hollywood actors are assholes, but if they're good enough at acting they're forgiven. Jared Leto is not good enough to get away with it.

So by that logic, third party voters were fine with visa and green card holders being shipped out in the same way they're ok with tariffs making the U.S. the enemy of the world except for "liberals" complaining about their poor choice and making them feel bad.

Wasn't much of a concern when voting though.

It's just the classic. Everything is over exaggerated and not a big deal until it personally affects you. Then you realize everyone who's talking about this is going through the same thing or worse. Until the next issue comes up and these people go right back to the sidelines to tell leftists they're overreacting.

I'm at the point where I know he won't face consequences because he's rich. But an arrest and trial would at least be sanity.

Not exactly, the argument (is incoherent and insane) is something like "you can't have too much democracy and centralized power because people in power are always corrupt." ✨Somehow✨ laissez-faire capitalism is supposed to naturally account for corruption and sociopathy because the free market forces(???) them to do good things because people are able to spend their money somewhere else. Always non-violent btw ❤️

The absolute worst is them saying socialism is pessimistic because it thinks people can't do anything for themself and coddles them with a nanny state. Then turns around and says "you have to structure capitalism assuming every single person is a greedy sociopath hellbent on fucking over everyone else to make money."

Occasionally they throw in a "Frunch" as well just to keep historians on their toes.

I read through that whole thing. What is the demand? It's just general hate against the trump administration? I'm all in favor but unless the strike has specific legal actionable demands what is the point? Even under the "demands" section of their FAQ it lists a bunch of vague "good" things that they want (all of which I'm in favor of) but says it won't get into specifics until later.

You do the strike, it panics the ruling class, and then what? There's nothing they've been informed of that they can do. No line that tells them "you can put an end to this if you do XYZ". Nothing to tell the people whether the strike succeeded or failed. What will that get? A bunch of people who conclude that the strike didn't work and they need food so they go back to their jobs. Next time the strike comes around, even if it has demands this time, the obvious thought is that it didn't work last time so why would it work this time and distrust in the people and political ideology that started this strike in the first place.

In my opinion, a movement like this is defined exclusively by their policies and demands. Without those it's just people throwing a tantrum.

Well we don't have large sea mammals that roam our streets here in America so it's never been a huge issue. I mean 20 mph seems excessive really considering their size.
