Like the majority in the Western world I'm a working class kid (we do make up the majority). I've had to fight hard for everything I've got & I know what it's like to go hungry - I have experience of that! I'm not of any elite, I believe in social justice, health care, strong union representation in the workplace for fair pay & hours. My point is: I'm a true man of the Labour movement & I class myself as a socialist (in the western European sense). I am not a communist & I believe wholehearted in democracy & freedom of expression. That being said, I too believe in dreams & escapism via the medium of entertainment. I love the glamour & glitz that showbiz offers (especially American).
Nevertheless, these days I get frustrated by this pseudo liberal elite political correctness (that has a fascist taint) which permeates every pore of the US entertainment industry and drowned the Oscars last night. Last night's Oscars was a weird pseudo-victim chic festival.
I want to see glamour & glitz, beautiful women (of all ages) looking stunning & dashing leading men being charming & funny. I know these people are blessed with looks & incredible wealth & rightfully so - they sell dreams (for the most part) & that's a very lucrative business. But last night's I'm a victim too one-upmanship by these incredibly privileged people actually made me angry. If these female actors want more female-centric films made by women fund them! They're wealthy enough!
I want to hear from nurses & plumbers, doctors & electricians when it comes to struggle & political insight - not a bunch of people who play make believe for a living.
The narcissism was stunning!
