‘Everybody’s at each other’s throats’: James Cameron says he has left the US permanently
-
ITT: People mad that Canadian celebrity won't stay in the US and fix it.
FYI, he moved to New Zealand.

Whenever I see people telling American to just leave the US, I always think "so I have to be rich to move to a new country? And I'm supposed to be a problem?" It costs tens of thousands of dollars to get just the application. It's extremely privileged to assume everyone can do that.
I feel like it says a lot that he believes everybody is at each other's throats right now.
Most people seem to have a lot less tolerance for unnecessary bullshit, as in just not having the energy to waste pretending.
I think it's because most people who are aware of reality are also aware that shit is very bad right now, unless you're a Nazi and it's intentional. This country is being held hostage by Nazis trying to goad us into a civil war, and it's kind of psychotic to pretend things are normal.
There are some people who seem to want to pretend the same rules as always still apply, because it makes them feel more in control. They get offended when people don't play along and pretend reality isn't reality, but ... tough shit. This is a fucking ridiculous mess.
I can't help but wonder if he views people no longer pretending to be nice about his bullshit as "everyone being at each other's throats."

Via con dios. I'm a blue collar paycheck to paycheck schlub. I have to stay. I have to survive. In the end I will bring a strong back and a shovel to clean up the mess.

He could use his money to fund opposition
He still can. This doesn't change that

Lots of people left russia before and after the war started, it doesn't hurt enough. Government was actually ok with that.
I'm about 90% sure they've been trying to get educated people to leave the U.S. before the midterms. It feels like some of the disinformation campaigns of 2026 have become so obvious now compared to the campaigns of 2016.
There's obviously a chance there won't be midterms but as dumb as these people are, they probably didn't kick off a 50 year long plan to destroy the U.S. government and overthrow democracy without a Plan A, Plan B, and probably a Plan C.
Even if Plan A is to cancel the midterms, it's easier to do that, along with a lot of other bullshit, if you successfully carry out a Plan B where you convince a significant chunk of the population with education, money, and influence to leave the country before you carry out Plan A. That leaves a weaker population to push back against you.

It's funny, reading your sad little statement while thinking about the countless immigrants who left everything to start a new life in America, back before the fascists took control. We really are a sad little nation now, in more ways than one.

Yes take what you could and get out while it’s bad. Fuck off then.

It won’t be contained so, you are saying you will deserve it when it comes for you?

Not really surprised a Canadian would do that. Rich Canadians seem to be pretty fucking awful.

He could get out there and energize protests. In the country he got so much out of. While its citizens rot with no healthcare he lived like a king off our labor. Fuck every one of these people.
-
Man makes his wealth through the American movie industry, leaves when America gets bad.
Yeah I'd say everyone has the right to be angry at that.
Edit: extremists are a plague
He got rich off the back of American Labor.

As a professional scuba diver I think his ocean-related work is much more important than America. Sorry guys but the world doesn't revolve around you.
Did the world revolve around Germany during ww2?
Your country either has something America/Russia/China wants or it’s trash to these people.
-
To be fair; famous people usually get shat on (and rightly so) when speaking about politics
Oh no! Will he cry in his millions?!?! What a poor baby!

Why does a canadian have an obligation to help the US?
Great argument! “Why should people that immigrate give a shit about any other country than their mother country?” Really good thinking there arguing for isolationism.
-
Yeah. And as a kiwi it kinda pisses me off that we let wealthy Americans in. I'd rather it was a generic visa program than a pay-to-play.
They going to fuck you next. Maybe you’ll get s taste of your allies saying you deserved it too. Great time on this planet.
-
FYI, he moved to New Zealand.
I think you mean middle earth, though as a kiwi, it's not all sunshine and lollipops here.
-
Huh? New Zealand is in much better shape than america.
You let the fucking same wolves in!
Jesus Christ people can’t be serious right now,

Every one of us profits from a system that exploits workers. There are workers who can't even get online, they're suffering more than you, and what little you have is partly due to their underpaid efforts.
Don't let imperfection be the enemy of good. We're all a part of a system that exploits others, so that can't be any useful metric as it paints everyone.
K so I’m going to continue to be pissed at some asshole coming to our country with no loyalty or desire to be American, exploiting our labor, and fucking off when it gets bad.
I hope he gets to live long enough for it to come to his door.

He is in fact a Canadian from Canada. Do you think everyone who left Nazi Germany in the 30s was a coward?
The super rich? Yes.

You can pretty easily get a job for shit wages teaching English in Japan, and it's not the only country like that. You don't have to be rich, you just have to consider a different standard of living acceptable
