This some bOtH sIdEs trash?
Not at all
Cameron...described being the US under Donald Trump as “like watching a car crash over and over” and said his New Zealand citizenship was “imminent”.
“New Zealand had eliminated the virus completely,” he said. “They actually eliminated the virus twice. The third time, when it showed up in a mutated form, it broke through. But fortunately, they already had a 98% vaccination rate.”
“This is why I love New Zealand. People there are, for the most part, sane – as opposed to the United States, where you had a 62% vaccination rate, and that’s going down, going the wrong direction.
“Where would you rather live? A place that actually believes in science and is sane and where people can work together cohesively to a common goal, or a place where everybody’s at each other’s throats, extremely polarised, turning its back on science and basically would be in utter disarray if another pandemic appears.”

More like- just a rich douche seeing the way the wind is blowing, and is getting out before the guillotines are built.
A quick skim of the article, he also cites how the US doesn’t believe in vaccines and that trump is a train wreck. That said, he did make the quote and is a rich douche so…. Point stands

Yeah it’s not as bad as the headline alone makes it seem for sure! Still, weak ass quote.

Exactly, in the article he sees the problem but instead of using his money to help he fucks off to be safe. He may not be an asshole but he's a a bit cowardish for it I feel even if he can still help from NZ it's more likely he will just focus on his life there than try to put out the gordian garbage fire that is the US

All the assholes who are making the country worse could afford to do that easily, leaving the rest of us stuck here to clean up the shit, what else is new though.

As far as rich douches go, James Cameron is probably one of the cleaner ones.

Yup. I mean, I get it, but I would not advertise it. If everyone jumped ship, those that simply couldn’t would drown within it, so he isn’t exactly helping the situation. Need every vote possible, and dollar for that matter.

"Must be nice" is the comment I came here to post.
I don't see him sticking his neck out either. I've heard about him crashing out that people dont like his blue space horse movies enough. Who has he tried to educate, or influence?
Good riddance, our culture is trash, you helped no one

I left with just a few k in my pocket. Being rich helps quite a bit, but it's not the only method.

Often it's less the price of leaving and more about getting the new country to let you stay

He’s still rich off the exploitation of other laborers though

I think the opinion of those that have worked with him would be most relevant to that.

"At each other's throats?" 30% of the country is behaving like Nazis, others are calling them on it, and a disturbing percentage are silent. Yes I suppose more people could be silent to help preserve his feelings.
He has the money and platform to speak out. Instead he leaves.
