Sounds like a fair weather friend. Fuck that guy. Good riddance.
-
"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.
calling them out, is all they are doing, no other action than that.
-
FYI, he moved to New Zealand.
smart.. hiding from maps
-
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.
Then he can do without the both sidesism.
Whats irritating about this is not so much that he chose to leave but that he did so while making an unhelpful comment attacking every side in the political mess.
I would also be careful ignoring Trump. As much as I would like to think Trump is ignorable he has nukes and unlike Xi and Putin seems to have dementia.

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.
I'm telling you that I don't want to be involved in a conflict beyond my control but I'm willing to stay and work for a better life on the other side of the violence, and you're saying that it's a sad statement compared to the immigrants who left their violent countries to pursue a better life in a country with no war?
Can you understand your mistake here? I'm not leaving. I want to survive and use my skills to rebuild what I can after the 2-digit IQ war is over. I'm sad because I'm volunteering to clean up the mess?
-
It won’t be contained so, you are saying you will deserve it when it comes for you?
i'm busy making sure it never comes here. Americans need to own up and right their house.

You’re mistaking correlation for causation?
They are directly connected.

Oh no, its well documented that he's a raging asshole. Fuck James Cameron.
Sorry sometimes I forget this isn't Reddit and I don't have to take pincers to criticize billionaires

All done ripping off Frank Herberts early works yet?

Nah man I'm a professional scuba diver (well retired now) and avatar 2 and 3 made huge difference in pop cultural understand of the ocean. It's his most important work yet and one of the most important Hollywood movies ever. I've seen thousands of people here in Thailand alone who got into scuba diving and reduced their sea food consumption just because of Avatar - this is good!
Don't let your hate for the system blind you.
Feel about him ever how you wish. It wont affect how I feel about him in any way. He is running away. He is white and running away says it all to me. Avatar was just another CGI Cowboys and Indians fantasy. The plot couldn't have been any blunter.

No wonder why he left.

You let the fucking same wolves in!
Jesus Christ people can’t be serious right now,
Why are you assuming I'm from New Zealand? All I know is they don't have federal agents going around executing people extrajudicially in the streets...
-
So James Cameron made what movie about how bad The USA politics is & how bad Capitalism (or should I being saying Feudalism) is? Answer NONE!
What a spoiled brat, I love Avatar movie series, but just go, we do not need youHow did you watch the Avatar movies and not see US imperialism parallels?
-
ITT: People mad that Canadian celebrity won't stay in the US and fix it.
I'm surprised people here aren't mad that Hayao Miyazaki rarely visited the US since Bush II.
-
The most effective thing he can do it take that tax revenue out of the US. Now New Zealand and Canada will be reaping all the benefits of having him there
You think he pays taxes at the same rate as the rest of us losers?
-
How did you watch the Avatar movies and not see US imperialism parallels?
No, I did see that USA invading other places/nationalities, Other Beings & Environments, even saw past genocide of North American Indigenous people, Other Beings & Environments, by The USA. That is so rare, no one else I know of does that sort of movie series , THEN IT IS JUST A PRETTY/FLUFF SET OF MOVIES! Unfortunately 1st is light years better
How do you not see that is different from the BLANK going on now?
‘The Crazy Don’ & Etc. is coming from inside, directly destroying everything & not hiding anything; NOT from outside, directly destroying outside-indirectly destroying inside & hiding important things, from back home & propagandizing the rest.
That Mr. Cameron is running a way from, as a wealthy, thus privileged coward that he is, not in the protests, risking everything, for the people that made him the stuff that enables him to hide in another country!Plus, many of his other movies are the exact opposite of taking on Capitalism (or should I being saying Feudalism) & it’s favorites- Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners!
-
Honestly, if I was relatively wealthy, odds are that I would tuck tail and run away from the US. Unfortunately, my poverty has backed me into a corner. Flight isn't an option, only fight.
Yerp, the wealthy are always insulated from the problems they create. And then they get upset when we try to tax them to contribute to fixing those problems.
"It doesn't affect me, why should I pay for it?" "Motherfucker, you caused it!"
-
He still can. This doesn't change that
You know he won't lmfao
-
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.
Exactly, he's made so much money off the American public and when stuff gets bad he leaves. Normally lemmy doesn't defend the rich but here we are.
