‘Everybody’s at each other’s throats’: James Cameron says he has left the US permanently
-
"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 also came to post "must be nice".
Rich assholes
-
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
He's an asshole
-
Must be nice to be so rich you can just decide to leave.
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.

Who got exploited in his case?

This some bOtH sIdEs trash?
I mean, “both sides” are intentionally being riled up and driven to violent and dangerous rhetoric by one side so yeah. I hate Trump and Repubs but it’s insane the vile shit you see people say. On both sides.
Now where the sides are completely different is that 999/100 on the lefter side aren’t going to go commit violent hateful acts. On the other side it’s a lot worse ratio.
Should note that it’s just social media. In real life it’s just conservatives being insane vs sensible people

To be fair; famous people usually get shat on (and rightly so) when speaking about politics

Can you show an example of the vile shit the non-conservative group is saying?

3D animators at least

So if he hadn't made Avatar, they would have been better off?

He’s profiting from a system that exploits workers, opinions are irrelevant

Generally comments on Facebook. I was seeing vitriolic death shit around the Charlie Kirk stuff but extended. Everyone in the comments telling each other to die and threatening. It was gross. Driven by bots it gets everyone worked up. Since the ICE “crackdown” though it seems to be just racists vs sensible people, and I’m glad for that.

Cameron is complicit. He just took a shitload of money from Meta

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.

No, if he hadn't been allowed to take billions of dollars in profits off the movies and intead the rewards had been more equitably distributed, they would have been better off.
I don't get what's so difficult about this concept. One guy doesn't do much work, gets most of the money. Bunch of people do most of the work, get very little money. Way too many people with no money, "this is the best possible system and I will defend it with my dying breath."
