Fool’s Gold at the Golden Globes Ricky Gervais told Hollywood exactly how out of touch they are with their audience. They didn’t listen.

January 9, 2020 Last Sunday night, Ricky Gervais damaged Hollywood more than all of us conservative writers put together. We’re just a basket of deplorables to the celebrants, but Ricky, he’s in the club. And as host of the 77th Golden Globes Awards Ceremony, he really let them have it. Whereas columns like this one will never puncture their progressive bubble, Gervais surely did, and right to their faces. You could see how grim Tom Hanks looked — GRIM-no more Mr. Rogers. Most of my colleagues have already covered Gervais’ explosive speech, so I’ll excerpt just the detonative part: “You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.” With those few lines, Gervais blasted Tinseltown’s baseless moral sanctimony and intellectual ignorance, while knocking its latest false idol (Thunberg) and idolatry (climate change)........... http://spectator.org/fools-gold-at-the-golden-globes/

Gervais asked on his twitter ... quote:
How the **** can teasing huge corporations, and the richest, most privileged people in the world be considered right wing?
There's a question worth considering.
Pre Occupy, the modern Left wing's focus was class equality. Eat the rich. Those "huge corporations" were routinely in the Left's kill box. Meanwhile, at least in theory, they championed the ordinary blue collar working man. Post Occupy, the focus has shifted to race and gender, the corps are now propagandizing the new Left agenda, and the blue collar class is vilified.
Why the shift?
(Also, please note the use of "teasing")

Oh, yes, someone mentioned that his quotes were taken out of context. That he was referring to people who work for companies like Disney. IP: Logged | |
