I can guarantee you that Pedro Pascal isn't struggling, and I'd love it if we could "work together" as you said on actual art, not fast food style commercial mega-productions.
You didn't even read what he said correctly man. I get class solidarity, but when someone uses their platform to speak truth to power and encourage systemic improvement it's not useful to bitch and bicker like this. It's a good thing, we should take it as a good thing and use that momentum. Not devolve into the infighting that makes our side so ineffective because we are all trying to be better people, and help each other be better. That makes us morally superior, but also makes it difficult to operate as an effective unit and play like a team, like the right does. They hate and they unify, they don't divide themselves like this over everything they can find. The fact that we do hold all of ourselves to a higher standard is a good thing, but we need to snap out of it before we let them win the country forever based on our lack of unity. Don't let perfection be the enemy of the good, especially in this historical moment
okay but he's not speaking for himself here. he's using the platform he's been given to speak for exactly who you're saying we should protect
He’s advocating. He’s using his voice to speak truth to power while you winge on a niche forum.
Wow, such an incredible self sacrifice, such a profound movement. Shall I write him a thank you letter?
I'm bet you have needs not being met right now.
Don't give up hope, they win if you do
From, A nobody with nothing
Who said it was some huge sacrifice? He’s doing something. You are just a whiner. We don’t need to suffer whiners.
Feel free to have the last word, I’m sure it’s very important to you. You’re not entitled to any of my attention so I won’t be reading it.
Nobody wants to be on the side of someone who acts like this my guy. It doesn't even matter if you were making a valid point, it's just off-putting and ineffective. This is the kind of behavior that dis-invites people and pushes them toward identity politics
Dude.
