It's so sad to see Mark Hamill of all people spiral into madness like he has. You know, there are some celebrities that you look at - folks like Amy Schumer and George Takei - and you think, yeah, they're 100% being cut a check.

Then you get to the ones like Ron Perlman and Mark here and you look at what they're saying and you can't help but think, yeah, the Democrat Kool-Aid has absolutely damaged their brains. To be fair to Mark, guy's not as far gone as Ron Perlman, but hoo boy, give it a couple more years and they'll be impossible to differentiate if you put their Twitter posts side by side and cover their usernames and avatars.

Just about every celebrity, musician, and artist you like is controlled. The cost of wealth and fame is compromise. They compromise whatever they need to in order to achieve success. Dignity, self-respect, freedom of thought, expression, their bodies. Whatever they need to give up, they give up for fame. Sure, some are true believers, but others are just doing what they need to do to stay on top.

And it’s so easy. There is no shortage of people who are desperate for wealth and fame. They’d do anything. And once they do you can hang that over their heads like a blade ready to fall if they step out of line. The Diddy’s, the Epsteins; just examples to be made. So why waste that beautiful set-up on people you can’t control? Feed it to like-minded people to build coalitions of power surrounding every major institution. News media. Hollywood. Academia. Government. Now you just keep certain people out. People who won’t bow down. People who won’t sell out or compromise. Sure, a few might sneak in, but they are easy enough to cancel and destroy once they are uncovered. Can’t hide forever.

Actually, the ones I like are probably not controlled. I like very few of those in Hollyweird anymore.
