Hundreds Killed In Iran
From Ben Shapiro
The content discusses the ongoing crisis in Iran, where hundreds of protesters are reportedly being killed by the government, with estimates reaching up to 10,000 according to eyewitnesses. The piece contrasts the urgency of the situation with the reactions of Hollywood celebrities, who are criticized for prioritizing their own issues rather than addressing the severe human rights violations occurring in Iran.
Key Takeaways
- Hollywood's moral outrage: louder for ICE than for the 10,000 casualties in Iran. Priorities, right?
- Mark Ruffalo finds it hard to act like there's no dictatorship while cashing in on blockbuster roles.
- Golden Globes: where virtue signaling trumps genuine solidarity for those risking their lives in real struggles.
- Nikki Glaser's jab at CBS News: comedy gold, but barely scratches the surface of Hollywood's factory of narratives.
- Celebrities mobilizing against 'stormtroopers' while enjoying safety in tuxedos; irony is the new black.
