Far Right Celebrities (1 Viewer)

[Optimus Prime]

Meant to post this when the Scott Adams/Dilbert story broke

Who are far right celebrities that you are aware of?

I think Jon Voight is probably the granddaddy of them all with James Woods not far behind

There's Ted Nugent for sure

Hercules' Kevin Sorbo and Lois & Clark's Dean Cain

Scott Baio had his moment at the RNC, I haven't heard anything from him since

I'd add Kanye West but he more seems to be just losing his mind

I'm pretty sure that Drew Carey, Tim Allen and Kelsey Grammer are conservative Republicans (which is fine) but as far as I know none of them went off the deep end

Roseanne Barr seemed to go full far right

Growing Pains Kirk Cameron is super religious, but I've never heard him comment on anything other than religion (it would just be an assumption that someone that religious is far right)

The pandemic opened the doors to some anti-vax, conspiracy minded celebs which doesn't necessarily have anything to do with politics

Those would include:

Person of Interest's Jim Caviezel
Black Panther Letitia Wright
Lost's Evangeline Lilly

Think of anyone else?

fascists love to make lists of their enemies, am I right?

We’re making fun of them. It’s easy to do, but sometimes you don’t need a challenge.

Yeah, most of the time they are indeed. Carry on.

Meh, seems like the Reich Wing aka actual fascists do that.

I'll admit I did laugh at the fishing show comment



Here's the whole clip, so you can judge for yourself



and an article addressing the county issue Barr talks about, like the sea of red county map that is always shown when a Republican loses the election

Did you know that people vote and land doesn't.

If you look at the blue areas of that map, the blue areas are mostly where people are. Places like Wyoming and Alaska don't even have a million people and are heavily dependent on the federal government.

I'm sorry and thank you for clearing that up for me.

Does Marjorie Taylor Green count? She once said something like, if minorities all think white people are so evil, why do they keep wanting to come to the US?

I thought that that was brilliant. It also shut all the lefties up.

Nope...

Yeah. At first I was leaning toward another AI beta, but even AI betas are more subtle. I'm referring to beta as in beta testing, not in the moronic alpha male/beta male nonsense.

Nah, Empty Greene is an idiot. The reasons for leaving countries in Latin America have nothing to do with the false construct called whiteness.

Your last two sentences are false.

The reason why they are coming is mainly 2 reasons.

The first, because people don't want to die of starvation or shot by a gang.

Second, at least in Venezuela is because of economic and political reasons. Basically America has put sanctions and an embargo on Venezuela that is causing political and economic unrest. That's on top of the government allowing corruption and gangs to terrorize the population. The price of gas has gone way down. Oil is their major export and their economy heavily depends on oil revenue.

I'm surprised that anyone would actually pay attention to mtg and agree with such childish, simplistic and unintelligent things she says.

Yes, the Dems (fascists) do indeed do that.

So you are reduced to “I know you are but what am I?” lol.

In an escalation of a standoff over her firing in The Mandalorian, Gina Carano is suing Disney and Lucasfilm for discrimination and wrongful termination in a lawsuit that opens another front in the battlefield for influence over Hollywood that has drawn in corporate America.

Carano, in a complaint filed on Tuesday in California federal court, alleges she was fired for voicing right-wing opinions on social media and seeks a court order that would force Lucasfilm to recast her. Elon Musk, making good on a promise to foot the legal bill for users who claim they have been discriminated against due to their activity on his platform, is helping fund the suit through X.

In a statement, X's head of business operations Joe Benarroch said, "As a sign of X Corp's commitment to free speech, we're proud to provide financial support for Gina Carano's lawsuit, empowering her to seek vindication of her free speech rights on X and the ability to work without bullying, harassment, or discrimination."

Lucasfilm in 2021 announced that Carano will not be returning to the hit series after sharing a post implying that being a Republican is like being Jewish during the Holocaust. It was the latest in a long string of posts in which the former MMA fighter drew the ire of social media users for her right-wing positions on hot-button issues. Carano, who was dropped by UTA following the controversy, previously mocked government mandates to wear masks during the COVID-19 pandemic and falsely suggested that voter fraud occurred during the 2020 presidential election.

According to the complaint, Disney and Lucasfilm harassed and defamed Carano for refusing to conform with their viewpoints on issues relating to Black Lives Matter, preferred pronouns and disproven claims of election interference. While she was allegedly fired for her cultural and religious beliefs, Carano argues that the entertainment giant turned a blind eye to her male costars, who allegedly made offensive and denigrating posts directed towards Republicans. She points to Pedro Pascal's 2017 post comparing former president Donald Trump to Hitler.

The suit says Disney required Carano, who was paid $25,000 per episode as a guest actor and later negotiated a one-time $5,000 bonus, to meet with representative of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Discrimination and demanded a public apology.

"Defendants went so far as to try and convince Carano's publicist to force Carano to issue a statement admitting to mocking or insulting an entire group of people, which Carano had never done," the complaint states.


After she refused, Carano was told to meet with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and 45 employees who identify as LGBTQ+, according to the suit. She declined and was terminated shortly after from The Mandalorian, as well as other titles in the Star Wars universe, including Rangers of the New Republic.

Carano also alleges Disney engaged in a "post-termination smear campaign," citing the abrupt removal of an episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls in which she appeared from the "show's scheduled lineup" in an "effort to malign" her. Though the episode eventually aired, Disney allegedly omitted any mention of her name and likeness in promotional materials.

The suit faults Disney's termination of Carano as the impetus for UTA and her transactional lawyer dropping her as a client.

Carano brings claims for wrongful discharge and sex discrimination. She seeks a court order that would force Lucasfilm to recast her and at least $75,000, plus punitive damages.

"Some of us have been unjustly singled out, harassed, persecuted and had our livelihoods stripped away because we dared to encourage conversation, asked questions, and refused to go along with the mob," she said in a statement.

At-will employees, who make up the majority of private sector workers, often face an uphill climb in obtaining damages for terminations over problematic online posts deemed to be offensive and in violation of workplace policies. Unlike employees in the public sector, such workers are not shielded against discipline under the First Amendment.

On X funding the suit, Carano added, "I am honored that my case has been chosen to be supported by the company that has been one of the last glimmers of hope for free speech in the world.".............
