I had expected to see Harrison Ford and John Travolta on that list. Irregardless, I don’t know how effective it is making a List of Bad Children and trying to shame them for doing what they can afford to do.
I tend to think a lot of this ‘outrage’ is good old fashioned Class Envy. Karens with too much idle time. I’m not bothered that somebody who works in entertainment and has a ‘ton’ of money can pay to fly when and where they choose.
I really don’t think their frequent flights are going to knock the planet off it’s axis.
It’s when they think they can dictate to others what to do I have a big problem.
Exposing hypocrites is always a good thing. You don’t seem to get the real purpose here.
Because these hypocrites dont just do it privately either. They lecture us little people who are “ignorant” compared to them, and we all need them to teach us, yet they don’t seem to do what they think we all should and give up luxuries like wimter heat and summer a/c when just ONEtrip of theirs in their massive planes is us driving our car for 15 years.
Maybe thats why people continue to point out elitist hypocrisy. They dont just say things, they work to take options away from all of us lesser beings. Iv they juxt spewed their idiocy it’d be one thing. But they acfively work to get things enacted to decrease average folks quality of life and actually endanger it in some cases.
Wake up.
The issue, and it is a real, valid issue, is people who blather about how we are destroying the planet, we have to have the UN take over the approach to climate change, and all that, yet jet around on these planes.
Attacking those people has nothing to do with class envy. Not in the least.
Nearly every conservative I have ever known does not begrudge wealthy people the ability to do what they want with money they have earned, and that includes owning their own private jet aircraft to do with as they please.
That list is one thing-I don’t know about the likes of Floyd Maywether and Alex Rodriguez, so in the case of their inclusion, that might well be class envy. I don’t recall ever hearing them spout off about people shouldn’t be allowed to own cars or whatever.
But I have heard that pap from the mouths of Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey, and Steven Spielberg.
And they should be viciously excoriated and ridiculed for their hypocrisy. The others? Power to them.
We feel much the same about the likes of Liam Neeson, who makes his fortune off handgun violence in his movies, but is a gun-grabber. If he weren’t a gun grabber, conservatives would probably go see his movies in droves. As it is, people like me won’t give him a dime.
Same sentiment. Blatant hypocrisy, not envy of their money.
I feel the same. If I had as much money as these people, I would never fly commercial again. They just need to keep their mouths shut to us peons about “climate Change”. Some of them are too stupid to figure that out... DeCaprio, John Kerry, Harry and Me again etc..
I don’t mind it either.
BUT
If they’re going to preach the gospel of Gaia and call for others to make real cuts in their standard of living, you bet I’m going to throw it back in their faces when they themselves do not live up to what they preach. Hell, I’m gonna do it with gusto.
