"much more needs to be done to counteract the pollution generated by Hollywood.""
As Michelangelo Buonarroti wrote some 440-something years ago, "Clear them out of your life as the scandalous and evil-living lot they are". Most certainly he must have meant them, for the description fits them to a "t". Clear them out of your life and boycott them and everyone who even remotely looks like them.

I don't think Michaeangelo would endorse cutting the Arts out of your life.

Yes, I agree. For my part, stars that use their position to spout their liberal message are not gettin my money. That is my prerogative, my right. They have a right to spout their liberalism, I have the right not to purchase their product, in this case a theater or movie ticket. Simple as that.

Borges: Your wrote: "I don't think Michaeangelo would endorse cutting the Arts out of your life". And "Would you prefer people abandon all entertainment and just do things that are absolutely needed for bare survival like in a Cyberpunk novel? :-)"

Michaelangelo would probably not consider Hollywood movies "art" :0> There are other forms of art that are much more edifying.
