Pretending to be Actors

The entertainment industry lives in a world of pretend. They go out of their way to say they are feminists while the strip women to their bare breasts and sexually objectify them to nothing more than slavish desires of men who watch them. The cry for the poverty of the many while they live in the lap of luxury. They cry against the other wealthy, even though they provide more for the necessities of the poor. They pretend to be heroes but have fought in no struggle. They pretend to be moral while promoting lust and violence. The alter of Hollywood sells dreams and creates nightmares. Some may say they work hard for their money. So do teachers, who are paid far less but provide so much more. So do farmers, who provide the food we need to eat. Miners risk their very lives for our buildings, our fuel, and our very way of life, yet are not paid a fraction of the entertainers who provide at most a few hours worth an escape. Then again, what is Hollywood but capitalism raging against itself, marketing its hatred, and selling these sentiments to those who refuse to live. Hollywood may cry against the corporate establishment only to prentend they are not part of it.

(Just my ranting. I actually like capitalism and entertainment. But this is good food for thought as I ponder the actors who  hypocritically oppose  a system they are a part of.)
