[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 199226, member: 57984"] As an ascot-encircled lefty, I don't necessarily mind the occasional topical speech during an award show (and what would we do without Vanessa Redgrave chiming in about Zionist oppression and influence, met with shouts and boos, at the Oscar here-and-there?). Sometimes it's just good TV. But the kind of finger-pointing (even at other lefties who don't pass the ideological purity test which even the purveyors can't pass either) going on nowadays is vile and regressive and helps no oppressed group, nor is it intended to. It's designed to get everybody to walk on eggshells for its own sake. I've said before, if the political right had fashioned some kind of intelligence black op to infiltrate with moles the political left to make it stupid (and therefore bring it down), they couldn't have done a better job. That's a conspiracy theory I like, but I suspect the threat is home grown... Some on the left really fight for justice and fairness, while others on the left simply like to fight -- weaponizing topics accordingly, for purposes of eternal virtue-signaling. Leftists are not all the same, just as all conservatives are not nazis.
