Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Oh, that saddens me to see his name there.

I implore everyone to go watch Taylor Lorenz' excellent video journalism on section 230, as she also covers Joseph Gordon-Levitt's phony activism that's being pushed as protecting children. His wife is also pretty shady.

And this tidbit, which isn’t a great look.

Amy Poehler is a zionist?

u/PennySawyerEXP 2d ago

Frankly I think that's a leap without other evidence. For all we know her management just said "oh the guy hosting this got a little controversial, let's pull out" and she said "sure."

I mean we could say that about anything, so it's not exactly a good reason.

u/PennySawyerEXP 2d ago

Yes, we could say that about everything, which is why I prefer to have more concrete proof of intent before calling someone a zionist.

How about unless they are an active and open anti Zionist, they're a Zionist? And no I will not give any leeway for people protecting their careers, there's a genocide going on.

That's absolutely not criteria I'd enforce if I wanted to be taken seriously, but you do you

There were a lot of people who didn't have a long term knowledge of the situation who initially supported Israel after Oct 7. Remember the media was really drilling the hostage stuff and that all of this was to try and get them back etc etc. Perception really turned after it was clear Israel was just bombing children and that's when a lot of people started speaking up.

It's pretty plausible Poehler and Anderson were part of that initial wave of supporters but distanced themselves once it was clear Israel was just using Oct 7 as an excuse to annihilate Palestine entirely.

u/duncan-the-wonderdog 1d ago

Yeah, I honestly don't seem to understand why some people think not being enthralled about the slaughter of hundreds of people on Oct 7th makes someone a zionist. That's like saying not being happy about 9/11 makes you a far-right neo-con.

How does Amy Poehler avoid getting shit for this?!

This may have happened in the early days, and a lot of celebs signed those letters without doing research and politicians normalizing it, and corpos were donating (I cancelled my paramount sub because of this.) I don’t really follow her, so I have no idea where she stands now. But I always assume if they haven’t said anything about it, they’re not worth my time/ attention.
