based Ed Harris our FUCKING guy dude holy shit he wasnt having any of that even one little bit

Can I get some context? Is it just a case of
>commies reeeeeeee
?

That's because he's a commie sympathizer. And so is Beatty, but at least he has the decency to stand and clap for this great talent.

The Academy was honoring Elia Kazan with a lifetime achievement award, but he had named names of communists in Hollywood in the 50's, and so people were sitting in protest.

communists are stupid, no need to read further then that

The old guy is a commie from what I understand and the people who are sitting are protesting against communism because of all the death it caused

Thanks for the explanation. Got kind of mixed feelings about the reactions. Sure, he's a rat, but who knows what the circumstances were.

What do you mean he's a rat? If anything he was a patriot, doing God's work. Fuck communism

Isn't it strange how the times have changed? Back then you can get someone fired by stating they had sympathies for communism. Now if you so much as mach a right wing tweet they fire you

yeah, that's why leftists like Meryl Streep and Warren Beatty were applauding

So there are still commies in Hollywood.
Big surprise.

He was kind of just acting according to the standard at the time. How was he supposed to know he was just following blind ideology, he just picked the one that would eventually turn around

Communists were the jihadists of the 20th century
Fuck off sympathizers

>Kazan
>"""Greek"""
Being a cryptojew is too easy

You know perfectly well nobody would think that of (((hollywood))). Ever.

>All these Zoomers here not understanding the issue

It's barely about communism. One of Kazan's most famous films is an adaption of a socialist work. It's because he just named people he had personal grudges with and the whole thing was a witch hunt that could ruin someones life just because they identified as a communist for a summer 20 years ago.

The people sitting weren't standing up for communism, they were against actors having their livelihoods taken away based on some some personal beliefs

>defending snitches

>Communism
>personal "belief"
are you retarded?

???

isn't it funny that mccarthy was villianized when there literally were communists, communist sympathizers, and communist spies in hollywood, the media, and government

look at that kike nose

Retarded kulak.

This.

McCarthy was right ALL ALONG.

I'm a commie but I wanna fuck Elia's granddaughter, so I'm saying naming names was BASED and Ed Harris is CRINGE.

Americans are pathetic, they brag about their freedom then are the first to jump to soviet level of censorship, spying and killing.

>were

"communism" can just be something as simple as wanting more worker rights. Not all of them were planning a revolution

Based Ed Harris
>if you disagree with me you're a commie
He helped with the blacklist
"""communists"""
aka: people slightly liberal/progressive

Also Nick Nolte too

user Communism is not a personal belief it is a political belief one based around class war and removing ownership from the people.
Communism was not just a boogie man or a the trials a witch hunt. There are well documented attempt of foreign governments trying to inject Communist ideals into the United States.

Alright, so, hum, can an american explain to an outsider how, in a country with the first amendment as a founding principle, people's life were destroyed by government's intervention because of their political ideas?

He's villanized because he was incredibly incompetent. Instead of sniffing out real spies, he allowed any idiot with a grudge to ruin other people's lives by just accusing them of being commies, no evidence required.

>"communism" can just be something as simple as wanting more worker rights
>"""communists"""
>aka: people slightly liberal/progressive
Is that what your university professor told you or did you read that in some "literature".

And they succeeded, by moving on from class warfare to modern intersectional bullshit. I mean everything hollywood obsesses over like social justice, racism and political correctness are communist ideals. They won.

>bawww I can't segregate people based on color and treat them badly! communism won!

Good, the only good commie's a dead commie.

>first amendment
Covers religion, peaceful gathering, and expressing issues with government. It doesn't protect active coercion and the spread of political ideals that would cause discourse.
There were communist spys and outside governments trying to entice Americans and racial groups to their side.
Look up how the communist party of America tried to get blacks to join them but were beat out by the socialist party which then branched into their own black ran groups.

>be commie
>be condescending towards the lower class

>segregation bad
Because shit sucked in the Jim Crow south doesn't mean it was bad by default.
Communities ran by and policed by their own did better before they were forced to integrate.
Latino, Japanese, Chinese, communities did well in the New York and west coast. Then they had outsiders come in and things changed and not always for the better.

>it's okay when the KKK did it

>Snake Pliskin clapping for a fucking commie
WTF Snake??

Stop with the snark faggot.
The KKK just like communists hid themselves from any government body that tried to step it. And just like commies they took root in local government making it difficult to just go in and remove them.
I feel like all your history knowledge come from movies and highly censored textbooks.

Must be a genetic relation or something

Good. Fuck communists.

And it can and has led to millions of people duing from starvation.

>blaming the system not the people

What's funny is "McCarthyism" has pretty much vanished from usage after KGB file releases showed the majority of those accused were in fact guilty

It's good to know Capitalism is perfectly fine in your book then, since all it's flaws are from people distorting and obstructing the free market.

Everyone who didn't clap was in the wrong.
Yes. Elia Kazan rightly ratted on genuine card carrying communist party members and anyone who doesn't support that is a traitor.

That is correct

the communist, americas boogyman

Kazan was raised in the Greek Orthodox religion, and attended Greek Orthodox services every Sunday, where he had to stand for several hours with his father. His mother read the Bible but did not go to church. When Kazan was about eight years old, the family moved to New Rochelle, New York, and his father sent him to a Roman Catholic catechism school because there was no Orthodox church nearby.[22]

these days you get arrested and thrown in jail just for saying you're english

Except he also added in false names and false accounts of people he had it out for and used the red scare to put himself up once he saw the communism he believed in wasn't going anywhere. Snake deserved the protest honestly

Not true. Every person he named was a communist, and not only that, the committee already had all of their names anyway. Kazan just confirmed them.

Prove it faggot

>he had named names of communists
So he was naming whoever he wanted to, knowing that the government was looking for heads to roll
>you're a communist, you're also a communist, oh my God, everyone is a communist! In the meantime lemme take care of your business while you resign
Yeah, fuck this cunt

Because he had realized in the time that passed what an insidious and evil ideology communism was, and it had to be rooted out. The man was a hero.

i cant stand this anti semitism
