  • Others have responded to you with part of what I wanted to bring up, but I also have another aspect to add to the rationale. These nepo babies aren’t just inheriting access and opportunities, but also a wealthy and comfortable upbringing. The child of a multimillionaire actor/musician/athlete not only has the inroads of their parents’ network and reputation, but also access to premium diets, exercise, doctors, schools, coaches, etc AND didn’t have to worry about getting a job at Chipotle or whatever while in high school or right after, and definitely didn’t have to balance that in order to help their family with bills.

    It’s a lot easier to get into Hollywood when your parents are already famous, but that really only gets you the auditions. Being able to work on honing your craft for 40+ hours per week without becoming homeless, going hungry, or losing sleep is a motherfucking luxury. I rarely get to practice guitar anymore because my job is so taxing both mentally and physically, so I’ll probably never get better, so access to a producer still wouldn’t really help me to win out over a nepo baby. They could truly be the greatest of their generation because they were able to and encouraged to perfect their skills for their craft without having to spend their time on literally anything else.



  • That’s just ridiculous. You don’t think that we’re spending tax dollars on bullets and bombs to kill brown people in our own land? Look up the 1985 MOVE bombing and any one of the countless events where a cop shot an unarmed law-abiding minority. We don’t need to go somewhere else to kill brown people when we have perfectly good brown people at home. Not endorsing it btw, just pointing out the fucked up thing that my country regularly does while somehow still trying to claim with a straight face that we’re not racist and “this isn’t who we are” every time we do this thing we keep doing…
