Exactly, in the article he sees the problem but instead of using his money to help he fucks off to be safe. He may not be an asshole but he's a a bit cowardish for it I feel even if he can still help from NZ it's more likely he will just focus on his life there than try to put out the gordian garbage fire that is the US
Oh no, its well documented that he's a raging asshole. Fuck James Cameron.
Sorry sometimes I forget this isn't Reddit and I don't have to take pincers to criticize billionaires
Why does a canadian have an obligation to help the US?
He owns more wealth, property, and control of businesses in the US than well over 99% of Americans.
The most effective thing he can do it take that tax revenue out of the US. Now New Zealand and Canada will be reaping all the benefits of having him there
You think he pays taxes at the same rate as the rest of us losers?
Americans made their choice
Which countries do you think the mess will overflow into first? (Not to mention the ongoing global effects of the US dumpster fire)
Nationalism isn't a useful way to see the situation. It's everyone's problem, and those who have the wealth and influence to help are especially obliged to solve this.
Great argument! “Why should people that immigrate give a shit about any other country than their mother country?” Really good thinking there arguing for isolationism.
NZ is where bunkers are.
Yeah. And as a kiwi it kinda pisses me off that we let wealthy Americans in. I'd rather it was a generic visa program than a pay-to-play.
I mean, you can just put boulders over the bunker doors when they try hiding.
They going to fuck you next. Maybe you’ll get s taste of your allies saying you deserved it too. Great time on this planet.
100% I hear you! Whatever happened to Helen Clark btw?
Cameron will be forgotten once he leaves the Hollywood media bubble. He's never been politically influential, and his short intervals of fame relied solely on 2 movies. But his fame from Titanic and Avatar has mostly died out.
He could always make an anti-Trump film, and have the EU fund it.
He's an asshole
