Who knew that Elvis Presley was wearing a Nazi symbol on his capes in concerts.

Nolte: Oliver Stone Rips Hollywood as ‘Too Fragile, Too Sensitive’

Three-time Oscar-winner Oliver Stone told the far-left New York Times he’s no longer “anxious” to make movies in a Hollywood that’s “too fragile, too sensitive,” and “like an Alice in Wonderland tea party.”

The Times interviewed Stone to promote the release of the 73-year-old director’s upcoming memoir, Chasing the Light. The outspoken Stone admits that after a near-15 year run of films that captured the zeitgeist and drove the national conversation, those days are over. But he also admitted, in so many words, that there is no real place for him in mainstream Hollywood anymore, that the industry’s “politically correct [expletive]” means he is no longer welcome.

OLIVER STONE: The problem is in Hollywood. It’s just so expensive — the marketing. Everything has become too fragile, too sensitive. Hollywood now — you can’t make a film without a Covid adviser. You can’t make a film without a sensitivity counselor. It’s ridiculous.

I think noone would ever accuse Stone of being a conservative, but I respect that he has a brain to think for himself, unlike most of the left.

It seemed like an innocuous thing beans. The latest victim in a never ending culture war that had committed the sin of briefly praising whoever happened to be the US president, Goya Foods was surely not long for this world. The Gods of Culture had decreed it so. The same heartless demon that prevented thousands of jobs from coming to New York now complained about New Yorkers having no jobs to make money "to buy bread." Twitter, the word of God to some, had also condemned Goya and removed any positive message about it from their platform. But something amazing happened. The CEO of Goya Foods would not apologize for doing nothing wrong. He knew doing so would only doom Goya. He doubled down, and the American people backed him.

Americans are sick of cancel culture. They're sick of people that don't care about them making calls to boycott businesses that cost real Americans jobs. They're sick of having people tell them that they are wrong and need to change. It isn't about Trump or any one political party. It's about returning to a time when discussion was possible without calling to cancel people and their livelihoods. It's about being able to talk about what the people want instead of what big tech companies deem appropriate.

It's about being able to take pride in being an American and telling people that would shame you for doing so to go to Hell.

That's why I support Goya. One of the many reasons. Rarely does a hill come along worth dying on. This may be one of those times.

Are they though? Or are you just sick of it because your team seems to be on the business end of the backhand more than not?

You support a President who is going out of his way to propagate identity politics and divide. Unanue planted his flag, which is his right - now American's can decide if their personal values are in line with those that run that company, which is their right.

If you insert yourself into the public arena you must be willing to live with the consequences.

By that rationale you think it's a good think JFK and MLK were murdered. Typical.
