    People don’t like Kevin Spacey very much. I dunno, seems like that’s already been decided.

    I am aware that you’ve only ever seen the word “morally” in Mein Kampf, apparently.

      Let me ask you directly, do you think morality should be decided by majority opinion or popularity?

      What if majority opinion is decided by emotional manipulation by those with the most money and power to own all the channels of speech and can produce the most convincing and manipulative speech? Or my algorithms that reward “polarization”?

      Kevin Spacey played questionable characters and villains amazingly well. His art remains without question despite most people feeling disgusted watching him now.

        My man, if you could not find anyone who liked Kevin Spacey’s work, then there’d be no one to say he was any good—it’s a self-answering question.

        It is, they’re currently burning the world down for fun, and I don’t like it.
