going into the ukiss tag and there hardly being any posts on there makes me so sad. there used to be so much...the group that saved me during my intense depression in my teenage years is forgotten.

I am literally begging people to understand that LA is not filled with “rich elites”. It’s mostly filled with people just like me - people with extremely modest success in an industry they’ve probably been passionate about for their entire lives; people who work hard and grind every single day to have (or probably rent) a home in one of 2 cities the nation where their dreams even have a microscopic chance of becoming a reality. Actors whose names you wouldn’t recognize, screenwriters who are writing pilots that don’t get picked up, camera operators for mid tier reality shows, musicians who have had one song in the background of a commercial, makeup artists who get hired for a C-list celebrity red carpet appearance once in a while. Just ordinary fucking working people with dreams.

I don’t think it’s likely anyone who follows me agrees with the fucked up shit I’m reading atp, but as someone who lives in NYC for my career and could just as easily live in those neighborhoods in LA (and I have almost moved there many times), it’s so fucking difficult to read comments about “rich people” and categorize the entire entertainment industry - which is largely comprised of exciting but otherwise average trade jobs - as “out of touch elites whose houses deserve to burn” when it couldn’t be farther from the truth. To wish such horrible things and have so little empathy to people just like me. For my peers, and my colleagues, and my friends. To be reading unfounded disdain about them (and again by extension me and everyone like me) everywhere, and to have the struggles of my industry be this misunderstood, have who we are generalized this much, have people laughing or not caring that these working people are losing their homes, losing their dreams, having everything they’ve made happen for themselves reduced to rubble... it is the absolute worst shit fathomable. It is fucking crushing to a degree I cannot even describe.

So much this. Also. Sorry but I don’t think that anyone deserves to have their house, pets or family members burned. Having made a lot of money as an actor or director or whatever doesn’t magically make you not deserving of human rights or basic human decency nor does it automatically make you a bad person.

Making money in an unethical way or behaving unethically can make you a bad person, but simply having money doesn’t actually make you evil. (Also funny how people who post stuff about being rich making people evil never count themselves, even though often they are relatively privileged compared to other people; it’s always the people with more than them who count as rich and they never consider their own privileges.)

And even bad people deserve certain rights. That’s the whole idea of not allowing cruel and unusual punishment for criminals for example or making sure everyone gets a fair trial or having standards for humane treatment in prisons.

If you’re gleefully celebrating mass destruction and tragedy, the only person who is out of touch and lacking empathy is you.

#cannot believe we are at the point of saying 'you shouldn't laugh about mass suffering destruction and death'#also like. the point of making the world more equal is to make sure that MORE people have a better quality of life. not fewer.#seeing someone with a nice house should make you want to work for a time when EVERYONE has a nice house. not when no one does.
