    The filthy rich don’t ever get any criticism, they are surrounded by servile sycophants.

    They pay people to go through their media accounts and erase every negative comment. Not even kidding, that’s a real job.

    So, they’re just a wee bit out of touch.

    This is what happens when you insulate yourself from reality, rich or poor; see Reddit for details.

    Imagine seeing another human begging for help and rather than doing anything about it you make a mockery of their situation to get a few laughs from your friends.

          Not really, he’s just a sell out. Always has been which is not surprising. Many hip-hop and pop stars are braindead sellouts that will chase the bag no matter what.

          Snoop was vocal against trump until he got crypto paycheck with no direct association which is just enough to justify selling out.

          We should be canceling all these fucking spineless shills - their art is not as valuable as the health of society. Surely we can replace Nicki Minaj or Snoop Dogg with other artists that pack at least some spine - none of this work is that important.

            He always was the whole entire time.

            He bragged about being a massive pos and people willingly gave him hundreds of millions of dollars for it.

            Being a wealthy teumptard pales compared to some of the other stuff.

              Sometimes it takes a good shakeup to see how fucked up everything that you’ve been putting up with has been. Really makes you look back and go oh god. The me too movement was/is that for a lot of people - for others, apparently it just went over their heads.

      If a regular person did a hobo costume, no one would care. I don’t think any rich person can get away with that without criticism.

    Are you fucking kidding me!? I kept looking because surely I’m missing something, right? But no, it’s just a rich, famous, out-of-touch white lady pretending to be unhoused as a super-hilarious goof. Oh, and one that’s hungry, too. It’s funny because it’s like she’s miserable because she has no food or clean clothes or shelter! Get it??? It’s even cringe that she uses a clipboard, instead of cardboard like every single person experiencing homelessness that has to beg to survive…

    Martha, I remember when your cheating of the system and exploiting everyone else was so blatant that your home was jail for 5 months.

        I recently setup IPTV and it’s like having Interdimensional Cable from Rick and Morty. Wanna know what’s on local Haitian television? You can! Wanna watch any/every PPV or ABC/NBC/FOX/CBS affiliate in the country? You can! It has it all and then some for like $50/year, I think? Between that and Stremio/Torrentio, no need for any subscriptions.

            As another user said, you can technically get it all for free, but I was looking for something simple I could get up-and-running on my parents’ Fire TV stick/living room TV, so I paid the $50 for a year of SacoTV: https://sacotv.com/

            I’m pretty sure it’s just one guy in Eastern Europe running the thing, so you have to be willing to be a little patient and potentially exchange a couple of messages, but it has honestly been just about as reliable as normal cable. Occasionally the EPG (channel guide) loses sync, but honestly, it has taken all of the pain out of watching any live sports, and it also includes a huge on-demand library that’s nearly competitive with Stremio. And they offer a free 24-hour trial, so there’s not much to lose. I like TiviMate as the app that handles it all. You just get TiviMate installed then punch in the server/login details they provide.

            There are tons of others out there, but I’m pretty sure a significant number are scams, so finding the actual provider is/was the hardest part.

            There’s a bunch of services that make it easy to use, streaming box and automatically updated streams so you don’t have to have any technical knowledge. They’re all technically black market and buying the subscription is often a weird process through WhatsApp, they’re very popular with international markets.

            I’m only familiar with two Arabic targeted ones (but they have all the American channels as well), Spider TV and HydraTV.

            I don’t use them, because 1 I don’t really watch live tv and 2 I’m not paying for something I can get for free.

            VLC + https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv

          Even so, I would still pirate shit.

          Paramount+ or whatever comes for free with me paying for my internet connection. I’ve never used it even once. Even if what I’m watching is available there legally and for free, I’d rather pirate it. Piracy is just a better user experience.

    Yep, that’s what rich people are genuinely afraid of. ffs.

    Her friends probably went as progressive politicians, minorities and protestors. Maybe, one got creative and went as government regulation.

    Reminds me of Mievilles article “on social sadism”:

    It occurred a little after the high point of the jocular pleb-sneer: two years, instead, into the eruption of the financial crisis, simultaneously with a historic peak in foreclosures. Nearly 2.9 million US properties had foreclosure actions against them initiated in 2010 – huge numbers improperly, even according to the system’s own rules – up 2 per cent from 2009, itself a record. Millions were fighting, and failing, not to lose their homes. These 2010 Halloween celebration occurred at the Buffalo, New York, law offices of Stephen J Baum, a specialist firm acting mainly for banks and lenders. It was what’s known as a ‘foreclosure mill’, the largest of its kind in the state: its expertise was evicting the poor.

    This wasn’t, then, some generalised, timeless jeer. It was more specific and pointed, gleeful malice at those whose lives were, at that very moment, being ruined, directed at them by those doing the ruining.

    In the photos, props embody favourite ideologemes of the rich: the booze, the misspelt signs denouncing the injustice. The homeless are drunkards; the homeless are stupid; the homeless take no responsibility. But these gestures are perfunctory; they make no attempt to convince. The anonymous former employee who leaked the images in 2011 did so aghast at what she called a ‘cavalier attitude’, but what’s on display is the opposite: not cavalier, but considered. She decried a ‘lack of compassion’, but what’s visible is a swaggering presence – of cruelty.

    ‘Will worke [sic]’, one sign reads, ‘for Food.’ The sign’s the prop of a comedian waiting for the laugh. The homeless are starving. We made them homeless and now they’re starving. Laugh laugh laugh laugh.

      Honestly, her stunt is what epitomises America in my eyes (and I wish it wasn’t so). So many wonderful things have come out of America, things that have made my life more liveable, such as a huge amount of wonderful music and movies.

      If she cared that much about the homeless, she’d have donated a decent sum of money or perhaps even more of impact would’ve come from volunteering at a soup kitchen for a week or even two perhaps.

      The clipboard is merely the icing on the gag, it’s so on the nose.
