How insane - Fry discussing free speech and communications and debates AND.... CBC shut off the comments on their YouTube. [shakes head in disbelief]
Fry's a wonderful actor, and clearly spends a lot of time devoted to being a good actor, and this is clear when he talks about other issues, as he's apparently not spent the same amount of time on them, and he often comes across as clueless/gullible/indoctrinated.
In this video Fry mentions 1/ Trump, and 2/ "Bill Clinton and Tony Blair" being the complete opposite.
LOL
Fry's always like this, it's hilarious, because of the type of acting he does you expect him to be an expert, but then you find out the actor's actually not an expert, and has been prey to indoctrination like much of The Public. Many Brits listen to the BBC as gospel, not questioning why The Conservatives are allowed to spew lies on TV unchecked - Fry probably doesn't even notice this.
Anyway... Bill Clinton and Blair were part of the Neo Liberal One Party, Right shift on politics. Trump. Clinton and Blair are essentially all pushing the same type of politics. Unregulated Capitalism for the rich. Trump making it more of a dictatorship.
Fry must spend all his time in establishment circles uttering establishment small talk, with no awakening to the deeper view of what politicians, parties, and other entities are doing.
I haven't heard much from non acting Stephen Fry, but almost every time I have he's sounded clueless. Of course, we know he can learn, so hopefully he does - unless his cluelessness is PROPAGANDA?
