Moviemaker Terry Gilliam’s recent interview with the Independent would be funny if his comments on America’s rancid culture of privileged victimhood weren’t so depressing in their accuracy.
“I’m talking about being a man accused of all the wrong in the world because I’m white-skinned,” he says. “So, I better not be a man. I better not be white.”
He must have paid very close attention to the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
Like every other political battle in America, the fight over Kavanaugh’s appointment was about who deserves what based on their race, gender, and sexuality — their “privilege.”
It’s happening right now in the Democratic presidential primary. Liberals are upset that the next debate will almost certainly be missing every racial minority, even though their own voters are to blame for it.
“We’re living in a time where there’s always somebody responsible for your failures, and I don’t like this,” Gilliam said during his interview. “I want people to take responsibility and not just constantly point a finger at somebody else, saying, ‘You’ve ruined my life.'”
Sorry, Gilliam. That’s the new American way of life.
