“This is so eerie… a bunch of rich folk trying to relate to the average person.” As a Celebrity Reporter, I cover everything from fashion and award shows to TV, film, and cultural conversations. Poppy went on to call capitalism the “greatest evil in the world.” And in response to people who critique her for still enjoying “nice things,” the actor said, “Yes, I do, and also, I would be OK [without it] if it meant that more people in the world could live without oppression.” Meanwhile, Bob The Drag Queen quipped, “We’re in late-stage capitalism, so if you don’t love it, it’s almost over.” And finally, Jason Ritter called out the “unfairness” of a capitalistic system, while Melissa Haas questioned, “Why are we all grinding? Why are we all working so hard to make money? For who? Who is this for?” “All of them benefitting from it buuut trying to gaslight us into thinking they are going through the struggle lmfao,” one comment read. “I know they’re allowed to be critical of the system but even asking this question at a red carpet for the entertainment industry is so tone deaf,” another user said. “these celebrities hating on capitalism while going to these big events and wearing expensive stuff just to show off and doing actively nothing to promote anti-capitalism feel very performative, they say this kind of stuff just to get attention, approval and sympathy by fans, they don't really believe in the stuff they say and if they do they don't really do anything to act on their beliefs,” another comment read.
