Liberals/collectivists are vindictive. Truism. An example.
An actor is blacklisted in local theater. He opposed bullying, intimidation and victimization. So, underhanded, he was never hired again in a particular market. Auditions are just that. You win or lose and go on. But in local theater sometimes, as in larger venues, you are asked to appear or you know the odds. Nothing.
Further, as an up and coming actor, sometimes one takes outside jobs. Waiting table comes to mind etc. An office temp job ended. The actor had an organizational mind and fixed a very messed up office filing system. The company was pleased and even gave him a goodbye party replete with some gifts.
Upon returning to the temp office, he was told by the head that he was cited for messing up the job. And when asked, she said someone had to take the blame. This woman was a friend of the woman the actor had dressed down, the teacher who bullied kids and covered her hubby's abuse of teen boys. Hmm.
The actor had appeared in a prominent role in a first rate theater. A tape was made of the play. He asked to borrow it, as some production people etc wanted to see his work. He was told the tape was missing. The artistic director was subject to funds that had to be approved by the same prof of ill repute. Also he was never hired by the director, even though praised and worked at the theater to help establish it along with his wife. They had been complimented as helping found the theater. The wife had even made soup for the director when he was sick and the director celebrated the couple's first birth. Money talks usw.
The actor, as usual for such folks, needed new headshots. A local guy who was quite good did a set. They were horrible. Looked like a ghost. Other work the photographer had done was good, flattering for the actors. Our blacklisted actor's were piquantly trash.
The photographer and his wife were friends of the aforesaid prof and hubby. Is there a pattern? Or is this just grousing by a 'disgruntled' artist?
One could come to one's own conclusions. Add the fact that in addition to the ill repute earned by the teaching couple, they had a history of vindictive behavior with others to the extent of attempting to ruin careers. Sounds like junior league versions of some politicians of historical level.
That they were liberal is, to me, a foregone conclusion Collectivism uses those same tactics. Deception, projection and coverup are daily M.O. for the scurrilous.
What happened to the actor? He rose above the fray and went to NYC/Hollywood and trained with real pros, even some liberals.
He was simply told by an ally that his views would be enhanced or encumbered, depending on the crowd. So it was and is.
At a local party, he had occasion to converse with a lady of immense talent, who had initially been trained by his wife's grandmother. This lady was a rising star. She married a man who was far less talented and was jealous of her. He coerced her to move back home, where he ran with the crowd of wannabes and big ducks in a small pond. He both allied and disparaged said crowd. Such is the nature of hell.
The lady advised the actor not to let them do to him, what they did to her.
He didn't let them.
