| | | Seth Rogen’s Attempt to Downplay Brazen Crime in Los Angeles Blows up in His Face: ‘Champagne Socialist’
Critics said that Rogen's dismissive response highlighted just how privileged he is: that he is rich enough that he doesn't need to worry about crime. Others pointed out the irony of Rogen saying his car has been broken into 15 times while at the same time downplaying crime levels in Los Angeles.
"Defending the quality of life in your city by referencing the 15 times your car was broken into and the possibility that you may get a free weapon left by a criminal, is not the defense you think it is. Nobody should accept lawlessness," one person said."ah, yes, the millionaire is not bothered, so the rest of us don't bother as well. Check your bubble, Seth," another person responded."When people talk about celebrities being disconnected from the reality of normal people, this is what they are talking about, @Sethrogen. I get it, you're trying to be Mr. Nice Guy, but you're really being Mr. Snootypants," one person said."Dude, that is not normal, having your car broken into. To average people, a car is the second most valuable asset they own, and yes that is a violation," another person pointed out."Must be nice to have this kind of privilege," one person mocked."Ah, celebrities. Claims that their ridiculous levels of wealth mean they're completely out of touch are nonsense. After all, we all agree our car getting stolen as a big nothing. No financial conseqs to our lives at all. Just get another one, easy! It's called 'living in a city'!" another person mocked."As a champagne socialist, @Sethrogen recognizes that his limousine in Malibu belongs to the people. A guy who breaks into his car is an undocumented chauffeur," another person said."Say you're so wealthy you're completely disconnected from common people without telling me you're so wealthy you're completely disconnected from common people," another person responded."Imagine being so rich and privileged you can afford not to be worried if your car gets broken into," another person mocked. |
