#Like if you actually have a case against Hollywood maybe release an official statement detailing who did it

If you were a leader of a political party, wanting to spread outlandish conspiracy theories in a convincing way; who would you choose to be your “whistleblower?” Who would be the best person to tug on heartstrings and engage the emotions of the general populous before their brains can catch up to realize nothing they’re saying makes any sense?
I know who I’d get for the job. I’d hire an experienced A-list actor, preferably one who’s been blacklisted for prejudice against the minority group being targeted, so as to make my cause look like a victim of persecution rather than the persecutor it actually is.
Reciting lies that sound like something out of a dystopian horror film is something the actor is used to doing, and they’ll do it flawlessly. A politician can’t spout conspiracy theories without it being obvious that they have an agenda. An actor, on the other hand, would be more relatable than a politician. People love the characters they’ve played, and will be more likely to listen if they start telling a dramatic, but nebulous story that sounds like the plot of a movie they’d star in. The actor is then viewed as a sympathetic protagonist, rather than a flawed human who has ulterior motives to cause harm to a minority group.
Just saying.
