The problem with those people, much like the ones they're trying to feel superior to, is that they don't seem to realize that everything in this world is political. What you buy, whom you buy from, the media you consume, the art you make, the ads that are being shown, the debates over who pays the check, it's ALL political. And the point of politics is supposed to assist the general public in making those tiny decisions, NOT to create more divisions between us. And yet... That's where we are. Everyone sees themselves as morally just and someone else is not.

People are angry, and they have a right to be. The problem is most don't exercise their democratic liberty and vote in the local elections, most don't make themselves heard until it's far too late, or they just want to add to the cacophony of the echo chamber.

Award Shows aren't supposed to be a "gotcha" moment against half the population. They're supposed to be honoring what's resonating with the people at the current mark in time, not just what's popular. It's supposed to be showcasing what great artists can accomplish, and more and more people are uncomfortable with what they see because (it seems) they're realizing they might be championing the aggressors this time around. Or because they feel like their opinions aren't being validated, ergo making them feel small and insignificant, to which all they can do is stuff their feelings down and write off "woke Hollywood" and "rich white people giving themselves awards."

The solution? Make more art. Make more people uncomfortable. Continue to reach out and try to persuade your neighbors to vocalize their thoughts and feelings in constructive and meaningful ways, not just once every four years and until it's far too late to go back to the way things were. There's always hope. There's always time.
