Most people want to be good people deep down, or at the very least they want to be recognized as good people. Most of these stars and politicians want to be seen as good people either for a sense of validation, support either at the box office or the voting booth or they just want to go down as someone who stood up for the right things. For the stars, its all about reputation. They campaign against climate change yet ride in private jets; advocate for refugees and yet most of their multiple private properties remain empty for most of the year; they champion women’s rights and then we find out they’re raging racists, sexists, jerks ect behind the scenes.
Politicians, conversely, say whatever will make them look good in the polls and in the history books. Most think anout how kids will look at them 100 years from now either in school or when browsing wikipedia. Realism within politics is dead in all but, ironically enough, the most totalitarian/one party states like China and Russia. Everywhere else, it is everyone trying to appear the most accepting and tolerant of everykne and everything around them which has led to the rise of the current refugee crisis and the west’s newly reaquired hedonistic culture as well.
