Russell Crowe’s Confusing Twitter Rant

It has something to do with privacy, education and who owns twitter? How Jodie Foster of him!

I know, right? Now tell your friends!
Russell Crowe's Confusing Twitter Rant
Lauren Yapalater

The story begins here….

You know the old saying...? If you can't say anything positive, don't say anything at all....f**k me , that's a hard ask

Sydney Daily Venal Telegraph ran a bs story based on an email from a source they don't know, but because it was hatred fuelled they ran it

In Australia, we don't have privacy laws...we do however have laws that preclude you from publicly humiliating an individual

Lawyers?researchers? comb through 25 years of BS, print anything shit by the Telegraph 2 prove they don't do news but they do humiliation ?

Fight back. F**k humiliation as news. F**k denial of climate change. F**k hatred over EDUCATION...Media should not be the enemy of progress

Understand this, the things and people you think you hate are more likely to be opinions fed to you by the media than actual knowledge

Understand this, Education is the most valuable tool that humanity has

INTERMISSION

ACT 2:

"The People" don't own anything, not dignity, not privacy...not your power source, not your opinion, currently human rights = nothing

FIN.

      I posted this in reply on a messageboard: Listen, I hear you all, and I feel for maryam and hope her feelings aren’t badly hurt, but you longtimers know that Russell does not like the over-effusive gushing or to be put on a pedestal. I think he tried to gently tell her that with his first tweet but clearly she didn’t understand it. The second was more direct but he didn’t say “Get a f*cking life” like he has done a couple of times in the past at concerts and his response wasn’t as harsh as he gives to some of the people who troll him. maryam is an innocent, I know, but she still tweets a dozen or so times a day with perhaps sincere but over-effusive praise and love, and it’s love for some fantasy Russell/Maximus, not the real human being we know, the one who can kind and generous but who can also be sharp tongued at times. I’m sorry it was directed at her but at other times he has just blocked people who clog his stream with nothing but I Love You Russells etc., either too much hate or too much ‘love’ can cause a blockage, so to speak, lol. As Fiddle says, and as Russell has said so many times, tweet me something interesting, tweet me something about yourself, he’s interested in talking to people, not hearing nothing but Maximus quotes tweeted to him, or perhaps sincere but OTT praise and adoration. I’ve thought at times of saying something to maryam about ins & outs of Twitter but I didn’t know what to say. There were other people who got a little sharp tongue yesterday, including longtimer and my friend, secretariat, who jumped in early when she thought music was the focus of the convo and didn’t realize that he was going to be ranting on the media. Some lady got blocked when she said something snarky about the phone incident, then seemed surprised. Sure, there was a moment or two when I wanted to tell him to just step away from the computer and take a walk or something but I didn’t. secretariat and I both tweeted him an FYI about a crap site who were obviously following his stream yesterday as they posted a couple of the media rant tweets in less than one hour after he had posted them.  I think a lot of people who follow Russell don’t bother to read his tweet stream, I hope you all know you don’t see his whole stream just by reading your own timeline. You don’t see all his tweets unless you click on his name and then click on All. It also appears that there are a good many people who just think they’re having a two way convo with him and don’t read the tone of the convo or don’t care, just blithely step in their with their tweet, be it a good one or a nasty one. One guy who got blocked yesterday stated afterwards he was just joking around and thought he was talking to a ‘bot’ not the real Russell Crowe. So there are innocents, like maryam, there are a lot of great tweeters (luckily the majority) and there are also a lot of assholes who are nasty just for the sake of being nasty. He’s human, like the rest of us, and I’m sure we’ve all said things we wish we hadn’t or been rude to someone at some point, and we don’t have over 750,000 followers streaming both gushing love and hate-filled epithets at us 24/7. He was obviously overtired yesterday and should have stepped away from the computer but he didn’t.

      He is such a freaking douchebag that’s why he is hated! And he ain’t Aussie! We don’t want him.

      It IS confusing when one has watched Crowe humiliate followers on Twitter. Or block people whose only Sin is disagreeing politely with his view. As part of this same meltdown he was intolerably rude to a lady who posts from Iran and who connects his fans there. Her only sin was that she praised him in rather grand terms, largely because English is not her first language. His response? Told her she was talking BS. Nice.
      Crowe is only interested in the media, and everyone else, dancing to his tune. He even calls his followers his ‘seeds’ and talks of weeding his garden. Maybe he should not drink while tweeting. In Vino Veritas and all that.

      It’s not actually that confusing, though it’s rare to see a celebrity telling us NOT to pay attention to the media.

      “Understand this, the things and people you think you hate are more likely to be opinions fed to you by the media than actual knowledge”
      THAT one statement is not confusing at all. It is actually the most sane message I’ve seen put out there but a celebrity as of late.
