It’s always surprising when someone we think aligns with progressive values turns out to have more conservative views. For example, many people assumed that celebrities and public figures in the entertainment industry, who often advocate for progressive causes, would also hold similar views in their personal lives. A notable instance was when a well-known actor, who campaigned for social justice and environmental issues, was found to have business ties that were deeply connected to industries harmful to those very causes. It was a wake-up call that highlighted the complexity of public personas versus personal beliefs, reminding us to look deeper than surface-level activism. Have you come across similar examples?
