Hollywood’s Most Decent Fella on Weinstein, Trump and History nyti.ms/2kGP9P2

1/ This such a great interview on many levels. I’m fascinated by his comments about #HarveyWeinstein.

2/ #HarveyWeinstein IS a despicable monster to say the least. I’m fascinated by his inner circle those that helped victimize his victims.

3/ Who are the men AND women who helped obfuscate right vs wrong, good vs evil... He built an infrastructure/foundation of complicity among

4/ those who knew him best & everyone went along with it like it was business as usual. We’re not a member of the “like economy” we’re too

5/ Pedestrian for all that and proud of that fact.

6/ “Why did Hollywood help shelter him, if everyone knew about the decades of abusive behavior?”

7/ “Well, that’s a really good question & isn’t it part & parcel to all of society somehow, that ppl in power get away w/ this?” Hanks says

8/ “What do you want from this position of power? I know all kinds of people that just love hitting on, or making the lives of underlings..”

9/ “underlings some degree of miserable, because they can. They think their achievements entitle them.”

“When you become rich and powerful, you become more of what you already are,” Hanks said.

We could not agree more.
