“It’s easier to make excuses that the Jewish people conspired to hold you back then it is to admit that you just needed to work harder. It’s easier to hate than it is to learn… Nobody who has chosen the easy path of hate has gotten to the end of the road and said, ‘What a life.’ No. They die as miserably as they lived.”

He had me going in the first half of that headline. Felt like Arny was pulling the terminator out on the Nazis
TheMurderousCricket
When Arnie said "I'll be BACK", he meant this exact moment in history... ?

Full video in this link: https://variety.com/2023/film/news/arnold-schwarzenegger-antisemites-die-miserably-1235544479/ It's worth watching

Jesus i need my glasses on for imgur today. I read antihistamines... was like... wtf Arnie... they work so good for my allergies.

More then 60% of all religiously motivated hate crimes in the US are against Jews
Bhargo
I feel like the ad at the end kinda took away some of the weight, but still a good comment.
RoutemasterFlash
The 'More from Variety: Arnie still a bigot' bit in the middle is quite funny, although it seems he's since ditched the anti-gay position.
FreeRangeToast
Arnie is one of the few republicans that I can always agree with on some level, truly an inspirational individual
FreeRangeToast
honestly, “few” is probably an overstatement there…
NickRivieraMD
I dunno, I kinda hate the very rich and I think I'm pretty happy with it. It's not all personal responsibility.
CanisMaximus
yeah... until they stop being Nazis, Nazi Lives Don't Matter.
VindictiveBathToaster
The problem is, the people who are spreading the hate are getting endorphins from it and that’s a hard drug to quit.
bekindtoanimals
Exactly
Slimewire
That's just it. All the "why do Rs vote against their own interests" can be summed up as "habits and endorphins are hard to quit"
MajorPoopyPants
Phenomenal message. Reaching out personally instead of a punch in the face. Color me impressed and enlightened.
manulofdoom
Has he been declared an antifa by his party yet?
LuminoZero
Decades ago.

Arnold is far from perfect... and he's said and done some questionable things. But I think he TRIES to learn, and to be a better person.
paintingagency
... that's pretty important. And he shows us it's never too late to do these things.
SkamanSam
This dude is close to the republicans i remember. Dem or rep was once a much more difficult choice.
GerbilHereReportingLiveFromRichardGeresAss
The like/dislike ratio on that YT video is horrifying. We as humans have a lot of work to do.
PoRiverValley
The amount of antisemitic comments on the YT video is likewise horrifying.
Nuttsy
Aren't those speculative nowadays anyhow?
Hnetu
I think it's important. If we do not give hateful people a chance to learn, grow, apologize, and then be accepted back?
Hnetu
They're going to see no reason to even try in the first place and just dig their heels deeper into hate.
Speedmetal05
Hey Arnie, why are you still a Republican???
Walkingbillboard
There are a LOT of republicans who hold Goldwater ideals that reject the current direction of the party. You have to participate to fix it
ispendtomuchtimehere
Arnold has made some huge strides in this department and I appreciate it
bunnyishungry
He's pure awesome with an accent I had the hardest time understanding when I first start learning english.
spiceass9000
He’s a great man. Only governor I’ve had that I’ve been proud of
NappaTheFriendlyGhost
Reminds me of Luke. His would be wife hated him so much that her hate caused him pain when he first felt it. Trapped in a deadly forest with
NappaTheFriendlyGhost
Her, constantly being told she was gonna kill him, he denned her out and faithfully protected her as per the Jedi way. Mara Jade
redmangc
Then she fucks lando, and was like nah dawg that Farmboy got the schmeet
DakotaWolf
He won out by showing her what a Jedi was, rather than preaching rhetoric and demeaning her opinions. He just WAS a jedi and it worked.
NappaTheFriendlyGhost
Admiral thrown trilogy. Best side story on all of star wars.
ispendtomuchtimehere
oh yes, I agree
BenderRodriguezz
Paireon
And proud of it, bucko!
BaelKor
"side story"
KingXizor
I believe they mean the Redemption of Mara Jade, not The Expanded Universe.
TalkingSnake
The irony that US "patriots" have to be told this... by a man from Austria. Dear someone's fucking god are stupid is our reality.
anitabieror6
what? sorry i read that second sentence like 12 times and I just don't comprehend it
TalkingSnake
*dear someone’s fucking god is our reality stupid
GrandPubabofMoldistan
I mean they already listen to one guy from Austria, maybe they will listen to a second
Leonon
Austria knows a thing or two about what happens when you let antisemites run amok.
Paireon
Yeah because they still tend to vote for far-right parties lately. This is why Germany having strong anti-hate legislation is good.
DevineEscapes
Not just US patriots--haters and excuse makers the world over, from all backgrounds.
TalkingSnake
Anyone defending Netanyahu today…

That Austria man has more american patriotism in his little finger than half of the MAGA crowd
ProphetofEntropy
cause unlike them, he can tell between patriotism and blind nationalism.
Bhargo
half? all man, the maga crowd is as unpatriotic as you can get
A1ekazam
I'd argue the whole Maga crowd at this point. After reading Arnold's book I've got nothing but respect for the man.
Zestykitten
Yep. The American spirit is literally about welcoming strangers. The best people to embody this spirit are, ironically, non-natives

It's almost as if it's because they didn't grow up indoctrinated in bullshit lies as a child. The amount of shive I've learned over the last

Amount of shit* Thanks autocorrect.

few years alone about the history of America that is conveniently skimmed over or straight up not included in school text is enough for a

Full years of class study, if not more.
