I haven't provided a clip of him NOT talking about drugs because that is such a dumbfuck statement.as to not warrant a real response but if you insist;

https://youtu.be/xeLuvhCurfk

Gosh he just can't shut up about them can he? Actually he can and most of the time he isn't talking about drugs. Shocker.

OBVIOUSLY at the point of being a film star he was no longer working class. Jesus. I've never said he is CURRENTLY working class, but he is not Working Class in income only. And because Working Class is an amorphous social group, he has more of a claim to it than many other people. Therefore he is a working class man from Essex who became rich and famous. I think you're the one who needs to go to school if you need it spelt out for you so laboriously. His mannerisms and experience and outward appearance are a result of his working class upbringing, money doesn't suddenly give you an RP accent and a Habsburg's Jaw.

OBVIOUSLY

No, you haven't proven that at all. Being from a single parent household does not make you working class. Being born in Essex does not make you working class.

You're just making shit up, son

So a single mother with no qualifications living in Grays, a grim Essex town and raising her son by herself is what? Middle class? I don't know why you're so desperate to gatekeep being poor.

I don't know why you're so desperate to suck his dick

I've not said anything positive about him, but OK. At least you've admitted you were wrong.

[–] z00s@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You sure love making shit up when you can't provide an actual argument

[–] Sunfoil@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can just make shit up. The reality is literally written down above these messages.
