From Alec Baldwin to rapper Travis Scott, showbiz elites have fallen from grace in spectacular fashion, taking their sham moral authority with them.<\/p>\n<p>Hollywood stars thrive on their ability to lecture the American public on what is right and wrong. As elite brigades in the culture wars, they have outsize influence, especially over children. But five recent controversies serve as cautionary tales of left-wing hubris gone awry.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>In some cases, bad behavior and carelessness have exposed the emptiness beneath their righteous posturing. In other instances, woke overreach has pitted blue against blue, as in the case with the controversy over Dave Chappelle, whose Netflix special <em>The Closer<\/em> has revealed the unhinged nature of the leftist cancel mob.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, they leave you with a feeling of revulsion at Hollywood elitism and the culture it represents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2021\/10\/21\/alec-baldwin-accidentally-shot-and-killed-female-cinematographer-injured-director-on-movie-set\/\">Alec Baldwin shooting incident<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>As one of Hollywood\u2019s most vocal anti-gun activists, Baldwin spent years demonizing the Second Amendment and the National Rifle Association.<\/p>\n<p>His involvement in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the indie western&nbsp;<em>Rust<\/em> is being called a tragic form of karma. The NRA offers gun safety courses around the country, a fact that Baldwin passed over in his many diatribes against the organization.<\/p>\n<p>The apparently careless manner in which the on-set firearm was handled points to Baldwin\u2019s fundamental hypocrisy when it comes to guns \u2014 he is happy to lecture law-abiding gun owners but appears to have failed his own crew when it came to basic safety.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Devastated Alec Baldwin snaps at wife Hilaria when she interrupts impromptu press conference\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3d81aQSkYBg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"video-src-attr\">ahawkins <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>2.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2021\/11\/12\/travis-scott-lawyer-says-rapper-did-not-know-what-was-going-on-at-astroworld\/\">Rapper Travis Scott\u2019s deadly Astroworld Music Festival<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Rapper Travis Scott reportedly attended a party the same night as the fatal stampede at his Astroworld Music Festival in Houton, Texas.

The comedian is no stranger to controversy, but the&nbsp;2SLGBTQIA+ cancel mob appears to have taken things too far for even the left-wing Netflix, which has defended Chappelle and has so far refused to accede to its demands to yank the special.<\/p>\n<p>The blue-on-blue civil war points to the growing unpopularity of the transgender agenda among left-wingers, and the growing feeling that the&nbsp;2SLGBTQIA+ community\u2019s mafia tactics are alienating people of all political stripes. The Chappelle controversy has unmasked the movement for who they really are \u2014 cultural authoritarians who want to control what you see and think.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18794562\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" readability=\"38\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/activists-supporters-gathered-at-netflix-building-los-angeles-protest-company-handling-of-lat.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18794562 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/activists-supporters-gathered-at-netflix-building-los-angeles-protest-company-handling-of-lat.jpeg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Activists protest in support of the Netflix transgender employee walkout in Los Angeles, California, on October 20, 2021, in response to anger over Dave Chappelle\u2019s Netflix comedy special \u201cThe Closer.\u201d (FREDERIC J.
