…gives a pass to the gangsters in Goodfellas?

Commie freaks like Mark Kermode get on their moral high-horses about Belfort (he objected to how glamorously the film portrayed Belfort’s hedonistic lifestyle) but they’re fine with the serial murder and brutality of psychotic gangsters.

I know Leftists who share the same view, they fucking hate Belfort and his team of money-flush fun-loving Wall Street brokers, yet the relentless robbery, violent battery and murder committed by Henry Hill and Tommy etc are cool. The hypocrisy stinks.

Leftists are filled with bitter envy for the wealthy and are very comfortable with extreme violence.

Before TWoWS there was just Walt Street and the whole “greed is good”, “the 80s were the decade of greed”.

It was laughable. Big tech is more greedy and corrupt than anything Wall Street has ever done. We never hear how greed the 90s - today are despite the fact they’re much worse. Microsoft epitomizes the greed with their lack of innovation but always have a new way to force people to pay for their same old Office suite, Windows 437 etc…

Jordan Belfort looks like a saint compared to big tech scumbags like Zuckerberg, or your average demonic CNN anchor, or even the vast majority of Wall Street shysters who brought about the 2008 crash.

Leftists who celebrate the people who tried to murder Donald Trump will castigate a white collar crook like Belfort. The moral confusion is astounding.
