There isn't an argument, you called him the fakest piece of shit around and then suggested he was some kind of privileged upper class toff pretending to be an Essex urchin. But the obvious reality is he presents himself as he is. You chose the dumbest attack you could have. Attack his politics or something.

Nope, you need to work on your reading comprehension. You'll think youve won every time if all you do is straw man.

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

Presumably you're not providing anything substantive like a point or evidence because you know you chatted shit with nothing to back it up.

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

Lol presumably you're ignoring the actual argument because you can't handle being wrong

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

You said he wasn't working class. He was. You said he is a drug addict. He isn't. You said all his material is about drugs, it obviously isn't. Just saying falsehoods isn't an argument.

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

Working class film star? You don't seem to understand what that actually means.

You couldn't find a clip of him not talking about drugs.

Your argument amounts to "nuh uh". Go on now, time to get ready, the school bus is on its way

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

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

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

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.

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

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

[–] Sunfoil@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
