The actress Selma Blair appeared in Cruel Intentions<\/em>, Legally Blonde<\/em>, The Sweetest Thing<\/em>, and other movies, but on a fateful day in February 2024, she discovered what it was like to be a dissident in a totalitarian state. The totalitarian state in which she lived is known as Hollywood, and it turned its back on her and ended her career after she dared to depart from the party line on the overall wonderfulness of the left\u2019s favorite religion, Islam. She has apologized profusely since then, but her career has not revived. Totalitarian states are not known to be forgiving.The Hollywood Reporter stated<\/a> Friday that \u201cthe veteran star said she lost her entire career and the team that supported it \u2014 talent agency CAA, a manager of 30 years, a lawyer and personal and book publicists \u2014 in the wake of leaving a comment widely criticized as anti-Islamic under a video posted by immigration reform advocate Abraham Hamra.\u201dNo forgiveness was available: \u201cThough she apologized, Blair noted it wasn\u2019t enough and not only did she lose that team but also brand deals, payment for a supposed Super Bowl advertisement, her son\u2019s godmother and more. So much that, she says, she came to learn \u2018what erased feels like.\u2019\u201dGeorge Orwell ably encapsulated the left\u2019s desire to obliterate its enemies, and give the impression that they never existed, in 1984<\/em>. People who fell out of favor with the state were \u201cnonpersons.\u201d Old news items that mentioned \u201cnonpersons\u201d were sent down the \u201cmemory hole\u201d and incinerated, and a new version of history concocted to take their place. And so in Hollywood<\/a>, Selma Blair, having expressed views that dissented from leftist orthodoxy, no longer existed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe brands I worked with were gone within a day,\u201d Blair recounted. \u201cA few partnerships I\u2019d spent years building were shelved. My agency was gone. My lawyer was gone. My publicist was gone. My book agent was gone. My book publicist was gone. My social media manager was gone. My son\u2019s godmother was gone \u2013 my best friend. While some friends in the business quietly stood by me, most of them were gone. And of course, my manager, my supposed friend of 30 years, and a Jew, was gone too. I still don\u2019t know what any of them were thinking. No one returned my calls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once the inevitable outrage mob got going, Blair hastily backtracked, saying: \u201cIn my comment, I mistakenly and inadvertently conflated Muslims with Radical Islamists and fundamentalists, a terrible err [sic] in my words and resulted in hurting countless people I never meant to, and I deeply regret this. As soon as my error was brought to my attention, I deleted the comment.\u201d<\/p>\n

That certainly toed the standard line, although there was a glaring logical hole in her statement, and in that conventional wisdom as a whole: \u201cRadical Islamists and fundamentalists\u201d do not magically become non-Muslims because they don\u2019t conform to the West\u2019s fantasies about Islam being a religion of peace. They are as Muslim as other Muslims, and indeed, they base their appeal to the larger Muslim community upon their claim to be authentically following the teachings of the Qur\u2019an and Muhammad.<\/p>\n

Blair\u2019s self-incrimination statement continued: \u201cHate and misinformation are amplified so easily these days. This time by my own hands. In this instance, I erred in my writing and I fully recognize how I contributed to the Muslim community being understandably very upset. I respect and love all peace-loving communities, all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, all right. But what if she was right the first time? Should the U.S. not deport \u201cterrorist supporting goons<\/a>\u201d? All Islamic countries are authoritarian regimes, with the partial and diminishing exception of Turkey, and all are economic failures except those that have struck oil. So is it not at least arguably true that \u201cIslam has destroyed Muslim countries and then they come here and destroyed minds\u201d?<\/p>\n

But Blair wasn\u2019t interested in defending her own statement, so I won\u2019t do so here. She was just trying to stave off ostracism and professional ruin. \u201cIn February of 2024,\u201d she said recently, \u201cjust mere months after Oct. 7, I posted a comment online. It offended people, and I did apologize right away. No conditions, no fine print. I meant it then and I mean it now, and I\u2019m leaving the comment there, because the comment was not the story. I\u2019m not up here for sympathy. I know I\u2019ve had a lucky life, and I\u2019m working again. And of course we know that life is better now than it was then. I have a team now I\u2019d walk through fire with. It\u2019s small, and it is my team. I want you to know that before I tell you the part that isn\u2019t better. It left a mark.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mark, she said, was that her son suffered with her: \u201cThe fear got into me, and fear is contagious in a house. He\u2019s a teenager now. He\u2019s supposed to be embarrassed by me, not frightened for me. Careers come back. Years of his childhood do not.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a shame. It\u2019s an even greater shame that the left operates this way, and that we still cannot have the societal discussion about the nature of Islam that we need to have.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
