Sharon Stone gave a press conference at Torino film festival, part of which you can find in the following video:
Starting from the good things, it's nice to see this absolute sex symbol (for my taste at least) keeping a good part of her grace despite her alopecia (don't forget her age, you'd probably wish to look half as good as her by then). It was also nice to watch her taking position against trump, something that she still does in the recent video above. Unfortunately in a counter productive way though.
She mentions that "Italy has seen fascism" and she's absolutely right to compare this with USA where people have no idea what that is (maybe even Italians have lost knowledge on that too but that's another story). "My country is in adolescence" she says and totally looks like that. "Naive, ignorant and arrogant", she couldn't have used better 3 words. However, this is where things go off the rails as she says that 80% of Americans don't have a passport.
To be honest at first I believed her (maybe still deceived by remembering the stunning looks of her prime) and my jaw dropped dead. Next second I decided to cross check this cause even by today's "naive, ignorant and arrogant" US standards it sounds kinda crazy. Soon enough I found that it sounds crazy simply because it is not true. Quite the opposite actually, now 51% have passports compared to 46% in 2023 so the tension is rising (and trump might make it sky rocket). Even back in 2008 the statistics where not on her side, passport owners where 30%. Maybe this was the case in her adolescence years.
She's absolutely right later on to point out that we should not pretend there's no bad men in our circle and try to keep them away from vulnerable individuals. But proceeds in another crazy "fact" saying that "#1 killer of women globally is men". A star like her can get away with lies like this applauded but the truth is that you will never find such a statistic simply because it is not true, neither globally nor (obviously) in US. If you do I'd like to know in the comments because no matter how much I tried I didn't find even something close to this.
Unintentionally, the other than that adorable Sharon Stone has underlined the mess in US by just being... herself. There's so much id politics madness gathered in this country that I can't see an easy way out. Black lives matter, Women's lives matter, Orange lives mater might be the new one, it all ads up to dividing people instead of uniting. (Αντίστοιχο της υστερίας περί γυναικοκτονίας στην Ελλάδα για την οποία έγραψα εδώ). If you distort facts beyond belief and imagination you don't help the cause you're fighting for (supposing she is really fighting unlike others who just do it by profession).
This also unveils another hysteria popular among women that "the world would be better if they ruled" and so on. The world would be better if we become better individuals first and then start voting for the good ones. You don't fight misogynism with feminazism. And by the way, why don't you try to convince women themselves about it? You had Hillary Clinton loosing to Barack Obama, you didn't chose her as a President even against a guy like trump (!!!) and you did the same against Kamala (!!!). Why don't you target women Democrats who didn't bother to vote Kamala even though she was running against the absolute worst man in US?
It's beyond heartbreaking for me to refer to my beloved US as "Dumbest Nation" for the second time (first one here) but it's just impossible to skip truth. You guys have rotted to the core to do such a crime against you and humanity by electing trump. You had no excuses even back in 2016. If you issues where economy and illegal immigration (both important) you don't vote for a guy with bankruptcies under his belt and the one who admittedly blocked the wall. Even if you believe Elon rigged the results that also means you have left your country to become weak enough to be that vulnerable. Anyway you look at it it's shameful. Good luck now.
