I'd say we are all influenced by our parents and though Gibson may generally have risen above his parents racism it's impossible to eradicate early conditioning completely. He did something stupid and said some bad things, but lets face it can a single person here honestly say they have never, in the heat of the moment drunk or sober, said something mean, cruel and horribly untrue just because they were angry?

Um, well, I have never, even when I was a real asshole back in college, engaged in hate speech--that's a whole level of "mean" I've never felt the urge to get into. I have never blamed an ethnicity to which I did not belong for any of my problems, let alone "all the wars in the world." Furthermore, no one I have ever, ever known or befriended has done such a thing.
MSG, do you or any of your friends launch into an anti-Semitic tirade when you've had a few too many?
To the best of my knowledge, alcohol doesn't put ideas in your head, it just makes you more likely to express thoughts and feelings you'd rather other people didn't know about.
Who can say that they have never, in the heat of the moment drunk or sober, said something they truly believed but didn't want others to know about?

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

I'm glad that everyone isn't jumping on the bandwagon to burn Mel at the stake. My own ancestors were killed in the holocaust, burned at auschwitz, in fact, and Mel has yet to offend me. He's just a guy, he comes from that side of the political spectrum, so what. It's not like a lot of sides haven't gotten into their side of evil, and denied it, defended it, etc. I mean, if I were to count the total number of defenses of Hiroshima, which has roughly the same long term casualities as Auschwitz proper, (not as the holocaust mind you, I think for actually in auschwitz we're talk 1.2 mil vs. 1.1 mil) ...and add to that that I've never heard someone actually defend auschwitz (in person, there's some looney webpage which tries to) ... and that daily I hear people that defend the slaughter in Iraq, either by Bill Clinton or George W. Bush. Altogether, Mel's political points of view, like his religion, are his own business. They don't mesh with mine, but so what, he's not my Guru. All I want Mel to do is be a badass an blow things up (err on screen) and he doesn't have to agree with me to do that.
And btw, to know that you grew up eating woodchips and learn that your great grandfathers billions were stolen by nazis to make bombs doesn't give you any kind feelings towards them, as to my various rants at socialism and pirate news and where is he anyway?

Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson speak the hard truths about California: "Things are dangerous now. We were just talking about the wildfire situation and how crazy it is they spent $24B on the homeless and $0 on preventing wildfires."

Mel Gibson: "In 2019, Newsom said he would take care of the forest and he didn't do anything. I think all our tax dollars went to Gavin's hair gel. It's sad. The whole place is on fire."

His praise of Michael Moore
This is Gibson's exact quote, "I feel a strange kinship with Michael. They're trying to pit us against each other in the press, but it's a hologram. They really have got nothing to do with one another. It's just some kind of device, some left-right. He makes some salient points. There was some very expert, elliptical editing going on. However, what the hell are we doing in Iraq? No one can explain to me in a reasonable manner that I can accept why we're there, why we went there, and why we're still there."

Mel Gibson Predicts 'End of Civilization' for LA on Joe Rogan Podcast

Actor Mel Gibson suggested that "the end of civilization" is near during an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan as Los Angeles continued to face a series of devastating wildfires.
Why It Matters
The ongoing fires in California have killed at least five people so far, while burning tens of thousands of acres and destroying thousands of structures, including the homes of many celebrities who live in affluent areas that quickly became engulfed in flames.
Gibson, who owns a home in Malibu, spoke about the fires and what he believes are "earmarks" for the end of civilization while appearing Thursday on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, which is taped in Austin, Texas.
What To Know
"I would be surprised if my home is still there," Gibson said during the podcast. "I've got a son, he's a sort of volunteer firefighter. Milo, I call him 'the mayor of Malibu,' and he's running around. I asked him, 'How's things looking there, Milo?' He says, 'Not good, Pops.'"
"He sent me a video of my neighborhood," he added. "And it's in flames. It looks like an inferno. So, not good."
Gibson, an outspoken conservative who also endorsed Trump, agreed with Rogan. He went on to claim that Newsom was responsible for San Francisco supposedly becoming "apocalyptic" and "a mess" because homeless people live there. He then suggested that civilization itself was ready to "cave in and collapse."
"I read a book once by Jared Diamond called Collapse," Gibson said. "It says all the things you need for a civilization to cave in and collapse. And a lot of those things are present, all those earmarks, the precursors of a collapse. They're present in our time. So, it's an interesting observation."

“In the events like this, you sort of look is it on purpose? Which it's an insane thing to think. But one begins to ponder.”
