?quality=90&strip=all&w=915Tim Allen says that living in Hollywood right now is akin to Nazi Germany.
The comedian made the claim while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
You gotta be real careful around here, Allen noted. You get beat up if you dont believe what everybody else believes. This is like 30s Germany.
Well, for a once arrested dope peddler, he shouldn't complain. Guy only got off being sent to prison because he ratted on his fellow drug pusher.

His tv show wasn't all that great, or good and, most definitely, not funny. Same for his lame ass movies. I'm sure most of the conservative ilk find him talented. Well I'm not conservative and I find him to be anti comedic, i.e. NOT FUNNY!! Hey Tim! 🖕🏻

Didn't he also complain about the woman who played his wife on home improvement wanting raise ?

Yet this fool views himself as a victim with a comparison to victims of one of the worst things to happen.

(82,849 posts)It's like Nazi Germany! They'll beat you up for going against the party line. Except for, you know, the actual beating up part. So that's a small difference right there.
Tim's such a delicate chap. You could probably beat him up by sending him a drawing of a clenched fist.

(4,750 posts)He avoided a possible life term by ratting out other dealers, receiving instead a 3-7 year sentence, and he was paroled after 2 years and 4 months at a federal prison in Minnesota.
Thought I remembered a prison term, and found this information in his Wikipedia entry.

Carefully concealed within the liner notes for each DVD, I'm adding a sticky note:
"CAUTION: This movie features a performance by a convicted cocaine dealer who now compares the horrors of Nazi Germany to the current political climate in Hollywood.
Parental discretion is STRONGLY advised."
Unless someone else could recommend a stronger warning...

Yet when Orange Fatsack won, all they can do is graceless gloating and whining about being "persecuted" (?!)
More like they are being relentlessly and rightly shamed, and they don't like that. (boo fuckin' hoo!!)
SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

A bit touchy because, instead, the orange buffoon is being revealed as an incompetent fraud and conman who can't govern his way out of a paper bag???
Enjoy defending this trainwreck.

(9,350 posts)What is going on in Hollywood is not even close to how things were in 1930s Nazi Germany. In 1930s Nazi Germany people died because they were Jewish. In 2017 Hollywood the worse that can happen to Tim Allen is that he will get his feelings hurt, or he will miss out on a few jobs. No one is going into Tim Allen's house and taking him, his family, and his belongings out of the house. Allen's family is not being shipped off to a death camp. Allen is not being shipped of to a labor camp and worked and starved to death.

(107,939 posts)The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect demanded an apology from actor Tim Allen after he compared life for Hollywood conservatives to living in "'30s Germany."
That era, of course, was when Adolf Hilter rose to power and the Nazis began their campaign of mass extermination of Jews and many others they deemed undesirable. The Anne Frank Center called Allen's comparison "deeply offensive" and said it "trivializes the horrors imposed on Jews in Nazi Germany."
