Sean Penn is the poster child for everything wrong with Hollywood. He is a leftist activist that reacts to what he sees on the mainstream media, and touts it as gospel instead of actually doing some investigative work from the opposite side of the issue. He did it when he commented about January 6th, he’s done it with Ukraine, and he’s done it with the vaccine mandates…which he vociferously supports. The unvaccinated, according to Penn, should be imprisoned or made to feel like they are pointing a gun in someone’s face. Not surprising, given the fact that Penn is an avid supporter of the socialist Venezuela, and praises how wonderful it is, defending the tyrannical ruler Hugo Chavez to this day, calling him a dear friend. All this while the hypocritical Sean Penn benefits from the capitalism of his profession and the freedoms that afford him the luxury of being ignorant. There’s no doubt that he’s passionate about whatever issue he’s taking up, but the issue is whether or not he’s informed about all sides, or just plain ignorant and stubborn. The problem is that there are two sides to an issue, and Penn’s issue with alleging Americans who don’t take the vaccine should be locked up and separated from society, is just morally and constitutionally naive on Penn’s part.
Lock Those Unvaccinated Up
In an interview with Extra that resurfaced from August of 2021, Sean Penn alluded to unvaccinated individuals as being criminals who should be essentially locked up, because they are endangering others with their stubbornness not to get the vaccine. He would continue his tirade against the unvaccinated in a separate interview with CNN, in which he equated the unvaccinated to pointing a gun in someone’s face.
“I do believe that everyone should get vaccinated. I believe it should be mandatory. I have some areas of strong belief in the Second Amendment. But I think that you need to recognize how — with something like this — you can’t go around pointing a gun in somebody’s face, which is what it is when people are unvaccinated.”
What an absolute buffoon. But should we expect anything different from an actor who supports and praises a socialist country like Venezuela? Probably not. The issue, is that Sean Penn is obviously uneducated on the vaccines and their effectiveness. If he were at all serious about his claims he would do some homework that might enlighten him on the fact that the vaccines are becoming less and less effective, and in fact are becoming so ineffective, that more individuals who are vaccinated, are contracting Covid and spreading it, than are the unvaccinated.
Sean Penn Acts Like the Third World Dictators He Supports
Penn seems to have a problem with Americans having the freedom to make their own choices no matter the consequences. His views on the vaccine are almost tyrannical and fit with his infatuation with socialist ideals such as the ones a socialist country like Venezuela supports. This attitude can be evidenced through his behavior during “Covid fever”, when Penn refused to continue production on his Showtime series ‘Gaslit’ , when he demanded everyone be vaccinated. Penn basically held everyone hostage like a third world dictator and possibly forced some into a medical procedure they might not have wanted, or maybe even caused their unemployment. That can’t be verified, but what were the other choices. He also told fans not to see his movie ‘Flag Day’ if they weren’t vaccinated. Apparently they listened, because no one went to see it. ‘Flag Day’ only grossed $42,953 on its opening weekend, and didn’t even break a million dollars worldwide. Audiences listened Sean Penn. The irony, is that Penn, because he grew up in a country that affords this kind of behavior, is allowed to say whatever he wants. I think that’s possibly lost on Penn, and is taken for granted. I’ll take the latter considering Penn’s temperament. Point being, that Americans’ views on whether or not to get vaccinated, should be tolerated and accepted by Penn just as much as the uneducated nonsense Penn spews against those views.

Penn Allies Himself With Those of Questionable Political Persuasions
Penn’s recent stint with filming a documentary in Ukraine, standing up for the small guy, is a perfect example of Penn’s ignorance on the things he supports. The Ukraine people are suffering at the hands of two different kinds of tyranny. An old school ex KGB president Vladimir Putin, who sees Ukraine as belonging to mother Russia, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who is a sock puppet in the second most corrupt government in Europe. Penn has traded awards with Zelenskyy in a gesture of solidarity and brotherhood, but neglects to look at the whole picture and the pervasive corruption that we are funding week in and week out. Zelenskyy, in the name of the safety of Ukraine’s people of course, has made some pretty tyrannical decisions of his own. Just last month he said he was going to crackdown and ban the Orthodox Church in Ukraine for fears of ties with Russia. 60% of Ukraine’s citizens are Orthodox Christians…who have been against the war and Russia’s instigation from the start. Then there’s Zelensky’s appearance in the House of Representative’s chambers, who looked eerily reminiscent of a military clad Fidel Castro, except that Zelenskyy was demanding more money from taxpayers. If that weren’t bad enough, Zelenskyy also banned all opposition parties in the country as well as consolidating all media outlets into one that is government run. This of course is all done to protect the Ukranian people from “Russian” influence. This is hardly the display of a president running a democratically run government…but hey Sean Penn knows best.

Sean Penn Lacks the Ability to Critically Think
It’s hard to tell if Penn actually believes he’s doing good, or it’s all just for optics. Either way, Penn believes he’s standing up for these countries he thinks are democratically elected…and which we should stop insulting.
“Every day, this elected leader(Hugo Chavez) is called a dictator here, and we just accept it, and accept it. And this is mainstream media. There should be a bar by which one goes to prison for these kinds of lies.”
What is Sean Penn’s definition of freedom then? It can’t be the Constitution and the Republic that defends it. If that were the case, then Penn wouldn’t be insinuating that Americans who choose not to get a medical procedure should be locked up. Why doesn’t Sean Penn move to Venezuela or Ukraine if it’s so bad here? Would Mr. Penn have a different view of Venezuela if he lived there for a couple of years? Would Sean Penn actually have his eyes opened if he lived in Ukraine for a few years and witnessed the corruption first hand? But more importantly, would he have more of an appreciation for the free country he was born in? Probably not. Sean Penn seems dug in hard on his views with no room for critical thinking…a trait sorely lacking in a gullible Hollywood.
