You are spot-on! The right-wing reactionaries are tripping over themselves to "dunk" on "rich actors crying over not getting more," which is easy to get their base of "hard workers" foaming. Always got to keep making and enforcing cultural norms of work that is and isn't "real" or "hard." Which is easy to do when you only ever play lip-service to "supporting" blue-collar workers, but never actually push for those same workers to stop being screwed over in any meaningful way. Just a grift from those singing false praise in order to do the same shit that libs do when running for office. Which is unhelpful shit where they "hear and see us" while doing everything the oppressors demand. It is like how stuff like free-speech is so quickly brought up to attack China or other socialist nations. Just because we are allowed to talk shit all day doesn't mean anything was changed to help any of us.
But these "fake workers" (also labeled "entitled") in fields of entertainment and sports often only have a very short window of time to get gigs that pay much while still being in whatever "valuable" state that is wanted at the time. Like how female actors have the stereotype of "aging out" of being attractive for leading roles. If the system does work this way, then it means they have X amount of years to get maybe a lifetime's worth of pay. In addition to being more or less 24/7 in applying to jobs.
Are there lots of super obvious libs in entertainment that do act like assholes and perfect examples of what the conservative puppets are talking about in their "dunk" sessions? Do those examples look down on the rest of us "untouchables" and even go on to become the business version of landlords via buying franchises that then treat their workers poorly? Oh fuck yes they do. But what the right-wing/conservative folks always fully and knowingly ignore is that the vast majority of the folks on strike are not making anywhere near the amounts of money or have the same lives of luxury. It is all just more fake barriors being placed in order to keep all workers fighting each other instead of the ones fucking us all over.
