Aristocrat slacktivist: Actor Ian Somerhalder embraces privileges he would deny you plebs

Posted at 1:04 pm on May 9, 2013 by Twitchy Staff | View Comments

Well, actor Ian Somerhalder should know, what with his “global trotting,”as he calls it, all the time. As Twitchy reported, the Better Than You actor wished for people to give up their cars so that he can open his swanky L.A. windows. Oh, the life of a poor little rich boy! Of course, he feels free to travel by jet engine constantly.

Bingo.

But the aristocrat has a way to cover that: Slacktivism! He’s totally going to whine and stuff.

And he’s going to read things! While, you know, flying.

He’ll also chatter. And it’s chattering with oh-so-enlightened Europeans, so that counts extra!

Plus, he’ll pose for pictures.

Love these people- my goal is to see these for ISfoundation.org in every airport in the world in years to come!Awesomeness!

See? He totally means it.

Except for that whole flying for me, but not for thee thing. The lack of self-awareness is staggering. As a reminder, here are just a few tweets about his “global trotting.”

Those were just his travels in the last month. Yes, month.

Elitist liberal hypocrisy on display, once again.

  • mpav

    Who is Ian Somerhalder and why should I care?

    • Chaitealover

      My question exactly.

    • redheadgrl

      you shouldn’t care, but he was on the TV series Lost.

      • ⚔Christophuh⚔

        killed off in the first season.

    • Canadian in USA

      Who?

  • Gloria Wandrous

    He doesn’t seem like he is all man. Plus, lots of humble-bragging going on here.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Tucker-Latham/100003799320251 Tucker Latham

      “Humble-bragging…” Nice characterization.

  • Blake Waymire

    Maybe he should just invest in that new solar aircraft. You know, the one with the wingspan of an A380 but barely enough room for four.

    • David Johnson

      Isn’t it going to take that thing over a month to go cross country! Plus top speed of 40 mph & can’t go through storms. Also wonder what did it cost & was it payed for with green stimulus money???

      • Blake Waymire

        I think it was paid for by grant money. I know it’s a proof-of-concept, but you’d hope a proof-of-concept from the 2010s could at least keep up with an aircraft from the 1980s (the C172 I fly can successfully hit around 130mph with me and an instructor).

    • Elaine

      The green jobs created will only cost US 11 million a job! Don’t you just love a bargain?

      • Expat61

        Don’t forget the ten or so companies that went belly up with hundreds of millions of taxpayer money, and then paid out to President Obama’s cronies instead of the USA taxpayer. Ah, the priviledged Permanent Political Ruling class of Washington DC. Aristocrats indeed. And their boot lickers, the MSM. Let the American taxpayer eat cake, indeed.

  • RblDiver

    “My opinions are the most important out there! I’m an ACTOR, dammit!”

    • MC12

      When did he say that? You don’t have to read his tweets if you don’t want to.

      • Fire and Adjust!

        Where did RblDiver claim he said that? RblDiver simply posted a statement based on sarcasm to provide an implication of their opinion of Ian Somerhalder. You don’t have to read RblDiver’s comments if you don’t want to.

        • J. Cox

          the leftist and hollywierd zombie followers have yet to learn about sarcasm and irony…it is fun to watch them rage when one of us rubes in flyover country make fun of them.

        • MC12

          I don’t have a problem with his comments. But he seems to have a problem with Ian’s comments.

          • Fire and Adjust!

            So what? Let him have a problem with his comments. He doesn’t have a right to NOT be offended or have a problem with Ian’s comments……………. but he has every right to say that he has a problem Ian’s comments………. And what do you care if RblDiver does have a problem with Ian’s comments? Do you care about the opinions of someone you don’t know and seemingly disagree with…………which would be in direct contradiction to what you’ve posted elsewhere in this very same thread.

          • RblDiver

            My comment was intended as a sarcastic commentary on Hollywood “elite” who think that just because they were in movies/are famous singers that this makes them experts on topics and that their views are more important than mine (applies to actors, musicians et al).

      • Clayton Grant

        Wow … critical thinking much?

      • NRPax

        Are you typing all of these while gazing up at your Ian Somerlander poster?

        • bicentennialguy

          Gazing at it is probably not the only thing going on….

          • NRPax

            Whatever gets him through the night…

  • maplebob23

    Was he the guy who got killed in the first season of Lost? Spoiler! Maybe.

  • Sua Sponte

    If I have to Google who you are, well that about sums up what I think about what you’re saying.

    • MC12

      If you actually googled his name then clearly you’re interested in his opinions.

      • KansasGirl

        No, just showing his hypocrisy.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Tucker-Latham/100003799320251 Tucker Latham

        Non-sequitur.

        • Clayton Grant

          That was unfair. It’s obvious MC12 will never go look up the meaning of non sequitur.

      • Carnival Barker

        Jeez. Somebody has consistent wet dreams about Ian Somejackoff

      • Sua Sponte

        Quite the jump on assumptions I see. You also, as Ian, must be a gold star member of the E.T.A.D.I.K. foundation.

  • https://twitter.com/davidjkramer DavidKramer

    Sounds like……look at me, look at me.

    • MC12

      Why? Because he uses twitter?

      • https://twitter.com/davidjkramer DavidKramer

        No, he keeps posting drivel. Who cares where he is or what he is doing. I would not be surprised if he has a publicist posting it.

        • CherDash

          Methinks Ian may be on this thread…(MC12)

  • http://www.freedomreconnection.com CO2 Producer

    I foresee a Nobel Peace Prize in this young man’s future.

    • Dick Beninya

      lol

  • Steve_J

    Carbon offsets = another “green” scam.

  • MC12

    It seems like these twitchy articles are written by a 10-year-old? It’s funny how people who hate celebrities the most are also really interested in their opinions.

    • http://www.freedomreconnection.com CO2 Producer

      Tell us more.

    • Fire and Adjust!

      You mistake “interest in their opionions” for interest in pointing out their hypocricies and inconcistencies…… Can you explain the liberal hatred for the Palins yet the pervasive liberal interest in THEIR opionions…….or the hatred for Stacy Dash, Dr. Ben Carson, Clint Eastwood, (among others) and the interest in THEIR opionions…………

      • MC12

        If you constantly write about some celebrity’s tweets then yes, you’re interested in his opinions. If you need to point out Ian’s hypocrisy then clearly you care what he thinks. Why won’t twitchy make an article about my opinions? Because they don’t care what I think. But they do care about Ian.

        I don’t know why some people care about Ben Carson or Stacy Dash. I’m not interested in them. And most liberals dont’ care about them either. The only place I can read stories about Stacy Dash is here.

        • Fire and Adjust!

          I’m pretty sure if you had the same platform and audience that Ian has, and you spout off hypocrisy after hypocrisy like Ian, you’d get the same attention from Twitchy, so don’t be disheartened.
          And again, I HIGHLY doubt anyone cares about his opinions, only the hypocrisy of what he says when compared against what he does. As an example, Ian doesn’t say anything very much differently than Daryl Hanna does, yet no one bothers Daryl Hanna because she actually lives what she preaches…… were she to say what she says and then do something completely opposite, I’m sure she’d get just as much heckling.

        • http://www.freedomreconnection.com CO2 Producer

          Interesting. Any other thoughts?

        • shimauma

          They don’t care about what you think SO MUCH, that you have to come to a conservative site to get anyone to notice you. Guess you and mr. hypocrite actor have a lot in common. I guess that I shouldn’t have written that though, since you are narcissistic enough to take it as a compliment.

        • Carnival Barker

          Listen Mrs. Manhandler, just because twitchy writes a story about you doesn’t mean that you can come on here and crap up the comments section under a pseudonym (that means a name that’s not really yours, little guy. It’s in the dictionary). Stick to your ineffectual and condescending twitter account.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Tucker-Latham/100003799320251 Tucker Latham

      IMO, what’s “funny” – funny “weird,” not funny “ha-ha” – is that your takeaway is that “people who hate celebrities the most are also really interested in their opinions.” Even – for the sake of argument – taking your thesis as already proven, why is this “funny” to you?

      My takeaway is that leftists in general – and actors, especially – are thoroughgoing hypocrites. Lest that point be taken as an assumption requiring proof, it’s good that Twitchy is here to provide us with constant evidence.

    • tops116

      It’s funny how people who have a problem with people criticizing celebrities (or pseudo-celebrities, as the case may be) are the most interested in the critics’ opinions.

      You took time out of your day to not only whine like a ten-year-old over someone being critical of a D-list actor, but then you replied to other posts simply to continue whining over being faced with the Internet. What is this, your first day on the Internet? And seriously, who’s more obsessed here–those posting a snarky comment about some D-lister or the person that keeps replying to said snarky comments and whining about them?

      • http://www.freedomreconnection.com CO2 Producer

        Hush, tops. Some of us want to know what MC12 thinks.

  • ICOYAR

    Because OBVIOUSLY Europe is doing so well economically

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Tucker-Latham/100003799320251 Tucker Latham

      Well, that’s just because those “amazing minds” aren’t in charge! You see, a policy only fails for two reasons:
      1) It was created by conservatives
      2) The Wrong People (TM) implemented it

  • marcellucci

    If he said he walked from Atlanta to Barcelona, then maybe I’d be impressed…….

    • camnpat

      I’d be impressed if, on top of that, does other things during that walk to eliminate his “carbon footprint” including:

      – not using his phone which must be re-charged and whose parts were shipped by truck, plane, and/or ship, increasing its “footprint” in each case.
      – not eating or drinking anything that used anything that could potentially have a “carbon footprint” (which, even if was a horse, good luck trying to achieve).
      – not wearing or packing anything that has a “carbon footprint” (again, good luck with that).

      If he had done that I’d be impressed.

      • IBXNJ

        Hey Ian if you REALLY want to reduce your “carbon footprint” DO NOT EVER EXHALE!!!

        • camnpat

          I forgot that one. 😉

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Tucker-Latham/100003799320251 Tucker Latham

    The old saying “if liberals didn’t have double standards…” has, if anything, been understated. If there’s one thing I’ve noticed through the years, it’s how the left absolutely and blindly epitomizes hypocrisy. Someone should write a book…

    This “guy” is the quintessential liberal girly man. I didn’t know Louisiana produced sissies.

    • Derelictus

      He’s from Louisiana? As a a fellow native I’m embarrassed. Also did he seriously not get the memo that “climate change” is a 10,000 times debunked scam? I thought progressives were always up to date on trends.

    Hollyweird is so full of hypocrites on every issue from taxes to AGW to life in general that one can easily lose track of what any one of those inmates is whining about at any given time. How easy it is for the limousine leftist set to whine and moan but they never have any workable solutions.

  • Bristel

    I’ve been to Barcelona, London and Melbourne! Look at me! I don’t even whine about carbon output because I’m not a wanker like he is! 😉

  • jetch

    the whole “carbon offset” thing is such a scam! it’s a feel good thing that does not help. a true activist would abstain from actions they think pollute the air.
    this would be like me claiming to be a vegan who eats meat, but I use “meat offsets” by paying a farmer to raise cows.
    can’t really stand them, but vegans at least live what they talk.

  • gekkobear

    Ah yes, we need more bio-jet fuel…

    What does it cost? Well the Air Force is using it now, at $59/gallon.

    What does comparable non-bio jet fuel cost? About $4/gallon (depending on location, maybe as much as $8 in some places with seasonal shifts in price).

    Anyone guess if he’d be willing to shell out an extra $15,000 or more for every flight?

    I’m guessing he doesn’t want “bio jet fuel” that bad.

  • shay

    Pretty sure he started lamenting the amount of fuel used by those guzzling jets on 5/7 because Twitchy busted him for his wildly astounding lack of self-awareness in this area on 5/6. What a tool.
