Sharon Stone castigates “ignorant, arrogant” Americans who rail against fascism

Sharon Stone, a vocal supporter of 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, criticized American politics while attending the Turin Film Festival in Italy.

During a panel discussion, Stone, 66, was asked for her thoughts on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, which the award-winning actress said was “a big” question to think about.

“We need to stop and think about who we elect to govern,” Stone said, in a thinly veiled dig at President-elect Trump. “And whether we actually elect our government or whether the government elects itself.

“You know, Italy has seen fascism. Italy has seen these things, people. And you understand what is happening. You’ve seen this before.”

“My country is in the midst of youth. The youth is very arrogant. Young people think they know everything. The youth are naive and ignorant and arrogant. And we are in our ignorant, arrogant youth.”

Stone, who accepted the Stella della Mole Lifetime Achievement Award, added that Americans have never seen these events in the country before.

“So Americans who don’t travel, who 80% don’t have passports, who are uneducated, are extraordinarily naive,” she said. “I would say that we can only help with these problems if we help each other.”

She rejected the idea that only “women should help women, because that is the only way we have survived so far.”

Instead, Stone said, “We need to say that good men need to help good men, and those good men need to be very aware that many of their friends are not good men.”

“We can’t keep pretending your friends are good men when they aren’t good men. And you need to be clear-headed and understand that your friends who are not good men are dangerous, violent men. And you have to stick with it. “Keep them away from your daughters, your wives, your girlfriends, because this is the time when we can no longer look the other way, when bad men are bad.”

The Basic Instinct actress recalled: “I saw a comedian the other night and he said, ‘I asked a woman out to dinner and she said yes. And it was so brave of her because it was the real deal.’ “The No. 1 cause of death in the world today is men. Heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death for men.”

“The No. 1 killer of women is men. It is very important to remember this. It’s very important to remember that.”

Shortly after Stone’s appearance at the film festival, Alec Baldwin, who was in town to screen his ’90s classic The Hunt for Red October, admitted it was a “very important time for filmmaking” as “a very difficult time in the world” is United States.”

“Television news in the United States is a business. They have to make money,” Baldwin said at a news conference. “There is a hole. There is a vacuum. There is an information gap, if you will, for Americans.”

“Americans are very poorly informed about reality – what is really going on. Given climate change, Ukraine, Israel… whatever. On all of the world’s biggest issues, Americans are hungry for a little information.”

“This vacuum is filled by the film industry. Not just from the independent film industry, not just from the documentary film industry, which is very important around the world. But also of narrative films, where the filmmakers and the buyers, the studios and the networks and the streamers are ready to go this route.
