Actor Ryan Phillippe has sparked a wave of controversy after announcing his decision to disengage from politics as part of his New Year’s resolution. On Sunday, the star posted a list titled, “Things I no longer engage with going forward,” which included “Politics,” “Doomsday scenarios,” and “Talking heads.”
Disengagement List and Fan Reactions
Other items on Phillippe’s list included “Halloween,” “Fantasy Football,” “Doom scrolling,” “The majority of podcasts,” “Fake love,” “Grudges,” “Anything processed: foods or people,” “Being used,” “Being judged,” and “Liars and ever being one again myself.” He also mentioned “Pro sports (except the sixers) and this primarily has to do with the endorsements of corrosive gambling sites and apps, but also rampant injuries (NFL mainly).”
Phillippe added “Ridiculous opinions,” “Anyone who disturbs my peace,” “Insincere obligations,” and “Wasting precious time.” He captioned the post, “Putting this on main to keep me accountable,” and urged his 1.2 million followers to “post yours and tag me,” signing off with the optimistic motto, “Resolution Revolution.”
Online Backlash and Support
Notably, fans took to the comment section of Phillippe’s post to lambast the actor for swearing off politics. One wrote, “I agree with all of this, except for the politics part. It is very important that we all have a better way to live in this world. And the only way to get there is to remove the people who are not making it better.” Another criticized, “Must be nice to not engage with politics.”
However, not everyone took issue with Phillippe’s decision. One fan exclaimed, “Love an actor that isn’t throwing their political view down our throats!” Another commented, “The fact that anyone is criticizing your list is ridiculous to me. If this is what YOU need to protect your peace and these are your boundaries, NO ONE should be telling you otherwise. PERIOD!”
Conclusion
Phillippe’s decision to disengage from politics has sparked a mix of reactions, with some fans supporting his choice and others criticizing what they see as a lack of responsibility in a time of global challenges. As he continues his New Year’s resolution, the actor’s list has become a focal point for discussion on the role of personal boundaries in public life.
