In a video, Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger warns of the attraction that can emanate from discriminatory ideologies and racist conspiracy myths. In his own words, the actor addresses those “who may have already stumbled in the wrong direction, down the wrong path” in the clip, which lasts around twelve minutes. “I want to talk to you, if you’ve caught yourself thinking that someone else is inferior to you or is targeting you because of their religion or their color or their gender,” Schwarzenegger said.
In the video, the 75-year-old described his impressions of a recent visit to the German death camp at Auschwitz and asked, “How can we prevent this from ever happening again?” He reminded that hate-based movements like the Nazi regime, the South African apartheid regime or the American Confederation always ended up losing. “Throughout history, hate has always been the easy path, the path of least resistance,” Schwarzenegger said. It was always easier to find a scapegoat for a problem than to improve things on your own. “But to be clear: you will never find success at the end of this path.”
Schwarzenegger was governor of the US state of California from 2003 to 2011. He will soon be seen in his first leading role in the series. He has taken on a role in the spy series “FUBAR”, which will start on the Netflix streaming service in May. Schwarzenegger and US actress Monica Barbaro embody a father and daughter who accidentally find out that they are both secretly working as CIA agents. Despite the lies and secrets, they end up having to work together.
