Zack Sharf Digital News Director Arnold Schwarzenegger posted a 12-minute direct-to-camera address on YouTube in which he urged antisemites and other racist and discriminatory hate groups to stop spreading hate and to choose a brighter path.

The action star, who made headlines last year for visiting the Auschwitz concentration camp and for reckoning with his father’s own Nazi past, called out anyone who has “heard some conspiracies about Jewish people or any race or gender and thought, ‘That makes sense to me.'” “There has never been a successful movement based on hate,” Schwarzenegger said. “Nazis?

Losers. The Confederacy? Losers. The Apartheid movement? Losers. I don’t want you to be a loser. I don’t want you to be weak… despite all my friends who might say, ‘Arnold, don’t talk to those people.

It’s not worth it,’ I don’t care what they say. I care about you. I think you’re worth it. I know nobody is perfect… I can understand how people can fall into a trap of prejudice and hate.” “It’s easier to make excuses that the Jewish people conspired to hold you back then it is to admit that you just needed to work harder,” the actor continued. “It’s easier to hate than it is to learn… Nobody who has chosen the easy path of hate has gotten to the end of the road and said, ‘What a life.’ No.
