Is there anyone in Hollywood who rises to the level of a Jimmy Stewart who joined the Army Air Corp and contributed to the comfortable life we have all had for the last 78 years? And it was not without personal sacrifice - he collapsed from PTSD after a bombing run, living with fear and terror that few of us have ever had to live with.
Sure, our country has its flaws - but has Hollywood contributed to their solution or exacerbated them.

Audie Murphy? He is not as recognizable as an actor (made 40 films) but he was one of the most highly decorated soldiers in WWII. Which is more important, valor in combat or reputation as an actor?
I think the question is more about the intelligence to perceive the threat and the courage to confront it.
Where is that courage in Holywood?
Consider Hollywood at this point in time. Identify as a conservative - you get no work. There are a couple real issues here.
First, the culture cuts off and intimidates maybe 40% of the workforce. Those individuals withhold their viewpoint and creative input out of fear for their job.
Second, they cut off half their customers. Maybe not at first - but over time it becomes obvious.
Now they wonder why a single movie, that refuses to kiss up to the CCP succeeds.
You can fix a lot of things - but you can't fix stupid.
