Unfortunately I think Hollywood, video games, and other entertainment entities will double down rather than course correcting to make/create things for the 99%. HBO is making a Harry Potter TV series despite JK rowling getting canceled. There were major failures in gaming like Concord, Ubi-soft etc. Hollywood but overall I agree the situation seems bad. The main thing is that the people that work on these projects are mostly Democrats themselves from small enclaves. As a kid even in the 1990s I thought that the obsession with the leisure rich, luxury, and hollywood celebrities (mostly) among women was wrong. These actors did not deserve so much influence. Now half the country hates them and don't respect them. The so-called 'Legacy media' news networks have declined a lot in influence as well. At least half the country hates them. We have streaming, internet and the Right to thank for that these past 15+ odd years. In the past the propaganda from the tv news/mainstream press was important in influencing the election and now a very low number of people even watched the debates compared to the Joe Rogan interviews.
November 23, 2024Nov 23 Elon Musk teasing the purchase of MSNBC. He could go buy CNN too someday and have MAGA propaganda channels lol maybe by then MAGA will develop into MAGA-socialism or MAGA-communism after MAGA-libertarianism takes its course.

About few months back I tried to prove this to a friend by testing how good the moderation is. Took me literally less than 30 secs to find Nazi propaganda (like the really bad stuff that would sent you to prison in Germany for a very long time) and execution videos by just using the search. I reported 5 or 6 of these posts which broke several (or all of them) Twitter hateful conduct guidelines (https://help.x.com/en/rules-and-policies/hateful-conduct-policy). Only one of those reported posts got removed about two weeks later. EDIT: just checked the reported posts and they're still intact, including the profiles and the video. If that is what you call "free speech" then that's really f*d up. Before Musk, Twitter was a cesspool governed by far left extremists. Posting "there are 2 genders" was considered n*zi propaganda. The bird was the prisoner of the Woke cult. "Charming" pink haired fellows were harassing, bullying and cancelling anyone that disagreed with them. Musk freed the bird. Totalitarianism emerges from censorship, not freedom. Don't worry, there's no such thing as total freedom anyway (and no sane people validate n*zism today, but there are lots of good folks that get influenced by far left lunatics).

Like Musk, Solidus' ideological rhetoric was about liberty & free speech (meanwhile putting himself in the place of power and control). In a way that's true, they and the MAGA right were able to halt & roll-back the far-left drift of US federal politics since the catastrophic collapse of the American dream during the Obama years & the great recession. While the people have unchained themselves enough from brainwashing to drift away from the left they are now stuck with a bunch of megalomaniacal freaks that are constantly promoting conspiracy theories. They are free but it's far from certain that the freedom will be used wisely. It's also like the ending of Game of Thrones: Nobody really wins, it's all nihilistic. Kojima's script was brilliant. The main threat was and is the woke cult. As long as it's struck, I'm happy. The new form of totalitarinism is Wokeness. By far. They are the ones who foster wars, hate and unrest.

They are the ones who foster wars, hate and unrest. Woke is the ideology of a political party that obscures and hides is a massive web of inefficiency & corruption in US economy and government because it causes the people to be obsessed with nonsense while ignoring reality. But it's only part of the problem. But definitely I agree if the spread of gender and race warfare stops along with associated mental illness then it will be MAGA's great achievement. The other delusional idiocy is neo-liberalism from the 1990s which still remains in US political discourse and is still believed by the broad masses of North Americans and Europeans which is one of the reasons why there is a war in Ukraine and other parts of the world. The main ideology of the war in Ukraine and the war on terror is neo-liberal utopian-ism and American exceptionalism + The end of history ( final triumph of western liberal democracies to take over the whole world) , which is completely insane/idiotic at this point and crazily what the Democrats still cling onto along with WOKE. It allowed the people to easily accept, without much political struggle, the exploitation by corporations and the ultra-rich to take over the majority of society's wealth, brainwash them with advertising and co-op the government, and make the bottom 99% people have stagnant or lower living standards for about 25 years. It is inherently anti-human and turned everybody in the 99%+ in a career-obsessed severely underpaid working stiff/capitalist slave that cares only about money, debt, & materialism/struggling to survive and with love, family, and friends coming at a distant second. It has also massively contributed to the huge fertility decline in the West and exploded the level of mental illness & psychological problems. The most stupid/sick thing about WOKE is that it exists within the umbrella of neo-liberalism and the current paradigm & doesn't challenge it in any serious way. This means that there is no real reform of substance, and just a mentally ill mindset. MAGA ideology is against neoliberalism too. The sad thing about all of this is that these problems were obvious in the political struggles of the 1920s-1930s, which is why socialist and 'national socialist/fascist' movements rose across the world in their attempts to create a better life for the bottom 99%. We're repeating history but in a different way than before.

Well, I finished watching The Penguin and damn, it was excellent. What I loved the most was that the villain protagonist is portrayed as a real villain, not an antihero. He has no redeeming qualities, even his caring for mother has a selfish and perverted nature. Oz Cobb is a vile, slippery, ruthless and manipulative piece of sh*t that is damn interesting to watch. I also think he is a perfect product of his environment. In this Gotham, you have to be like Oz to survive. Colin Farrell deserves an Emmy, Globe, SAG and other awards that are given for television💯 To be honest, I didn't find the "shocking" twist of the finale so shocking. Although it was really unexpected and painful. ‼️SPOILER ALERT ‼️ Spoiler All the people except his own mother were just pawns in Oz's game. And it was clear from the very beginning that Vic was no exception. Vic hasn't seen Oz's "real face" yet and it would be a matter of time before he realized that Oz is no better than Falcones, Maronis and the likes of them. Or such a lifestyle would corrupt Vic so much that he would decide to "overthrow" Oz. But yes, I still felt sorry for the guy, as well as for Sofia. But most of all, I felt sorry for Francis Cobb. She spent her whole life in shit, only to become a prisoner in her own body. Truly the worst fate.

November 29, 2024Nov 29 Huh? James Gunn Denies ‘The Batman' Sequel Has Been Canceled What exactly is going on with Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” sequel? There’s been so many delays on this one that some are starting to wonder if there might be friction between Reeves and DCU boss James Gunn. In recent weeks, there’s even been talk of the possible cancellation of Reeves’ sequel, so much so that DC Studios chief James Gunn has now had to tackle the rumors. Yesterday, Gunn responded to the rumors on Threads, saying: If it was canceled it would be canceled. Who has time for charades? I’ve been one of Matt’s biggest cheerleaders for years – since Cloverfield and the Apes’ movies. We are eagerly awaiting his script. Reeves has still not submitted the script to Gunn and Warner Bros. It doesn’t help that Gunn is working on his own Batman movie (“The Brave and the Bold”) which currently has Andy Muschietti attached to direct. A recent blurb from THR cast further doubt on “The Batman: Part II,” which originally set up a mid-2025 production start. Here’s what was implied … Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson were hoping to return to ‘The Batman: Part II’ and there was hope that it could shoot sometime next year. Those hopes remain in place but nothing is close to being planned. Just a few days ago, when questioned about the script, and Reeves’ claim that it was nearing completion, Gunn replied, “I think that report was well-intentioned but it was mistaken. We are very much looking forward to it.” For now, “The Batman: Part II” is still on track for an October 2026 release. The film was originally supposed to shoot in late 2023, then 2024, and now it’s “sometime in 2025.”
