'Woke' is a belief that we have reached the end of history and nothing new can be created, everything must be evenly distributed, and old grievances must be picked at like bad scabs. It's a miserable mindset, but has allowed popular culture to be wholly monopolised by a few companies (Disney chief among them) who can churn out retreads without criticism.This is what shits me about current attitudes. Once upon a time you made a film and the audience other liked it or they didn't. Jaws was critically acclaimed and commercially successful. The sequels got progressively shitter and made less money. These days the studios would just remake Jaws and cast Quint, Hooper and Brody with stunning and brave minority actors and if it bombs it's the audience's fault for being sexist and racist.
Oh god. The white persecution. Stahp!!!!!
That would make sense if there was no full stop and no capitalised word after it.
But it makes a decent Dad joke. Good work.
Read your own post you look.

As recent recipient of the MacArthur genius grant Ibram X Kendi says, the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination and the only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination. As I said, it’s a miserable view of the world where nothing can get better as a collective for humanity, but must be a zero-sum game where one group wins and the other losesIt’s a nice fantasy you have there.
Maybe it was sent by telegram.That would make sense if there was no full stop and no capitalised word after it.
Isn't Jessica Rowe pulling her podcast off the air an example of the invisible hand working? Rather than cancel culture at play you could argue it's her market telling her that they'll boycott her pod and all the associated advertising revenue that comes with those clicks if she doesn't pull the Hanson interview and she acted. Unfettered capitalism at work, Friedman would approve.
But how? Was she in danger of her podcast being removed?
I wonder when it will be time for tv sticoms to switch things up from the stereotypical norm. Instead of the bumbling idiot husband and the super intelligent controlling wife, swap it around. I would love to see the reactions from social media to that. We all know that wouldnt get past the pilot episode, even if it was successful in the ratings. The raving mob would shut it down.
Yep. From what I understand most movies lose money. The all-women Ghostbusters did particularly poorly, but instead of it being blamed on poor quality (or lack of imagination) producers can instead blame the audience. Hollywood has completely run out of ideas, as this short clip indicates
We live in the wake of a dying culture.
Predecessor in style and form to How I Met Your Mother.Never seen it. Did u find one did you?
Is this based on the allegations of Lisa De Vanna, the former Matildas player? It's an interesting topic for sure. I'm not sure anyone disputes the fact that 'minority' groups have their own problems when it comes to sexual issues, domestic violence etc... But it certainly isn't something most (including media and celebrity), are comfortable dealing with in isolation.Gay people are never predators apparently.
It’s as untenable a position as saying all gays are predators
