If fucking only it went broke. They’ve produced like 3 hits, 8 misses. Their budgets are a billion dollars each, how can they so consistently create garbage with a billion dollars? It’s utterly baffling. And it isn’t even entertaining garbage. I enjoyed birdemic and the like. It’s just boring, disjointed, anxiety-inducing, and dumb.
Fuck that. The morons who scream WOOOOKE at everything they don’t like that doesn’t fully cater to their worldviews are part of the reason why those shows and movies suck. Blaming bad writing on any kind of agenda is giving the writers and showrunners an undeserved scapegoat.
Yes, the latter seasons of Doctor Who were an atrocity, but it’s not because of the Doctor’s female incarnations (although the retcon itself is still horrid), it’s because Chris Chibnall is a fucking terrible showrunner and dogshit writer that makes even Moffatt’s writing look positively adequate. Fuck you, Chris.
It’s the military space battles. Most of them gloss over the whole socialist utopia as “fantasy” and just go right to “they’re just military during peace time” view
Not just that; look at it from a specific angle, and it’s about a white, straight, human male ‘saving’ the poor, savage alien species—when not beating up the evil, aggressive brown alien species, that is.
I mean, they are obviously missing a lot of the context, but they’re not pulling their beliefs out of thin air, either.
I mean it worked on me. Raised Republican, surrounded by Republicans my entire adolescence. Always voted Republican.
But then I discovered Digg after Kevin Rose talked about it on TechTV, and that changed everything for me. Then after Digg committed sudoku, I moved onto reddit, which further pulled me to the left. Now here I am on Lemmy, embarrassed with myself for being ignorant enough to actually believe that the Rs were the good guys for the first 25-some years of my life.
Point I’m making is that if I can change my ways, then others can too. The only people who vote R are either a. ignorant or b. evil. Those like me, who are the former of the two can change their ways. I don’t think there’s any hope for those who are a part of column B.
tbf, our national public education system as as literally designed by businessmem to make compliant factory workers with minimal critical thinking skills.
then religion is there at the sideline to make you feel happy being stupid
There’s a chance that media like this will get him to think, even if he initially rejects the idea.
Might be a very slim chance, though.
Media literacy is surprisingly low. Just look at how many people think Star Trek is conservative 🤦♂️
“Whoa. When the hell did Rage Against the Machine become so political?!”
“When did Star Wars get so woke, and therefore broke???”
