My older brother is the reason that I got into "nerd culture" since I read his sci-fi books as a kid as well as his comic books before I started collecting my own. Also, before he got too old for it we watched G.I. Joe religiously (imagine that cartoon on today). He a wife and three kids now so he is out of the loop for a lot of geek stuff, so when I told him that Amazon was going to have a Lord of the Ring show we both got a good laugh because the first thing he said was "so how long before the articles bashing Tolkien or whining about lack of diversity start"
It is so funny because with all the reboots/sequels I swear it is like clockwork to see articles from supposed life long fans of something that now "realize" all the racism/sexism in the original show/movie. I remember the gushing critic articles for Ghostbusters 2016 and it has only become worse since. I'm currently on the last book of Wheel of Time series and I've already seen articles calling it sexist and complaining about abuse to women. That whole Geeker Gate thing was spot on.
I've honestly given up on modern entertainment. There's a lot in the old times to appreciate. No need to give money to diversicrats or even to watch their propaganda.
That said, I probably will pirate Amazon's LOTR just to see, but having looked at the characters - who looked like Retard School - I am probably not going to be very interested.
I'm sorry to say, but Macron is right. America is corrupting the world. You are the Mordor, but fortunately populated by something besides Orcs (SJWs).
It's worse than that I think. For so long, American culture has been a corner stone of the west, You get 80s American tv shows in former USSR countries just coming out of the break up and everyone is copying stuff from that. This matters because that's been ingrained for such a long time, that when US culture started to degenerate and go into a purity spiral like it is now, it drags every other country with it. It's why you have Antifa set up in other countries, people in Britain marching for BLM. When you have a culture that's regressing and collapsing in on itself, it drags everything into it like a black hole.
Very well stated.
Except for the part where antifa literally existed in Europe first. And all of the intellectuals responsible for modern leftist doctrine came from Europe. Just because America imported this shit and enabled it with free speech doesn't mean Europe is not to blame.
The racial and gender components of modern leftism are obviously more pronounced in America. Cultural Marxism was a necessary pivot in the States because American workers were anti-communist. In Europe, this pivot was unnecessary because Marxism was already mainstream.
I know you like to blame non-jews however you can. Call them Bolsheviks if you must. But don't pretend that all of this began in the 60s with American college students.
It wasn't even that American workers were anti-communist, but specifically that they didn't respond to class warfare rhetoric. That was because the communists never quite understood America and the fact that it was not a well-established nation-state with a contracting middle class. When communism first showed up on American shores the country was still expanding so there was still room for class mobility. Even into the 1950s the G.I. Bill created a path to the middle class for millions.
Only now that the country has more or less filled up and the frontier is closed do people start responding to the rhetoric of class warfare -- because it actually applies. Of course by now the establishment has switched to using racist rhetoric instead. Doesn't matter, though. The working class knows who their actual oppressors are, and it sure ain't "wypipo".
