Interesting. They didn't seem to have a problem with him ridiculing white people, and suggesting that blacks and jews should stop fighting each other and gang up on whitey.
I guess chinese money and influence trumps white money and influence. And while Leibowitz may be the sacrificial lamb here, jewish money and influence tends to trump all at the end of the day.
Can't say I care that much either way. I never watched his show, and I don't subscribe to AppleTV. Nothing of value was lost.
Big Tech holds more power in the USA than the white voting base. Let that sink in.
I wish that weren't completely accurate, but I fear it is, anymore.
BIG moves need to be made.
yes they do. although they are all quite frustrated they haven't made more headway into real positions of power despite their money. Gen-X-ers with money. They almost all happen to be gay or women too. Tongue in cheek they are referred to as the gay nerd industrial complex. Marc Andreessen Peter Thiel and such.
They're all weird, rich, and do not believe in the republic, Hamilton, Washington, or any of the core founding values of the USA (nationalism, protectionism, a republic and never a democracy with universal voting)
If you're a futurist of any kind, you probably don't believe in democracy. When you're a libertarian, you don't try to push people but rather align incentives so that they kind of end up doing the right thing. Democracy doesn't work when it devolves to a contest of raiding the treasury, as has been seen many times worldwide. So I understand looking at what's going on democratically and being like this could never work to secure us a bright future.
You can't throw in a bunch of different people and expect them to get along democratically. For controlling those disparate masses, you need some other kind of government.

He's basically saying: "Look, goys, it's China that's censoring you."
Apple had a problem with AI and China shows according to Jon Stewart. Well what problem did they have with it?
180k watched the first episode of The Problem, 40k watched the fifth.
So what if Apple told the show they're slashing the budget since the audience never materialized? And the AI and China episodes were next up. Well then Apple did have a problem with those episodes and it's just a small white lie(bowitz) to omit that their problem was the show is a turd.
