Disney, which owns seven studios, including Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and 20th Century, has put its creative ranks on notice. “We have to entertain first — it’s not about messages,” Bob Iger, Disney’s CEO, said at a conference late last year. “I don’t really want to tolerate the opposite.”
Sure, Bob. Because you totally cared when the message was generating all those tweets and you thought it was actual engagement rather than the empty platitudes that social media was and always shall be.
Bob is trying to backpedel his way out of the mess he has made after the stock is tanking, investors dont trust him anymore, and he is actually starting to face hard questions about what he is doing (the last earnings call, a lot of formerly friendly investors started asking him why all of their movies were bombing).
This is just the Ministry of Truth recalibrating itself.
The farmers haven't stopped herding the sheep.
The sheep were being driven too fast and the dogs were getting too eager, snapping at them with too much force. Some disorder was starting to spread, so the farmers have called on their dogs to run wider circles, to gather the flock in a huddle, to rest for a while and calm them down before the journey continues.
Agreed. Disney is trying to put the lid back on the boiling pot and be more subversive in their propaganda. There is less than no desire to stop messaging. The issue is that they need messaging to be more covert, and not at the expense of the business.
The roughly 110 to 120 IQs are the ones who make up the administrative state and the management apparatus. These midwits, the Professional Managerial Class, are always true believers, flag bearers of the empire ideology.
The top 5% don't believe, but they push the message because the true purpose of any empire ideology is to serve the elite.
The 90-110 IQs are the PMCs natural enemy, they represent a commonsensical challenge to the dogma.
Which is why the apparatchiks are hateful of the working classes. They want them to suffer, demoralized, on the brink of breaking; with just enough purpose to continue making their artisan shoes and cakes, but not enough to object or resist.
The most urgent purpose of propaganda is to pacify the plurality. They need them isolated, feeling defeated, disorganized, drugged up and drunk.
They need to normalize the negative externalities of the empire ideology that are seeping in all around them, to keep them pacified on their walk to the abattoir. It is for these people that the party's final, most essential command exists: make them reject the evidence of their eyes and ears.
The lower IQs are the PMC's weapons, which they rile up and pacify at will to whip the middle, and otherwise to mindlessly but diligently drone the fields. The secondary purpose of propaganda is to keep these resentful, hateful, sadistic, and ready to storm the streets.
And...?
Sure, Bob. Because you totally cared when the message was generating all those tweets and you thought it was actual engagement rather than the empty platitudes that social media was and always shall be.
tl;dr get fucked.
Nothing. The problem is in the first line.
Until that's fixed you will have a movie company that produces whatever it wants without any real competition.
Bob Iger is about as qualified as a weatherman. He can tell you which way the wind is blowing. That's about it.
FUCKING LOL
I almost imagined that I could believe you for a moment!
