The Sopranos was propaganda. It depicted weak, disorganized, and shrinking organized crime. At a time when it was anything but. They just moved from semi independent to fully government controlled.
Anyways.. yea.. Deadwood was HBO. They hated the show though and they killed it after only 2 seasons. They had to fight to get the third.
Also, having never seen The Sopranos, I am going to go out on a limb and say they painted organized crime as solely carried out by Italian immigrants and no other group.
Hesh Rabkin: Jewish businessman who made his initial fortune in the recording industry, founding "F-Note Records" during the 1950s and 1960s, bringing many young black musicians to prominence, and receiving royalties by being fraudulently credited as a co-writer on many songs.
I binged watched True Blood a year ago. I couldn't figure out what Ensign Ro was doing there. I liked it. It was interesting to watch knowing it was considered oversexualized for its time since things have gotten even more sexualized since then.
It was a long time ago since I saw it, I liked it as a whole but really didn't like the Ifrit, felt like the smoke from Lost which is a show I despise.
I never watched Lost. There are lots of shows that came out when I was either playing video games, or decided I needed to be more productive like reading. I like watching shows that are already over, because I despise cliffhangers.
I think I watched quite a few episodes of the first season as it was being aired, but eventually my family gave up on it because everyone thought it was shit.
It's always hard to start watching a show midway through it's run. Particularly if it's still following the broadcast TV model.
You pirate or binge stream watch entire seasons, get invested, then have to wait weeks or even entire calendar seasons like a retarded boomer to get dripfed the episodes from here on out.
Even Tiktok, I don't think is going to work. The post-2016 mass censorship did a lot of damage to the social fabric, but it certainly didn't deradicalize anyone. I suspect the censorship will be just enough to make people even madder, while still being possible to circumvent.
And all it has accomplished is giving the groypers more evidence to point at as they convince more people that Israel is our enemy. They are so desperate to maintain control that they have dropped all subtlety or pretense of plausible deniability.
Their audacity will only add oxygen to the fire that is rising against them. These are the last gasps of a dying empire.
They are doing this on c/TheDonald too. TheDonald has been censoring posts that criticize Israel. Israeli hasbara agents have infiltrated the mod team.
Why do dominant ideologies, religions, or belief systems that are the backbone of great civilizations eventually suddenly collapse? The explanation is quite simple: adversity.
If a generation is raised with a certain indoctrination and then finds that the world operates exactly as they were taught, they have no reason to question their indoctrination. The world goes in accordance with their beliefs. Those who succeed within the system will naturally also become their defenders, as it is convenient to defend a system where one has prestige.
Conversely, if an indoctrinated generation grows up and finds that the world does not match what they were indoctrinated, they experience adversity. The greater the gap between their beliefs and reality, the stronger the adversity becomes. Eventually, some will grow to resent the system and try to change or dismantle it to suit their needs.
The demand for change scares the elite (who benefit from the status quo) who respond by increasing propaganda and indoctrination to maintain control. However, this only heightens the sense of adversity. Instead of stopping rebels, more indoctrination backfires, creating civilization destroyers. The fact that the elite heighten propaganda during decadence should be seen as a symptom of being unsuitable to lead.
No system, not even a perfect one, lasts forever. A civilization cannot grow indefinitely; eventually, it reaches a point of saturation and can no longer expand. This will lead to a final confrontation, manifesting as a relentless series of crises.
I've never had a TikTok account and actively avoid even clicking on links going to it. Don't have cable and also actively avoid watching any links going to CBS or their websites.
Good luck with that, zionist billionaires. Next I guess they'll try to have their minions in state and federal legislatures make watching mandatory.
What happened to Glenn Greenwald? He used to be mostly reasonable and rational, but not any longer. 🙁
Now he sounds like that fuck-wit Johan Goldberg. The guy who pretends to be "conservative" but hates every Republican idea and sucks the tit of any Democrat :/
He's the same as he always has been. Has idiotic opinions, but at least generally tells the truth about things that actually happened and what people actually did and said.
Greenwald's still a decent source of current affairs programming.
The problem with Glenn and other former Democrat/center-left type like Jimmy Dore is that they are still obsessed with all things pro-Palestine while never actually naming international jewry, only focusing criticism on Israel as a nation state.
They aren't necessarily wrong. But their one-notedness makes watching their content in general hard to stomach on a regular basis.
i don't give a shit about your precious gEnOcIdE. you're two warring clans of desert faggots who should stay on your side of the planet and leave my country alone.
...and the under 30 generation don't watch ANY OF THEM except for TikTok.
Are there any iconic Current Year HBO shows that would be roughly equivalent to The Sopranos in its heyday?
I'm trying to think of other iconic HBO shows, but am getting them mixed up with AMC classics like Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, etc.
Was Deadwood HBO?

They had some Jews in there, but they were not depicted as anywhere near as powerful as they actually are.
There was one jew.
He was subservient to the mob.

Deadwood is HBO and its arguably better than Sopranos
And The Wire was better than both.

My kids, and I quit X Files damn near exactly where I quit it as a teeny bopper. Some shows just don't do it for you.

Wednesday had two years between seasons. I forgot it existed.

Anyone using the word groypers unironically is 100% Jew.

Yea, but look how dumb they are, they think CNN and TIkTok are the keys to political hegemony.
Fucking morons.
The keys? No, but every platform they seize is to deny safe harbor to their opposition.

Or have order Trump to issue an executive order.
Boomers don't even watch CBS

You sound retarded, or like an israeli shill. It's redundant though, they're both the same.
Sounds like Andrew Sullivan.
I get HBO free from at&t. I'm usually watching B.
i don't give a shit about your precious gEnOcIdE. you're two warring clans of desert faggots who should stay on your side of the planet and leave my country alone.
