What riots? There were never riots. Rioting is an alt-right lie spread by incel trolls in order to dehumanize minorities and deny them their existence. There have never been race riots in America, Civil Rights were won for Blxcks by peacefully protesting and telling the police that they were hurting people’s feelings.

In 1968, we didn't yet understand the utility of helicopters.

It used to be common for movies and tv shows to get held if their content clashed with horrific real life events, e.g. a show with a school shooting wouldn't be released immediately after a real life school shooting.

But just days after two police officers are ambushed sitting in their car and both shot in the head (during a period of some of America's worst and most volatile civil unrest) these servile weasels release some of the most partisan and pandering political content I've ever seen, specifically encouraging the incitement of violence.

One of the very few areas in which the abuse of free speech can legitimately be punished (after the fact) is in the direct incitement to violent or harmful acts. I'm pretty sure this doesn't technically fall within those laws but just as sure it violates them in spirit and intent.

If an extremist priest whips his devout flock into a rabid frenzy of hate and then tells them to go out and kill some gay/black people for God, he is held partially responsible for the crimes they commit based on the fact that he knew his actions were certain to produce violent harm. There is no way the people making this excrement are not aware that those watching it will use it as justification for their own future violence.

The police across America need to start a watch list of citizens who have effectively given up the privilege of receiving assistance and when Sorkin and his ilk invariably turn them in future in desperate need of help, they should tell them instead to once again appeal to the mob.

And here I was considering going back to Netflix since I just bought a nice new 4k TV.

Guess I'll stick with my (free) Disney+ for 4k content.

EDIT: I can only assume I'm getting downvoted because people here think I should go back to Netflix...or they're jealous of my new TV,

That's why I put (free) there, I'm not paying for it, it came with my phone. Not that it matter much, most of the people who blather about boycotts on the internet don't do it themselves.

I don't know why you're getting downvotes either?

Personally, I half-like Aaron Sorkin. I like his dialogue, the witty stuff and walk or talk. But he, like most lefties seems to be permanently blind to the actual law, or the Constitution or anything like that.

It's also weird that the left still has this hard-on for him given that pretty much every main character on the West Wing would be considered a far-right or far-right "adjacent". I could dig up probably ten examples of things West Wing characters said, put them in say Ted Cruz mouth, and they'd call him a fascist.

The left essentially feels like "Government is for us. And that means it does everything we decide it does, we DICTATE to it, and it does what we dictate." Fucking thank god for the electoral college.

They are not blind to it. They just hate that it also extends to people they don't like.

Not a fan of paying people to tell me how horrible I am.
