Well Hollywood was scared shitless by the riots. So they started greenlighting black shit onto everything - even things that barely make any sense one year later - and diversitying everyfuckingthing. If you needed any proof who the real racists are, take a look at who slaps a black face onto everything just to appease a hypothetical angry mob of leftists.
Either they are banking on “diversity” investments or something...
That is EXACTLY what they are doing. They ditched their actual customers in favor of hoping for a buyout from maybe-less-than-ten super-woke ultra-shitlib bankers hanging out in silicon valley. And that's everyone right now, from games to tv shows to fashion to corporate shills on twitter - they are ALL dancing in circles for that buyout.
If I were allowed to say everything I really want to say to that generation, it'd just be a string of insults for several minutes. Thing is, they can't tell the difference between "why didn't you do your job" from the right and "why don't you just give me more money" from the left, and just fall for every single retarded left wing anti-boomer schtick in the book. Jesusfuckingchrist we just wanted you to do your jobs and throw these people out.
I love that movie, and my enjoyment of it went up tenfold when I read the book. Hollywood in general does really faithful adaptations of Michael Lewis's books. You can literally listen to the audiobook explain how to fraudulently puff up a bank's balance sheet at certain points whilst the corresponding visual is playing in the bg.
I am slowly coming to the realization all of the tactics I was taught of as "childish", "petty" and "useless" are precisely the tactics that grown-ass adults use to get their way everywhere. They were lying the whole time.
Then that person is (too) left wing, and is a lost cause. You can't look at the burning husks of the BLM riots, the nonstop bullsht at the elections, the tech yanking and fact checks in the election contests, and now the lockdowns and walk away thinking "both sides are the same". You'd have to be left wing to begin with to believe that.
I'm struggling to find something on the right that the progressives are justified in being mad at... and I can't think of a single fucking thing. This argument only works on sheep.
As to what to do about this, if you presume it's true that they're lying or they can't be saved, I think the suggestion to push them off the fence sounds about right. If you can make him acknowledge his partisanship, problem solved. If they were never deprogrammable... nothing lost.
As if they care. They'll just remove the "underage" tag and keep attacking you.
