      It would ultimately be just as empty. Even if Feige came out today and said they were halting all Marvel productions until Kimmel’s show was reinstated, he would be fired and we’d all be reading about who’s going to be the next boss at marvel.

      There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars.

      We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, u/bufalo1973. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, u/bufalo1973. It has been since man crawled out of the slime.

      RDJ probably doesn’t like Kimmel. Cause Kimmel ”joked” about RDJ’s drug addiction at the Oscars.

        That shouldn’t matter, in the past I’ve stood up for people who I didn’t like. It didn’t stop me from doing what I viewed as the right thing to fo.

          Yeah but RDJ is not a morally upstanding person. Dude is still friends with Mel Gibson because Gibson helped him decades ago. Loyalty is probably more important to him than doing the righteous thing.

            Guy, screeching about loyalty to someone who helped you through drug addiction isn’t the burn you think it is. As someone with a Trumper parent who has been brainwashed I fully empathize and understand that challenge.

              Your parent shows no loyalty to the human race, why should you show loyalty to them? They show no empathy for anyone who isn’t white, rightwing, “Christian”, and able bodied.

              Maybe if these Trumpers experienced consequences, like being cut off by their children, they would question who they’re truly loyal to. A fascist dictator cult of personality, or their offspring.

              If many people stuck to their principles, throughout the world, instead of some bullshit loyalty, then we may have avoided this global authoritarianism. But here we are.

    I never stopped pirating. It’s been so weird seeing the zeitgeist over the past 15 years shifted into corporate ass kissing. Like I get it. Everyone grew up and became working stiffs. Sat in your stuffy suits in cubicles and started believing the corporate bullshit you had to huff every day.

    It’s been weird though. How we went from the great recession Occupy Wall Street mindset into a 180 pivot of pro-corporations. I sure did enjoy being lectured about paying monthly fees for owning nothing and making sure I enjoying it like a good consumer.

      People were guilted into thinking that the people working on TV and movies wouldn’t get paid. It wasn’t “corporate ass-kissing” more like the no-name camera guy should get paid for their work.

      Now I don’t know if that’s actually true, things are still getting made and actors are making shit loads of money.

    Oh good, this means I won’t ever have to worry about a season 2 of She Hulk ever coming out.
