      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.
