"They should call it Wokewood"
"How about HollyWOKE"
"Ooh, yeah, that's even better"
These are the dullest people on the planet.
Why not Wokeywoke?
Hollywood? More like woke woke woke wokewokewokee WOKEWOKEWOKE SCREAMING WOKE WOKE WOKE WOKE
Woke woke WokeWoke?
Boogie WokeyWokey?
I was going to say that if these were my reply guys I kinda get why Elon thinks he's a genius.
Was coming to say this, the fact they need help punching up a way to work "woke" into "holywood" is a perfect example of why the vast majority of creative endeavors are by leftwing people.
You cannot overstate how fucking dull and uncreative these people are.
You can't even parody them. We pretend to make jokes like they would make and they're funnier more creative and less ham fisted and we don't even believe in any of it.
In COMMIEFORNIA
Run by BRANDON
Seriously, they're so fucking stupid
If this person took a stab at it it would be Califoni-commie
Once again non chuds are accidently and ironically more creative and better at this then they are.
WOKEwood😂😂
because it's WOKE🤣🤣🤣🤣
As opposed to the good ol’ days when conservatives never, ever accused Hollywood of producing left wing propaganda.
The new hip trend of accusing Hollywood of being filled with communists. If they could read just a little bit of history, my brain would stop summoning blood clots.
Really is entertaining to watch them crown themselves as revolutionary individualists as they do all the exact same things we were taught is what the dumbest portion of the country has been doing non stop since 1930.
One of my de-
-ing moments was when I realized how many white supremacists like American History X. Before Facebook really locked down privacy to everyone but themselves, you could view lists of people who Liked things, and the venn diagram of folks who Liked American History X and the literal Stormfront website was damn near a circle. Really forced me to rethink satire and The Daily Show and shit that gave platforms to the ideas of the right.Wouldn't be the first time that only the fascists seem capable of articulating an economic message that resonates with the vox populi.
The Daily Show and shit that gave platforms to the ideas of the right.
There's a certain value in a show that actually lets you know these people exist, and that its not just the NicePoliteRepublican crowd in the empty suits issuing the "Why can't you just be reasonable? Socialism doesn't work!" coin-operated responses. I don't really object to Stewart playing pool with Lindsey Graham or platforming Perez Musharraf, because these are people you ultimately need to know fucking exist, even if it takes some D-list comedy dork to introduce them.
Stewart gets slack because he was the last man on television who was allowed to talk about a national anti-war movement, even as folks like Donahue and the Dixie Chicks were getting axed left and right. He was a squishy liberal with a South Park-esque juvenile homophobia, but he managed to be the most left-leaning voice in a media awash in reactionary psychosis.
But once you started to get a more active leftist media in the post-Occupy Wall Street era, what were you supposed to do with Stewart? He rapidly became a relic of his own era. Dude should have retired back in 2012, rather than getting resurrected in 2023.
On radio war nerd recently they did a series on notable war movies, and one of the points John made was that its extremely hard to make an effective antiwar movie. Movies are big budget entertainment that is supposed to look striking, draw the audience in and make them feel something. Even "antiwar" movies like apocalypse now or full metal jacket look awesome. The visceral reaction that movies and the movie experience is designed to engender undermines their ability to critique a subject rather than glorify it. That discussion was in the context of war but I feel it applies here as well. See also every criminal antihero that people love (scarface, breaking bad, etc)
Oh yeah, totally. If you wanna rile me up just show me a movie where the biggest asshole in the movie is drop dead gorgeous.
I cut my teeth on the Daily Show, but it didn't take long for me to find real leftist literature because of my interest in politics and the 60's. I remember being into NPR and realizing how much cover they ran for right wing ideas in order to appear "fair and balanced" only to still be called commies by anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders. These people sell their soul for absolutely nothing in return. If people like Jon Stewart and Ira Glass had skin in the game, they would be ashamed of themselves.
new version of American History X but reverse the races
Wouldn't chuds moan like crazy if you had a movie where a black guy or something crush a white guy's skull on the curb?
Yes even if the entire point of the movie was that the black guy was wrong and bad and every single shot of the movie reinforced and supported that.
Conservatives are literally incapable of reading subtext. Everything about them makes a lot more sense if you start to think of them as poorly programmed computer scripts that can only interact with information on the most l8teral and basic level.
This is indistinguishable from us doing bits trying to sound like chuds. They actually talk like that
No wonder why the lemmy libs get so confused. We're the sarcastic Australians of the left when it comes to this shit it seems
American history X, a movie about Neo nazi gangs, a thing that really exists and the racial terror the commit. A real thing that happens. Reverse the races and it's just weird wish fulfillment for mayos who are horny in the worst ways.
It's also just really mid
it is incredibly mid..if you have to watch a movie about skinheads being pieces of shit Romper Stomper is a better bang for buck (also not a fantastic movie but miles ahead of American History X).
right wing infighting is just racist people fighting other racist people on how to be more racist
Quisling, famously woke historical figure.
Where any of the Noms really that "woke" even by neurotic Chud standards? Unless we've gotten to the point that they're doing BLATANT Holocaust apologia.
damn what is the oscar controversy now?
Nothing, just that the show exists. Reactionaries have spun themselves so tightly that they can't see anything outside of the woke or based dichotomy.
