This is a rant. If you cannot take rough and uncouth ways of handling a subject and you’re otherwise easily offended please: get the fuck off my blog. I don’t make a dime off of it. I don’t need you crying about hurt feelings. If somehow someone misses this memo… well… who’s that on?
Oh right. YOU.
The Verge are shills and we all knew it, but holy hell, I didn’t realize the Marxism had hurt their brainpans that much.
Yes, read the article. It’s stupid, but read it.
For those who care, Marxism is defined by me as the latest iteration of the weaponization of the masses by one group of elites against another. It doesn’t have to be fully conscious. Marxism is the last stage of classical liberalism: having realized that the masses cannot make decisions that are in their own best interests, the elites try to put said masses in their back pocket and come to a new society, a utopia!
It always ends in squalor and death, both spiritual and physical.
Yes, always.
No, progressives, your fantasies of representation and a fully tolerant society will never work. Ever. You wanna know why? Because you can’t stop the majority of people from wanting a common religion that isn’t class envy, the opposite sex, babies, good and evil, and a family unit free of political interference. The vast majority of people have these drives and simply cannot have it programmed out of them. Propaganda’s power is in making the masses feel that everyone else has stopped feeling these drives but them. You can trick them but you can’t change them. Screaming “YOU’RE A HATEFUL BIGOT IF YOU DON’T WANT STORIES ABOUT WHAT I AM TOLD BY PARTIES I SHOULDN’T TRUST MY SHOELACES WITH ARE MINORITIES” will not work long-term: those primal drives mentioned above are too strong. They’re not socially programmed. They’re not constructs. They will always win, opinion be damned.
Here’s a truth I bled for, and you can take it to the bank: life and what you think of it are not the same thing. And life, at its base, is about living long enough to fuck someone, make babies, keep them from dying, and then dying after helping make sure the next generation’s good to go. Oh, and others will suffer (sometimes meaninglessly) so you can do it. Sorry, folks, that’s the average life. Pretending that ain’t so is stupid.
Y’know what our current society has decided you need to do the above? Money! And by money I mean made up numbers we throw around in a fake world. Everyone agrees it’s real. God, it’s so stupid. But there you have it.
Now, without this made up stuff you can’t fuck, raise children, or do anything else.
That’s a fact for most of us.
And your thoughts on that process are quite irrelevant. So are mine.
So if you’re going to entertain others to make your money? You better hit the common denominators. Otherwise you lose money. And then you lose your business. And then you don’t eat.
To pretend Warner Bros. wasn’t losing money is a special level of stupid, not to mention the constant bleeding of CW. So when Zaslav took over he did something that ten years ago was considered smart, and it still is. He asked “Who’s actually paying for our stuff and what are they mostly watching?” Surprise! He went along with the major demographics, cause the primal purpose of a business is to make money, because killing each other for food turns out to be a really bad idea and money ain’t great but it’s better than that.
It’s really as simple as that. Sorry, there’s no Marxist bastardization of myth going on here. It’s Zaslav’s job to make money for the company, and he’s going after the lowest common denominator. That’s smart. He should do that.
Those who think I’m just a shill, like The Verge, have clearly never read this blog.
And that’s entirely your problem.
