Why is leftist entertainment divisive?

 When was the last time you saw an original story out of Hollywood that was worth watching? When was the last time you experienced creative storytelling that did not involve the co-option and retelling of previous work? When was the last time you saw a relatable, interesting and endearing protagonist? Hell, when was the last time you were actually excited to go to the movies or relax in front of the television to watch something new?

Reboots, soft reboots, remakes, live-action remakes, re-imagining, gender-swapping, race swapping, "rainbow washing" (making classic straight characters gay for virtue signal points): This is a list of new media tropes that have invaded entertainment in the past 6 years and all of them have been used so frequently that productions can now be identified as woke propaganda by a mere two-minute trailer.

The formula works something like this:

1) Co-opt a classic franchise or character that has preexisting audience appeal.

2) Market the new film, TV series, etc. as a return to nostalgia to get audiences excited.

3) Get rid of as many straight, white, or male characters as possible and replace them with token diversity. (Also for some reason they like to get rid of all the redheads).

4) Portray men as weak and incompetent. Portray white people as stupid or racist. Portray black people as constant victims. Portray women with overtly strong masculine character traits, but also as victims.

5) Make sure there is a perfect pie chart of ethnicity in every single scene despite the statistics and demographics of a place or time. It doesn't matter if a story is set in an ancient Viking village in the north of Europe or in the elitist estates of Victorian England, minorities must be represented as main characters despite all historical facts.

6) If a classic male character cannot be changed without alienating potential customers from spending their money, pretend he is a major part of the story to trick people into theaters, then make him weak and pathetic, the opposite of a hero. Or, just kill him.

7) Steal plot points, story beats and even dialogue directly from other more creative films and productions. Pretend you came up with all that stuff on your own. Or, do a reboot, and copy an older production directly while adding your own woke changes wherever possible.

8) Now, market the product as a "re-imagined version" updated for "modern audiences."

9) Immediately start attacking anyone who might criticize the product before they ever do so. Make the customers and the fans into villains if they refuse to give you their money. Accuse them of bigotry and blame your inevitable failure on racism, sexism, misogyny, etc. It wasn't your fault that your story bombed, it is the fault of "incels" and "boomers" and all the uncultured swine out there filled with hate. They sabotaged you. They are the problem.

10) Rinse. Repeat.

Yes, it sounds pathetic but this is the state of entertainment today and it has been a pervasive problem for several years now. The industry has always had a bit of a progressive problem, but in the past, this was balanced out by more conservative business interests. But beyond that, liberals used to be more creative in general, now they are devoid of all imagination. Why?

My theory is that as progressives turned increasingly to the social justice cult, a wave of narcissism has suffocated any and all potential for creative freedom. Narcissists tend to have no imagination, and the woke ideology is essentially a religion for narcissists.

Social Justice is a system of belief that uses victim status as a currency. It tells its adherents that each one of them is so special and unique that the world revolves around them and their pronouns. It tells them that they are entitled to respect and admiration from everyone regardless of their lack of accomplishment, lack of knowledge, lack of talent, lack of beauty, lack of intelligence, lack of propriety, lack of restraint, lack of kindness, etc.

These people have no class and no shame, and they think this is a virtue, a strength. You are supposed to idolize them for it, and if you don't then you must be a fascist. How are you supposed to compose a tale that holds people's attention and touches their souls when you are so self-absorbed?

Storytelling requires several things in order to be successful, and they are all things that leftist have no concept of. You must have:

The ability to self-reflect, but also the ability to write characters outside of yourself. If you have to see yourself in every single character in a story and if every story has to represent you in some way, then you are a narcissist and you should abandon your dreams of writing now.

You need an inherent sense of story flow. Some people are naturally good at playing music. Good storytelling is a lot like music in the way plot points and emotions ebb and flow. Either you have the knack, or you don't. It's not something that can be learned.

You cannot tell a story with the intent to lie and propagandize. It is selfish and disrupts narrative flow. Even if the basic premise is good, the content will feel false and sometimes dated to audiences. People can feel when they are being lied to, or preached at. They might not know it at the time, but they will not return to your stories in the future. Their intuition will tell them not to.

Stories are usually built on basic archetypes. Archetypes are inherent psychological constructs that help human beings relate to each other and also help us relate to foundational morals and principles. Archetypes exist across cultures and across geopolitical boundaries. If we didn't have these constructs in our heads from birth, we would have destroyed ourselves thousands of years ago. You cannot change archetypes. They are eternal. Try to change them or deconstruct them and you will fail.

You are not entitled to an audience. The audience owes you nothing. Either your story is good and they relate to it, or your story is garbage and they don't relate to it. It's as simple as that. People are not required to consume your product to make a "political statement." And they are not evil for refusing to spend their money on propaganda. If you enter into storytelling with the intent to create conflict with your audience, then you are probably a bad storyteller.

Media and entertainment are the modern methods of passing on ideas and exploring debates within our culture, and when only one extreme viewpoint is represented within our story lexicon this creates chaos and imbalance in society. The woke movement has utterly poisoned our cultural well and it is incapable of addressing the basic functions of reflection. We cannot look at ourselves honestly through stories when liars and narcissists are in charge of the storytelling apparatus.

To truth and knowledge,

32 Survival Uses for Vaseline

Vaseline is an American brand of products made from petroleum jelly. Petroleum jelly has its roots as a by-product of the oil refining industry in the 1800s. This unique, jelly-like substance has many uses and a long shelf-life, making it well-suited for homesteading and survival situations. 

Vaseline makers suggest a 'best if used by' date of around three years for a new container of Vaseline. However, anecdotal evidence shows people may be using their jars for as long as 5 to 10 years. Given its long shelf-life, you may want to stock up on Vaseline so you have it on hand for its many homesteading and survival uses.

Remember:  You can’t buy life insurance after you’re dead!

When you think about packing up items to help you survive a natural or human-made disaster, you often think of backpacks. And there is good reason.

Backpacks are sturdy, lightweight, and with multiple pouches and pockets, they allow you to stow a large number of essentials. They come in expandable widths and sizes to fit even your smallest family members. And the best part is that your hands remain free with a backpack.
