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.

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.

Vaseline...

Prepare now to lessen the impact of disasters and emergencies
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.
