>“You are forced to make a particular kind of movie,” [George] Lucas said to Rose, complaining about the need to make profitable films. “I used to say this all the time when people — you know, back when Russia was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. And they’d say, oh, but aren’t you so glad that you’re in America? I said, well, I know a lot of Russian filmmakers, and they have a lot more freedom than I have. All they have to do is be careful about criticizing the government.”

I've loved video games always wanted to be a game developer since I was a kid. However after doing a bunch of research I find the industry is scummy, ruined by capitalism of DLCs/MTX, etc. Its almost like any creative medium, whether traditional art, games, movies, etc. is ruined by MBAs and the profit motives and its funny how gamers can realize this and bitch about it nonstop when it comes to companies making every game into a glorified whale hunting lootbox/barely legalized gambling for children. However gamers are notoriously right wing and anti communist as well (ex: Destiny, Sargon, Quartering etc.).

Even high art is just a tax racket for the super wealthy, and relies on wealthy patrons (and always has). Opera, Orchestras? the same. Hollywood is shit too.

Reading all this shit of how hard it is to make it in a creative industry, and to do so you would have to be as scummy and exploitative as these fucks has really black-pilled my dreams. Isn't there anywhere someone can tell a great story under capitalism, or make a great piece of art, or music, or game without it being financially impossible or MBAified shit? Art shouldn't be transactional yet thats exactly the hole that capitalism forces it into. Even novelists are forced to write to a certain genre and play the capitalism game to get published.

Its well known (capitalist realism and all) that art, music and cinema under capitalism is becoming stagnant and bad. I don't think this is because of a lack of creativity of people, in fact I think that the fact we have the few good creations is really is a testament of how people have been able to succeed despite the system not because of it. Art will always be mediocre if it is designed by a room full of passionless soulless MBAs in a way to maximize shareholder profits.

The truth is art will never be truly great until it is free and will never truly be free until it is made free from the need to profPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Thoughts Eldridge Cleaver, he was an influential black panther member and one time leader of the group

he was originally a black nationalist and Marxist, actually got kicked out of BPP cause he wanted "real violent struggle" i.e direct war against the United states(which would have gotten them all killed tbh) went to meet up with various left wing intonational guerilla groups, became a born again Christian in France, then turned to Islam, then Catholicism, tried making up his own religion mixing Christianity and Islam he called 'Christlam' and finally settled with Mormonism in 1983 and then ended up a Republican as well

overall he was a horrible person(raped scores of black women and his justification was that it was practice for him to rape white women and not get caught and also that he could rekindle his passion for black women that he had lost that he blamed on white supremacy)

To be clear, I don't mean this as a defense of the CIA at all. In fact, I often tend to lean towards thinking the CIA is guilty rather than not myself, but I wanted to make this post just to try and pick apart my own views critically.
I frequently see people confidently claiming that the CIA was involved in [insert basically any notable political death/murder or socialist coup] in leftist circles. And to give some credit, I think some of these are pretty public knowledge. In most cases, there is no verifiable information that could link the CIA to the death, but I get the feeling that leftists are sometimes quick to jump at any "unusual circumstances" around a death as CIA-related without a very strong link.
What separates these from just being the left's own flavor of conspiracy theories? Even with the most conservative interpretation of CIA history (e.g. things that have been definitively proven) would they still be anywhere near as dangerous as they seem?

Are you ready for 20 years of economic depression in the West? Because that is what the Pentagon decided we need to stop the rise of China and Russia. You think inflation is bad now? Imagine it going on at this rate for two. fucking. decades.

Haven’t you noticed how feds will all have this smug “witty” attitude when they’re online? They sound exactly like redditfags. Pics related: This glowuygha was caught being an agent for the NED. You can find more evidence of this on twatter: https://twitter.com/DanielDumbrill/status/1374157179121397760
I'll show more examples of this weird phenomenon.
Note: I asked this question here >>655576 and some anon made a great response to it but his response "somehow" got deleted. He basically explained that the idea is to overwhelm the other opposing commentators in order to sound intelligent and give off a sense of legitimacy. The anon claimed it's likely written in a handbook somewhere because it's so common among glowies.

I am curious as to how you think about globalist powers such as the EU, WEF, NATO and UN. Personally I am anti-globalist although I understand there are benefits to certain alliances: so I don't advocate for leaving the NATO for example. I was also curious as to how you think left wing politics would improve the quality of life since I capitalism has increased the quality of life a lot compared to decades ago.(allow this topic for now pls)

Pentagon struggling with recruitment
The Pentagon is “scrambling” for ways to find new recruits as multiple branches fear they will not reach their annual enrollment goals, with the number of young Americans willing to join the military hitting its lowest level in 15 years.

According to an internal Defense Department survey seen by NBC, just 9% of eligible citizens aged 17-24 have any intention to serve in the armed forces, the lowest number since 2007. Coupled with a fall in the overall number of Americans qualified to join – which has dropped from 29% to 23% in recent years – one senior Pentagon official involved in personnel issues said the military now faces a “recruiting crisis.”

“As the military has gotten smaller and the public has gotten less and less familiar with those in uniform, [the crisis] has grown,” the official told NBC, adding that “Covid accelerated it.”

While the pool of potential recruits has gradually shrunk due to an increasing number of disqualifications over obesity, drug use, or criminal records, a growing number of young Americans believe military service is not in their best interest. More than half of those surveyed by the Pentagon, or 57%, said that joining would result in “emotional or psychological problems,” while a similar number cited concerns about “physical problems.”

“They think they’re going to be physically or emotionally broken after serving,” another senior military official familiar with the recruiting problems told the outlet, adding that a general lack of familiarity with the armed forces is driving the crisis.

Though the Pentagon believes parents are a major influence in whether an individual decides to join, the Defense Department survey shows that just 13% of respondents said they had a parent who served in the military, down from nearly 40% in 1995.

Even as the Pentagon faces what the Marine Corps officer in charge of manpower dubbed “the most challenging recruiting year since the inception of the all-volunteer force,” some branches say they should reach their targets despite the difficulties, including the Space Force, the Marines, and the Navy. Others are lagging well behind their goals, however.

Overpopulation is a myth of scarcity like all the others. There are more than enough resources to support all of us and more — capitalism manufactures the scarcity. We don’t need to be policing peoples procreation to save the planet and there is a specific term for that: ecofascism.
