einlander,

The circuses have stopped, they better hope the bread keeps going.

Bread stopped in 2020. They better revive those Gracchi brothers already.

JohnDClay,

I really appreciate Dan Murrell’s perspectives on the strikes. He’s worked with these people and is really good at getting into the heads of the companies.

Seems kinda lib, really weak takes that are completely naive to what kind of radicalism is necessary to achieve anything.

JohnDClay,

Wdym? You thinking rioting or what? An actor strike is pretty bad.

I find listening to the actors and the writers themselves results in far more radicalism. They are PISSED on a level that hasn’t been seen in a while. Ron Perlman threatened to burn down the CEO of Disney’s house.

My point here is that this kinda filters everything through a lens that’s sort of weak and does not get across the level of radical that these workers are at the current point in time. People’s lives are genuinely at stake and they’re taking that with the seriousness it deserves. This seems kind of muffled by comparison. It’s not nearly as noisy, angry or radical as it should be in a situation where you have workers threatening to burn down the homes of CEOs.

Instead of filtering through a third party doing commentary it works out much better to simply display the real people on the front line and what they’re saying.

PooPooTheClown,

Ok you need to go back and edit your first comment to reflect your thoughts. I read your first comment and was all “what the hell is this person trying to say” and then read this comment and I was like “OHH that’s actually a well-written comment, I see what they’re trying to say”

Yeah it’s like… This commentator is not doing the level of severity justice here. You’ve got to get in-touch by hearing the actual workers or you get a really soft out of touch perspective on shit.

banana_meccanica,

Will be funny if the actually change/revolution start because of this. Television losing their gods, this winter brand new panic: 'Darling I can’t find anything new to watch on Netflix, bring me the letal poison pill".

fleabomber,

Or people find other interests. It could go either way, I’ll give you that.

banana_meccanica,

Yep…other interests…after years of dependency on new series, movies and stuff. I see only crazyness ahead.

fleabomber,

Man, I’m all full on apocalypse scenarios, and the one led by bored boomers has got to be at the bottom of my list.

Hopefully https://lemmy.ca/c/preppers will have given it some thought.

banana_meccanica,

You will see, this maybe looks not a kinda of big deal but not only boomers, every generation will suffer for this and not only for begin bored but mostly for let one be alone with toughts, out of enternament, in a fail world, thinking just to tomorrow, another day of work for make someone else rich, living wage by wage, without the idiocracy bless of mini-yoda on Disney plus.

progenyofthestars,

There’s so many films/series produced already. If nothing new ever came out, you’d still have enough to last more than a lifetime.

Looking back, 1985-2015 was really the golden age of cinema. So many movies got pushed out during this time, many got forgotten and are still finding their audience. We could probably get by for at least 5 years just appreciating all the older stuff that most of us never got around to watching.

Pips,

Authors waiting in the wings for just this moment.

SheeEttin,

Between this and the story about people being unable to afford food, we might be hitting the “bread and circuses” tipping point

slaacaa, (edited )

Listen to the union president’s speech (forgot her name). What she says resonates with all workers. AI will be coming for other jobs next, most white collar roles can be impacted in the next decades.

More power to Nanny Fran.
