why did America destroy its strongest weapon
>>218664801They are exporting woke, diversity, feminism, gayness and race mixing through it like never before
>>218664801Hollywood peaked with Marvel Endgame, not in quality, but in influence. After the pandemic, everything went downhill. It should be a sign of the times that the most-watched film of 2025 was a Chinese one (Ne Zha 2)...although I suspect the chinks inflated the numbers. Even so, things aren't looking good. And I'm glad it's this way; I hope the American left learns that nobody cares about their progressive crap
>>218666021>American left>LearningI like your optimism.
>>218666021Was Ne Zha even displayed outside of China? I always felt this was some kind of a weird own that was technically true in that it sold many tickets but not relevant globally and might have happened before to previous china-only movies but for some reason media ran with this one..
>>218664801they got too cocky and kept pushing further and further left
>>218664801The weapon got dirty and began misfiring. That's why it's important to clean the filth out of your weapons regularly.
America did not, like McCarthy said, the seeds of cultural marxism were planted there and in other institutions by the Soviets and communists, unfortunately for the USSR it took too long for it to bear fruit and they aren't around to witness their cultural victory
>>218666222But this "cultural victory" wouldn't help the Soviets acieve what they actually wanted, i.e., a socialist takeover of the US. The Soviets were socially conservative and despised a lot of what we'd call "woke", and they viewed it as degenerate and pathetic. But however dominant leftist cultural/social beliefs and policies might be, they haven't brought the country any closer to socialism at any meaningful level. The billionares and corporate powers in the US are more powerful and dominant than ever before, and they're smart enough to know how to co-opt this woke bullshit.
>>218666222I am an honest to God Marxist and I still don't know what cultural Marxism is. What the fuck is dialectical culturalism? Who the fuck is cultures proletariat? I'm not trolling this shit makes zero sense.
>>218666302>The billionares and corporate powers in the US are more powerful and dominant than ever before, and they're smart enough to know how to co-opt this woke bullshit.The billionaires want to keep the poor divided and fighting with each other over pronouns so they don't unite and unionize. If the ants are fighting the grasshoppers win.
>>218666374>I'm not trolling this shit makes zero sense.Sure, I believe that. In the year 2026, a Marxist, one of the most contentious and argumentative subcultures, doesn't understand a main criticism of the current cultural expression of his philosophy. I totally believe that, there's no way this guy is just being a grandstanding faggot, pretending that the negative label applied to his philosophy is disingenuous and doesn't make sense. He just hasn't heard and needs it explained.I'm sure someone will come along and explain it to him, he'll say, "Oh, okay, I hadn't heard or had it explained to me before," and be on his way.There's no way he's sealioning here fellas. Someone explain it to him.
boomers refused to retire and also they pulled up the ladder refusing to hire young white men and chose instead to embrace diversity by hiring political activists, women and people of color so they could win good boy points and back pats.they have forgotten how to make anything original, refuse to take risks, both on original stories, and young actors, which led to no one giving a fuck about hollywood actors anymore and endless slop remakes and expanded universes/capeshit another thing is covid and a bad economy accelerated people to no longer use movie theaters and instead stay home and watch netflixanother thing is its simply too expensive to film things in commifornia now, lots of film productions are now done in the state of Georgia
>>218666410It's interesting that you associate unionisation with socialist upheavel. Sort of an unintentional mask-off moment?I don't know, in my country (not the US) union membership is much higher than the US but at most all it does is make things WAY more expensive (i.e., it's too expensive for any non-government-subsdidised building companies to undertake projects, even basic housing, which is leading to serious backlogs and delays in building as well as mass closures of businesses and lay-offs), as well as causing even more social division because the hardcore union types always start fights with non/neutral union people, especially at worksites.You think these big corporations can't afford what the unions demand? Of course they can. And if push comes to shove and they're somehow coerced into giving in, all that will change is the wages are higher which decreases employment of citizen-workers and increases the reliance on foreigners even more than is currently happening. And you'll never curb that because the same people that support unions also support mass immigration because the left has decided, for some reason, to group these two completely unrelated issues into the same camp.
>>218666484Marx is about class struggle and the history of class struggle. I am not sure how or why you would apply him to culture unless maybe you are saying that the bourgeoisie's culture is the dominant one.
>>218664801>why did America destroy its strongest weaponCorn syrup?
>>218666021>Ne Zha 2Such a fucking forced meme. Sure China lies fucking constantly about everything, but I’m totally going to believe them about that. There’s also the tiny detail that the governement was literally handing out tickets, and counting each attendance as a sale. It’s like taping a garden hose to your dick, and saying that you’ve got the biggest dick in the world.
>>218666538>No trust me bro, I just reeeeeally don't understand.>Pleeeeeeease engage with me>This is totally in good faith
>>218666571I don't even think you know who Hegel is.
>>218666498oh another thing, they no longer market to men, its all for cat ladies and rainbow haired freaks. so like action movies and comedies died off because you cant go offending the affluent white ladies who werent the audience for such movies in the first place.
>>218666571Never even give the time of day to a marxist who pretends to not understand things.
>>218666603Trvth. Honestly, O shouldn't even do him the favor of showing him that people see right through their disingenuous faggotry. They might evolve some new, more insidious technoque of subverting society.
>>218666302It was more about weakening America from within so it could be more easily pushed around>>218666374Disdain for hierarchies on a mass cultural level, meaning disdain for those that are succeeding in the hierarchy. An attempt to level the culture by means of bringing the achievers down to size and redistributing power to the underachievers.
>>218664801What? Trump killed Chuck Norris?
>>218666721No. He killed America...
>>218666682>It was more about weakening America from within so it could be more easily pushed aroundThat's reasonable, but as has happened in recent times, the cultural wokeness went so far that it resulted in a president/regime that did the opposite and has been acting like such hardasses and so beligerant specifically as a response to the cultural wokeness. A theoretical USSR in 2026 would be way more concerned about a Trump than a Biden because authoritarian regimes (especially "eastern" ones) only respect strength and bluster, regardless of the moral correctness of it.Anywah this has gotten too modern-day political so I'll leave it at that.
>>218666374Whats so hard to understand?Look at the retarded example Marx himself gives to explain the dialectic:You have two apples, one green and one red.You picture both of them in your mind and use your marxist superbrain to analyze them and come to the conclusion that HOLY SHIT even though they have different colours they are both still apples omg mind blown.Then you take one of the apples and compare it to an orange and using your amazing marxoid brain you are able to deduce that even though they are kind of different they are both fruits jesus fucking christ thank god a genius like marx was able to figure this out.That's literally all this bullshit scam is but applied to concepts/thoughts/systems etc. instad of fruit.And you keep doing this until you cant do it anymore, until youve arrived at the ultimate category of THING that still applies to THING.Dialectic really is just a buzzword to cover up all the gnostic bullshit, it always boils down to trying to seperate the mundane from the divine somehow in the hopes of finding some ultimate superior answer to everything.Just like the endgoal of gommunism: a society where people just instinctively and spontaneously always do the right thing to advance the species. But you dont have to be a sociology student to explain why this can never work, its the other way around, any child could tell you why this can never work and youd have to take several courses to do mental gymnastics to make it make even a modicum of sense.
>>218666682But the achievers aren't using their own means to achieve and instead are stealing labor from the underachievers. Nobody in the 1% is getting where they are picking themselves up by their bootstraps they are getting their by siphoning surplus value from the proletariat.
>>218666682>>218666888This is what engaging with a disingenuous marxist gets you.>I don't understand>here's an explanation>No, I actually did understand>Now let me reorient the conversation away from criticism so I can push my perspective safely.You marxists are snakes.
>>218664801americans love woke shit and black people >>218666021
>>218666888Yes anon that is the exact cultural marxist rhetoric I was alluding to, that the Soviets and communist friends started feeding into American institutions in the 1950's
>>218666087I read somewhere that it was displayed at a chinese theatre in LA and that it was mostly seen by chink diasporoids, but I'm not sure. I live in Europe and at no point did I see any promotions for the film or people talking about it.>>218666565Yeah, I was expecting something like that. It seems China is very interested in expanding its soft power.
>>218667240>It seems China is very interested in expanding its soft powerThis is just occuring to you now?Are you not aware of the absolute fuckton of large-scale infrastructure projects China has funded in developing nations in the last 10 years? The whole "belt and road" thing?The CCP is smart and knows they would get curb-stomped by the US in a conventional war, so they're playing it smart and being patient and waiting for pure demographics to win out, which they inevitably will.
>>218667315On this token, didn't China just pull out 80% of its investment in Africa?
>>218664801you mean israel's weapon
>>218666538marx was an alcoholic wife beater who never worked

>>218667357I dunno man, I'm Australian. I don't give a fuck about Africa, I'm only concerned about Asia-Pacific.I don't doubt that even the chinks lost patience dealing with ni**ers though.
>>218666498>>218666595This is exactly what happened and senile boomers will go to their graves without admitting it. They traded the legitimacy of the entire industry for the momentary dopamine hit of looking "progressive" to their idiot friends by putting Sheniqua in charge of development. Sure, the movies are complete garbage now and the industry is a flaming dumpster fire, but at least they erased the evil white men!
>>218666484It's a similar tactic to >Heh, woke doesn't even MEAN anything, it's just a right wing buzzword
>>218666374>I am an honest to God Marxistwell that explains why you're retarded
