>Even Oscar winners like Natalie Portman is out here doing luxury train promos like a mid tier influencerYoung people don't watch movies or TV shows in years. All they consume is YouTube, social media slopThe entire industry is running on fumes...It's over, /tv/ sisters
>>220801208I'm pretty good at writing prompts, so it's fine.
>>220801208not really surprising since natalie only got her oscar because they pasted her face onto a professional ballerina
these people will do anything for a buck.
>>220801208MAAAAAYBE trashing marvel and star wars to own the chuds was a bad idea after all?
Movies and TV shows were always kinda overrated anyways.
>>220801386Wow what a steal
>>220801386>cabins from 120 000 GBPHahahaha genuinely kill the rich
>>220801208
>>220801386Do I get to keep the carriage at the end?
>>220801607fuck
>>220801608You get to lick the toilet seat Natalie Portman pissed on
>>220801588>some people have what i don't have? let's destroy civilization
>>220801386I wonder how much it would cost to hire a driver to drive you to Istanbul on an RV while staying in hotels every night
>>220801386>£120k and you end up in TurkeyGrim.
>luxury trainIs it the 19th century? Who the fuck still rides on those
>>220801679Old and autistic people who enjoy steam trains.
>>220801645There's nothing civilised about people having so much money they spend the equivalent of a yearly wage for some people who share the same economic system per night to stay on a train. That's a sign that something is badly wrong.
>>220801386The problem with luxury trains or sleeper trains in general is having to interact with the other passengers. It's an introvert's nightmare.The only way I'd feel comfortable riding one is if the entire train was mine and I was the only passenger. Staffed by robots too.
>>220801722nope, that's actually exactly how "civilization" has always worked, all the way back to bronze age palace civilizations. social stratification IS civilization. it's your dream of bringing everyone down to one level so they're "equal" that's an anti-civilizational commie pipe dream. nothing has ever worked like that.
>>220801813I don't want one level. I just want the levels not to be so vastly far apart.
>>220801849right, except the levels being far apart is "civilization." always has been.
>>220801722>the equivalent of a yearly wage for some people who share the same economic system per night to stay on a trainIt's for 5 nights>>220801726Except for meals you can stay in your cabin the entire time. Kind of stupid but w/e
>>220801208> doing luxury train promos like a mid tier influencerA-anon… do you sincerely believe that endorsements were invented by insta thots?
>>220801386Portman included?
>>220801330This. They wake up in the morning and their manager has booked them 12 hours in some studio doing shots for 40 different brand partnerships in random countries. All she does is change clothes and stand around. Probably has know idea that’s she’s the face of Thailand’s 2nd leading brand of dish soap and some Turkish airline.
>>220801588I’d rather kill the poor desu. Far more of them and they mostly contribute nothing.Imagine how much better traffic would be.
>>220802214Yeah. It's 25,000 dollars per person per night. That's what I'm referring to.
>>220801208>Hollywood is dyingThank god. Please hurry up.
>>220801670>You start in ParisAlso grim
>>220801386Why are they giving away train rides for free?
>>220801208Young people have taste is why, when you stop putting brown women in movies outside of Bollywood we will go see them
>>220801208Answer me some questions Ms Portman
>>220802677>>>/pol/
>>220801208How do all these actors spend so much money? If i had millions like them i couldn't spend it all even if i wanted to.
>>220801645They are destroying civilization, retard. And aoarently they do it so they can play pretend on a train, or on a boat, or even in space.You should kill yourself.
>>220801813Even Sumerian kings and bronze age chieftans where invested in their civilizations. But in modern days the rich are only invested in their own egos.They are incomparable. You should kill yourself.
>>220801813>social stratification IS civilizationit's more anti-civilization and how africans and chimps operate
>>220802997invested how? what are you talking about? modern society is obviously more invested in the well-being of poors than historical empires, that's why it has concepts like welfare. previously if you got too sick to work you would have simply died.
>>220803503no, dummy, social stratification is a technology much like the wheel or writing or fire, which just like the wheel or writing or fire chimps and niggers can't figure out, and that's why they don't build civilizations.
>>220802581but you leave it, that's good
>>22080251825,000 pounds is an average annual wage in bongland??
>>220803735No, it's about what you make on minimum wage
>>220803613Except it isn't. Bronze age god kings were ironically less removed from their subjects than mouthbreathing tech/finance dudes are from the likes of you.
>>220801813you're trying to define civilization as "i don't have to work but you do."
>>220803854that's ridiculous and proven wrong even by the fact that you are able to articulate such a thought. if you were a peasant in a bronze age palace culture you wouldn't even be able to imagine what goes on behind the gates of the palace or the temple, those people would be like gods to you. meanwhile you're here seething about what "mouthbreathing finance dudes" can afford that you can't and fantasizing about murdering them as punishment. clearly the issue is that there is NOT ENOUGH social stratification, too much familiarity between social classes, not enough walls, gatekeeping and distance. if there was more separation between yourself and elon musk you would be able to live your peasant life in blissful ignorance, without getting so butthurt all the time.
>>220801645where do I sign?
>>220804101those leaders were inextricably linked to their people, and would often meet them face-to-face. modern rulers are so disconnected that they literally can't even begin to comprehend how the people they rule think. that's how you get shit like e.g., the french revolution in part starting with a bunch of peasants marching on the royal palace and the king just letting them in to have a chat with them and being able to charm the angry mob into submission (though it still spiraled out of control later anyway). meanwhile, when a similar mob of nowhere near as angry peasants march on the white house they get shot and the "democratically elected" rulers start screeching about how much their lives were in danger.modern rules are way more disconnected from reality, from the people they rule, and from sanity, than most ancient rulers were.though there are obvious exceptions, like the whole cycle of degeneracy that leads to e.g., chinese emperors so isolated from the world around them that they only learn about what's happening outside the palace through esoteric religious euphemisms presented in the form of divine revelations. usually right before they have yet another civil war that kills millions of people.
>>220804092yes, civilization involves dividing society into peasants, warriors, priests, aristocrats etc, all of which have different capacities and responsibilities. some of them perform physical labor, some don't. that literally is the basis of civilization.
>>220801208>Hollywood is dyingGood, should've happened sooner.
>>220801239Correct.
>>220804209>those leaders were inextricably linked to their people, and would often meet them face-to-faceancient rulers routinely both considered themselves and were widely believed by their subjects to be literally gods you dummy. a peasant might, if he's lucky, see the pharaoh or whatever from far away, draped with gold during some religious festival. meanwhile elon musk is just some dork you can go watch arguing with people about video games on social media. i have to repeat this point again: the reason you are so butthurt about the modern elite is precisely because they are too close to you. if you thought elon musk was an incarnated god you'd pray to him, but because you can plainly see he's just another dork it makes you go BUT WHY NOT ME THEN and the resentment drives you insane. that's also why fantasies about the rich being satanic pedophiles are so popular among the plebes: you desperately want the elite to be different, to do crazy rituals, to be lizards from space. that would explain WHY NOT ME and the butthurt would be lessened.
>>220804210anon. just because you've accepted a raw deal doesn't mean anyone else is dumb enough to. you're not trying to convince others the situation is just and good, you're trying to convince yourself.
>>220804421you are exclusively talking about the ancient egyptians. a singular example among ancient civilizations that revered their leaders as godhead. they are the exception, not the rule.
>>220805019i'm just explaining what "civilization" is in an objective sense, "good" or "just" doesn't enter into it. but yeah incidentally i do like the deal, i like how i get to live in safety and comfort and stuff my face and choose between a million diversions. just by being born in the modern first world i am the recipient of an absurd abundance of blessings. i guess if you hate it you can sneak onto sentinel island and live with the niggers.
>>220805222>i'm happy being a slave its comfy
>>220805185>a singular example among ancient civilizationscomplete nonsense.>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_cultif anything the norm is that the ruler is at the very least blessed by the divine if not literally a living god. even in greece with their developments in democracy the old aristocratic families still claimed descent from mythological heroes and therefore the gods of olympus. modernity is characterized by unprecedented CLOSENESS between the rulers and the ruled.
>>220805359>ancient>ancient>ancient>ancientbut no sumerians. oops. seems like the "imperial cult" was invented after civilization.
>>220801645yes?
>>220805421yes, obviously. it's a particular arrangement between social classes, therefore it had to develop after they emerged. why do you think that's some kind of gotcha?
>>220801208She probably lost a lot of money in her divorce
>>220801208>>Even Oscar winnersOscar curse has been a thing for decades now, you know?
>>220801386>mid-tier
>>220801386I went on two trips like this. One of the trans siberian railroad and one through Africa. I was there as a soundman to cover the trip, my cousin was the cameraman. I got drunk as shit every night, partied with all these Russian boomers. Same price range. These boomers loved us because we were young, so we made them feel young for a bit. In the end, through Africa, all these kids would gather around the stops, so we thought we'd buy a big bag of candy and then just throw this to them from the train. This led to massive riots, the African security begged us to stop because they said people would end up dead. We also nearly got abducted but then my uncle threw his passport out of the window of the car, and suddenly they got scared and they stopped and let us out. This was when we had to film a day trip at some safari park.
>>220805248modern firstworlders are not slaves, if anything we are too free, too well off, and so we go a little retarded from abundance and start larping, like you do, that we're oppressed, enslaved, victimized and so on. it's a tranny mindset.
>>220805421also, just for the record, yes the sumerians also did this.
>>220805511>massive class separation is what civilization is>oh but it was invented after civilization then its not an intrinsic quality of civilization.
>>220805621>brings up trannies out of nowhereif anything, it would be a "tranny mindset" to try to argue with objective fact.

>>220805519>>220805570This thread hasn't been about Natalie Portman for a while
>>220801645Korrekt.
>>220805713the objective fact is that you are not a slave, but you "identify" as one because it brings you some kind of psychological benefit to think of yourself as a victim of great injustice. it's the same psychology as trannyism.
>>220805185nta, but acksully tons of ancient civilizations revered their leaders as devine. Right up until the French Revolution, if you really want to get into it.
>>220805774i'm outside the hamster wheel, you aren't.
most civilizations praised meritocracy, it's partially why it was all about lineage anyway. without access to things like statistics or study, all they knew was "this guy is a great leader, charismatic, wise, and attractive. so all the people descended from him must be"
>>220805691class separation is intrinsic to civilization, and as the civilization develops it invents particular arrangements between the classes such as worshipping rulers as divine. there's no contradiction here. obviously i don't think rulers being specifically divine is necessary for civilization as such, it's just where a lot of ancient civilizations went.
>>220805789you're in the tranny wheel
>>220805824>Meritocracy, lineageAre you fucking retarded lmao? That's why Napoleon destroyed feudalism.
>>220805728All /tv/ threads are about Natalie Hershlag, dumbo
>>220805860esl moment. lineage was mistaken for merit, was his point.
>>220805789like what, a neet? that doesn't really change my assessment much.
>>220801386I think the price is a feature on these things. Its like the hobbyists that are obsessed with trains need something to exist that is nearly impossible for most people to afford. If you buy this there are so many people that will never afford to do it that it ensures you will always have that trump card on other train enthusiasts in conversations. or on Train Twitter or some shit.
>>220805991yeah it's like fancy restaurants sprinkling food with gold dust or whatever. you're not paying because you want to eat it, you're paying to be set apart from the people who can't afford it. you're buying pure status.
>>220801645yes. why not give away the money instead of spending it on such extravagence? it would never occur to them that they could do such good.
>>220805991>>220806089>>220806115see >>220802997
>>220806115you'd just squander it silly! its why you're poor and they're not after all
>>220802997this is why ive become an economic populist extremisttax and rape the wealthy into submissionfew to no taxes on actual salaries/wages, but ultra taxes on capital and wealth
>>220802939>Traveling by train is destroying civilization It's absolutely insane how leftoids will mock you for saying "the West is falling" when Whites are pushed out from being the central focus of Western culture to make room for "marginalized" foreigners, then have an absolute meltdown claiming civilization is being destroyed because some rich guy got scammed into overpaying for a train ride.
>>220805991 Why not go with "like people that drive Ferraris and wear top tier designer outfits that cost at least $350"?Why throw shade on train clubs out of nowhere? Those dudes are all dorks. My dad is an engineer so his Trump is that he can engineer their layouts better than anyone in the club. He focuses on the electronics and creating them a website. He's an officer, but only rich person stuff I've heard of was: One of them wanted to use train club property to store his boat. My Dad isn't rich, had four kids, just lived a pretty solid middle class life other than the house, which is in an upper middle class suburb but a modest one in that area. Cars, furniture, all modestWhy is he so into trains? His dad was a career car mechanic (engines) who took him to the Indy500 (only sport my dad loves is car racing). And trains have the biggest and baddest engines of them all. My Dad majored in Mechanical Engineering
>>220806115>why not give away the money instead of spending it on such extravagence?they are. that's what paying for such luxuries is, a wealth transfer. if you were, for example, a talented chef, you could get paid big bucks cooking for the rich.>b-but i'm not good at cooking, or anything elsethen why should anybody give you money? it's better that it goes to someone talented and enterprising. giving money to the actual poors is a complete waste, they're just going to drink it or put it in their veins. they're poor for a reason.
>>220806166>few to no taxes on actual salaries/wages, but ultra taxes on capital and wealththat's cool, i won't have to pay any taxes on my salary, except my salary will be zero because you've just taxed all businesses that could hire me out of existence.
>>220806363get lost retard, if the business is needed it'll exist
Hollywood cannot die fast enough. There's still a few holdouts trying to do big movies, but pretty soon only the infinite money corporations will be able to put out films, then Hollywood will make a doomed, disastrous pivot to producing online content like tiktoks and the end will follow after that within a year.
>>220801386I think spending money on "rich stuff" is retarded but this one takes the cake and it's not even close.
>>220801208Top 10% earners drive ~50% of consumer spending. Thanks to inflation from printing money to spend more than GDP and on debt/interests.

>>220801208>Young people don't watch movies or TV shows in years. All they consume is YouTube, social media slop>The entire industry is running on fumes...It's over, /tv/ sistersDon't be disingenuous... They turn to YT because there is literally nothing worth watching in the theaters these days, and not even that is a big loss, because that's to the COVID era, people realize it's better to stay at home with a cheap shit home entertainment centre they got from Costco, and just make their own popcorn.I mean, I heard "Project Hail Mary" was a good movie. But that's just one movie to go out of your way for.... how come there isn't 5 or 10 of these kind of movies to keep feeding the industry?...oh right, because of the bitches, faggots and niggers that have to inject their social issues into every piece of media these days. Always compromising the story that someone else is trying to convey.IMO, if Harvey was a free man, Hollywood would still be thriving.
