    Can maybe one of the wokes explain to me exactly how she is one of the most decisive stars in a generation ~ I saw of the romantic comedy at the movies not exactly Godzilla minus one as far as quality but I don’t understand the “hate her cuz they anus” opine
    …so she’s hot and doesn’t look like a typical California traffic protestor? Is that enough for the side eye treatment ?

    One of Hollywood's top producers, Carol Baum, whose films include Father of the Bride and Buffy the Vampire Slayer this week slammed the star saying she 'isn't pretty and can't act'.:confused:

    The idea of "theft justified as grievance" is what the CCP has taken to the bank ever since the world expected them to put on big boy pants and do responsible things.

    The Marxist Playbook got shredded up and opportunists have been riffing off its cliff notes ever since.

    They don't want to upend capitalism. They love the trappings of it and will do whatever it takes to get on top.

    I guess for psychopaths "libertarian" capitalists, more power to these new Gordon Geckos in vegan sheep's clothing, but here's hoping for decent normal people to stop being swayed by these hucksters.

    This is a really nice video that highlights how reactionary takes purposely distort the message of the original content to generate a narrative.

    Woke Astronauts would identify themselves as Martians because Earth is corrupt with oil and heterosexuals and non fat people and Jewish people
    so they believe they don't need oxygen

    These kind of hucksters attract attention among the tiktok crowd because that age demographic is comparatively screwed vs Boomers, X and millennials.

    Lower chance to buy a house or apartment. Higher chance to become a permanent renter. Higher chance to be saddled with giant debt payments leading into their 30s.

    Ala carte Marxists are carving up that demo like BBQ chicken as Grievance Culture serves as an outlet for their generational powerlessness.

    I agree with Thomas Sowell's response to this. You don't get stars worth a damn if you were mistreated/discriminated in the past and you believe that barrier to be some structural or hierarchical reality/oppression. You can fight injustice, but you can't fight how you perceive yourself by playing the lessor role as victim.

    Most successful people were driven by their traumas to prove their doubters wrong, but the current messaging is that if you're a victim or "your people" were past victims, embrace it and demand recompense from a corrupt and unjust system (through marxist redistribution or "by any means necessary").

    The end game to that mindset is cancerous. We'll literally tear ourselves apart while inherently knowing that power corrupts.

    It would be a vicious cycle of blind (opportunists) leading the blind.
