The revenge of the managerial elites

This grotesquely obvious Tweet from Bloomberg News:

 

An income of $300,000 is in the top 98.9%.

So pretty much, everyone who is not in the top 1% is getting fucked.

The political elite in this country, people worth millions of dollars despite years and decades on government salaries, are insulated from the negative effects of their policies by their money while the rest of us suffer.

I keep saying what is being done is not incompetence.

It’s malicious.

It is the elite grinding us into the ground, reminding us of our place under their boot heel.

We were supposed to elect Hillary Clinton.

We were supposed to let them grift their way into more wealth.

But we didn’t elect Hillary.

We elected Trump, and for four years we prospered.

They wrestled back the reins of power under despicable circumstances and now will make us pay for our insolence.

We are entering a world of neo-feudalism.

Either you are a member of the top 1% as a member of the well-connected managerial elite, or you will be ground into economic hardship until you learn to live in a pod, eat bugs, and take public transportation to your soulless job as a drone in a mega-corporation.

 

 

Because guns are inconvenient when Governments want to control the populace.

Still reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Right now, an interesting chapter about the plans that the Nazis had for England if they would have attempted and succeeded in achieve Operation Sea Lion: The invasion of Great Britain.

 

Basically, a mandatory buy back where your “prize” was to keep your life under the misery of the Nazi regime… maybe.

And the sad part is that the Brit people were pretty much unarmed and had to beg the US for guns for the civilians.

On seeing myself represented in movies and on TV

As I prepared my last post and read articles on why people are justifying gay romance on kids movies, one theme, and more specifically one word, keeps coming up: representation.

I’ve seen this a lot.  Whenever a movie with an obviously engineered “cast of diverse characters” comes out, or an existing franchise has established characters replaced with diverse characters, you see the word representation used.

I’ve read countless OpEds why it’s so important that the next James Bond, Superman, The Doctor, or whomever is a black transgender non-binary disabled lesbian, just so the writer can feel representation in the movies.

I have to say, I have only once, sort of, seen myself represented in a movie or on TV.

But J.Kb, how can you say that?  There are lots of white and Jewish male characters on TV.

Easy, none of them represented me, except make one.  And he wasn’t played by a Jewish actor.

I hate just about every Jewish character I’ve ever seen.

To the man they are weak, sickly, nerdy, awkward, Jewey characters.

They are every stereotype of the pushover Jewish guy who lives with his mom, or surrogate mom wife, is a boneless as a gifilte fish, and is so sickly he’s taken out by a glass of milk.

If you watch movies, every Jewish man is a five-foot five-inch, hen-picked accountant from NYC with an inhaler.

That’s not me not do I want it to be.

There are many Jewish actors in Hollywood who don’t fit this stereotype.

James Caan

Harvey Kitel

Oded Fehr

Mandy Patinkin

Ron Perlman

But they never play Jewish characters.

(Singlular exception being Kitel very recently playing Meyer Lansky.)

The only Jewish character I ever identified with was Walter Sobchak.

A fat, bearded Jewish guy with anger issues, a penchant for carry vest and cargo shorts, who drives a full size van, and packs a 1911.

That’s pretty much me.

And he was played by the not Jewish John Goodman.

So maybe I’ll start to care more about representation when ever representation of what is supposed to be me isn’t a grotesque and offensive caricature.

 

The LGBT groomer minority has taken over Disney

I’m getting pretty sure that QAnon will turn out to be the most factually accurate reporting on the planet.

It is shocking, absolutely shocking, how a small minority of people managed to get themselves into positions where they then force grooming and sexual degeneracy into children, despite the overwhelming will of parents.

Workers at animation studio Pixar claim that Disney execs have demanded they cut ‘nearly every moment of overtly gay affection’: CEO Bob Chapek is under fire for not opposing so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill

Pixar employees have accused their parent company Disney of cutting gay characters from their films, in the latest salvo fired by staff amid a row about the entertainment giant’s stance on gay rights.

Disney CEO Bob Chapek, who only took over in January, has been criticized for not condemning a Florida bill passed on Tuesday limiting LGBTQ discussion in schools.

In a memo to staff on Monday, Chapek tried to quell the anger, writing: ‘I want to be crystal clear: I and the entire leadership team unequivocally stand in support of our LGBTQ+ employees, their families, and their communities. And, we are committed to creating a more inclusive company – and world.’

Yet on Thursday, Pixar staff questioned the company’s claims in a letter obtained by Variety.

‘We at Pixar have personally witnessed beautiful stories, full of diverse characters, come back from Disney corporate reviews shaved down to crumbs of what they once were,’ the letter states.

‘Even if creating LGBTQIA+ content was the answer to fixing the discriminatory legislation in the world, we are being barred from creating it.’

The letter claims that ‘nearly every moment of overtly gay affection’ had been cut, despite ‘protest from both the creative teams and executive leadership.’

Why are Pixar employees trying to force gay relationships into kids’ movies?

Are they planning a another Cars movie full of Jettas, Miatas, and Subarus?

Good for Disney for remembering that they are a family movie company and stopping that…

Oh never mind.

Same-Sex Kiss Restored in Pixar’s ‘Lightyear’ Following Staff Uproar Over ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Bill (EXCLUSIVE)

On March 9, LGBTQ employees and allies at Pixar Animation Studios sent a joint statement to Walt Disney Company leadership claiming that Disney executives had actively censored “overtly gay affection” in its feature films. The stunning allegation — made as part of a larger protest over the company’s lack of public response to Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill — did not include which Pixar films had weathered the censorship, nor which specific creative decisions were cut or altered.

But in at least one case, the statement appears to have made a significant difference.

According to a source close to the production, Pixar’s next feature film, “Lightyear” — starring Chris Evans as the putative real-life inspiration for the “Toy Story” character Buzz Lightyear — does feature a significant female character, Hawthorne (voiced by Uzo Aduba), who is in a meaningful relationship with another woman. While the fact of that relationship was never in question at the studio, a kiss between the characters had been cut from the film. Following the uproar surrounding the Pixar employees’ statement and Disney CEO Bob Chapek’s handling of the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, however, the kiss was reinstated into the movie last week.

The LGBT groomer demographic at Disney go butthurt (metaphorically) and Disney folded rather than have the internet hate mob go after them.

You know, absolutely know for an absolute fact, that the lesbian kiss WILL NOT be left in the Chinese cut of that movie.

So we have a company that was built on family friendly children’s entertainment and now it contains a contingent of activist employees who have the goal of injecting their groomer sexual proclivities into that entertainment, and a multi billion dollar corporation bows to them.

And parents, by and large, don’t want this.

So tell me again how the idea that major sectors of government and business are not run by a small pedophile oligarchy that exists to groom children.

I can’t wait to hear it.

On this Ukraine conflict thing.

I am not taking sides. I am taking notes.

Russia is still Soviet.

Ukraine is still corrupt.

Both are utilizing propaganda in social media, which is a nice way to say they are lying their asses off in Twitter/Instagram/TikTok/et all.

Innocent people always get caught in the middle of two sets of assholes and pay with their lives.

And we are being fucked at home because the current administration probably collects from both sides of the conflict and both sides are probably demanding a return for their investment.

Not one single American life should be sacrificed by being sent there to fight for something of zero interest to us. Let the rest of the NATO moochers to put their nuts in the block.
