why dont you cry about it?

these people think if the country is majority white then its white supremacy

just got to shoe horn that shit in everywhere don't they.

wow, what a unique angle and topic that hasn't been beaten to death the last 3 years

I wish Lindelof confronted the lack of creativity in the industry, but we all know how his show is gonna turn out.

>Remember when films were for enjoyment?
only election tourists won't be able to enjoy that

Jews don't create. They take white creations and recycle, or build them in their own image.

Its not about making money any more, it's about pushing an ideology they hope will be fostered and grow the more it's seen. Similar tactics of "the good of the people/state before profet" can be seen in places like modern China, Soviet Russia, and nazi Germany where as long as you where saying the right pre approved things, that was all that mattered because it was for the greater good. Same thing has been happening here with us media, the only difference is that there's no overarching state mandate for it.

Watchmen was never about enjoyment in the way you are implying. It was never trying to make a singular statement either, at the same time. It was about clashing ideologies. About the fear that we will one day destroy ourselves. But that we never will, because we have the capacity to love and care for each other in spite of all the hatred and fighting.

Alan Moore is a feminist anarcho-collectivist hippie type. A leftist, anti-racist film is true to his vision.

So brave, we don't have enough of that in media. White people must be exterminated

>Rorschach goes on a killing spree through a ghetto
>”13 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION DOES 50 PERCENT OF THE CRIME.”
It could be kino.

The thing with Moore is that he wasn't afraid to create characters with beliefs he legitimately hated, while also making these characters understandable/realistic and sympathetic. Rorschach is a perfect example of this.

And then everybody loved Rorschach. Good job Alan!

>it's about pushing an ideology they hope will be fostered and grow the more it's seen
Thankfully, it’s backfiring with the younger generation who are growing up in an age where all this political agenda pushing is being actively mocked by every one of their rent-a-friend youtubers. As soon as all these mid-40s children-less hacks die off or have to retire in poverty, they won’t have a legacy to continue the cause. Even if they somehow procreate, a child’s natural tendency to rebel against authority means they aren’t going to put up with this bullshit.

You are wrong. It is entirely about making money.

The issue here is viewership is down across the board for literally every medium. Primarily because people have so many options on what they view. Whenever viewership has happened in the past, entertainment venues attempted to capture the attention of new/young audiences. If you go on twitter, what are most young people tweeting about? Politics. The young writers hired straight out of college will say the same thing. The young people working for data analytics firms will say the same thing. Thus, disconnected old men think the way to attract young viewers is politics.

Thus, entertainment is in a deathdive until they figure out how to deal with the fact the internet exists and will provide sufficient information to validate literally any belief, no matter how inane.

>everybody
you mean moviefags. since snyder loved rorshack he made him as badass as possible while cutting all the bits about how dirty and shitty he is.

It's all so tiresome. This is why I don't watch tv anymore.

Ah yes they care about 'politics', wait how many of the top 10 grossing films this year disney trash again?

shut the fuck up and watch an MCU movie if you're too scared to have political themes in your media smoothbrain

everything's political you fucking moron, that's how it is, has been, and will be

you may as well be asking for your shows to be devoid of any intellectual content whatsoever

The whole point of Watchman was that nothing got confonted, it was a shitty world full of shitty people.

lol i wonder who he spoke with to become like this

Yeah imagine social commentary in Watchmen of all things. That comic book that definitely did not do social commentary 30 years ago and would definitely not be remembered for it if it did.

>Remember when
I wasn't alive during the penny arcade movie era.

Films have always had some political or moral element to them like all art does. It's just that this late capitalist, neoliberal nightmare is gay as fuck.

Hi damon.

The social commentary of watchmen was about man-made apocalypse. Identity politics are childish bullshit.

>Lindelof

How does the guy who wrote that make a living as a writer.
*cringes with a glint of mischief in his eye*

Who gives a flying fuck what twitter thinks. Normies dont even pay attention to Twitter, twitter is for a minority of pretentious faggots.

There's a difference in quality between putting a message or moral lesson into a movie and gutting it all to stuff it with blatant propaganda.

Yeah, that's not true and the some people being incapable of empathy and anything outside of vague sympathy is not an argument against nuance.
Stopping the comic to explain in no uncertain terms how everyone but people who agree with you 100% are on the wrong side of history can do nothing but incite hate.

>Who gives a flying fuck what twitter thinks
The disconnected old men in charge of everything, desperate to engage young audiences.

There's actually a big philosophical question about whether propaganda is art. I would say no.

Propaganda is the death of art and creative freedom.

You only think that's a question because you don't know what "art" or "propaganda" is. Also "philosophy." Possibly even "question."

Only retards that got bullied in school love him

Art doesn’t have to have any message, moral or political, you are cucked by modern bullshit.

I'm black and also find this to be trash. They are trying to inject this horsehit everywhere, they aren't offering any new insights or subtle approaches. It's the same shit as the anti-Trump jokes day and night for the past two years, not only painfully unfunny after the first barrage but it ruined the state of comedy for the foreseeable future.

The propaganda and art question has been a thing in aesthetic philosophy ever since the Aneied. I may not be a philosophy grad student, but at least I know some aesthetic philosophy 101 unlike your illiterate ass.
How far back do we have to go to remove politics and morals from art? I'm curious.

We're not 'scared' of political themes, you cockless wonder, we're sick of one-sided themes being rammed down our throats while you use the tech companies to censor us.

It's not about removing them compltely from art. It's about getting sick and tired of people from one tiny, very narrow-minded part of the country dictate what political themes are allowed (hint: it's only the ones they agree with).

You don't enjoy art, white supremacist user?

I'm sure he's more nuanced than that. He was mad that V For Vendetta had too many bush hating politics in it.

Considering that V is played unironically heroic despite it being made clear he’s just the polar opposite of Norsefire, Moore was probably mad they distilled his story down to white and black morality.

>white supremacy
Anyone living in the West who uses this phrase as a negative needs to fuck right off out of here. Africa and Asia are vast, pick one and make a new home far away from white culture.

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

what you're talking about is contemporary minds looking back at classic/ancient works and inserting their politics or what they think might've been classic/ancient politics into non-political works.

That's kind of childish of you user.

Also it wasn't always the same political message, now it is.

They are just too cowardly to acknowledge it
Even when they do terrorists in movies they are always Russian, or ira or some other group that is definitely not the religion of peace

This. These idiots in hollywood start off going "lets have 2 blacks and 3 gays walk into a bar" before they even have an idea for a plot.

You are a bonafide retard if you think art hasn't been political for the past couple thousand years. It's just political now because you've chosen to believe in some shitty fragile ideology designed to appeal to NEETs, and that ideology has trained your pavlovian dipshit brain to say NO HUR BAD NO FIT MY WORLDVIEW

Which movies criticize Christianity and all Christians as the violent savage war religion it is?

No. It has been and always will be about power and control. Money is only a means to this end and it’s not the only path available.

There is a concerted effort by the elite to beat human consciousness into pure submission, to completely domesticate us. Right now there is considerable focus on whites, and western countries because they are r strong and free. That’s why I scoff when people make it an anti-white deal, they aren’t going to stop with whites. The end goal is complete control.

Hello glownigger, kill your family

Pathetic.

Muslims aren't the bad guys in Four Lions. Been a while since i've seen it, but if I remember the white guy is the worst one, one of them is too dumb and innocent too understand what he's doing, and the other one changes his mind and tries to save people. The rest are shown as victims of blundering white cops.

>power and control
read: money

"going after the youth" is always a good excuse to bin socially conservative things that make money in favor of progressive things that don't, going back to The Rural Purge on CBS in the 1970s.

But the reason that the kids are progressive is because they're consuming progressive media, not the other way around, and these sort of things haven't actually been proven to work in the long term as claimed. And we all know that companies do not actually do long-term thinking, really.

In the end, you come back to the fact that it's an excuse to push their politics on an unwilling population that doesn't have the energy or coordination to push back. And it works, every time.

No. You NIGGER.

Politics is an easy thing to generate buzz about a product -- and, in the majority of cases, it's a mediocre product that couldn't survive on the quality of the plot alone, so it has to drum up some controversy.

>companies do not actually do long-term thinking, really.
so what you're saying is that you want a conservative society...but economically left-wing...hmmmmmmmmmmmm

>you're too cowardly to even speak your mind in public.
This is such dishonest criticism. Being publicly racist means losing your job, and friends and family distancing themselves from you, not to mention possible scrutiny from the FBI. It can easily ruin your life.

Saying "if you don't make yourself completely vulnerable to malicious actors, giving them to opportunity to ruin your life, then you're a coward" is a pretty rotten standard, and anyone trying to be honest or fair about it would realize that.

Yes, and? That's literally what I'd like. The rich and powerful held accountable by the people, the environment cared for, and nice, smaller-scale, fairly homogeneous communities with high levels of social capital and therefore public participation.

Actually redpilled as fuck post

you are a nazi and all of those things could be achieved without a conservative society.

anyone who actually believed in progressive economics would consider them more important than supporting racist neocons. People who claim to have views like yours will vote for the most corrupt capitalist every time as long as he panders to right wing culture.

>you are a nazi

>all of those things could be achieved without a conservative society
If progressive economics resulted in a socially conservative society than progressive wouldn't support them.

>anyone who actually believed in progressive economics would consider them more important than supporting racist neocons.
Policies pushed by politicians are always meme-tier and not particularly effective. Obamacare's rollout for instance, did not have any serious effect on health outcomes (and indeed, healthcare consumption generally doesn't) but did correlate with an increase in deaths by opiates.

Or for a more progressive candidate, Sanders' wall street transaction tax was already attempted in the 90s in Sweden, and actually lost the government money - the decrease in revenue from capital gains tax was larger than the amount brought in. This is supposed to help pay for free college. What's worse, just giving everyone free college shows that you don't understand how our education system works and what's wrong with it in the first place, and therefore won't fix it. College is about signaling intelligence and conformity, and giving everyone a degree will make the signal useless, and mean that we need to get masters or Phds to distinguish ourselves again. The correct solution is to realize that we don't need to waste tons of time and money to send these signals, we could simply use IQ tests to demonstrate intelligence, and we should, given that it's the single best predictor of worker productivity. When you have a bunch of hoops to jump through, you just make the system easier to game, and that's always to the advantage of people with money.

In any event, I've never voted for a neocon, nor did I vote for Trump this last election, I wrote in Jim Webb.
