Earlier today Sasha Stone and I discussed the woke choker that progressives have managed to wrap around the Hollywood industry’s neck, at least as far as hiring and standards and award season values are concerned. Various forms of progressive purity are being insisted upon by the comintern, and if you don’t get in line the whip will come out and perhaps even the stick.
The industry is basically experiencing a shift from the idea of equality of opportunity (i.e., the classic liberal code) to a new social code that requires equality of outcome (wokesterism).
3:04 mark: “Basically what’s going on in the progressive left is a conviction that people of color, for a couple of hundred years or 155 years if you start back in 1865, have had a horrific experience in many ways and [have] certainly led suffocating lives in terms of opportunity and basic fairness….we all know the story of racism in this country. or at least we have some idea of it…and the current idea is that things now have to switch around…in some ways the short end of the stick is going to people of European descent because they have had the upper hand for so long, and it’s time for them to eat shit basically.
“When you think about the symmetry or the balance of this, it’s not a ridiculous idea. But of course, people don’t like eating shit, no matter what the reason is. So naturally there are people who feels it’s gone too much in that direction (i.e., righties). But right now, that’s the way it is.”
