Like academia, Hollywood has transformed from a venue for creative freedom to a dreary instrument of Communist indoctrination and social engineering.
So don’t expect any sympathy for strikers or producers. We’re happy to see Hollywood self-immolate and dance around the pyre.

“Hello, kind sir. Could you please spare $100 for the poor striking actors?”
So, are you crying tears of sadness over the joint Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA strike?
Fran Drescher, president of the 160,000-member Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), says performers are “victims” after their demands for higher wages and protection from AI were rejected and they voted to strike.
The Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers had offered guild performers the highest percentage pay increase in 35 years, but nope, the actors turned it down. They now join members of the Writers Guild, who have been on strike since May 2, essentially shutting down the entire movie and television industry.
If you live in Los Angeles, like I do, you can see these clowns, parading up and down the street with their picket signs. Hanoi Jane even showed up at one demonstration, looking a hundred years old, and doing her best Norma Rae impersonation. I say all this as a former SAG member myself.
Martin comments: Was a time when Hollywood churned out popular movies that warned about future dystopias. Logans Run, The Matrix, The Terminator, a Clockwork Orange, Robocop…and now we are living out some of these dystopias while others are on the doorstep. And what is Hollywood doing about it? doing a total U-turn and actively promoting the agenda.
And they wonder why Sound Of Freedom blew away Indiana Jones And The Wokester of Wokeness at the box office on opening day?
If these actors want pay, then the industry they work for needs to wake up from wokeness and get back to making movies people actually want to watch.
Lord Vader would agree.
