and they're consistent with wanting a peasant population that has kids who join the army and do actual work
if the chattering in X is anything to go by regarding the recruiting ads displayed on TV, it looks like your sentiment only applies in times of war or near the beginning of them. In which case it would be assisted suicide by enemy action at best.
And it makes sense, why would they need red tribers any other time when they have illegals willing to do the job for much less.

Hollywood is very woke. They like to make woke movies. They also like to make money. I submit they like to make money more than they like being woke (at least the really important people, the people who make money decisions, do).
If that were true there wouldn't have been a rural purge of television programs in the 70's. In view of this, I don't think you can or know how to model the mindset of the "really important people, the people who make money decisions" and I posit that it's in your best interest to update your priors to the more reasonable takes expressed in the thread.

it's principal agent problem all the way to the top. The mistake often done in these kinds of discussions is assuming that the news reporter or the editor and journalist in the news room cares about the bottom line of the corporation. The only ones that do are the CEO and the bean counters in the finance room; everyone else cares about other things (ideology) as it isn't their job to make sure their business is profitable enough to make payroll.

but then I don't really pay much attention to her. I fully admit I am voting for generic Democrat and against Trump, not out of any like for her as a candidate.
would you say that "vote blue no matter who" is applicable to you?

I completely reworked my model of what people get out of “wage slavery” and realized that many, many people will trade 20%+ of their earning potential for stability and security.
were these people alone or with families?, I would assume family men would be reticent to trade stability for a few more bucks.

I think you overestimate how easy it is to rebut, and how many people will seek out or see that rebuttal at all in the first place or believe it if they see it.
yeah, sometimes I overestimate the average voter.

well yeah, Haiti is known for voodoo and zombies, so a company owned by a Haitian being voodoo related and tangentially named after a toys store sort of fits into the joke. I thought the joke was pretty obvious :(

Do you have any evidence of Trump endorsing 2025?.
As for the fine people, we have the recording of his remarks about it so I don't know what you are talking about.
that would be part of a deliberate strategy, not a mistake.
the strategy of giving your opponent easy rebuttals I suppose, but at that point your judgement on what constitutes a mistake and what is a Strategy is useless for normal conversation.

one is Conspiracy Theory made by the left and the other is a proven lie that she parroted in the first what? 10-20 minutes of the debate where the ratings are the highest. Doesn't that sound like a mistake to you?

they just need bodies buying and consuming shit to boost GDP, I'm doubtful they care about anything else while living inside their gated communities.

I don’t recall anything that could be considered a mistake from her.
she laughably refers several times to project 2025 in connection to Trump and repeats the debunked "fine people on both sides" story.

Japan is being hard carried by video games anyway, if we limit ourselves to just television https://www.imdb.com/chart/toptv/?ref_=nv_tvv_250&sort=num_votes%2Cdesc it's almost 90% american/british made stuff.
Doubtful a list with GOT in 1st place is of much use for anything. yeah, yeah the first few seasons are decent but if I'm reading the entries right, it comprises all the seasons, including the last one.
Another point against using that list as a comparison point between western series and anime in general is that the premier ranking list of the anime medium is MyAnimeList.net, doubtful you will find representative scores in imdb for anime outside of the overly mainstream series as Attack on Titan.

but that election is between the two major parties, not a selection of VP candidates.

One could argue that the Dems had a say in picking their candidate - in 2020, when they accepted Harris as the person who would take the reins if the President became killed or incapacitated.
huh? there was a primary for the VP slot that I didn't know about?

So, I'm going to assume your answer to my question is a "yes, in my worldview going braless to work is an aspect of trying to look presentable."

But you didn't dress to be "scary" to her! Probably you didn't think of her reaction at all. You just wanted to look presentable within the normal idiom that gendered fashion currently provides for you.
In your worldview going braless to work is an aspect of trying to look presentable?

I fail to see any meaningful clarification in your post. All I got away from it was the dynamic who/whom laundered through a context/harm relabeling.
"It's not that he was bad, but that there was more harm/the context is different in this occasion".
As I understood it, the whole point of acting principled/having principles was that it didn't matter the who/whom of the equation, just that the situation "activated" the relevant principle, guarantying a level of impartiality and bias avoidance which conferred a certain moral high ground.
Do better, Mottizens.

Ivanka and Kushner were his advisors, Kushner his middle east envoy
Are those real positions or are they more charges like Kamala' border Czar?
and outside the presidency his sons took over his businesses.
Isn't that what they are supposed to do?

curious, in my neck of the woods they already rolled the server side ads and while uBlock fails to block 1 in 20 ads, a simple refresh of the page gets me to the video immediately.
mhh, someone is angy now (sorry if it's babying you, but you are better than whatever pissy personality you are adopting here). The rural purge was due to ideology and almost everyone raking you over the coals is saying it: the sequel is due to ideology with varying degrees of conspiracy mixed in; you are one of the few ones here aserting that it is due to money with nothing to show for it. At least on this side of the argument we have a really prominent historic example.
I subscribe to the principal agent problem myself, thank you very much. And it perfectly explains everything it is happening right now with respect to wokeness, you will notice that private companies like valve suffer much less than public companies like Ubisoft or Blizzard.
