The movie is going to be released directly to The Daily Wire streaming service, says so on the trailer, so I don't know if normal people will ever watch this movie. The cast being all mainstream actors is what surprises me.
All of The Daily Wire movies are about conservative fantasies, so I think you are correct that it will be written that way.
I can't prove it but I know that JD Vance has something to do with this.
I love this comment because you wrote so much and said so little. Your comment proves me to be correct. You have a bunch of tiktoks that say that societal problems such as sexism, racism, etc are caused by moral failure. I pointed out that societal problems are caused by systemic structures.
You could read your entire comment on your local news stations and then go on to run as a Republican, or Democrat. This is because your comment is not a real critique of society, but empty populism.
Americans love performing the role of oppressed peasants while politicians and society placate them, creating a self-perpetuating club of privileged, enabled people who make excuses for one another, validate each other’s entitlement and then treat people experiencing genuine, devastating hardship with condescension and indifference; meanwhile, people like me are expected to endlessly extend them empathy, understanding and grace that they refuse to extend to us, even gaslighting us by insisting we're more privileged than they are, because apparently facing extreme adversity with dignity, strength and personal accountability while having far less than they do somehow convinces them we're doing better than they are, rather than exposing how deeply they've confused privilege with victimhood.
Re-read this quotation in the voice of JD Vance, Marco Rubio, or Stephen Miller. I know you like to do accents, try it out. The quote would still function in exactly the same way, empty populism. Honestly, it sounds like Ben Shapiro. Try Ronald Reagan's voice, who popularized the "welfare queen" narrative. The reason why this works is because the whole paragraph means nothing. It's a fictional story.
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’
39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.
40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.
Mathew 5:38
I'm not a Christian. I don't follow the bible. I'm using this quote as an example of how "character" is entirely subjective and therefore not a good way to critique society. Some people would say that it is bad character to be petty about how much soda was drank after you offered to share your soda. This bible passage would suggest that if someone drinks your soda, you should offer them more soda. Character is subjective.
Every person believes that they have good character and other people have bad character. Trump believes that he has good character. No person goes around and says "I have bad character and I like to do bad things". If your worldview is "I'm against people who have bad character", then you stand for nothing. That means nothing. "I'm against narcissism" means nothing. It's like people who say "my politics are common sense", it means nothing.
You don't know what is going in other people's minds. You don't know who is a narcissist. Narcissism is immeasurable and immaterial.
My situation is an anomaly, not a universal representation of American life. America is an extraordinarily privileged country by global standards
Your situation is not an anomaly. You exist in a society and you are a product of the society that you exist within. Marx had a concept called 'reserve army of labor', which is how he explained unemployment and underemployment in a capitalist society. The concept is that unemployed people exist as a threat for the capitalist to impose on employed people. The capitalist threaten the worker "If you don't work for less pay, then I'll fire you and you'll end up among the homeless."
US is not just privileged, but imperialist. The reason that the US has more than other countries is because the US takes advantage other countries, something that the Democrat Party has historically enabled. The imperialism created the privilege, the privilege did not create the imperialism. US is an imperialist country but also has exploited underclasses withing it.
Your thinking is all backwards. As I said in my past comment, "The selfishness is the product of the action, not the enabler of the action." Selfishness exists because of capitalism, not capitalism exists because of selfishness.
I like that you have tiktoks that say you are against sexism and toxic masculinity and all that stuff. The anti-drug video was ignorant, drugs are just medication and if you're angry that people self-medicate in a country without access to healthcare, that's just ignorant. It's like you're taking a math test and you somehow arrived at like 80% correct answers but the mathwork that you did to arrive at the answers is all wrong, so the teacher says "see me after class", because it seems like you just copied from someone else instead of arriving at the answers yourself.
Bryan Cranston's instagram post also has suicide hotline at the end.
I’m in deep despair as I write this tonight. RJ Mitte, my sweet son on Breaking Bad has died.
I met him when he was only 14 years old when he was cast as Walter White Jr., a part he played with such joy and enthusiasm.
Born with Cerebral Palsy, he never - ever - allowed that challenge to be an excuse for anything. He met the demanding shooting schedule head on with great determination.
Always listening to the advice that his TV parents (Anna Gunn and myself) gave him - but being a teenager, sometimes mischievously ignoring the counsel in order to learn the hard way… He was one of the stars of a hit TV show - but still a kid.
That kid was pretty raw when we started shooting the pilot in February of 2007, but little by little we watched him grow into a really fine actor. He parlayed his experience on the show to be a vocal advocate for performers with disabilities, and was the head of a philanthropic organization with a focus on helping the disabled community.
All that promise and potential now is such a loss.
It is especially devastating to hear that he took his own life.
Why?
We were texting each other just a few weeks ago - figuring out when we could meet for lunch. I don’t know if that lunch would have changed his future…
But I do know that I loved him, and thoroughly enjoyed being with him throughout the years on the series, and after the spotlight on Breaking Bad dimmed…
I’ll miss you, son.I can’t stop there without imploring anyone who is contemplating suicide to please call for the support you need at 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (https://988lifeline.org/). There is hope.
It's a method of dehumanization. It's a way for libs to say that anyone who doesn't support NATO isn't a human.

I don't know why you think that I'm trying to debate you or argue with you. My comment was to acclimate you to the website and to Marxism more broadly. You say that my critique is simple and yes my comment is simple because it was written for you to be easy to understand, not as a debate. What good would it be for me to speak in a complex way and then for you to not understand it?
"But material conditions don't eliminate individual agency." Yes, they do. Why are you living in a motel right now instead of mansion? Is it because you chose to live in a motel or is it because you lacked agency in the decision? Material conditions create a power structure. The power structure exists to limit or eliminate agency. Other people's actions are also shaped by their material conditions, even the people who have wronged you. Nobody exists in a vacuum, every person is a creature responding to the system around them.
This is a thought experiment for you. You asked for constructive commentary. If someone wrongs you, imagine the systemic reasons that lead to the person behaving that way. This is not meant to absolve the person who wronged you, nor does it shift the blame to the victim. This is meant to explore systemic structures that cause injustices.
You made multiple videos about your uncle stealing your soda. I suspect there's some deeper reasons why you dislike your uncle and you use this as like a simple explanation for a larger beef, but let's pretend it's actually all about the soda stealing. What is the solution to "uncles stealing soda"? You go on a diatribe about how narcissism makes people drink other people's soda. (No offense) I don't think that moral shaming is going to stop uncles from stealing soda. I think there's probably a systemic reason why uncles would feel that they deserve to drink the soda of their nephews. In at least one video, you mentioned being opposed to the nuclear family. Friedrich Engels writes criticisms of the nuclear family in a book called 'Origin of Family'.
Remember, I'm not trying to argue with you. You see how other commenters reacted negatively to your post. I said that you seem like a real person. I'm not doing a "pile-on". I said that hexbear should give you a chance, metaphorically speaking. I don't speak for all of hexbear. I can see that you are passionate and in a tough situation.
Your argument about some Southern Democrats not being racist is pointless because "southern" is not the only issue with the label. Hexbear does not support Democrats. Democrats are not socialists. Democrats are people who believe that capitalism can be preserved with social safety nets. I don't care whether your grandparents voted for Obama when I don't support Obama.
Democrats are not even the most progressive figures in the history of the South. There were communists in the South. Democrats are not communists or socialists. Democrats are not even left wing, not now and not historically either. FDR is seen as a beloved Democrat figure for his 'New Deal' policies. The ineffectiveness of "old school" Democrat policies is that most of the elements of the 'New Deal' have been utterly gutted. Minimum wage was a policy created by the New Deal and minimum wage in Mississippi is still $7.25. The purpose of the 'New Deal' was to block socialism and look where that got.
I think that it really sucks that you are in a bad situation. My advice to you is that you find a socialist organization in your area, not a democrat organization. Look for either DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) or PSL (Party for Socialism & Liberation). There's a PSL for Mississippi and a PSL in Birmingham AL. There's a DSA in Ocean Springs Mississippi and a DSA in Mobile Alabama. These groups all have pages on instagram. There's some other locations if you google it.
Try to find a socialist organization in your area. See if they recommend other organizations in your area. Try to branch out. Don't tell them that you're a Democrat. Say that you were a Democrat and you feel that you are Left of their policies now. Be open to learning new things. Maybe they can help you or you can help them.
This is the response from Ilhan Omar, 3 hours ago.

Ilhan Omar
I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.
I will not be silenced.
Trump has been Islamophobic against Ilhan Omar for a long time. Some of you have heard the Trump clip where he says "may allah awaken the people" and might not know that he was quoting Ilhan Omar.

(False consciousness is not a term that Marx ever used and there is only 1 record instance of Friedrich Engels using it. Also Ben used the term wrong.)

Minute 5
Ben misunderstands what "class war" is and he says that it's something that DSA wants to do in the future. (Class War is already happening) Ben says that DSA is wrong because anyone can be a stock trader if they want to.
Ben asserts that Labor Theory of Value is a bad idea and doesn't explain why.
Minute 6
Ben conflates "price" with "value". He says price can be whatever people are willing to pay.
Minute 7

Performance Given to Celebrate 81st Founding Anniversary of WPK
Pyongyang, October 11 (KCNA) -- A celebration performance was given with splendor at the Pyongyang Indoor Stadium on Oct. 10, the 81st founding anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea, now that the people's absolute confidence in the WPK, the great guide and invincible vanguard for the Juche revolution, is growing stronger along with the significant October holiday.

The venue of the performance was overflowing with deep reverence for the Party, alongside the audiences recollecting with deep emotion the sacred founding history of the Party and its immortal exploits.

Stormy cheers of "Hurrah!" went up among the audiences paying the highest glory and respect to Comrade Kim Jong Un, the great leader of the ever-victorious WPK, who is representing the dignity and mightiness of the DPRK.

Present there on invitation were diplomatic envoys and members of foreign missions here.
The performance began with prelude "Long Live the Workers' Party of Korea" and "Fly High, Our Party Flag". Put on the stage were all-people hymns to the WPK and patriotic songs, played in good artistic harmony with vocals, dance, acrobatics, gymnastics and military band's performance.
Enthusiastically singing the odes to the Party, produced by the sacred experiences of the people, the performers sang high praises of the glorious history and immortal exploits of the WPK that built on this land a dignified country, where people's dreams and ideals come true, and made great world-startling miracles and changes century after century, hewing the untrodden path of the socialist cause, arduous yet sacred, for over 80 years.
The audience fervently applauded the famous songs which made them feel proud of the greatness and mightiness of the WPK that has written the longest history as a ruling party in the world, fulfilling the most righteous mission and implementing the noble idea, reminding them of their great honor and fortune of having the wise political staff confidently steering our cause straight to victory.
Performers gave other colorful numbers representing the ardent desire and enthusiasm of the people determined to realize the far-reaching ambition for the comprehensive development of socialism, single-mindedly supporting their motherly Party.
The performance, which ended with the finale "The National Anthem of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea", added to the conviction and optimism that the path being taken by the DPRK is always the one of justice and truth and an immensely beautiful and bright future is in store for it as it is led by the great Party.
The performance was highly acclaimed by the audiences for the songs of undying faith and patriotism.
Expressing satisfaction at the successful performance, Comrade Kim Jong Un warmly waved back to the performers and audiences.
