Of course the Sony Execs would be less than pleased. The fault for the failure, largely rests on their plate. So screw em! If they can't own up to their failures and accept responsibility, they don't belong in those positions.
Sony is the distributor and current owner of the Spider-Man license, they don't give a damn about this movie 😂, this movie was made by... drum roll... MARVEL! (most likely story writing and screenplay) and Columbia pictures (owned by sony and possible who did the filming), and financed by TSG entertaiment (use to finance 20th century fox movies and after the Disney takeover TSG sued Disney for breach of contract), i'm quite sure this movie was one of those leftover deals Sony had with 20th century fox to develop movies in the Spider-man universe.
I'm seeing a lot of complacency in people that are still half-and-half in support of the crappy woke makeover of their beloved old franchises, always citing ridiculous reasons like how "things have finally changed" or "they've seen the light" to lax their stance for the icons they love most. Unless people collectively put their foot down and show some discipline till things change, nothing will.
@@vajona2495you be surprised. The only reason they still got money is by loans, their woke followers, the government, or countries that still buys their products and have them shipped.
@@pruephillip1338 Sounds like some kind of FOX News or Ron DeSantis definition, nowhere close to our defi idiot. This is what happens when someone steals our vernacular.
Exactly. That's why I say it's the worse time to be a kid in this decade. Anyone who grew up in 90s and 2000s they're nostalgia is spider man 2002, shrek, pokemon gba and ds games, space jam harry potter movies and books rvery year. But for late 2010s and 2020s, what do they have?
In a world where the audience is constantly blamed for “letting” a movie fail, it’s refreshing to see someone putting the blame where it truly belongs.
Maybe if they didn’t make garbage movies the “audience” would go watch them. This only proves there are more of us than there are of them. They just make spectacles of themselves and get more attention. When we boycott they actually feel it. And they can’t stand it 😏😂
Exactly, the people creating the products are the ones to blame. IMO, this goes with AI as well. I don't think using AI in art is inherently problematic, but imagine two scenarios. In scenario 1, you have a group of artists genuinely passionate about their crafts, and they are keen to think of ideas about how AIs might improve certain parts of their work. In scenario 2, you have a group of corporate executives thinking about how to use AI to reduce costs and maximise profits. I would say that in scenario 1, AI can indeed have merits in the creative process.
I think in the future woke will be seen for the sexist, racist behaviour it truly is. You don’t fight racism with racism and sexism with sexism. You fight them with equality not further (positive) discrimination.
Hate to disappoint you but diversity and equality are not going anywhere. It’s just the opposite because in 2060 the United States population is estimated to be composed of 55 % diverse/inner racial people and groups. That number will continue to grow exponentially 😀.
Could have had a great script originally, based on Dakota's statement, it sounds like it at least had something better. Rewrites, reshoots and the editing room floor might have claimed most of it. 🤔 I suppose it could be a moving ball throughout the 2-3 year production process as various people sink the claws into it.
LOL Sure. She gets rich peddling socialist propaganda and you "respect her honesty." Has nothing to do with that she is a woman and attractive. Some men really are as pathetic as the feminists say.
Ah yes, remember when COVID eased off and they wanted amnesty for how they acted? That was a live preview of what we're going to see.

Props to her.
A friend of mine teaches in a leading drama college. Over the past few years he's had to put up with diversity hiring, affirmative action, pronouns, not being able to use the words 'men' and 'women' when coaching a choir, the cancellation of Christmas (Winter Festival) and lots of other nonsense. He told me recently that his latest batch of students, many of them from ethnic minorities, say they are not interested in the 'woke s**t' and made a point of wishing him a Happy Christmas as soon as they walked out of the college, saying, 'at least they can't police what we say out here!'.
@@Solsuper7. Woke is when you go along with the idea that you can refuse people from certain ethnicities work, college slots, opportunities etc. In particular with a dislike of people from a European background, basically trying to make them second class citizens. Also ideas such as allowing men into womens sports and locker rooms. Wokeists also try and push ideas like mass immigration as a good thing. Generally these types of things. Also being miserable and complaining alot are other common traits.
@@TizerisT. Hi and thank for your definition, you’re the only person who answered my question. However, your definition is not the actual definition of “woke” what you just shared is what hard right Republicans like DeSantis who co-opted and twisted the original , cultural, social, and historical actual meaning of woke . The term woke was first by a black blues singer named Lead Belly who wrote a song protesting the wrongful persecution , and conviction of the “ Socttsboro Boys” in Alabama in the early 1920 . Later the word was used by black parents who told their children to “stay woke” every time they left home because in the Jim Crow south the most dangerous times for children was whenever they left home. You can research all of what I just shared with you, and because “woke”in its origins and even today is a word of caution for African Americans who are out and about in America. It’s not anti white , it’s not anti anything, and has no political or social agenda. To use the term “ work “ in tribal politics is an affront to most African Americans because it has been turned into a word that represents exclusion, and bias towards a group of people .
@@Solsuper7. You're welcome. I'm aware what the historical meaning of it was, but those days are far behind and I shall continue to use the contemporary meaning. Nowadays we fight wokeism in the workplace, in society, in media among other things. The white kids of tomorrow deserve better than some DEI hire telling them how bad their bloodline is. We wont give up until it is stamped out, and the public in general are sick of wokeism, as you can probably tell. The pendulum is swinging our way now.
The woke garbage is MOSTLY dying down. But there's still bits and pieces of it that will come around to annoy us here and there, but not as significant.
It's *SEXIST!!!* to say BS when she cows also go poop. You can go to any cattle station and observe for yourselves, that, yes, she cows do indeed... poop... Shocking!!! But true. 🐮"Mooooo!"
We're getting somewhere though. They may have a ton of money but, this stuff isn't bringing any money back to them. It's unsustainable to keep taking these losses. It'll take years but, it looks like shareholders and investors are starting to have major second thoughts. I think things are looking up, we'll just have to see how it works out.
True but it was only 18 months ago that people were saying Disney was unassailable as they had endless cash to throw at lawyers to tie up the challenges, and look at the position they are in now. Markets are always fluctuating and spending dries up fast if you aren't making money. Faster if investors actively start to abandon your products. If Gillette had been just a razor company they would be history now. parent company Proctor & Gamble absorbed a lot of that damage. Anheuser-Busch took an even greater hit. You are right, it isn't over, but I'm going to enjoy watching the suffering they reap.
HAD, if these movies keep losing so much money... even Blackrock and Vanguard feel the pain. Definitely once big investors pull out due to all the DEI/Woke stuff.
I've enjoyed you work for years now, they helped me get through 18 months of house renovations playing in the background. I found your take on things very refreshing and probably part of why I was awake to the scamdemic etc.
I actually had the privilege to work with Dakota in one scene of 50 Shades - it didn't make the final cut, unfortunately. But, she was simply a delight to work with, and I never felt as though I wasn't important during the morning we worked together. As a veritable nobody, it was a nice surprise to be treated so well by someone who knew she was going to be a big name.
They'll just change a tune and majority will forget all about it. Blizzard, for example, spits at their fans and laughs in their faces, only for their fans to still buy all the new shit they release.
I miss your previous work Dave. You shined a great light during the convid period. A very dark time in human history. Hope you’re keeping buddy. God bless
No, it is not ending. It continues to be a threat to everything that came before in every Western country, but especially in several English speaking countries, not the US. How it affects the entertainment industry is a thing, but on the whole, having income, feeding the kids, etc, rate much higher. My bet is that no matter how Hollywood behavior changes, it will only change enough to stop losing money, while behavior in those English speaking countries may spiral to a very sad and permanent place.
"woke" might, but it's just one tool in the left's arsenal. The left has been on a rampage since 1789, anyone thinking they can beat it is sorely mistaken. The English speaking world is experiencing what other parts of the world have been dealing with since forever. The left isn't different from its past, it's the values that kept them at bay that are receding.
As long as THE INTER-NATIONAL BANK CORPORATIONS are still a thing, this madness will never, ever end!! "Those who fail to learn from the past (history) are condemned to repeat it"
It pretty much is actually even marvel has fired.All that's woke activist While it is still a thread, it is thankfully. Indeed ending finally an end of an era that should have never happened. It was just these companies. That think they can just make more money bowing down.In these idiots, until they realized that they were not worth it Since they don't really make money out of them.
@@Elitesolider1023 Here we are four months after the supposed end, and I don't see any end to the woke. Firing extraneous staff has not changed the product.
I remember watching her dad, Don Johnson in Miami vice in the days before woke spoilt everything. The other main actor was Philip Michael Thomas, a black actor. This was not a big deal, there was no mention of it, it was just another actor who happened to be black. More sensible times for sure.
Every single horrible woke movie and tv show of the last several years had the potential to not only be good but great. Yet they chose to sacrifice greatness in exchange for woke ideology and leftist DEI/SJW messaging.
The powers that be are intentionally making them unwatchable, in order to demoralize the fandom and average moviegoers. Ex K G B Yuri Bezmemov outlines their plan perfectly.
@@crazyralph6386 Yuri only told half the story. These activist writers, actors and directors are "useful idiots" whose purpose is to create division and help destabilize society. When they have served that purpose, they will be eliminated. Do you know how reverse psychology works? It's the assertation of one idea or belief with the expectation the subject of the persuasion will do the opposite. In this case, these activists are being used to assert Marxist ideologies with the expectation people will gravitate towards Conservative ideologies. Step one of the "Four steps for ideological subversion". (Yuri Bezmenov, 1985) Demoralization - this is a process which can take about 15-30 years to perform (a generation). *During this stage, the moral fibre and integrity of the country is put into question, thereby creating doubt in the minds of the people. To do so, manipulation of the media and academia is required to influence young people.* As the younger generation embraces new values, such as Marxism and Leninism, the older generation slowly loses control simply through attrition. *Again, true facts no longer matter during this stage, but rather creating perceptions are of paramount importance.* Communism and Religion Abolished - all religious and metaphysics is rejected. Engels and Lenin agreed that religion was a drug or “spiritual booze” and must be combated. *To them, atheism put into practice meant a “forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.”* ---Whether you want to accept it or not, the United States and Western civilization have been founded on Judeo Christian ideas, principles, morals, values and ethics. If the Bible says the man is the head of the house and should be leaders in society, the activists claim it is "sexist and bigoted". If the Bible says a marriage should be between a man and a woman and that homosexuality is immoral, the activists claim it is the people who stand up for morality who are actually immoral. The Bible forbids men from dressing as women, and women dressing as men, so they go a step further and say you can change your gender (and use mental gymnastics to try and say there is a difference between sex and gender to justify themselves). Eliminating American exceptionalism, fundamental change of national identity, structural deconstruction of foundational principles, elimination of religion. Embedding a new societal design upon the psyche of generations through ideological academia, peer pressure by elites upon academics and society to convince that prior values were inherently flawed, racist, prejudiced etc. National identity is diluted with aspersions toward historical references. National History is re-written, re-defined, and molded to fit the new intended behavioral model and create the new values. ---Established IP are a part of our national, cultural, social and (for many) personal history. To see them try changing history to force in an ideological viewpoint that contradicts national/historical evidence and tradition is only going to create conflict. "Bread and circuses" (or bread and games; from Latin: panem et circenses) is a metonymic phrase referring to *superficial appeasement.* It is attributed to Juvenal (Satires, Satire X), a Roman poet active in the late first and early second century AD, and is used commonly in cultural, particularly political, contexts. In a political context, the phrase means to generate public approval, not by excellence in public service or public policy, but by diversion, distraction, or by satisfying the most immediate or base requirements of a populace,* by offering a palliative: for example food (bread) or *entertainment* (circuses). Juvenal originally used it to decry the "selfishness" of common people and their neglect of wider concerns. The phrase implies a population's erosion or ignorance of civic duty as a priority. ---It is evident that only a selfish, small vocal minority of people are being given what they want, and even that is on a superficial, bare minimum level. This phrase originates from Rome in Satire X of the Roman satirical poet Juvenal (c. 100 AD). In context, the Latin panem et circenses (bread and circuses) identifies the only remaining interest of a Roman *populace that no longer cares for its historical birthright of political involvement.* Here Juvenal displays his contempt for the *declining heroism* of contemporary Romans, using a range of different themes, including lust for power and desire for old age to illustrate his argument. ---All of our childhood heroes are being destroyed by Hollywood, and the new heroes are nothing worth getting excited about. Juvenal here makes reference to the Roman practice of providing free wheat to Roman citizens as well as costly circus games and other *forms of entertainment as a means of gaining political power.* The Annona (grain dole) was begun under the instigation of the aristocratic popularis politician Gaius Sempronius Gracchus in 123 BC; *it remained an object of political contention until it was taken under the control of the autocratic Roman emperors.* Step 3 of the "Four steps for ideological subversion". Crisis-This is a major step lasting up to six weeks and involves *a revolutionary change of power.* This is where a cataclysmic event (false flag event, civil war, invasion) upsets and divides the country thereby creating panic among the citizens. To Americans, symptoms would include circumventing the Constitution (re: Use "privately owned" social media sites to restrict free speech/First Amendment rights) and altering the checks and balances of government (see: Video and article I posted above), and possible martial law. Creation of economic, financial and national security crisis. Also includes social crisis and a breakdown of previously self-evident restrictions on moral behavior. The Cloward-Piven approach is used to create more takers than producers. *The crisis produces benevolent leaders who will promise to deliver things to meet people's needs through “hope and change”* (ie: Hitler’s rise to power amidst a disenfranchised German population reeling from the effects of WW1) through social and economic justice. False illusion that the situation is under control if strategic directions are followed-Bailouts, regulations of industry and so forth. When a small minority of people are given entitlements and benefits while the majority suffers, that leads to the majority of people seeking a leader who gives hope to the majority by promising to restore things back to the way they were and Make America Great Again. Oddly enough, Donald John Trump, descendent of Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne, is the man who people will turn to as a means to save us from Communism and give us hope once again.
@@deanrogers6027 Actually there were a lots of people who didn't survive 'this thing' (or at least the consequences of it). Critical race theory has Marxist roots, and the tactics used by the woke SJW's are socialits tactics too. In the country I live in, we had Communism for almost 5 decads, and it had around 2 million victims who were killed, and several other millions who ended up in work camps. This is why Eastern Europe is so based. Several living generations went trough the propaganda you Americans go trough today, and this is why we are rejecting those very progressive ideologies the woke people try to shove down our throats.

@@deanrogers6027 Not really, the traditional family has become a distant dream, so while we may have individually survived, our dreams have been destroyed, and our hope for the future.
At least we will still recover even though it will probably take another 7 years to recover this. Since this all started in 2016 or at least got worse, all I know is that's when it truly started. And just within 7 years, it failed miserably. Barely made amount of money. Destroyed businesses it's over.
Agreed, the tide has turned. WOKE has only gotten this far through social media, which is dominated by young people, but now the everyday person is growing a voice, and pushing back.
They've show a lot of class over this, and you can tell from Dakota Johnson's quotes that she has looked upon the attacking of audiences with disgust. The one thing that worries me is the studio's response, she may have just blacklisted herself over these comments.
Based on her statement, I got the sense that she definitely expects it. Then again, the era of the movie star is over. And she was unlikely to get another title character role after this flop... Seems alot of actors and actresses these days are largely one or two and done.
I think it's more that she's smart enough to notice what happens when an actress attacks the fans of a beloved property (meaning Marvel as a whole). Also, I'm sure she's quite annoyed at Sony and her ex Agent for roping her into that trash film.
Her parents have been in the industry for years. She absolutely knows what the backing of fans means and that industry people will eventually cave if they can make money.

Oh I’m glad I was born before Woke became a big problem these days. Bad enough movie and video games are tarnished because of it. We use movies and video games as a means to escape the harsh reality that we live in, but when it gets infected with all this nonsense, that’s when we’ve had enough.

Agreed. Woke is firmly entrenched in all positions of power and authority. It will take generations to weed it all out, and by that time society will have changed to such an extent as not to be recognizable from today.
It is still happening though, especially in blue states. Anywhere from local counties and townships to private businesses. They continue to be purveyors of DEI.
We had a bout of it in the 70s then in the 90s and then again in the 2010s into the 2020s and each time it's gained 'permanent' ground. Political Correctness movements ask for too much at their zenith, so you end up with 'overreach' which is what we have now, there will be some rollback but not as much as some would like. This is the way. The thing about woke now, is that in my life I have not seen it have such a high for so long, for it to be as powerful as it is, and for the overreach to be so strong and lasting. I do think each wave of woke has been stronger than the one before, so watch out for the next wave it may crush us, or hopefully we don't have any more as this is the last.
I've noticed this too. There has always been pushback, but the Overton window usually still shifts to the left's favor. For example, pre-Roe v. Wade, abortion was dominantly seen as morally wrong and just another form of murder, or at best a necessary evil to save a mother's life from eminent death. But since that decision, people have deluded themselves into believing it was a "constitutional right" and treating as a minor clinical "procedure" as long as you don't think about the tongs, dumpsters, and demographics involved. Of course the decision was overturned, but 50 years of this has turned into a much more normal thing with most states now allowing it with a collective amnesia, forgetting that another human life is involved. Enough that somehow, an invidual is not supposed to have a right to life, but does have rights to anything and everything that is less than equal.
I've noticed a change in the comments sections too, it used to be that calling out wokeness used to open you up to a lot of abuse but nowadays there are a lot more people saying the same things, I think the mainstream are finally catching up and becoming tired by all the pandering and lecturing in movies and games, about time too.
I actually see the complete opposite...even people in the so called anti-woke comments sections are completely fed up with the topic and if someone calls out a woke movie, most comments say that the video creator is already too sensitive and everything is woke to him/her. This is the result of a short but intensive brainwash by forcing wokeness on entertainment. As people are fed up, they are comfortable with "lighter" wokeness. PREY being praised as a good non-woke movie is a great example.
it wont be as simple as that people get annoyed but they wont venture down a rabbit hole nor listen to those informed they'll instead get their info from the wrong people and places and put their head back in the sand
Putting socially conscious messages in films isn't inherently evil. I don't cringe at Star Trek IV's whale message for example. What these people are doing is activism first, therefore blinds their creativity or they've been hired for DEI reasons and have no talent to begin with. Let's also not forget that most of the great superhero IP's were created by a different generation of MEN that lived full lives before writing comics.
Their movies have become like the worst of films put out by the "religious right" that way. Even messages I agree with can be annoying if presented in a bad movie.
Yeah most people agree with the premise behind the message the problem is is the styling of how they do the message is very aggressive and very confrontational or absurdist Like I agree with the idea of humans trying to practice environmentalism What I don't agree with is the moronic idea of Superman holding up protest signs for climate change at a school function Superman could solve the issue by himself why in the heck would he think that participating in a protest is a use of his powers and knowledge? That's how out of touch the folks who write these things are
Nemoy and Shatner were both passionate about saving the whales and protecting the environment, it wasn’t some tacked on forced virtue signal by soulless corporate executives trying to raise a social credit score. I wish we had more films that were “woke” about the environment and not identity politics.
I love that you're optimistic about this. My observation is that things tend to go from bad to worse and that when people have finally had enough, the movement recedes slightly, but continues in the background until the population is "ready" for it. Thesis>Antithesis>Synthesis meets the frog in a pot. All isms have a tendency to creep because the public's will to outright adopt whatever they're selling doesn't really exist. They boil the pot to an extreme until we're ready to jump, then pull back a little to let us simmer. In the end, we still get cooked.
I don't agree : there was a definite pro-labour and anti-capitalist trend in labour relationship up to about 1978 that was about to install a Soviet-like state in many countries (in Britain it was on the verge of getting installed : you needed permits to do anything and the choice in stores was reducing below GDR level with limited quantities for each) and then people reacted and business was all of a sudden back in favour like never before, when Wilson lost to Thatcher and Carter to Reagan. The anti-labour and pro-business trend never relented since, because the former leftists were bought off by business to concentrate in feminism and white-shaming instead, and also because immigrants don't come to be regimented workers but in the intention to have at least a small business. The same phenomenon is now happening with wokeness : a few countries are starting to look Mao's Chinese cultural revolution, and immigrants are the last persons to want that. As happened with the demise of workers' rights and workers' unions, the Jews are realizing they are not the winners like they first thought, and Israel just said enough is enough by bombing Gaza, an archetypal darkie ghetto : they no longer welcome for a visit LGBT pride paraders but White Chauvins who will take police repression courses.

It's probably not a coincidence that the star of the Shades of Grey series understands that, for better or worse, human beings possess immutable instincts.
I wish I could share Dave's optimistic appraisal of the situation, but I can't. It seems Hollywood and every major corporation is on a mission to jam this woke shit down our throats no matter the consequences to them.
That is because they are all owned and funded by the same small group of people. It looks like 50 companies, but it is really one or two holding companies, or investment firms holding all the strings as a common thread.

Another sign is Ireland's recent rejection of the referendum on removing wording in the constitution about women's responsibilities in the home and redefining what a "family" is. Hope to see the trend continue.
I bet their political class is _pissed;_ they're perfect EU apparatchiks. As you may recall, when an Algerian immigrant recently got a little stabby, their first response was that no, he was an Irish citizen (which is interesting, if irrelevant) and, later, that the Irish people were racist for complaining that some guy who stalled the deportation process long enough that he was granted citizenship and then proceeded to hurt people was still in the country.

Woke is not ending. It's temporarily retreating in some areas of life. In time it'll be back in perhaps a slightly different form. The HR managers that bought it in will mostly keep their jobs giving preference to their ilk in recruitment matters going forwards.
Naw, their sick ideology are retreating back into their 💩 hole where they came from, until the opportune time arises again, and the mega-Corporations can only lose so much money, so back to the drawing board it is again.

I have a lot of respect for Dakota Johnson: it’s actually very brave (and incredibly refreshing) for her to lay the blame at the studio’s door rather than the usual blaming of fans. It’s brave because, considering how studios currently operate, she could potentially see role offers drying up - because she’ll undoubtedly be labelled “problematic”. Kudos to to her and I genuinely hope her (correct) opinion doesn’t harm her career.
And we’ve already seen how poorly that has been working for them so far, haven’t we? As we’ve seen with the mass layoffs within Movie, gaming, and comic studios and multiple DEI-affiliated studios shutting down in spite of their access to ESG funding, the ESG funding they receive is finite. If they could just use ESG funds to replace the money from the customers they scared off, there wouldn’t be a need to perform layoffs or for studios to shut down at all, because those actions insinuate a lack of income. The misconception that these studios don’t need the customers money because of their ESG backing has been proven wrong time and time again, and people need to stop peddling it.

You’re commenting on a video that discusses a topic that heavily involves the entertainment industry, a comments section full of people who are also talking mainly about the entertainment industry. That was the main point of discussion here from the start, so me focusing on it shouldn’t come as a surprise to you at all. I hope you know that all you did here is show that you only read the video title of before making your comments. Perhaps you should pay attention to what’s being said and actually watch the video first before commenting.
@@mr_reborn, Congratulations, you just showed that you’re still not paying attention and are only commenting back at me as a gut reaction. You seem to purposely choose to be bent out of shape over me focusing on entertainment, while still ignoring WHY I’m focusing on entertainment despite the fact that I just told you why in the very comment you responded to. I’m focusing on Entertainment because that is the topic being discussed here from the very beginning, weather it be in the video your commenting under or this very comments section you are commenting in. I’m focusing on entertainment because the discussion was already about entertainment, therefore I was making points relevant to the discussion that was being had. Me trying to focus on something else wouldn’t make any sense to the topic of debate and would be considered an attempt to derail or deviate the conversation, so I kept my comments relevant to the topic of discussion. It’s not that hard to comprehend. And if that offends you or disturbs you so much that you have to continue to make an issue out of it like this, then perhaps you shouldn’t even be commenting here to begin with. Because as I have pointed out multiple times, everyone here is doing it, everyone here is focusing on entertainment, because the topic being discussed is about the entertainment industry. So if you can’t handle that, then leave. Nobody here is forcing you to continue engaging in this comments section, you are only forcing yourself.
Ending? Nope Like any good sadist, they're just pausing for a minute, before they ram it down your throat again. I'm afraid it's just on the back burner for a while, till they regroup and come back with woke 2.0 At least we'll get a few half decent movies and TV shows till then.
Its going to come in waves, although it will never achieve the dizzying heights of power it gained in 2020/21. The problem is that academia is infested with these people. The good news is that academia is failing and college degrees are becoming ever more irrelevant, ever more expensive. The end of wokeness as a major force will come only with further declines in traditional academia and declines in institutional trust.
Wow, Dakota is a genuine badass! Who knew? She just proved she has more balls than half of Hollywood, and that's the half that was born with balls! Way to go, a light shines brightest in the darkness!
I remember a line from an NPC in World of Warcraft's Mists of Pandaria expansion. He said, paraphrased, "Fear can only rule over a people so long as they lack courage. When they find their courage, they will be free". That quote really stuck with me, and now we are seeing it in action. The woke have ruled through fear, and now people have realized just what cowardly, spineless, zealots they truly are.
Well, Done to Dakota Johnson!! That shows guts and she deserve respect for calling out this trash and hollywood and their greed and stupidity! Sydney Sweeny as well. Time for this woke trash to end.

I'd rather say it's a cultural wave coming from US (and whoever the globalizers are) that the western you are in Europe the more affected you are. There might be elements in eastern Europe too but they are far lesser and most people and even politicians don't buy as much into it. So I would expect US to be more infected than Europe whether it's dying or not. Eventually the Europeans will wake up seeing the damage done in nearby countries. Eventually people will figure it out.
Apparently Sony is less than pleased with her for speaking out, but she has offered no apology or retraction. Good on her

Of course the Sony Execs would be less than pleased. The fault for the failure, largely rests on their plate. So screw em! If they can't own up to their failures and accept responsibility, they don't belong in those positions.

Sony is the distributor and current owner of the Spider-Man license, they don't give a damn about this movie 😂, this movie was made by... drum roll... MARVEL! (most likely story writing and screenplay) and Columbia pictures (owned by sony and possible who did the filming), and financed by TSG entertaiment (use to finance 20th century fox movies and after the Disney takeover TSG sued Disney for breach of contract), i'm quite sure this movie was one of those leftover deals Sony had with 20th century fox to develop movies in the Spider-man universe.

I'm seeing a lot of complacency in people that are still half-and-half in support of the crappy woke makeover of their beloved old franchises, always citing ridiculous reasons like how "things have finally changed" or "they've seen the light" to lax their stance for the icons they love most.

In a world where the audience is constantly blamed for “letting” a movie fail, it’s refreshing to see someone putting the blame where it truly belongs.
Sir I read your comment in a 1980s movie trailer narration voice “In a worrrrld…”
Maybe if they didn’t make garbage movies the “audience” would go watch them. This only proves there are more of us than there are of them. They just make spectacles of themselves and get more attention. When we boycott they actually feel it. And they can’t stand it 😏😂
Also a lot of trans people are detransitioning because we don’t want to be related to straight men pretending to be trans,
Exactly, the people creating the products are the ones to blame.
IMO, this goes with AI as well. I don't think using AI in art is inherently problematic, but imagine two scenarios. In scenario 1, you have a group of artists genuinely passionate about their crafts, and they are keen to think of ideas about how AIs might improve certain parts of their work. In scenario 2, you have a group of corporate executives thinking about how to use AI to reduce costs and maximise profits. I would say that in scenario 1, AI can indeed have merits in the creative process.
I think in the future woke will be seen for the sexist, racist behaviour it truly is. You don’t fight racism with racism and sexism with sexism. You fight them with equality not further (positive) discrimination.
Best comment so far.

@@Solsuper7. Woke is when you go along with the idea that you can refuse people from certain ethnicities work, college slots, opportunities etc. In particular with a dislike of people from a European background, basically trying to make them second class citizens. Also ideas such as allowing men into womens sports and locker rooms. Wokeists also try and push ideas like mass immigration as a good thing. Generally these types of things. Also being miserable and complaining alot are other common traits.
@@TizerisT. Hi and thank for your definition, you’re the only person who answered my question. However, your definition is not the actual definition of “woke” what you just shared is what hard right Republicans like DeSantis who co-opted and twisted the original , cultural, social, and historical actual meaning of woke . The term woke was first by a black blues singer named Lead Belly who wrote a song protesting the wrongful persecution , and conviction of the “ Socttsboro Boys” in Alabama in the early 1920 . Later the word was used by black parents who told their children to “stay woke” every time they left home because in the Jim Crow south the most dangerous times for children was whenever they left home. You can research all of what I just shared with you, and because “woke”in its origins and even today is a word of caution for African Americans who are out and about in America. It’s not anti white , it’s not anti anything, and has no political or social agenda. To use the term “ work “ in tribal politics is an affront to most African Americans because it has been turned into a word that represents exclusion, and bias towards a group of people .
@@Solsuper7. You're welcome. I'm aware what the historical meaning of it was, but those days are far behind and I shall continue to use the contemporary meaning. Nowadays we fight wokeism in the workplace, in society, in media among other things. The white kids of tomorrow deserve better than some DEI hire telling them how bad their bloodline is. We wont give up until it is stamped out, and the public in general are sick of wokeism, as you can probably tell. The pendulum is swinging our way now.

It'll take years but, it looks like shareholders and investors are starting to have major second thoughts. I think things are looking up, we'll just have to see how it works out.
Yea not even close.
True but it was only 18 months ago that people were saying Disney was unassailable as they had endless cash to throw at lawyers to tie up the challenges, and look at the position they are in now. Markets are always fluctuating and spending dries up fast if you aren't making money. Faster if investors actively start to abandon your products. If Gillette had been just a razor company they would be history now. parent company Proctor & Gamble absorbed a lot of that damage. Anheuser-Busch took an even greater hit. You are right, it isn't over, but I'm going to enjoy watching the suffering they reap.

No, it is not ending. It continues to be a threat to everything that came before in every Western country, but especially in several English speaking countries, not the US. How it affects the entertainment industry is a thing, but on the whole, having income, feeding the kids, etc, rate much higher. My bet is that no matter how Hollywood behavior changes, it will only change enough to stop losing money, while behavior in those English speaking countries may spiral to a very sad and permanent place.
"woke" might, but it's just one tool in the left's arsenal. The left has been on a rampage since 1789, anyone thinking they can beat it is sorely mistaken. The English speaking world is experiencing what other parts of the world have been dealing with since forever. The left isn't different from its past, it's the values that kept them at bay that are receding.

The powers that be are intentionally making them unwatchable, in order to demoralize the fandom and average moviegoers. Ex K G B Yuri Bezmemov outlines their plan perfectly.
@@crazyralph6386 Yuri only told half the story.
These activist writers, actors and directors are "useful idiots" whose purpose is to create division and help destabilize society. When they have served that purpose, they will be eliminated.
Do you know how reverse psychology works? It's the assertation of one idea or belief with the expectation the subject of the persuasion will do the opposite. In this case, these activists are being used to assert Marxist ideologies with the expectation people will gravitate towards Conservative ideologies.
Step one of the "Four steps for ideological subversion". (Yuri Bezmenov, 1985)
Demoralization - this is a process which can take about 15-30 years to perform (a generation). *During this stage, the moral fibre and integrity of the country is put into question, thereby creating doubt in the minds of the people. To do so, manipulation of the media and academia is required to influence young people.* As the younger generation embraces new values, such as Marxism and Leninism, the older generation slowly loses control simply through attrition. *Again, true facts no longer matter during this stage, but rather creating perceptions are of paramount importance.*
Communism and Religion
Abolished - all religious and metaphysics is rejected. Engels and Lenin agreed that religion was a drug or “spiritual booze” and must be combated. *To them, atheism put into practice meant a “forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.”*
---Whether you want to accept it or not, the United States and Western civilization have been founded on Judeo Christian ideas, principles, morals, values and ethics. If the Bible says the man is the head of the house and should be leaders in society, the activists claim it is "sexist and bigoted". If the Bible says a marriage should be between a man and a woman and that homosexuality is immoral, the activists claim it is the people who stand up for morality who are actually immoral. The Bible forbids men from dressing as women, and women dressing as men, so they go a step further and say you can change your gender (and use mental gymnastics to try and say there is a difference between sex and gender to justify themselves).
Eliminating American exceptionalism, fundamental change of national identity, structural deconstruction of foundational principles, elimination of religion. Embedding a new societal design upon the psyche of generations through ideological academia, peer pressure by elites upon academics and society to convince that prior values were inherently flawed, racist, prejudiced etc. National identity is diluted with aspersions toward historical references. National History is re-written, re-defined, and molded to fit the new intended behavioral model and create the new values.
---Established IP are a part of our national, cultural, social and (for many) personal history. To see them try changing history to force in an ideological viewpoint that contradicts national/historical evidence and tradition is only going to create conflict.
"Bread and circuses" (or bread and games; from Latin: panem et circenses) is a metonymic phrase referring to *superficial appeasement.* It is attributed to Juvenal (Satires, Satire X), a Roman poet active in the late first and early second century AD, and is used commonly in cultural, particularly political, contexts.
In a political context, the phrase means to generate public approval, not by excellence in public service or public policy, but by diversion, distraction, or by satisfying the most immediate or base requirements of a populace,* by offering a palliative: for example food (bread) or *entertainment* (circuses).
Juvenal originally used it to decry the "selfishness" of common people and their neglect of wider concerns. The phrase implies a population's erosion or ignorance of civic duty as a priority.
---It is evident that only a selfish, small vocal minority of people are being given what they want, and even that is on a superficial, bare minimum level.
This phrase originates from Rome in Satire X of the Roman satirical poet Juvenal (c. 100 AD). In context, the Latin panem et circenses (bread and circuses) identifies the only remaining interest of a Roman *populace that no longer cares for its historical birthright of political involvement.* Here Juvenal displays his contempt for the *declining heroism* of contemporary Romans, using a range of different themes, including lust for power and desire for old age to illustrate his argument.
---All of our childhood heroes are being destroyed by Hollywood, and the new heroes are nothing worth getting excited about.
Juvenal here makes reference to the Roman practice of providing free wheat to Roman citizens as well as costly circus games and other *forms of entertainment as a means of gaining political power.* The Annona (grain dole) was begun under the instigation of the aristocratic popularis politician Gaius Sempronius Gracchus in 123 BC; *it remained an object of political contention until it was taken under the control of the autocratic Roman emperors.*
Step 3 of the "Four steps for ideological subversion".
Crisis-This is a major step lasting up to six weeks and involves *a revolutionary change of power.* This is where a cataclysmic event (false flag event, civil war, invasion) upsets and divides the country thereby creating panic among the citizens.
To Americans, symptoms would include circumventing the Constitution (re: Use "privately owned" social media sites to restrict free speech/First Amendment rights) and altering the checks and balances of government (see: Video and article I posted above), and possible martial law.
Creation of economic, financial and national security crisis. Also includes social crisis and a breakdown of previously self-evident restrictions on moral behavior.
The Cloward-Piven approach is used to create more takers than producers.
*The crisis produces benevolent leaders who will promise to deliver things to meet people's needs through “hope and change”* (ie: Hitler’s rise to power amidst a disenfranchised German population reeling from the effects of WW1) through social and economic justice. False illusion that the situation is under control if strategic directions are followed-Bailouts, regulations of industry and so forth.
When a small minority of people are given entitlements and benefits while the majority suffers, that leads to the majority of people seeking a leader who gives hope to the majority by promising to restore things back to the way they were and Make America Great Again.
Oddly enough, Donald John Trump, descendent of Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne, is the man who people will turn to as a means to save us from Communism and give us hope once again.

Agreed, the tide has turned. WOKE has only gotten this far through social media, which is dominated by young people, but now the everyday person is growing a voice, and pushing back.
They've show a lot of class over this, and you can tell from Dakota Johnson's quotes that she has looked upon the attacking of audiences with disgust. The one thing that worries me is the studio's response, she may have just blacklisted herself over these comments.
Based on her statement, I got the sense that she definitely expects it. Then again, the era of the movie star is over. And she was unlikely to get another title character role after this flop... Seems alot of actors and actresses these days are largely one or two and done.
Yep. Her social credit score is going to take a nose dive.
I think it's more that she's smart enough to notice what happens when an actress attacks the fans of a beloved property (meaning Marvel as a whole). Also, I'm sure she's quite annoyed at Sony and her ex Agent for roping her into that trash film.

“Wokenoma” is a cancerous disease that is finally starting to get treated, but I am not yet convinced that the illness will be completely cured.
Not until it gets completely banned and criminalized, that's for sure
I’m not convinced it won’t still be fatal. We have two generations deeply bra.inwas.hed with it now, and Zero effort is being made to turn education back toward sanity. I guess we’ll see…
@@alexman378 it will under Islam
@@AutomaticDuck300 Well, being from a country that’s been under Islamic occupation, has had a genocide attempt made, and is under constant threat of a repeat, that’s kind of a nuclear solution.
Sadly, Islam is the only thing that has the balls to do this, it seems. Ironic too, the mass importation was Ieftist mandated.
Wokosis is better term as 'osis' means a 'condition'. Oma means tumor. But it is certainly a cancerous canker - for sure.
Oh I’m glad I was born before Woke became a big problem these days. Bad enough movie and video games are tarnished because of it. We use movies and video games as a means to escape the harsh reality that we live in, but when it gets infected with all this nonsense, that’s when we’ve had enough.
I missed your good news videos. I regret to say I unsubbed a couple years ago in a dark time in my life because it was bad for my mental health.
Thanks for making this one. I needed it.
Damage is done. Woke won't end it will just go underground and hide in the shadows like it always has.
That's when you're _supposed_ to go on the hunt.
what "woke" means to you?
Do you not have an archetype in your minds eye of what woke is?@@vanjadezelic732
Hollywood has *always* been "woke", often propagandizing against godly values.
They just shed their skin, like a snake.
@@vanjadezelic732Woke basically means marxism but applied to culture.
People have been saying for ten years that woke is ending. There is no end in sight.
Serves us right for rejecting godly values from our entertainment! We're getting what we deserve.
10 years?
Six month
@@evertonporter7887 Amen. Bring back the Hays Code, and I mean that with all Seriousness! Godless and Profane Filth like we have to suffer now would *never* have been allowed under the Hays Code!

Godly values listen to your self , religion is no better. Woke and religion need to fuck off. @evertonporter7887
Was the last time this woke stuff happened was it in the 60s?
Make peace not war etc.
Unless history is repeating itself and its like the 1920s?
We're not winning. I smell a strategic retreat from the generals leaving their goblins to die. They will return with a different name.
they are already changing the name, to BRIDGE
It happened in the early 90s too we just didnt have the instant access media like we do today
Agreed. Woke is firmly entrenched in all positions of power and authority. It will take generations to weed it all out, and by that time society will have changed to such an extent as not to be recognizable from today.
Agreed
@@spiff1death stranding much?
It is still happening though, especially in blue states. Anywhere from local counties and townships to private businesses. They continue to be purveyors of DEI.
Wokes will cancel themselves until no one is left.
We had a bout of it in the 70s then in the 90s and then again in the 2010s into the 2020s and each time it's gained 'permanent' ground. Political Correctness movements ask for too much at their zenith, so you end up with 'overreach' which is what we have now, there will be some rollback but not as much as some would like. This is the way.
The thing about woke now, is that in my life I have not seen it have such a high for so long, for it to be as powerful as it is, and for the overreach to be so strong and lasting. I do think each wave of woke has been stronger than the one before, so watch out for the next wave it may crush us, or hopefully we don't have any more as this is the last.
Social media is keeping it prolonged
I've noticed this too. There has always been pushback, but the Overton window usually still shifts to the left's favor.
For example, pre-Roe v. Wade, abortion was dominantly seen as morally wrong and just another form of murder, or at best a necessary evil to save a mother's life from eminent death. But since that decision, people have deluded themselves into believing it was a "constitutional right" and treating as a minor clinical "procedure" as long as you don't think about the tongs, dumpsters, and demographics involved. Of course the decision was overturned, but 50 years of this has turned into a much more normal thing with most states now allowing it with a collective amnesia, forgetting that another human life is involved.
Enough that somehow, an invidual is not supposed to have a right to life, but does have rights to anything and everything that is less than equal.
I've noticed a change in the comments sections too, it used to be that calling out wokeness used to open you up to a lot of abuse but nowadays there are a lot more people saying the same things, I think the mainstream are finally catching up and becoming tired by all the pandering and lecturing in movies and games, about time too.
Took their sweet time but better late than never. It's only when things get to a critical point when everyone more or less comes together.
GaY pEoPlE eXiSt YoU bIgGoT
I actually see the complete opposite...even people in the so called anti-woke comments sections are completely fed up with the topic and if someone calls out a woke movie, most comments say that the video creator is already too sensitive and everything is woke to him/her. This is the result of a short but intensive brainwash by forcing wokeness on entertainment. As people are fed up, they are comfortable with "lighter" wokeness. PREY being praised as a good non-woke movie is a great example.
More people are realizing it. That's why.
it wont be as simple as that
people get annoyed but they wont venture down a rabbit hole nor listen to those informed
they'll instead get their info from the wrong people and places and put their head back in the sand
Putting socially conscious messages in films isn't inherently evil. I don't cringe at Star Trek IV's whale message for example. What these people are doing is activism first, therefore blinds their creativity or they've been hired for DEI reasons and have no talent to begin with. Let's also not forget that most of the great superhero IP's were created by a different generation of MEN that lived full lives before writing comics.
this aint normal activism either, its totalitarian identity politics, its pure racism and sexism
the forced mediocrity and forced nepotism all rolled into one. Comes off as quite insane, really. Yet here we are.
Their movies have become like the worst of films put out by the "religious right" that way. Even messages I agree with can be annoying if presented in a bad movie.
Yeah most people agree with the premise behind the message the problem is is the styling of how they do the message is very aggressive and very confrontational or absurdist
Like I agree with the idea of humans trying to practice environmentalism
What I don't agree with is the moronic idea of Superman holding up protest signs for climate change at a school function
Superman could solve the issue by himself why in the heck would he think that participating in a protest is a use of his powers and knowledge?
That's how out of touch the folks who write these things are
Nemoy and Shatner were both passionate about saving the whales and protecting the environment, it wasn’t some tacked on forced virtue signal by soulless corporate executives trying to raise a social credit score. I wish we had more films that were “woke” about the environment and not identity politics.
Can't it end much quicker and faster already? We need to recover 10+ years from this bullshit.
Maybe longer.
Woke isn't leaving anytime soon. Not as long as people truly believe that they are morally superior by being woke.
I love that you're optimistic about this. My observation is that things tend to go from bad to worse and that when people have finally had enough, the movement recedes slightly, but continues in the background until the population is "ready" for it. Thesis>Antithesis>Synthesis meets the frog in a pot. All isms have a tendency to creep because the public's will to outright adopt whatever they're selling doesn't really exist. They boil the pot to an extreme until we're ready to jump, then pull back a little to let us simmer. In the end, we still get cooked.
Sad froggie :(
Yes. Sad froggies, indeed.@@thegreatbloviator6817
I don't agree : there was a definite pro-labour and anti-capitalist trend in labour relationship up to about 1978 that was about to install a Soviet-like state in many countries (in Britain it was on the verge of getting installed : you needed permits to do anything and the choice in stores was reducing below GDR level with limited quantities for each) and then people reacted and business was all of a sudden back in favour like never before, when Wilson lost to Thatcher and Carter to Reagan. The anti-labour and pro-business trend never relented since, because the former leftists were bought off by business to concentrate in feminism and white-shaming instead, and also because immigrants don't come to be regimented workers but in the intention to have at least a small business. The same phenomenon is now happening with wokeness : a few countries are starting to look Mao's Chinese cultural revolution, and immigrants are the last persons to want that. As happened with the demise of workers' rights and workers' unions, the Jews are realizing they are not the winners like they first thought, and Israel just said enough is enough by bombing Gaza, an archetypal darkie ghetto : they no longer welcome for a visit LGBT pride paraders but White Chauvins who will take police repression courses.
Ah. So you said all you said just to say you don't like jews. And none of what you said is an argument against my statement.@@MrMirville

I wish I could share Dave's optimistic appraisal of the situation, but I can't.
It seems Hollywood and every major corporation is on a mission to jam this woke shit down our throats no matter the consequences to them.
Same. The people who believe this still exist and many are the kids. They were playing the long game before it went full cult mode in 2020
That is because they are all owned and funded by the same small group of people. It looks like 50 companies, but it is really one or two holding companies, or investment firms holding all the strings as a common thread. Looks like dozens of movies, but all the same single pipeline and industry mandates, also ownsed by the same small group.
Their time is coming, dude, don't you worry.
@@iridescentsea3730 Maybe if we’re lucky. Biden is inviting the bandwagon Democrat voters into our country by the millions. Look at his cabinet full of left wing nut cases. Texas needs to hold the line long enough to vote him out.

Why woke culture is dying, you ask? Its their own damn fault.
Another sign is Ireland's recent rejection of the referendum on removing wording in the constitution about women's responsibilities in the home and redefining what a "family" is. Hope to see the trend continue.
Beautiful
I bet their political class is _pissed;_ they're perfect EU apparatchiks. As you may recall, when an Algerian immigrant recently got a little stabby, their first response was that no, he was an Irish citizen (which is interesting, if irrelevant) and, later, that the Irish people were racist for complaining that some guy who stalled the deportation process long enough that he was granted citizenship and then proceeded to hurt people was still in the country.
Since when do women have responsibilities lmao
Defense is still not advancement of our side. Playing only defense means every loss is permanent and nothing ever gained.

All the same i will believe it when the next Star Wars or Marvel movie get judged by its merit and not its messaging.
Woke is not ending. It's temporarily retreating in some areas of life. In time it'll be back in perhaps a slightly different form. The HR managers that bought it in will mostly keep their jobs giving preference to their ilk in recruitment matters going forwards.
It will only end when it is ended. It has to be made to happen.
Naw, their sick ideology are retreating back into their 💩 hole where they came from, until the opportune time arises again, and the mega-Corporations can only lose so much money, so back to the drawing board it is again.
The free DEI money must be drying up.

Been hearing that for a couple of years now. I have no faith in these endeavors until I see more results. We’ve gotta stop with the poor use of the over emphatic language like “career ended” or “totally exposed” because it’s never true and when it is it doesn’t matter and they still gain ground.
You can say, it will come back like the herpes of culture.
They won't even name the big organizations and institutions involved, let alone all companies. Bridge was started after the summer of "peaceful protests" four years ago.
The title brings hope. The information does point to the signs. I hope it all works out in the end. We are tired of woke in all areas of our lives.
its not about the money, they have more than enough of that to go around, its about the psychology behind what they put in films and utilizing films and influencers alike to promote ideologies that certain people want promoted
I have a lot of respect for Dakota Johnson: it’s actually very brave (and incredibly refreshing) for her to lay the blame at the studio’s door rather than the usual blaming of fans. It’s brave because, considering how studios currently operate, she could potentially see role offers drying up - because she’ll undoubtedly be labelled “problematic”. Kudos to to her and I genuinely hope her (correct) opinion doesn’t harm her career.
It actually isn't, the capital funds are doubling and tripling down on DEI in their ESG indexes.
And we’ve already seen how poorly that has been working for them so far, haven’t we? As we’ve seen with the mass layoffs within Movie, gaming, and comic studios and multiple DEI-affiliated studios shutting down in spite of their access to ESG funding, the ESG funding they receive is finite. If they could just use ESG funds to replace the money from the customers they scared off, there wouldn’t be a need to perform layoffs or for studios to shut down at all, because those actions insinuate a lack of income.
The misconception that these studios don’t need the customers money because of their ESG backing has been proven wrong time and time again, and people need to stop peddling it. If these studios don’t start listening to their customers and are going to keep doubling down, then they are going to find themselves not existing for much longer when those customers become fed up and leave them.

@@mr_reborn, Congratulations, you just showed that you’re still not paying attention and are only commenting back at me as a gut reaction. You seem to purposely choose to be bent out of shape over me focusing on entertainment, while still ignoring WHY I’m focusing on entertainment despite the fact that I just told you why in the very comment you responded to. I’m focusing on Entertainment because that is the topic being discussed here from the very beginning, weather it be in the video your commenting under or this very comments section you are commenting in.
I’m focusing on entertainment because the discussion was already about entertainment, therefore I was making points relevant to the discussion that was being had. Me trying to focus on something else wouldn’t make any sense to the topic of debate and would be considered an attempt to derail or deviate the conversation, so I kept my comments relevant to the topic of discussion. It’s not that hard to comprehend.
And if that offends you or disturbs you so much that you have to continue to make an issue out of it like this, then perhaps you shouldn’t even be commenting here to begin with. Because as I have pointed out multiple times, everyone here is doing it, everyone here is focusing on entertainment, because the topic being discussed is about the entertainment industry. So if you can’t handle that, then leave. Nobody here is forcing you to continue engaging in this comments section, you are only forcing yourself.

Like any good sadist, they're just pausing for a minute, before they ram it down your throat again.
I'm afraid it's just on the back burner for a while, till they regroup and come back with woke 2.0
At least we'll get a few half decent movies and TV shows till then.
Its going to come in waves, although it will never achieve the dizzying heights of power it gained in 2020/21. The problem is that academia is infested with these people. The good news is that academia is failing and college degrees are becoming ever more irrelevant, ever more expensive. The end of wokeness as a major force will come only with further declines in traditional academia and declines in institutional trust.
There already IS a "woke 2.0". It's called ESG and Sweet Baby Inc.
Wow, Dakota is a genuine badass! Who knew? She just proved she has more balls than half of Hollywood, and that's the half that was born with balls! Way to go, a light shines brightest in the darkness!
I remember a line from an NPC in World of Warcraft's Mists of Pandaria expansion. He said, paraphrased, "Fear can only rule over a people so long as they lack courage. When they find their courage, they will be free". That quote really stuck with me, and now we are seeing it in action. The woke have ruled through fear, and now people have realized just what cowardly, spineless, zealots they truly are.

I'd rather say it's a cultural wave coming from US (and whoever the globalizers are) that the western you are in Europe the more affected you are. There might be elements in eastern Europe too but they are far lesser and most people and even politicians don't buy as much into it. So I would expect US to be more infected than Europe whether it's dying or not. Eventually the Europeans will wake up seeing the damage done in nearby countries. Eventually people will figure it out.
