    Gary is absolutely correct about RUclips's rising popularity. Before 2016, I treated YT as a how-to library if I needed a quick lesson on how to repair something. In 2024, because Hollywood is so sh*t, it is my main source of entertainment.

      I think most of us can acknowledge that a huge swathe of academics are exactly this. People who thrived in school and never went out into the world to do or build things for themselves. Of course there are academics who have gone out of the university system to do more, but if all you ever do is study theories and posit your own, there are going to be gaps in your knowledge and understanding of the world. This is about the academics who felt safe and coddled inside academia and are too lazy or scared to step outside of it's protective structure, yet dictate to the rest of society how we ought to live and think

      I fully believe in the inherent value of learning for the sake of learning, of knowledge for knowledge's sake. If all education is merely and only utilitarian - all Liberal Arts colleges bulldozed and converted to schools of business - then we actively abandon the patrimony of the West. Then we gleefully throw away the vast majority of our cultural endowment - which is the primary goal of Post-Modernism and Neo-Marxism, and BLM, etc, etc. We must be very careful if we aren't to lose all we have inherited from ancient Greece, from the Renaissance, from the Enlightenment, from two millennia of Judeo-Christian philosophy and art. My point is that we should give very careful thought before denigrating academics and their knowledge of the world.

This is how we win, uniting common sense people who don't need Hollywood, creating alternate economies, and being able to go around these fascist Hollywood elites who seek our destruction. It's great seeing like minded creators coming together to have a discussion about the horrors of Hollywood and the fascist identity politics it's pushing to destroy and divide our country.

    I'll add my two cents to Nick Freitas' question on why pop/nerd culture is important. Whether the character is Spiderman, or the Lone Ranger, they are America's modern literary mythical heroes. Just like Hercules, Jason, Robin Hood, and King Arthur have been for hundreds of years. Their stories make you think about morality, responsibility, consequence of action, and sustain cultural value. They are modern fables that assist the parent in teaching their children. A child can learn from those stories with out mom and dad having to loom over them. It lets a non judgmental friend help the young interpret life. To some it can be the only positive example of being a man, or woman, they have in their lives.

      It's a concerted effort to remove the idea that there is "right" and "wrong". Now every character has a valid reason for their actions because you don't know what they've been through.
      The movie "The Condemned" with Stone Cold Steve Austin has a great scene regarding this. Vinnie Jones is the villain and Austin catches him at gunpoint and Jones goes on this long explanation of how he was abused and how horribly he was treated during his life which made him into a monster. Austin listens patiently, then says "Sounds like you had a tough life. Good thing it's over." and shoots him.

      I've caught myself a couple of times watching my favorite channels on RUclips and thinking, "This should be a TV show," before realizing, it kind of already is. True, they don't have the budget or the slick camerawork of a "reality" TV show, but they have something "reality" TV doesn't have: heart and passion. The people running the channels I love are doing it because they love what they do and want to share that with people. And the magic of them having their own channel is they can do that without some idiot Hollywood middleman producer telling them they have to do it in a certain way.

      I'm 60 years old, and though I don't always like it, RUclips is indeed my leading source of entertainment. Television and films have gone straight to hell. The problem with wokeness is not just critical theory Cultural Revolutionary poison. It's that storytelling itself is a conservative endeavor. Small c. Even if you're going to tell a very liberal story, small l, you must tell it in a conservative fashion or it will break the fourth wall with all kinds of utopian stink of bullshit characters and plot points. It will lack all verisimilitude.
      That's what these fools don't understand. They were actually doing a pretty good job of winning the culture war just by being reasonably subtle about their messaging. Maybe this wokeness is for the good after all, because Liberalism, capital L just can't help itself. It just can't stop itself from going too far, it just can't temper itself with a little small c conservatism.
      It always brings about a reactionary impulse. In this case that makes me a reactionary back to about 1995, say plus gay civil unions. Anyone sensible agrees with me, give or take.

    If politicians want to effect change in places like the entertainment industry, they need to start having the Department of Labor looking into illegal hiring practices. ESG and DEI policies are actively being used to influence the hiring (and firing) of applicants based on race, sex, ethnicity, orientation, age, you name it. I've seen major video game studios and movie companies, where team leads and project managers openly brag on Twitter about only hiring women or African Americans for their project. In what world do exclusionary hiring practices like this pass muster with Federal Laws on anti-discriminatory workplace protections?

      Yeah actually they ended it really well. The scene with Vader recovering Ahsoka's lightsabers was really something. Perfect ending to a fantastic show. And Solo wasn't half as bad as everyone thought. The REAL killers for me were TLJ, which IMO is possibly the worst SW movie EVER made (and that's including the Holiday Special) and Obi Wan, which had a decent premise... But the makeup and special effects were just so cheap and garbage that it was utterlly unwatchable. Now full disclosure, I didn't watch RoS (b/c of how bad TLJ was) so I can't really give an opinion on it. I HAVE seen the whole 'Somehow Palpentine came back' meme, which makes 'I hate sand' look like bloody Shakespear by comparison, but I never have and never will watch it.

    From Fahrenheit 451:
    “Do you know why books such as this are so important? Because they have quality. And what does the word quality mean? To me it means texture. This book has pores. It has features. This book can go under the microscope. You’d find life under the glass, streaming past in infinite profusion. The more pores, the more truthfully recorded details of life per square inch you can get on a sheet of paper, the more ‘literary’ you are. That’s my definition anyway. Telling detail. Fresh detail. The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies. So now you see why books are hated and feared? They show the pores in the face of life.”

    Been watching Nerdrotic for a long time. Great show. You also have to watch THE CRITICAL DRINKER who is equally good.

    I've never see Gary of Nerdrotic talk so seriously and so maturely about anything in his videos until today when he explained his addiction, prison time (which I always thought was a joke whenever he brought it up podcasts and other vids), drug abuse, and a lot of other horrible things. Good on ya my man. Keep on fighting the good fight.
