Why Corporations Abandoned Profits for Propaganda

How the Sharing Economy Is Creating a World of Forced Conformity

The cinematic apocalypse has finally arrived, and the self-proclaimed film aficionados on Youtube are left scratching their heads, bewildered by the demise of the movie theater industry. They gather around the digital campfire, swapping half-baked theories and simplistic economic platitudes, desperate to explain their latest box office flops.

As they rummage through their mental Rolodex of excuses, they inevitably land on the COVID-19 pandemic, positing that it somehow conditioned audiences to prefer the comfort of streaming services. They also bemoan the frustrations of the theater-going experience, citing the inconsiderate chatterboxes who dare to disrupt their cinematic reverie.

But, of course, these are just symptoms of a far more insidious disease. The real elephant in the room, the one they dare not speak its name, is the culture war.

It's almost as if they're willfully oblivious to the fact that the movie industry has been hijacked by ideologues peddling a toxic brand of identity politics, churning out soulless, agenda-driven drivel that insults the intelligence of audiences worldwide.

The notion that recent big budgeted flops were somehow a victim of circumstance, rather than calculated attempts to foist a divisive, racist narrative on an unsuspecting public, is nothing short of laughable. The fact that they can't see the forest for the trees, that they're more concerned with preserving their own woke marshmallow world than confronting the elephant in the room, is a damning indictment of their critical faculties.

The willful ignorance of these film critics reminds us that the culture war is a reality that many are desperate to ignore. By dismissing the notion that people are boycotting Hollywood on principle, they're essentially sticking their heads in the sand, pretending that the seismic shifts in the cultural landscape aren't happening. It's a staggering display of cognitive dissonance, a refusal to acknowledge the very real and very deliberate attempts to reshape the cultural narrative.

And yet, this obliviousness is not unique to these film critics. There are countless individuals who choose to remain blissfully unaware of the culture war, opting instead for a comfortable, apolitical existence. They see themselves as above the fray, superior to those who dare to engage with the messy, complicated world of politics and social issues. But this is nothing more than a coping mechanism, a way to avoid confronting the uncomfortable truth that our civilization is indeed breaking apart at the seams.

The culture war is not some fringe phenomenon, a sideshow to the main event. It is the main event. It is the deliberate, systematic attempt to dismantle the very fabric of our society, to replace traditional values and norms with a radical, ideologically-driven agenda. And everyone, regardless of their political leanings or level of engagement, will be affected by the consequences of this war.

The chaos that's unfolding is not random; it's a carefully orchestrated campaign to reshape the cultural landscape in the image of the radical “left.” To ignore this reality is to invite disaster, to sleepwalk into a future that's being deliberately engineered to be hostile to traditional values and freedoms.

The world of film, often dismissed as a trivial, is in fact a fascinating case study in cultural conflict. It's a window into the ideological underpinnings of our society, a reflection of the values and narratives that shape our collective consciousness. And what's more, it's a powerful tool for establishment propaganda, a means of disseminating carefully crafted messages to a captive audience.

The catastrophic failure of Disney's attempts to inject woke cultism into the Star Wars franchise is a prime example of this phenomenon. The Acolyte is a laughable disaster, a mess of morally relative lesbian witches in space that's been universally panned by audiences.

And while I have no issue with a lesbian main character in and of itself, the problem arises when the sole purpose of including such a character is to pander to a specific agenda. This agenda has only served to create a toxic environment where I, as a lesbian myself, feel increasingly hesitant to even remotely mention that I have no interest in men.

The constant bombardment of forced representation and virtue signaling has led to a society that's growingly annoyed and hostile, making it a spectacle that's not only insulting to me, but also damaging to the very group of people it's supposed to represent.

Instead of acknowledging their own creative bankruptcy, Disney and the media are quick to shift the blame onto the consumers themselves. It's not that the product is bad, you see; it's that you, the audience, are somehow flawed for not wanting to watch it.

This is the classic playbook of the propagandist: when the message falls flat, blame the messenger. When the product fails to resonate, blame the consumer for not being enlightened enough to appreciate it. It's a stunning display of elitist condescension, a patronizing attitude that assumes the audience is too stupid to know what's good for them.

Newsflash! If people don't want to watch your racist, DEI-infused drivel, it's not because they're bigots or philistines; it's because your product is garbage! But of course, that's a truth that Disney and the media are desperate to avoid, because it would require them to confront the abyssal failure of their own ideological agenda.

The communistic erasure of consumer choice is a phenomenon that has been unfolding before our very eyes, as major corporations have embarked on a relentless crusade to impose far-left extremism on the Western world.

The past few years have seen a tidal wave of woke warfare, with companies like Bud Light sacrificing their customer base on the altar of ideological purity. The sheer audacity of this corporate insurgency is staggering, as they seek to dictate what we think, what we believe, and what we value.

The annual spectacle of “Pride Month” is a case in point. This is not a grassroots movement, but a carefully orchestrated campaign by international corporations and non-profit organizations to impose their ideology on the masses. The LGB community, having already secured equal rights under the law, is now being exploited as a Trojan horse to push a radical agenda that aims to dismantle traditional values and norms.

This agenda seeks to supplant them with a trans ideology rooted in pseudoscience, which has become a gathering place for individuals seeking to escape the realities of their own failed existences. The proliferation of this ideology has led to the creation of a lucrative industry, where individuals can accumulate student loand debt in pursuit of a degree that enables them to expound on the fabricated differences between 700 non-existent genders.

This is a sickening example of how a once legitimate movement that had already been accepted by society has been hijacked by a fringe ideology that prioritizes the indulgence of perverted fantasy and giving refuge and paying court to sick individuals, tarnishing the reputation of everyone else.

The same can be said of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives, which are nothing more than a corporate attempt to inject woke politics into every aspect of our lives. These initiatives are not about promoting genuine diversity or inclusivity, but about creating a culture of ideological conformity, where dissent is not tolerated and free speech is curtailed.

The most insidious aspect of this corporate insurgency is the way it seeks to dictate morality to the public. Companies are now positioning themselves as the arbiters of our social norms, telling us what is acceptable and what is not.

They are creating a culture of moral blackmail, where those who refuse to conform to their ideology are shamed, ostracized, and punished. This is not the free market at work; this is corporate totalitarianism, where the interests of the few are imposed on the many.

The question is, who gave these corporations the right to dictate our values and morals? Who appointed them as the guardians of our social norms? The answer, of course, is no one. They have simply assumed this role, using their vast resources and influence to impose their ideology on the world.

It's time to push back against this corporate insurgency and reclaim our right to think, believe, and value what we choose.

The corporate oligarchy has indeed undergone a profound transformation, one that has turned the traditional business-consumer relationship on its head. Gone are the days when companies catered to the needs and desires of their customers, striving to create products that would delight and satisfy them.

Today, corporations have adopted a paternalistic and authoritarian approach, treating consumers as indentured servants who must be told what to think, feel, and believe.

This is a manifestation of the socialist construct that underlies the corporate world. No longer content to simply manipulate consumers through clever marketing, corporations now seek to dictate their values, their politics, and their very identity. The customer is no longer king; the corporation is the supreme arbiter of what is acceptable and what is not.

The consequences of this shift are glaring. When consumers dare to push back against the woke ideology or DEI messaging that corporations are so fond of, they are met with a vicious backlash.

The company, aided and abetted by the establishment media, unleashes a torrent of abuse and vitriol, labeling the dissenting customers as racists, bigots, misogynists, or fascists. The message is clear: conform to our ideology, or be cast out into the wilderness.

And when the inevitable happens, and the corporation's products fail to resonate with consumers, who do they blame? Not themselves, of course. No, they blame the “bigots and racists” who dared to resist their ideological agenda. This is a classic case of psychological projection, where the corporation's own failures are attributed to the very people they are trying to control.

The irony is that corporations are still trying to peddle the myth that they are champions of free market capitalism, when in reality they are nothing more than instruments of social control.

They are the vanguard of a new form of totalitarianism, one that seeks to regulate every aspect of our lives, from what we think to what we buy. And if we don't comply, we will be punished, ostracized, and demonized.

The real reason why corporations seem to have abandoned their traditional pursuit of profits and customer satisfaction is a question that has been puzzling many observers. While it's true that these companies may be self-destructing, there are alternative theories that suggest a more sinister and deliberate strategy at play.

Theory 1 proposes that the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) framework, which was initially touted as a tool for promoting sustainable and responsible business practices, may have been a beta test for a more comprehensive and coercive system. What if the ultimate goal is to create a communist-style system where governments and central banks become the primary source of funding for ESG-compliant companies? In this scenario, corporations that toe the line on progressive politics would be rewarded with perpetual bailouts, while those that don't would be allowed to collapse.

Theory 2 suggests that corporate leaders may have been informed that the system is on the verge of collapse, and that profits no longer matter. If the economy is indeed heading towards a Great Depression-like destabilization, then it's possible that CEOs have abandoned their traditional mandate to pursue profits and have instead become propaganda peddlers. This would explain why they seem to be more focused on promoting woke ideology than on creating products that consumers actually want.

Theory 3 proposes that the concept of the customer as an indentured servant to the corporation is a stepping stone towards a more Orwellian future. The idea of the “Sharing Economy” promoted by the World Economic Forum, where government provides everything and individuals own nothing, may be the ultimate goal. In this scenario, the public would be forced to settle for whatever products and services they are given, without any choice or autonomy. The current trend of shaming consumers into accepting whatever products they are given may be a way of acclimating the populace to this kind of culture.

All three theories suggest that the current behavior of corporations is not just a result of incompetence or short-sightedness, but rather a deliberate strategy to create a new kind of economic and social order. One that is characterized by a lack of choice, a lack of autonomy, and a complete dependence on the state.

The end game is a bleak one, where the lines between corporate and government power are blurred, and the individual is reduced to a mere serf, forced to accept whatever is given to them without question or complaint. The Sharing Economy, with its promise of convenience and efficiency, is actually a Trojan horse for a system of control and oppression.

The culture war is not just about abstract ideas or ideologies; it's about the very fabric of our society. It's about whether we want to live in a world where individuals are free to make their own choices, or one where the state and corporations dictate every aspect of our lives.

The woke cult, with its emphasis on groupthink and conformity, is a key component of this dystopian system. It's a way of conditioning people to accept the unacceptable, to surrender their individuality and autonomy to the collective. And those who resist, who refuse to conform, are labeled as enemies of the state.

But there are still those who see through this charade, who recognize the evil that is being perpetrated in the name of progress and social justice. They are the ones who are fighting back, who are boycotting the woke cult and refusing to participate in the Sharing Economy. They are the ones who are holding on to their freedom, their individuality, and their humanity.

The skeptics, who remain ignorant of this war, may think that it doesn't affect them, that they are above the fray. But they are wrong. This war is about the very future of our society, and everyone will be affected by its outcome.
