You don't need to cancel your Netflix. I think the point I wanted to make was it is almost unavoidable to enrich the people who control the dollars that party lives and breathes on. Unless Elon opens a movie studio and starts producing content, we're going to get a lot more of the stuff we all can't stand with ideology shoved into it. It's social engineering. The folks who work out here who try to exclude that kind of stuff then get notes from execs to include it. I know Ben Shapiro has started some kind of a studio from Sasha's posts, but it hasn't scaled big enough yet.

Elon is really the one who can flip this and get Hollywood back to the good old days when stories made people dream instead of cringe. He just has to decide to do it. So much on that guy's plate already.

Well I certainly can avoid seeing more and more of the context that I don’t want. It’s a choice. It’s possible to live without. I’ve been doing that the past few years and seeing less and less. My husband and I are currently watching a show from the early 90s that actually is quite good. We don’t have much crap shoved in our faces. Just the beginnings because it started back then, but it’s not overly in our faces. Actually some of the characters portrayed are more private and reasonable like they are in real life. I can handle that. There’s lots to entertain us. Even old movies and shows still are very entertaining.

Where are the other Elons in this world so he doesn’t have to do it ALL?? They need to wake up.
