Rudy pulled the same maneuver and it didn’t work out for him.

…and some say, to this day, the apple is still there.

They used big words so The Dipshit won’t understand enough to get mad at them for it.

You’re like 6 levels deep into a thread, being vague like this is completely inscrutable.

If the goal was actually stalling things, he’d have gotten more mileage not starting it at night, after all the real business had included. Could squeeze an extra half a day of RESISTANCE in there before…checks notes the Democrats help confirm yet another fascist piece of shit appointee into power.

Like I said. It was performative.

Yup, you’ve realized your plan is stupid but decided you’ll act haughty and bow out of the conversation all together to avoid admitting it.

Why would anyone make a movie if they couldn’t at least support the cost of making the giving movie to begin with? Like, try thinking one step through your own idiotic idea.

MY wording?

You were the one claiming marvel movies weren’t.

Why do so many people on the Internet default to a completely unnuanced worldview? Like there’s more than two diametrically opposed options that can be taken.

Everything done with skill is art. From Citizen Kane to the design of a candy wrapper.

By having the resources to create and distribute a product with polish.

Acting like you’re smarter than the people you’re talking to while missing the very obvious point that we’re not starting from nothing. Being pedantic about me referring to piracy by what it’s called now doesn’t change how impractical it would be to have no ownership at all of ideas. Why would anyone pay for content at all?

Your “solution” means no one can make a living doing creative things. The current system has flaws that can be fixed. “No system at all” is worse for literally everyone involved, both creators and consumers of said content.

You should stop publicly felating yourself over how unshackled your mind is, since this idea is so incredibly stupid.

Someone must have thrown a fish to a penguin there once, giving US a 100% trade deficit…

The entities with the established distribution networks will make the money, not the little guy who makes their own little story.

If I write a little seld published novel, under your system, Hollywood can just take that story and make a movie of it without my permission. How is that better? You think more people pirating will take down these mega corps? Your system is chaos that’s even worse than the current model.

That’s a great plan for letting those mega corps steal from the little guy EVEN more than they already do

Yeah, but think about the grandchildren of the CEO who bought that IP from the artist‽

Do you want them to starve have to work for a living?

Well, artificially increasing the price of all the raw naturals we use to make those things will certainly help with that goal…

Ooh boy, does my retirement account feel liberated.

You understand that they waited until after all the corrupt agency heads were confirmed, and after the trash Republican budget was passed to pull this stunt, right?

You making moronic hypotheticals claiming you know me, because I think this obvious stunt was just that and not something helpful, doesn’t make it any more helpful

He waited 3 months to do this little playacting. This is his job. I’ve been doing mine this whole time. He was phoning it in up until last night. Let’s not pretend this makes up for the Democrats’ subservience up until now.

It’s astounding how stupid the people in this thread are. Do you not realize after doing fuck all to stop the confirmation of all the billionaires in this administration and the various agencies, talking a lot, is kind of a pathetic bit of “resistance”, especially since it isn’t even blocking anything since Congress hasn’t been involved in any of the ongoing coup.

Congress wasn’t doing shit to begin with. Nothing changed.
