Hollywood is self-immolating itself into obsolescence. Good riddance. We’ve already got a parallel society of storytellers and artists of integrity. We don’t need or want those propagandizing whores.
There's no alternative to a parallel society, under the circumstances, but I wonder about twenty years from now. Do we end up with firmly established parallel societies over the long term, or do the current and increasingly dismal "mainstream" cultural industries collapse and get rebuilt? There are a lot of people in Hollywood making a lot of money to make pure shit – can that possibly go on?
I honestly don’t know how they’re still making money given how irrelevant they are and how transparent the propaganda is. It does seem China is their primary market now.
