Another small business of enterprising risk takers murdered by "social justice".


Some choice quotes from another source on the story:


Lovely.

We need to put a stop to anyone but white people "culturally appropriating" and using those white inventions like cars, TV, radio, etc. Probably a lot of medical discoveries too... Sorry, no penicillin for you, you're not allowed to culturally appropriate white medicine.

Penicillin is actually a Jewish invention. Enjoy your jew poison, I'm dying principled.

Guess who invented stainless steel..

Best historical movies?

Actually it's historically accurate. Big scale? Events in a very confined space.



Now here's a cool war movie, Come and See. Truly captures the brutality of WW2 Eastern Front. And surely one of the best Russian war films ever.



Did anybody mention already this? The Last Emperor. Talk about big scale...

Maybe this is why movies suck nowadays: https://medium.com/insurge-intelligence ... 433107c307

Tom Secker and Matthew Alford report on their astonishing findings from trawling through thousands of new US military and intelligence documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
The documents reveal for the first time the vast scale of US government control in Hollywood, including the ability to manipulate scripts or even prevent films too critical of the Pentagon from being made — not to mention influencing some of the most popular film franchises in recent years.
This raises new questions not only about the way censorship works in the modern entertainment industry, but also about Hollywood’s little known role as a propaganda machine for the US national security apparatus.

Well it was fun while it lasted.

Actually, that article is wrong at least in one respect:

They are making Top Gun 2.

I guess Tom Cruise is going to be flying on a F-35? That would be the politically correct aircraft. And naturally at least one of his fellow pilots is a woman.

Better be a black woman, or I'm taking to the streets.

I expect it to suck. Hollywood movies suck right now.

At least Tom Cruise is actually old enough to be a fighter pilot now
