I am saying that the studios have the choice whom to hire/cast and you have the choice to not consume it. Again... this is pretty simple stuff. they could be better actors or not.. that is up to the studio and the audience.

this is hardly proof of anything. If I was driving somewhere and encountered protesters.. would simply take another way.

the very few "woke" things that have popped up at my kids school do not bother me. What annoys me is the focus on testing and how data driven their curriculum. As a parent, I focus on how it is done. Getting to the end result is cool but in most things, it matters how you got to that result. Second, with even the slightest raise of a kids voice, the teachers come running and go into threat assessment mode. They are not allowed to just be kids

so you did not answer.. do you have the choice to not watch it? It does not bother me to have characters in a tv show or movie be black when maybe in the book or in previous iterations, they were white. Its about the story and how well they execute it for me.. the packaging does not mean much.

In the case of media (TV, video games, music).. do you have a choice whether to watch/read/listen to it or not? Lets keep it to narrowed down to that at first.

Yeah.. from reading some on the issue.. it appears that the OP is exaggerating a bit. Most Israelis support the war.

It is my interpretation of your (and others) rejection of wokeness that you think that you can eradicate it from society altogether. My point is that if you have the first amendment and the internet, that is impossible. To get rid of it.. you would have to "unring the bell" meaning revert back to a time when the internet did not exist. as for pushing back, feel free. Above all, I am a free speech advocate. The woke and the anti-woke should be free to express their views. as for my views.. I think folks take it a bit far. I have no issues with blacks being in commercials more often now than in the past and such. However, reparations... just cant take that idea seriously.

I do not read your posts most of the time including the one that you mention. So no, there is no connection between your aforementioned post and mine. Is that clear enough?

Yes, when I make a post.. I have a distinct focus. If you have nothing to add on to this chosen focal point.. then do not respond. Its not that complex.

I am talking about society in general.. you knew this. And yet when you move the goal posts, I am supposed to follow you. Not happening. If you can't stay on topic.. do not respond to me. Its pretty easy.. give it a try.

You keep responding... I know why. Second, you assumed that I was in agreeance with them. Assumptions are for the lazy. Well.. your secret is out. Your posts rely on assumptions and if someone points them out, you start with the name-calling and such. Because surely if someone is not you.. they fit your narrowly defined boxes. Now.. where is your usual line about CNN.

By your logic.. I should be planning for an infinite number of possible, catastrophic events. I simply do not buy into paranoia. Never have and guess what? I have a great life.

I do not think that the scenarios outlined by you are realistic. I think that you are too biased and too partisan to say anything of value. A republican could say that 3^3 = 27 and you would object.

not voting for ukraine funding does not mean that they support Putin. Maybe.. just maybe it is a sign that we want to stop spending money on someone else's battle. There is no explicit proof that Republicans are in cahoots with Putin. However, when it comes to Russia, they are simply confounding. Not really sure what they gain by having this protracted war other than pride and some new territory added to their map.

You can rely on predictions and I will base my decisions on what is. Problem solved.
