When Trump 2.0 started I started to see a quote that came from the communists. "Fascism is Capitalism in Decay" and observing the USA at this point in time. Capitalism is in decay and it is putting everything in to decay because its pricing people out of things.
MAGA sycophants are all crying about the birth rate decline. All want to blame abortions and contraception. "Liberal: Hollywood telling the youth to hate families, babies and to embrace hook up culture. (Like they didn't to THOSE THINGS when they were that age) Last the classic blame of youth being turned away form Jesus. No fools it is the LACK OF MONEY. Jobs are not paying enough to get the stability required to do those things, you know American Stagnation.
I saw this video on YouTube, the billionaire owners are pricing out the average person from attending NBA games, they are now selling atmosphere not basketball. Cheap Seats are being torn out and replaced with exclusive suites that have bottle service and where the game is just background noise. This is not exclusive to the NBA all the pro team owners are doing this. They saw that one those suites makes them more money than 15 nose bleed tickets. Not only that tie broadcast TV market is crashing due to the rise of streaming and those services do not want to show bad performing teams from small markets. They want GLOBAL market teams.
In 25 years when fan base among average person collapses, because live games are not accessible to the average person as courtside seats as perks for corporate executives. Cheap Bleachers became hotel suites for another executive to bone mistress or a high class escort with basketball as background noise. Youth Participation is getting expensive, basketball still has a street pick up culture but has gone extinct for the rest. Now kids have to "work" a sport to chase scholarships etc., the result is 65% of these kids burn out before 13.
Same thing is going on with the WWE, ever since they merged with Zuffa, LLC the parent company of UFC and became TKO, WWE has become corporate. Ringside seats at the recent Summerslam, that a video of Trump was BOOED AT cost I kid you not $50000. The price of a SUV to go watch live wrestling. Now the ring has a PRIME LOGO and every other surface is covered in sponsorships like a NASCAR race, with sponsors like energy drinks and some Crypto crap. Its no longer pleasing the fans with entertaining wrestling show, its about keeping the shareholders happy.
2050 all the Pro Leagues and the 24/7 News Talking Heads will be bemoaning the collapse of fanbase how kids are being raised by "Gamer Dads" who are not doing their duty by upholding these "traditions". They will blame video games, probably like the birth rate problem the is a scapegoat never the root cause.
I will be there to say:
"You gutted the cheap seats and replaced them with Executive Fuck Chambers, sold courtside seats to companies to use as corporate perks, who never attend. Turned youth sports into a wallet draining scheme akin to live service games. Rising expenses led it to become a social cesspool of bad adult behavior where the kids had to "work" a sport and 65% burn out. Now you whine that Dads are not taking their kids to games. I wonder why."
Landlords are donating to the Sex Pest's campaign because they want to price everyone out of living in NYC, not much difference between him and Trump. Why the younger voters are being drawn to Mamdami, Bernie Sanders and AOC. They are not thriving in this current economic climate.
Now these Media IPs are going to have the same problems Hollywood Budgets for these franchise films are getting bigger and becoming harder to make back that money. When these movies fail to hit those box office targets the chuds come out and cry "Go Woke Go Broke" and how that film disrespected the REAL Fans. You know Real Fans who are getting close to 50. Studios like most of corporate sector has bent the knee and are pulling back on DEI. What will they blame when some blockbuster film that did not GO WOKE and catered to the REAL FANS has toys and merch rotting on the shelves at Ollies? Superman, Batman, Star Wars, and Star Trek have to be reinvented every 25 years to appeal to new generation while still not betraying the core ideals of what it is about. It is the core reason Disney Star Wars sucks, the corporate types in control know hoe Star Wars looks but do not understand why, just like AI art. They are consuming and expelling their own feces in a human centipede Ouroboros.
Maybe the reason why shows like Yellowstone that are called NON WOKE are doing well because it aligns with the values of a older age group that still watches TV? Younger ages are on Xbox or Tik Tok.When that age group gets too old to watch cowboy shows about bored Texas Housewives that pendulum will swing back. Please just cater to us aging Gen Xers and Boomers reaching the ripe old age of dead. Like the WWE, this is all about the shareholders value not making a product for audiences.
These franchises especially films that cost $300 million have to be MASS MARKET to get the largest audience possible, being against INCLUSION is self defeating. This whining is from middle age fans who cry it no longer centers around them anymore. Boo Hoo.
Fun Fact: Star Trek has been "woke" since 1966, just that back then it was written better.
Sign of the Beefcarver did that, there is one location left in 27400 Woodward Ave Royal Oak MI, if you have a craving for cafeteria style hospital food well, go there while you still can.
Remember WE LEGACY FANS ARE NOT IMMORTAL.
