Getting priced out of What "Culture" (Are We Great Yet? Capitalism Edition)

 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.

American Stagnation (Are We Great Yet? Smackdown Time)

My online friend the Buddha Ferret Man said the USA is headed to a possible USSR style break up due to Trump. According to History of Everything Video about the collapse of the USSR, the current situtation in the USA has several parallels.

One parallel is the USA is in the start of hard economic stagnation. According to Axios article "The American Dream's Closing Gate"

Unemployment is low so are new job postings

Divorce Rates are low, so are new marriages.

Home Values are High but new home sales are the slowest in a generation. 

The labor market is frozen and due to that so are marriages and new births. Falling Birth rates especially the white babies have the fascists in a fit. Things are great if you already have those things otherwise its FUCK YOU! 

Gen Z and younger are the ones going to get hit harder, they will be outside of their white picket fence looking in, never being able to get what these MAGA chuds are demanding that they are SUPPOSED TO HAVE.  Guess what that leads to, anger and radicalization. You thought those protests in 2020 were bad. What will happen is going to be MUCH MUCH WORSE.

There is a reason Gen Z went for Mamdami in NTC in droves He is at least offering solutions, MAGA was just nostalgia for some mythic "golden age" that appealed to boomers and some of us Gen Xers.

This is pure Yay I got mine so fuck you.

You can see here that American Eagle VP of Marketing totally was on board with pushing all this eugenics garbage like they thought it was totally cute. Now that Sweeney has gotten backlash she put out a video giving off sad white girl tears.  Joining that is MTG herself complaining how the GOP Men treat the GOP Women like shit. YA THINK?

Fascists LOVE SKINNY, and The Presidential Fitness Test being reintroduced is just another way to find more people to discriminate against have you seen most of the MAGA crowd, we are talking Bubba the Hutt here. Lawrence Taylor the NFL player who is heading his Presidential Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition is a registered sex offender, of course he is.

When the Soviet Economy totally collapsed in the 1980s, Gorbachev was PUBLICALLY HECKLED, people went up to him and said. "Go to our grocery stores, there is nothing there." That is starting to happen to wannabe dictator Trump. He has already pissed off his cult be abandoning "The Mission" with the Epstein files.

It was WWE Summerslam a few days ago and they shown a video of HHH visiting Trump at the White House for some fitness program that will include brining back that stupid Presidential Physical Fitness test.  The Crowd BOOED him hard, the WWE crowd BOOED Trump. WWE along with UFC are the two crowds that Trump is hat home with Linda McMahon was hired to dismantle the Department of Education. WWE is supposed to be his SAFE SPACE, WrestleMania 3 and 4 were held at Trump Plaza and he is inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame Celebrity Section.  That crowd is turning on him and it is giving me Romania 1989 vibes when the dictator was heckled by the people on 12/21 and then him and his wife received the Afterlife for Christmas and UFC fighter Sean Strickland is calling for armed revolution. 

Another big group that went GA GA for MAGA were farmers, how are they doing.? Not well. Newsweek reports is the worst time to be a farmer right now. Tariffs and ICE raids are wrecking their overseas markets and their workforce is vanishing. Those BIG STRONG High Testosterone MAGA ALPHA MEN don't want jobs harvesting lettuce and tomatoes. They all want to be Crypto Bros and get wealth without work.

When the data comes out saying things are bad, Trump fires them and when goes to vacation in the Great State of Denial. There is another historical parallel is see going on here its the trainwreck that was Woodstock 1999, 3 days of garbage covered hot tarmac, overpriced concessions, contaminated water and overflowing shitters. The Top leadership was getting in front of the press saying "Everything is going great" when in reality things were falling apart. Right now USA is approaching mid Saturday when the crowd started throwing garbage at the main stage.

Trump will be rambling about is "Golden Age" right up until the Armed Revolt comes to White House or Mar A Lago to drag his ass out, put a bullet in his skull and hang his ass from a McDonalds sign.

American People are getting close to Woodstock 99 Sunday Night.

Kerosene Match BOOM!!!!!

Crystal Sucking and Robot F---ing.(Are we Great Yet?)

In the days after Trump took office again, I saw something on social media. The increase of Tarot, Astrologers and Crystal Ball people all trying to forecast next Trump term. During times of crisis people look to something for guidance. Most of these predictions is on how long Trump will be in office. People want to know how much longer will this shit show last. They are not running to the GOP Evangelical Jesus for anything, fact is like the last time more are running away. 

Here is the kicker all those YouTube videos giving Tarot Predictions still make more sense and are more believable than any of the MAGA Bible Babble prophecy nonsense. Heck, a Dirt Mall, Flea Market Psychic doing a Tarot Reading with her grandson’s Pokémon deck is more reliable than any of that Jesus BibleGod Rapture Nonsense.

Ted Cruz (R-TX) then had the gall to say the recent horrific floods in Texas were caused by America taking GOD out of everything. Not because Trump and DOGE gutted the NWS alert system. This is TEXAS, or as I like to call TEX-ASS the state that started the Ten Commandments in School Classrooms to stop school shootings thing. The state that deep throats the GOP JESUS CRAP. Camp Mystic that was hit with the flash flood where 20 girls are missing is a CHRISTIAN SUMMER CAMP.

BTW Ted Cruz is off on some European Vacation.

National Pride is also in decline.  I wonder why?

I have to ask ARE WE GREAT YET? All the things that MAGA and the GOP claim needs to be RESTORED for the nation to reach greatness is in DECLINE because of Trump and his antics. The only thing that is rising is RESISTANCE. 

How is that restoration of TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES AND GENDER ROLES going?

Here is a 35 year old woman whose husband wants to get his AI girlfriend involved in his marriage. He has a wife and kids but is still screwing around with an AI bot. 

None of that 1950s crap is ever coming back, it was a post WW2 corporate media creation that was boosted by union muscle and the USA being only nation on Earth that had an intact industrial base. Even USSR had those "proper gender roles" but then after the war started to encourage women in the work force. Why? because there were not enough men to do those because of 20 million dead from the war. Not out of anything dealing with Communist Ideology. Here in the USA those ‘proper gender roles” were killed off by the same thing that wiped out Video Arcades, Drive In Theatres and Saturday Morning Cartoons. The Free Market, the same one that MAGAGOP faps their baloney too and worships like a god unto itself.

This will end with these MAGA chuds just being offered rubber skinned AI Trad-Hoe Sexbots that they will RENT and never own by the way. Corporate America that pulls the strings of people like Trump will just sell them an even more plastic computer generated fantasy of that Golden Age that only existed in old tv shows. Then we will hear on social media from Nurses, ER Doctors and actual Dick Doctors (Dicktors?) of all the nasty infections and injuries men getting from not properly cleaning them and other things.

I'm 48 No Wife No kids and a hardcore video gamer and yet one of this AI girlfriend crap appeals to me. NONE OF IT. There is parts of my life that I do not want to become just as plastic and CGI as my gaming has. I lost interest in the $300M Blockbuster Studio IP films because most of them look more fake than most of the games I play on Steam and Xbox. Then most of the AAA games coming out are steaming piles of crap (Concord, Minds Eye).

These people are selling nostalgia not solutions, when someone who does offer solutions and then wins an election like Mamdami does. The oligarchs and the press go into full meltdown. "Its SOCIALISM" well you offer fascism and subjugation to dead traditions. Everything in the USA has become so enshittified by Corporate America that any solution to this mess will look like socialism.

Racist "Independent Journalist" Chris Rufo is now looking up his SAT scores and obsessing on the racial and ethnic background boxes he checked on his college application. WHO GIVES A SHIT.

Everything is a sham now, sham jobs, sham products and return to office so their employees can have their time wasted to doing "team building" exercises that are nothing more than games they have kids do in preschool.

Trump wants the White House to host UFC fights. You got to be kidding me. No different than management mandated Office Jenga Sessions.

MAGA and their cronies are all in reality SCARED AF, because even they know the only thing that is on the rise is the resistance to their bullshit.
