Nothing. It is staggering how little liberals care about anything except their precious authorities and institutions. Everything else is fodder.

the 100million dollars for josh whedon to reshoot 10 scenes of people talking to add in jokes was cool

the best part of the RLM review was going over all these scenes and trying to guess how much money each joke cost. it really makes you realize how stupid of an industry hollywood is.

idk what the actual price tag value of it would be but I know would could have gotten Flint at least part of the way to having working water infrastructure again for the cost of cgi-ing out henry cavill's mustache.

No they care a lot about everything in their own life being comfortable and predictable. Try building an apartment building in a SFZ in a deep blue area of a blue city and see what happens. Any amount of human misery and fascism is worth preserving what lies within their line of sight.

the best take I read on the whole thing was in the Irish Times:

https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/tv-radio-web/harry-and-meghan-the-union-of-two-great-houses-the-windsors-and-the-celebrities-is-complete-1.4504502 posted:

Harry and Meghan: The union of two great houses, the Windsors and the Celebrities, is complete

Having a monarchy next door is a little like having a neighbour who�s really into clowns and has daubed their house with clown murals, displays clown dolls in each window and has an insatiable desire to hear about and discuss clown-related news stories. More specifically, for the Irish, it�s like having a neighbour who�s really into clowns and, also, your grandfather was murdered by a clown.

Beyond this, it�s the stuff of children�s stories. Having a queen as head of state is like having a pirate or a mermaid or Ewok as head of state. What�s the logic? Bees have queens, but the queen bee lays all of the eggs in the hive. The queen of the Britons has laid just four British eggs, and one of those is the sweatless creep Prince Andrew, so it�s hardly deserving of applause.

The contemporary royals have no real power. They serve entirely to enshrine classism in the British nonconstitution. They live in high luxury and low autonomy, cosplaying as their ancestors, and are the subject of constant psychosocial projection from people mourning the loss of empire. They�re basically a Rorschach test that the tabloids hold up in order to gauge what level of hysterical batshittery their readers are capable of at any moment in time.

The most recent internecine struggle is between the royal family and a newly disentangled Prince Harry and his wife, the former actor Meghan Markle. Traditionally, us peasants would be nervously picking a side and retrieving our pikes from the thatch. Luckily, these days the pitched battles happen in television interviews.

[....]

Over the course of the interview Harry and Meghan, who are charming, clever and good at being celebrities, make the monarchy look like an archaic and endemically racist institution that has no place in the modern world. Well duh. And despite all the outrage you might read in the UK tabloids right now, they also did something else that renders everything else irrelevant: they officially launched themselves in the United States.

Harry revealed their next child�s gender � it�s a girl � in this interview, but Harry and Meghan are also pregnant with a nascent media empire and lucrative Spotify and Netflix contracts. Of course, their critics accuse them of being money-hungry careerists for this, but that�s hilarious coming from sycophants to hereditary tax-suckling grifters. Arranging a Netflix deal that the couple actually have to work for is pretty benign royal behaviour when you compare it with conquest and general parasitism.

Harry and Meghan are ultimately going to win. Despite the tabloid frenzy, this was never the story of an ungrateful pauper being elevated by the monarchy. This was about the potential union of two great houses, the Windsors and Californian Celebrity. Only one of those things has a future, and it�s the one with the Netflix deal.

this started off as a way of being inflammatory in text without offending anyone and progressed until it was a struggle to say something was bad in any way without potentially upsetting anyone on earth in any way

I have no doubt the British Royalty is racist as hell but I'm also dubious that young Harry who wore a nazi costume to a colonizers themed party is much better than the rest of his family somehow and isn't just whitewashing himself.

hello *kevin*, you have called the betterup mental health hotline. your betterup productivity rating of 23% above average indicates you have much to live for. killing yourself would mean you could not improve on your 44% below average betterup work-life balance metric. have a nice day.
