It's sad the Bond franchise was in such dire straits during Brosnan's tenure, he was quite good. His best Bond movies are not actual Bond movies.

James Bond has had two good movies in the past 25 years, both soft reboots of the franchise and both were written and directed by the same guy Basically I'm saying just get Martin Campbell to direct every bond movie

I wonder if he'll just be fired, or sent to Alaska.

Where do you think the left came from in the first place? Rolling back protections and privileges for unions sucks, but when you say the left has never been weaker, all you're saying is you don't know your labor history unions used to be outright illegal. the government used to be barred from regulating the employment relationship even if it wanted to. employers used to be able to kick people out of their loving homes, pay them "money" that could only be used in a single store controlled by the company, and essentially charge people to work for them. suspected labor organizers were threatened or beaten, and labor actions were inevitably shot up first by the owner's private army and then by the National Guard, which inevitably sided with the employer. it was loving neo-feudalism

I'd be genuinely interested in reading serious material what caused leftist apathy/political abandonment. I expect it's complex and multi-faceted, involving a bunch of historical points like MLK's assassination, Vietnam, McGovern's defeat, Reagan/Second Cold War/Baby Boomer economy, Clinton/Tech Bubble/GenX economy, but is there a well-developed thesis about the interweaving of these (and/or probably other) things to drive leftist out leftist participation? Or do I just need to read Chomsky?

Rolling back protections and privileges for unions sucks, but when you say the left has never been weaker, all you're saying is you don't know your labor history And yet union enrollment numbers and all around leftist organization enrollment are significantly lower and the power of capital is significantly more entrenched than previously, while operating basically virtually unopposed. The state and capitalist class use soft power now in part because they are restrained from the minor victories achieved but also because they don't have to use hard power most of the time as there is effectively zero meaningful resistance. Should they feel threatened I absolutely guarantee hard power will make a swift come back. Your argument doesn't make a terrible amount of sense, to be honest. You are describing existing conditions, not the degree of organization and mobilization (strength). The left is indeed significantly weaker in real terms than in the past. What is your explanation for why the left vanished?

Decades of hard power plus post cold war triumphalism really does add up to a lot. Also it's not like the feds stick to soft power when there's even a mild risk of meaningful agitation.
