160,000 actors have walked off the job, completely shutting down Hollywood.The actors union, SAG-AFTRA, is striking side by side with the writers union, WGA....
I find listening to the actors and the writers themselves results in far more radicalism. They are PISSED on a level that hasn’t been seen in a while. Ron Perlman threatened to burn down the CEO of Disney’s house.
My point here is that this kinda filters everything through a lens that’s sort of weak and does not get across the level of radical that these workers are at the current point in time. People’s lives are genuinely at stake and they’re taking that with the seriousness it deserves. This seems kind of muffled by comparison. It’s not nearly as noisy, angry or radical as it should be in a situation where you have workers threatening to burn down the homes of CEOs.
Seems kinda lib, really weak takes that are completely naive to what kind of radicalism is necessary to achieve anything.
Wdym? You thinking rioting or what? An actor strike is pretty bad.

Instead of filtering through a third party doing commentary it works out much better to simply display the real people on the front line and what they’re saying.
