      That's what scares me. Every single one of us has a violent screaming chimpanzee hidden deep in the recesses of our brains. And if you know anything about primates, you know how *_utterly pants-browningly terrifying_* they are. We go our entire lives trying to keep it caged and relatively calm and quiet.
      *_But these people..._* their every word, thought, and action seems designed to agitate our inner ape on the purest level. I'm not just talking about anger here, I'm talking about going against millions of years of hardwired evolutionary psychology. Absolutely everything they do is fundamentally *_WRONG_* to the point that it causes mental anguish in onlookers just trying to process it. And every time I see or hear about stuff like this my chimp starts screaming and throwing himself against the bars. He's nearly broken through the bars now, and I shudder to think of what he might do if and when he gets out.
      *I wish I was joking about this.* I don't think these quislings and iconoclasts realize what they're messing with. I have seen psychotic breaks before, *and they are terrifying to behold.* Knowing what any random _Homo sapiens_ is capable of when pushed too far only deepens the horror. And given what happened in Uvalde, it feels more and more like this is being _deliberately orchestrated en mass._ If so, whatever the guilty parties are planning is profoundly stupid. You know the saying "Hell hath no wrath like a woman scorned?" Well, that's got nothing on the raw brutality of a man who wants to be left alone pushed over the edge. How much more than that one for whom all restraint is gone, lost in the bloody fugue state of "return to monke?"
      To follow from the logic of Japanese mytho-history, they are causing the level of hate and resentment that spawn _onryou._ And I don't mean weaksauce like _Ringu_ or _The Grudge;_ I'm talking _tatarigami_ level disasters, closer to the Plagues of Egypt than a standard haunting. The kinds that threaten the lives of the Imperial family directly. That causes former rivals, court officials, and royal heirs to drop like flies. That bring famines, epidemics, tsunamis, floods, fires, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc. That torment the guilty party with illusions until they lash out and kill their entire families. That intercepts the decapitating stroke with their teeth, bites down on the blade of the sword til it breaks, and even when the executioner finishes the job with another blade, their head _still won't let go of the broken blade in their teeth._ That daily manifests as a sparrow that _eats all the food in the palace before anyone can get a bite in._ That require being promoted to the rank of _kami_ (gods) in order to quell their fury. That, even centuries later, must be kowtowed to by the Japanese government and media lest people start dying under mysterious circumstances _if someone so much as looks at their shrines funny._ That spook American forces occupying their shrines so bad (and with good reason!) _that they pack up and relocate rather than press their luck further._ (And yes, these are all based on actual historical figures who allegedly became wrath incarnate after death.)
      Something has got to give. And even if things like onryou aren't actually real, humans are easily capable of that kind of unstoppable anger. If the last decade it has taught me anything, it is (ironically enough) depths of incandescent hatred and resentment I never dreamed myself capable of before. I am by no means a violent person, but daily I am subjected to treason, iconoclasm, perversity, and insult which in a sane world would be punished *_somehow._* Every fiber of my being cries out in agony, because it feels like human universals/fundamental laws of nature are being violated, all as the criminals responsible mock our collective pain and gloatingly ask "Whatcha gonna do about it?" knowing they've rigged the game entirely in their favor. Worse, (for them _and_ me) *not only do many of these offenses warrant the death penalty both by the letter of the law and my humble opinion, all of them have accrued so much interest on their manifold sins that they all crossed that Rubicon a long time ago.* I am profoundly glad I do not have access to weapons, because I seriously wonder if I have sufficient restraint _not_ to do something drastic about these reprobates if the opportunity presented itself to me.
      I know I'm not the only person who feels this way. The fact it has been brewing en masse (and not without good reason) is cause for serious concern. I fear one day our enemies will finally push someone too far, it will start a cascade effect, and by the time the rage subsides *we will no longer be able to properly call ourselves men.*
      These are the fears that keep me up at night. God save us all.

      See my previous post. While what you're suggesting seems increasingly necessary and inevitable, *_it is by no means something to be done lightly,_* else we could end up becoming bigger demons than even our enemies in the process. Furthermore, they have the system so rigged against us it would take *_overwhelming numbers_* to have a meaningful chance at victory.
      That also presupposes, as alluded to before, that anyone who goes down that route will have sufficient restraint left to stop once victory is achieved. I've already laid out how mad they've made me, _and I certainly don't trust myself_ to be strong enough to subdue my inner chimp once the rampage starts. Attempting to reign in roving bands of Khorne berserkers is going to be a logistical nightmare, both for those trying to restore order and the newborn psychotics themselves.

    As eastern european, I can say that we see it. This is the reason why Orban did win in Hungary, Pis in Poland, and ODS (conservatives) in Czech republic. We see how west is not a miraculous place that we saw it during cold war. That they are just... rich. It is the only thing that is better in them, Germany, France, Nordic countries, and even small Benelux countries looks down upon, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Czechia ect. People in western countries blame all bad crime, and low wages on Poles, Romanians, and Hungarians because we are white and chistians, and they have no courage to say the same things about their "colorful minorities". We see all that is happening about "Herzlig willcomen", this is why Poland did not accept any "refugees" in 2015/16, and it was important thing in elections that brought PIS to rule. The same did come to mind all easter europeans, for any of us former eastern block people it was for years very hard to go to west, get job even the worst payed. Many countries like Germany protecter their job market by refusing to open for eastern countries until 2011, 7 years after we did join EU. Just to see few years later, that they on only let people form far away in, but praise them. Hide all their "dimeanors", like in Cologne in new year of 2016 ect.

    For me it all goes back to 2008 and the worst story ever written in comics, One More Day, in which Spider-Man sacrifices his marriage to Mary Jane in return for saving his aunt's life. Christopher Booker in 'The Seven Basic Plots' talks about the 'puer aeturnus', a negative aspect of the male archetype where a man does not grow up to embrace responsibility but stays like a teenager perpetually, and I feel this is what we see happen to Spider-Man in this story. In another way it is the Refusal of the Call in the Hero's Journey, a refusal to partake in the Journey of adulthood; symbolically, it is the refusal of the comic industry to develop their characters, to keep churning out the same stories that they had done for the previous 50 years. Gramsci said that when change cannot come you get 'morbid symptoms' and thats what we are seeing happening in the comic industry now - it's not dead but it's not alive either, it's stuck somewhere inbetween getting more and more rotten and decrepid.

One of the problems caused by people thinking Occam's razor and Hanlon's razor are concrete laws of physics and not just ideas/theories of pie in the sky philosophers, which have the side effect of causing people to avoid seeing obviously evil actions of the powerful as malice.

    I think traditional comics won't survive via the mainstream companies (and/or retail), but perhaps through niche models like comicsgate and other outlets (substack/patreon type models where strong enough individual creators/personalities generate digital and physical products). If comics survive this woke and low-quality era (via this niche channel), they may find a small but passionate following in much the way physical Vinyl records do in music. There, for the most part, only compelling artists and/or quality works sell, thriving on the nostalgia or old-school “club” sensibilities of the hobby and medium. A sustainable niche, but also a very limited and exclusive niche.

    You've defined the present day culture war. On one side, the progressives convinced having found the Truth (note the capital T) made of man made ideas. On the other side, (I suppose) we are convinced that the Truth (same capital T but a quite different thing) can be reached and discovered. Each of us pursuing that idea and acting upon it is within the definition of hero.
    In my opinion, it doesn't have to be a fantastic building or rebuilding of our relation with reality to be heroic. It needs to be any of us establishing a contact somewhere and somehow with the thing outside our minds that is reality.
    That thing is way bigger than our minds. It is not under our control. It not our creation. It is what it is.
    It is to be discovered, encountered, loved and even being loved by it. It is hard and constant work without any end in sight.
    Each time I make a step in its direction it tells me in its way where the next step is.
    Ironically, we are all in the idea that Truth or Truth is to be our ruler. In the progressive one, it means submitting to the creators of their Truth regardless of my feelings about it. In mine, it means submitting to anything I meet because I love it and I love myself. even hope meeting other humans having met that same truth and establish a bound, a common understanding on that common ground.
    To the progressives, what I wrote is perfectly meaningless, irrational, arbitrary and oppressive. Meaningless because it is beyond what we humans can create. Irrational because it entails things beyond human reasoning. Arbitrary because what I meet can not be predicted or it is a known truth if not a figment of my imagination. Oppressive because it does not submit to the human mind, the creators of the progressive truth. It does not fit the narrative.
    They do have narratives we are expected to submit. We do have stories we can relate to. We can have humor because surprises are expected. They can’t. It would be like making fun with 1 + 1 = 2. Btw, it is considered racist. Joking about is is hard and badly eyed because it would be making jokes from an expression of racism.

    Nature evolves in two ways - immortality, or replication. But because life is often fragile, replication is the only viable way. Older comics that stand the test of time become immortalized by the fans, and hard to get copies increase in value. Trade paperbacks immortalize entire runs. Manga does this also - Issue 1 is often restocked as its the springboard for everything. Anything worth immortalizing is worth replication.
    Woke comics however, are oddly enough, not quite either. Almost no woke comics are immortalized, and the only replication they do is appropriating mantles and storylines and attempting to reinvoke nostalgia. I almost pity SJW writers, because the only way of thinking they are allowed is post-modernist criticism, whilst never being allowed to appreciate what makes comics engaging to the average person or the old school fan.

    Great video, but I think you need to be a little clearer on the connection between the business model and political. Some might say, "yeah, but if they keep losing money and customers, then the company will die." Normally this would be true, but that assumes that the customer is the person buying the product or service, but that isn't necessarily true. While a portion of that money does come from the consumer, the companies see that revenue as secondary to the true revenue...1) government action in the form of A) regulations preventing competition, B) subsidies based on helping victim groups, C) grant money (endowment for the arts...), D) bailouts when secondary revenue dries up AND 2) Corporate political circles (primarily ESG scores at the moment) that peddle influence or create essential cartel-style stonewalling/gifting. Corporate bundling also can lend a hand: consider CNN, it is propped up not by viewership so much as the fact that they get a cut of every cent spent on cable TV packages (you pay for CNN even if you do not watch it).
    Politicians/activists ARE their target consumer...but not the source of revenue...your tax dollars or purchase of seemingly unrelated products (indirect money) are the primary drivers. They don't need you to buy things directly because you will pay for it regardless.

Comicbooks are sold to Libraries, Movies and Series to Streaming Services which already have their subscriber base etc.. And the advertisement to sell the entertainment products to the new Customers are the Awards and Media Reports. Finally, the Industry is still there, but with new players.

I didn't understand about this Woke stuff until around 2017, but back in 2014, it opened my eyes that who ever owns the rights can alter the story in anyway they want.
    fact in the comics since the 80's,
    countless alternate universes have them as his children,
    Marvel had already done the mystery story of whom their father was when it was questioned that the Whizzer could have been their father,
    and the worst part, the story plot in the 2014 Axis storyline that confirmed that Magneto wasn't their father was because Scarlet Witch casted a spell that would kill those with shared blood with her, that killed her brother, and didn't do anything to Magneto, which means that decades of story telling could have been undone by something as simple as a blood/paternity test which considering that they're mutants as in they have powers based on DNA.

The second is the same reason why the 80s and 90s were so full of gorgeous women: people tend to write what they're attracted to, and there's no shortage of child predators in modern media.

      That assumes Sleipner is an ordinary eight-legged horse. All things being equal, unicorn or rhino, it'd beat a horse.
      But Odin's horse? That's an eight-legged horse of a different color.

    Love your channel. Hope your channel grows bigger and bigger. Keep up the good work. Comics are not dead. The younger kids are just buying Manga LOL I would like you to look up the stats on the sales of graphic novels in the west made by japanese artists/authors. Compare these to the american ones to show where all the money is flowing and how it's causing the SJW to attack the fans of manga and anime and even attempt to censor what the characters say in localised versions of the animation and manga. Clownfish TV has done video on the comic sales. Interestingly Todd Mcfarlane Spawn comic has had resurgence again with King Spawn. So people are thirsty for that 90s-era stuff.

    One thing I've always been confused about is how you uplift the 80s and 90s comics, but also seem to uplift the classical American definition of a hero (which is, itself, different from the classical European definition of a hero, which is, itself, different from the classical Greek definition of a hero). The 80s and 90s comics do not match the classical definition of a hero... they've got their own form of "hero", and that form itself helped lead into the modern definition of "hero", which is to say "self-actualization as heroism". The idea of "hero" has changed quite a lot over time, and the "self-sacrifice as heroism" version only comes about after the teachings of Jesus reach popular fiction in Europe, which is at least several hundred years after Jesus himself. The cultural "hero" before then was almost always a figure that was either physically strong (such as a warrior) or socially powerful (such as a king)... or both (such as a general). What do you say about this discrepancy?

      I disagree, I think we still have the same idea of hero in the 80s as we did before but the heroes are just more human and more flawed than they were before. Look at the Watchmen, they are still working on behalf of society, even Ozymandias (although we would not agree with his reasoning). In the 90s there is more emphasis on the anti-hero but this was just a continuation of making the hero more human - the anti-hero still has a code of ethics, even though it is largely their own, they aren't meant to be seen as villains. Similarly certain villains were brought closer to being heroes (eg Magneto) so we can see this as a move away from the '3 color comics' ideals of 50s Superman and 'cowboys and indians' to telling more realistic, human stories - just a progression of what happened in the 80s.

      Hmmm... by classical you must mean Greco-Roman correct? in that sense a definition of hero aligned with the Hellenic view would fit the one that describes the strong and socially powerful individual. Since you're bringing Our Blessed Lord into the conversation, you got me thinking over this question and I immediately thought about the Hellenic view and the Hebrew view of reality, and their coming together in marriage of Athens & Jerusalem in the Western/Church worldview. How hero came to mean "self-made man" is an interesting concept and one that still holds much from the Christian definition of hero, modernism with its origins in the protestant reformation that later led to enlightenment thought along with cartesian dualism (which practically divorced the material from the metaphysical), later coming to a head during the French revolution and culminating with this weird and current definition of hero as practically the stronger of two villains (just look at how ridiculous most of the 'heroic' figures of both world wars are). I think this article might be relevant to this question:

      While the figures that display the hero certainly changed, the values they incorporate stay the same. They are Sacrifice, Determination, Loyalty, Courage, Dedication, Compassion, Valor, Selfless, Conviction, Gallantry, Perseverance, Fortitude, Bravery, and of course, they have flaws.
      Different times put emphasis on different traits, depending on the context (King or General for example), but all heroes through all ages exhibit those traits in one way or another, otherwise, they would not be considered a hero. So, the idea of a hero hasn't changed at all. Some cultures put more weight on certain traits than others and if one does not know what the archetype of a hero encompasses, those changes might give the impression that the definition of a hero changed.

      @@SimonJohnOwen That's a good reply. I have always thought that the idea of anti-hero is just a good guy who pretends he is bad because psychologically he couldn't handle the loss of a loved one which drove them to madness and seek out vengeance for a release of their anger. Batman is this way, Max from the Mad Max movies, The Punisher etc Anti-heroes are just good guys that are coping with loss and so turned dark. Dark doesn't necessarily mean evil. Soldier who came back from wars are changed people and no longer act the same once they have witnessed horrors which they choose to not talk about. They lost their innocence and it changed and affects them. That is what antiheroes are like because they see the dark side of things and don't want to turn bad but realise that you don't have the luxury of being goodie two shoes in all cicumstances. Even Star Wars which the SJW say is merely a kids movie, tackles this concept where Luke Skywalker in classic hero fashion rescues his friends only to walk into a trap when he would have been better off finishing his training as his Master Yoda told him. This selfless sacrifice in short term was a set back in the long term. The "good guys" want Luke to train harder to be able to kill his own Dad in order to save the galaxy from a dictatorship but the good side of Luke questions whether being a pawn for two old men is in fact serving the galaxy's best interests rather than just thinking for yourself and freeing his own dad of mind control so there doesn't need to be a fight to the death between the two. (which will inevitably result in loss) It's complex stuff and that is why people like Star Wars because it is realistic in how it presents tough choice. What you see in Star Wars are two heroes (Darth Vader being traditional hero in his young days vs Luke who is the less-corrupted hero) confronting each other. Darth Vader is not 100% evil because he is an antihero due to his bad luck and loss of family and being used as a pawn by old men to right wrongs but without thought to what he wants. Eventually he snaps and becomes a selfish a-hole. Another example is Walter White in Breaking Bad who is made fun of as the nerdy guy until he realises his potential and value and stops beiong a doormat to his bossy wife. It leads to him gaining more power and status but at the cost of his soul. He is a antihero because he experienced no respect being a teacher that earns so little money that he can't afford to pay for his cancer treatment. He was destined to snap like Darth Vader, Batman, Max Rockatansky. This is realistic and not kid's only entertainment as the SJW wants people to believe. The antihero is a hero who recognises the straight path wasn't possible to keep 100% of the time and that is why we like them more than Superman since we can never relate to a perfect person.

    I gave up on comics as a reader when Marvel brought Jean Grey back from the grave. basically ruining the best storyline comics ever had. But even in probably the greatest comic book title, there were seeds planted for alphabet agenda in that book (Mutants = Alphabet people).Interesting how alphabet people often have multi-colored hair like in comic books, is it not? Propaganda to shape society for the future between the comic books, cartoons and movies? Comic movies in particular have been shoved down our throats to the point where I can't even watch them anymore. They are re-told stories, which amounts to nothing more than brainwashing with layers of wokeness.
    As far as the unhealthy industry goes, I don't know how anyone could read the same old crap for basically the last 30 years. There's nothing new or original. How many new characters have even been created with staying power? It's really sad from a creative stand point. The Marvel and DC creators stole archetype characters from pulps (Doc Savage, the Shadow, The Spider etc.). without being sued. They call it "inspiration" or a homage. Try that today and see what happens. Those same companies that never had any real ideas of their own, couldn't come up with new characters or ideas that had any traction since the 1980's.. Fanboys have been clinging onto characters that have run their course. It's not the 1980's any longer. The woke agenda in your face, is icing on the cake. It is all played out. One could even argue that all entertainment is all played out, as everything seems to have been done; "there's nothing new under the sun." Comic books will go the way of the pulps as it was always a means of reflecting the times we live in. All media, comics included, were intended to mold minds of the readers. Does anyone think that Stan Lee and Dr. Suess being together in the same military division is a coincidence? But you are right, none of the heroes are "heroes." The whole idea of "super heroes." come from the Nephilim/ fallen angels and the hero worship is just another distraction.
    With all that said, I enjoy your commentaries and insights on the industry and entertainment.
