Actual footage of the Universal Studios* CEO “trimming” all of the shade trees at one of the L.A. WGA/SAG-AFTRA picket locations, so strikers have no protection from the intense heat of the sun
(*production company behind 2012’s tumblr hit film The Lorax)
Hope the execs at Universal Pictures get absolutely fucked by all the fines and fees for damaging the trees at the picket line to sabotage the strikes. 🙏🏻
if i see one more fucking ‘reject modernity embrace tradition’ meme i’m going to lose my shit
it costs literally $0 to give a fuck about jewish people and not use fucking nazi slogans as ‘memes’
just don’t say nazi shit. it’s easy. think about this: will not saying nazi shit have an adverse impact on my quality of life? if the answer is yes, then you’re probably a nazi. if the answer is no, then you can stop it and easily make the world a safer and more comfortable place
I had no idea this meme is a fascist dogwhistle thing. But I looked it up and it’s clearly a thing fascists like, taken from the first two definitions of fascism by Umberto Eco, who lived under Mussolini’s fascist reign:
The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.”
The rejection of modernism. “The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.”
