I’ll allow their use of AI.

Sadly they’ve got a Ricky Gervais video as the ai subtitling sample, but then again it is his anti Hollywood golden globes speech… which was essentially controlled opposition.

Nevertheless.

    It’s a shame that one of the most famous anti-Hollywood speeches boils down to.

    “Hey fellow rich people? You’re all too nice and it’s making everyone sick! Drop the philanthropy and be open douchebags!”

    Literally a call for the ruling class to be LESS ethical.

      Zizek makes kind of the same point and I’d hate to go to bat for either of them but I think they’re correct on that one. All the philantrophy is just bullshit anyways, smoke and mirrors. The only thing it serves to do is obfuscate the horrible shit

        …do you truly think it’s better for billionaires not to donate to charity than to do so? Because I’m sorry, but whatever complicated moral justification you have for berating them for it, these donations still have a large positive impact on the world.
