I support the writer’s guild strike because they are not part of the bourgeoisie. The same can’t be said of a lot of these rich actors who own a ton of capital themselves. So on the one hand, it kind of seems like the bourgeoisie is fighting the bourgeoisie on this one. On the other hand, not every actor in the guild is as successful as Tom Cruise, so some of those striking actors are working class.
Please do the bare minimum of research, the SAG is huge, vast vast majority of the actors in it are not famous superstars making millions (and even they are still deserving of being in a union). One of the major contention points is the studio’s proposal for AI for background actors is they will get scanned once, get paid like 1k dollars and the studio will own their image and voice for like forever
What do you think they’re doing by posting in communism 101?
Asking for other people to do the research for them, you can learn this info by reading or listening to like 1 news article
Ok great yeah please go listen to the mainstream media to get your understanding of labor action 😵💫
This is a question that a lot of less politically conscious people have, the answer is obvious if you know it, this place should be for sharing that information with people who are seeking it. Introductory info, 101, no??
We’re not qanon. Lib news is very useful, but has to be read critically.
Lib news is fine if you know what you are looking for. If you are asking “is the actor strike good” you don’t know what to look for.
You’re gonna get “both sides make good points” from lib news on that. So why tell newbies they should go read that instead of us? It’s pointlessly hostile, spiting ourselves for no reason
Lib news is fine to understand the basic facts of what’s happening, like imonadiet mentions:
“Hey there fledgling leftist who is asking to be propagandized, unfortunately I do not deem your question worthy of my time, please go read CNN instead”
Is the painfully dumb to me sorry. Simply saying nothing would be a significant improvement. In a normal discussion, sure. This is not a normal discussion, it’s 101 for a reason I feel like I am taking crazy pills here it’s like some people are actively hostile to the idea of growing leftism, which has always been true, but also they decide to hang out in a place called ‘communism 101’ for some fking reason
The people who own these companies ARE THE BOSSES that the actors are striking against!
It’s a very common trolling tactic here to ask questions framed by wrongly presented facts.
It’s not weird to push back against the wrongly presented facts; there are other answers here as well.
It’s ok, I think you’re painfully dumb too.
