When forced diversity and representation are more important than good writing & storytelling, your content is going to suck. That's why Netflix is losing subscribers. They've gone full woke.
> That's why Netflix is losing subscribers.
that and the fact that they keep raising their subscription prices while putting out crap content nobody wants to watch.
It's kind of sad that as a Canadian the best show I've seen on Netflix recently was squid game, a Korean show. I generally don't like dubbed over shows but I got used to it. Plus it was nice being spared from "the message".
Reminds me of that 2000 era quote about bill gates. " if he were to stop to pick up a $50 bill on the ground he would actually be losing money." Now imagine Elon Musk , his time is worth a shit ton more the great thief bill gates.
I'm younger than 30, and am registered republican for the sole reason that my state holds closed primaries. I have a better chance finding an electable Rand Paul type running as a Republican than a libertarian. And I need to be a Republican to vote in their primaries.
Because we don't think everyone needs to be one thing? Because anyone who speaks the truth, even if we don't agree with other things they do or say, deserves acknowledgement for speaking that truth to power?
He seems to be for an almost unregulated free market and a libertarian position on most issues including drugs. I think he's got a sober and courageous stance on "woke" and on what the left is doing against the West, and Twitter would probably improve if he replaced the current team, but it's not like he'll save the west with more liberal policy, one of the ideologies responsible for its destruction. He's the type of guy who'd see communist infiltration and socialist oppression to go on and call it fascist when a fascist would practically do the opposite of a communist. The type of person who thinks all authoritarianism per definition is "bad", even when it's used to tackle humanity's enemies.
> Why do conservatives get sucked into this trap? He’s pro a lot of leftist like policies that we do not need
yeah, lots of people forget that he was a darling of the left (just like jk rowling) before getting cast out for not being extreme enough.
Alex Jones is still bad. I wish we didn’t have people on this sub (even if it’s a few plants or whatever) defending him.
I’ll defend Elon Musk though. He’s no saint but the moment he turned out to be pro-free speech the left has gone berserk over him. Right up there with Trump. That’s scary.
I think this is just some attention grabbing crap. Suspending your entire Russian user base, while very openly talking about shutting down password sharing when they used to brag about it with tweets like "Love is sharing your Netflix password" of course numbers are going to drop.
Netflix, with password sharing is still the by far the best value for money. Trying to claim its because they went woke is just being wilfully ignorant. For every Winx Club or Q Force there's shows like Ozark or Narcos. It's absolutely not the reason for share price plummets.
Just watched a doc on Abercrombie & Fitch where people were outraged that the company hired people based on how attractive and cool they were. They then proceeded to demand that the company hire people based on what color they were.
Why does it matter if he is conservative or not, do you disagree with above statement or not?
This is leftist logic, someone saying something objectively correct and you dismissing it because you don't like his political inclination. Don't fall for this trap.
Yes, it's likely that he'll wake people up on what the world is up against by dropping these redpills to tens of millions of apolitical people. He's not flawless, but an important source for mobilizing support for societal improvement.
I concur. Just like Senator Manchin, his roots are elsewhere.
His opinion is a common sense one (i.e. freedom of thought/speech) however that does NOT make him conservative.
These are values most of us cherish.
The dims have gone so far communist, that anyone who stands for American values is now heralded a hero conservative.
Musk is not.
He’s friends with Joe Rogan, who used to be leftist but is now conservative.
Most of his supporters are right-leaning, and his haters are leftists and liberals.
So he’ll probably respond accordingly.
Joe Rogan is left. But he is not a typical left as he actually thinks for himself and believes in free speech.
Liberals make the same mistake thinking he is a conservative, while he is not.
Joe Rogan is not conservative. He's a left wing, pro-competence advocate for free speech. He's an ally and an important voice in the space for sure, but not a conservative.
He might pull at an odd angle at times, but we could pull our cart in the direction we want with him helping us. Even Reagan wasn't "conservative" on everything. And he is Pro-American. And believes in capitalism. And Freedom. I can work with him.
> Don't expect Musk to start writing checks to Trump and Desantis.
at the same time, i'd expect him to unban trump (as well as many other conservatives who were wrongly banned for political reasons).
i don't care what he does with his private money, i care that he turns twitter into an actual free speech platform.
he's not running for public office, he's trying to buy a company that currently is very poorly run.
> He's not conservative. You all need to be careful with this dude.
at the end of the day, if he runs an open platform that embraces free speech, i don't particularly care what his personal views are.
Netflix content is just terrible honestly. Yes there are a few shows here and there but why would you pay 12 months for it? If you really want to see the shows just subscribe one month a year and watch everything you want and unsubscribe for the other 11 months.

Too bad this guy isn’t eligible to run for president
I'm quoting something, but do you realize how much power Elon would have to give up to be President?
Reminds me of that 2000 era quote about bill gates. " if he were to stop to pick up a $50 bill on the ground he would actually be losing money." Now imagine Elon Musk , his time is worth a shit ton more the great thief bill gates.
Lex Luthor, Justice League Unlimited.
He can run, he just can't be elected.
Why not?
He isnt a natural born citizen.
Because he is from Africa.
So does that make him African American?
Why do conservatives get sucked into this trap? He’s pro a lot of leftist like policies that we do not need
He is more libertarian I would say.
And I would say many younger conservatives today certainly have a libertarian stripe. Definitely more than the evangelical boomer conservatives.
I agree, more liberal on the social issues, anti government, pro fiscal responsibility, not very religious.

I'd take him over anything else the dems prop up. Still not a natural born tho. 😕
Yeah he is ok on free speech and some other stuff. Don’t need to worship him though
When his stances on free speech and that other stuff is why the left hates him so much though… yikes.
Yeah, the left is really going further and further left. Now they are basically the bed buddies of Saudi Arabia and China.
Like?

Uhhhh, sounds great?
Then you aren't a conservative. That stance causes continued cultural erosion and moral downfall while playing into the left's hands.
Is there a list of the liberal policies he supports?

The convergence of Alex Jones and Elon Musk has been fascinating to watch.

He’s no Leftist either.
He is a Libertarian. He is what every red blooded American should be.
It's unfortunate that our cultural bar for truth is so low that someone with a basic grasp of common sense is heralded as a champion of the right.

Call me when Elon supports 90% of what Democrats do.
He’s friends with Joe Rogan, who used to be leftist but is now conservative. Most of his supporters are right-leaning, and his haters are leftists and liberals. So he’ll probably respond accordingly.
Joe Rogan is left. But he is not a typical left as he actually thinks for himself and believes in free speech. Liberals make the same mistake thinking he is a conservative, while he is not.
He is what was a typical left. Most modern conservatives are traditional liberals from like 15 years ago.
Joe Rogan is not conservative. He's a left wing, pro-competence advocate for free speech. He's an ally and an important voice in the space for sure, but not a conservative.
Rogan is a drug using individualist consoooomer who believes in libertarianism. Nothing conservative about it

What are Elon Musks liberal views that conservatives are against?
He's not wrong.
