FIRST BLOOD: How Star Wars: The Last Jedi Ignited The Endmost Culture War
This essay examines how Star Wars: The Last Jedi ignited the explosion which started the terraforming of modern culture.
Firstly, what exactly is culture?
I define culture as sharing the same set of traditions, language, entertainment etc. Also, being ruled over the same government.
Which this then leads us to the current Culture War.
It started on December 15th, 2017 with the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Now, one could argue it started when Trump was elected. Also, that Hollywood has been making truly subversive films for about twenty years now.
But with The Last Jedi; Hollywood spited the fans. They put out a product with the goal of sending a message; instead of making money. And I could spend hours breaking down The Last Jedi and explaining where they went wrong.
Here's a quick answer: They killed Luke Skywalker and Snoke in a sequel of a trilogy. Which means, with the loss of two main characters; they will have to start over with the third movie.
And good luck making people invested in new characters with the ending to the Skywalker Saga. God, it still feels unreal. That LucasFilm could’ve done this much damage.
Anways, this is stupid. Beyond stupid.
It still baffles me.
You want to keep Luke alive to keep people excited to see how he dies. Or, maybe lives. Also, you want people invested in how Snoke's defeated. So they will turn up in droves for the finale of one of the greatest franchises in cinema history.
This is really-really simple stuff.
CHANGING CULTURE
This is such an important event because a company chose to ruin one of the biggest franchises ever on purpose.
Which then created ripples throughout so many people's lives. I honestly can't talk about Luke Skywalker, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, Marvel and DC Comics without becoming annoyed when chatting with friends, family or co-workers.
For the sake of transparency: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc could also be considered the impetus of this modern, worldwide Culture War. It allowed the malicious to be able to form alliances and enact underhanded techniques to manipulate popular opinion.
To some people: This could be considered a horror story. To others; it's just the price of doing business.
At the end of the day, this war is going on 24/7. Split into two camps.
THE UNKNOWING MAJORITY
Since 2016, American Politics, has radicalized almost everyone on social media. They now see everything through the Left/Right Paradigm.
Which just means are you Left or RIght.
But here's the thing: Since they're on Social Media for some sort of agenda; the only people that have value are on their side. For they are here to fight a war. And if you're not on their side; then you're their enemy.
This is a psychotic way to see life.
But also; this is how business is done. Just not usually with the targeted harrassment campaigns SJWs and Far-Right people are known for conspiring and committing.
Companies try to create subterfuges regarding the quality of their opponent's product.
Or release vital information.
Y’see, business isn't personal. And the Culture War is.
It goes after people's identities. Who they are as a person. One group alone has been singled out and persecuted going on several years: White Males. And there's no rhetoric to fight it. You just have to keep creating stories to enter Pop Culture.
THE END GOAL
The Last Jedi was the beginning of the Elites trying to terraform culture rapidly. And please remember: Academia has been set up to pump out mindless, corporate drones all spouting the same nonsense. Going on since the 60s.
It is nonsense. It can't hold up to reason and logic. It depends on mob mentality.
Their main goal is to change culture by using propaganda, mob mentality, the power of groupthink to implement a new regime of language, religion and traditions.
Essentially, creating a whole new way of life.
Which was propagated when Disney was willing to risk $250M on a message over trying to provide quality entertainment. They chose Social Justice over making money.
It was business.
But now, it's personal.
They're coming for everyone identities. You can ignore them; but they're always there. Scheming in the background.
