As for why I was listening to conservative talk radio (🤢) in the first place, that’s all the play at my job. I usually tune it out but can’t use earbuds for safety reasons and I’m not high enough on the totem pole to change the station. I won’t specifiy the exact program because I believe it’s regional.
I’ve been excited for Alex Garland’s Civil War for months now. A24’s been killing their drama films recently and it’s been refreshing having what I thought was an unapologetically left-leaning major media studio who’s found success through authentic, grassroots support. After hearing what felt like four ad reads for the movie in an hour and knowing that means A24 paid money - gave direct financial support - to a show that, amongst other things, spends hours a day promoting bigotry, Russian propaganda, and J6 apologetism, has ruined it for me.
Am I just overreacting here?
Anybody who tells you it’s possible to not participate in capitalism while living under capitalism is a liar
If you don’t advertise the movie, you won’t nearly have the same numbers to be able to put out said movies. Nothing is simple or black and white anymore - life has many nuances. Slow down your judgments and try to be as fair as you can and you likely be on the money most of the time
Edit: better wording
