To become a 21st century media executive in Los Angeles or New York, you will rise higher and faster if you can signal the following modern virtues.
· A herd-mentality, with dependency on politically-correct comradeship
· A fear of being incorrect
· A confidence in the superiority of Hollywood’s political culture
· A cold intolerance to differing viewpoints
· A loathing of a consistent high moral standard
· A bitterness toward a traditional environment that has allegedly wronged them
· An aggrieved mentality
· An imaginary sympathy with all other victims of white, male, Euro-centric culture
· An emancipator mentality, with the aggressive urge to force therapy on the psychologically inferior
· A fervent faith in the science of behavioral psychology
· A quick willingness to endorse totalitarian means to change culture
· A pessimistic distrust of European Christendom
· A bold attraction to every liberating idea, especially sexual license
· A bold dedication to shred the envelope of on-screen decency
· A strong desire to alienate others from all things traditional
· A sophisticated affinity for leftist politics and a hatred of conservative ideas
· A cunning realization that the sting of vindictive criticism must be light enough that viewers accept it.
What is being released right now is not transparency.
It is controlled disclosure.
Fragments.
Selective timing.
Curated narratives.
Carefully engineered confusion.
Enough to distract.

“Our problem as Americans is we actually hate history. What we love is nostalgia.’
-- Regie Gibson
“Here’s an uncomfortable truth about the Epstein accusations: We only find them morally reprehensible because of Christianity. Before the spread of Christianity, ‘civilized’ Greek and Roman elites openly flaunted underage s*x slaves. This was normal. Emperor Hadrian built an entire city in honor of his favorite boy… If you undercut the moral foundations of Christianity from the West, culture reverts back to pagan norms.”
–Paul Anleitner
