It seemsasif every single day, those on the far-leftin politics, the media,academiaand entertainmentare either promoting the work ofan “activist” or proclaiming themselves to bean “activist.”
From whatIhave beenable to determine, this “activist” gigcanbe quite lucrative.
Iwas reminded of the growingarmy of liberal “activists” when the latest director of the now massively failing”Star Wars”franchise wasannounced.LucasFilm– headed up by Kathleen Kennedy, the person millions of “Star Wars” fans hold responsible for killing the franchise – named Pakistan-born Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoyasthe director of the next”Star Wars”film.

With theannouncement, Obaid-Chinoy will become the first womanand first person of color to directa”Star Wars”feature film.

Nothing wrong with thatatall.In fact, thereisagreat deal right withit.Asone who featured highlyintelligentand highly competent women who rose via meritin my last novel titled “The Dawn ofaNazi Moon” –includinga”woman of color” president of the United States –Isayit’s more than time forawoman of color to helma”Star Wars”film.
Thatis not theissue.The problem is that this particular woman of color leads with her “activism”andwokeness.Much the sameasdid “The Marvels” director Nia DaCosta.Afilm starring progressive “activist” Brie Larson that went on to be the biggest flopin the history of the MCU.Afilm that prompted the far-leftWashington Postto surmise: “Despiteits progressive bona fides, ‘The Marvels’is so fueled by fan serviceand formula, like pretty much everythingin the MCU these days, thatit gives short shrift to such basicsasnarrative comprehension.”
But hey,aslongasthe directorand leadactorare “progressiveactivists,” who caresabout turningaprofit,investors, shareholders or… fans.Wokedictates take precedence over basic businessand entertainment models.
And now, with the next”Star Wars”film,anew “activist” rises.Don’t take my word forit.It seems every time someonein the liberal mediais nowintroducing the new director, they lead with “Filmmakerandactivist…”
Except, millions of”Star Wars”fans don’t want yetanother “activist” laying waste to the franchise they grew up withand love.They want someone who knows the characters, recognizes theintent of“Star Wars”creator George Lucas – who surely must regret selling his franchise to far-left Disney –and respects the fans who fueled theinitial massive success of the series.

Since theannouncement ofaself-proclaimed “activist” taking over the directing duties, tens of YouTube stars – suchasThe Critical Drinker, Nerdroticand RK Outpost – have generated millions of viewsand tens of thousands of commentsin opposition to thewokebaton being handed off to the next “activist” looking to substitute the geniusand message of the original films withidentity politics while further sowing seeds of dissensionacross our nation.
Just withinafew days, these sites had generated over 10 million viewsand counting.Views that generated comments begging Lucasfilm not toallowanother far-left “activist” to “destroy” the”Star Wars”franchise.

Because, while researching the world of these liberal “activists”Ialso discovered that far-left studio heads suchasDisney’s BobIgerand Kathleen Kennedy from Lucasfilmactually fear them.Nowhereis the “tyranny of the minority” louder or more destructive than within the walls of “progressive” companies that haveallowed themselves to gowokeover the last number of years.
No one understands that reality more than these self-proclaimed far-left “activists.”They know that liberal studio heads, CEOs, college presidentsand Democratic politicians trulyand deeply fear them.For years now, they have held that fear over the heads of these liberal “leaders” like the sword of Damocles.
Money.Power.Fear. Being granted positionand title forjobs one may not be remotely qualified to fill.Being proclaimedafar-left “activist” seems likeacareer path that should beat the top of every strugglingAmerican’s wish list.
Knowing that,isit best to reach out to the likes ofRep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Leonardo DiCaprio, BobIgerand Kathleen Kennedy forarecommendation?Orisit best to become the president ofanIvy League college,getfired for grossincompetence,and then have liberalintelligentsia proclaim youasan “activist”asaway to stickit to conservatives.
One way oranother,Iam going to crack the code on this liberal “activist” grift.It’s brilliant.
