This is fucking insane. Of all the things in the new stimulus, this one is just nuts.

They basically are bailing out Hollywood I guess for suffering from the pandemic and bad economy. Now copyright laws are about to get even more insane.

This is the kind of shit we get with "tough on crime" Dems.

    LOL there isn't going to be a revolution here or in the UK. If the Brits couldn't do it during the Thatcher era, they never will. As for the US, the left is a counter-culture here with little to zero power at all. If it's even possible, we've got a long ways to go to building a movement. Fascism is far more likely. We're already several steps there.

      Never say never, the youth in both Britain and the USA has seen its material conditions go to shit, and are thus in complete rupture over what used to be "acceptable" politics. But yea, I'm not saying fascism can't emerge victorious either, because that's indeed a really likely possibility with the current events slowly spiralling out of control.
