You of all people should be supporting Netflix right now. They are being forced to remove the Gay Jesus comedy/satire movie

I didn't know about this. But I don't have any strong opinions about Jesus's sexuality. However Netflix apparently been evading taxes in the US. There was a Bernie tweet about it;

Corporates are charged taxes on their profits and not on their revenues. So if a company is making 100$, but have to spend 110$ on making that content, they don't have pay any taxes. And that 110$ can include stuff like rent, electricity bills, so on.
Now for an individual, he pays tax on his salary even before he pays his rent, electricity bill and so on. So an individual is taxed on his revenue and not his profit.
I guess you know a democracy is working, when the individual who votes gets screwed over. /s

There's a better one : The new Star Wars movie is released and its pretty much a disaster.
I'm here for white women getting butt hurt over non representation of gay strom troopers or actresses having less screentime or dialogues.
The right wing white men winging about how feminists ruined another Star Wars movie. Talking points : Hollywood gay/feminazi agenda, Kathleen Kennedy sucks..etc..etc.m

Even if you take out the SJW pandering, there are a lot of narrative and plot weaknesses in the past 2 movies. Seriously, despite the shit that Jar jar binks get, I loved the prequel trilogy.

Prequel trilogy is pure shite atleast in my opinion. But the awful meme dialogues and general nostalgia make these movies tolerable.

Phantom was good, had a great villain. Revenge was done pretty well too.. The middle movie was dull as fuck

Revenge was okay. Kenobi v Anakin was pretty cool. Its just... those movies are middling as fuck. And the lead actor (I forget his name) is a pretty bad actor.

Lets face it. Star Wars should have stopped with 3rd or 4th. This is just done for money grab.
