image Frédéric Bastiat warned that when plunder becomes normalized, it doesn’t disappear — it gets legalized. This is why teaching kids how to think about law, power, and incentives matters. Real education helps them recognize the difference between justice and force, even when force is dressed up as policy. 👉 https://buff.ly/2mtsLho Source:

image Creative industries attract people with progressive instincts. Writers, actors, and directors are drawn to storytelling that challenges tradition, authority, and social norms. That naturally aligns with left-leaning worldviews. But that doesn’t tell the whole story. Most industry professionals live in Los Angeles or New York City. Both vote Democratic by 40+ points. This geographic concentration creates what researchers call "The Big Sort", a widely studied phenomenon where like-minded people cluster together, reinforcing shared assumptions. When your entire professional network shares the same worldview, those assumptions become invisible. They feel like objective reality instead of political choices. Major studios control distribution deals and marketing budgets. Green-lighting a film requires convincing executives who may find certain messages personally objectionable. This creates bottlenecks. Projects that challenge progressive assumptions face structural resistance not because they lack artistic merit, but because they create professional risk for decision-makers. The safest career move is always to align with institutional consensus. The Oscars implemented Representation and Inclusion Standards for the Best Picture category. Films must meet specific diversity criteria related to onscreen representation, themes, and behind-the-camera crew to qualify for nomination. These function as quotas by setting minimum standards. A film can be artistically brilliant but ineligible for the industry's highest honor if it doesn't meet demographic requirements. This isn't neutral. It's institutional power shaping which stories get told and rewarded. When Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" sought distribution in 2004, major studios passed. They predicted box office failure. Gibson self-financed and self-distributed. It earned $612 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film for 12 years. The system didn't just fail to recognize audience demand. It actively worked against a film that violated institutional assumptions. Sound of Freedom" (2023) faced similar obstacles. Major studios passed. Mainstream critics dismissed it before release. It earned $250 million worldwide on a $14.5 million budget. Audiences showed up despite institutional resistance. The gap between what institutions greenlight and what audiences want keeps growing. This isn't sustainable. Hollywood shapes cultural narratives. It influences how millions understand history, morality, and political choices. When institutional incentives systematically favor one worldview, alternative perspectives get marginalized not through argument but through structural exclusion. This isn't about individual filmmakers being "biased." It's about an ecosystem that discourages certain stories while rewarding others.
