I'll post here, I think.
Okay, why can't the right make entertainment?
We make memes, the left makes movies.
This, despite the fact that a decent piece of entertainment media is relatively easy and cheap to make if you got the right skillsets together.
So, Why is that?
My opinion? the key is looking at how the left makes any form of entertainment media.
- Guys comes up with basic idea, usually a rough and incomplete concept that will change somewhat as the project progresses, and the guy pitching the idea usually has no skills besides ideas to contribute to the project, he is, for lack of a better term, an "ideas guy".
- People who like the idea decide to help him make it, they find what skills they or the people they know can contribute to the project, and a team is assembled.
- The team begins to work on the project, changes are made here and there, until they have something to show off, and get some funding.
- with the funding secured, they once more set a deadline, list of tasks, and delegate the team members to do their specific thing.
- the project is finished, and the finished product is released, more money comes in, and the people who helped with the funding claim their cut.
Compare to the right:
- as before the ideas guy comes in
- he is ignored, told to do everything himself, and so on, you know, they reject him because he wants them to make his dream media for him, despite teamwork being how any media is typically made.
- without a team, and with the things demanded of him outside his passion/skillset, everything stops there.
The Right fails to understand what work is done behind coming up with ideas, that being the ideas guy, is actually a job in itself, it may include research, careful design choices, plans on how to create and promote the media, and so on.
They are basically like architects, and the team they are trying to recruit, are like construction workers, the architect has created the building in his mind, but he needs the skills of the constructors to build it in reality.
The job of an architect may look easy, just scribbling lines on paper, but that is because the architects work is largely already done before the first line is drawn.
the construction workers could not create anything like the building without the architect, and his plans that unite them in one grand undertaking, without him, they would not gather together, as they have no common purpose to gather for, so they would be limited to building things that are comparably very small scale, interesting, but lacking in impact, and very transitory.
And this is why the right makes memes, but the left makes movies. the disdain for those who build ideas, compared to their narrow-minded focus on those who build something that can be shown off.
The failure to recognize that both of these are very distinct skillsets, which often don't co-exist within the same person, and it goes beyond "learn to code" or "git gud", because skill is fueled by monomania, obsession, passion. the monomania for a grand vision is often very different from the monomania of those who work on the minute details that the grand design is comprised of. they both demand different personality types, and these personality types, they are largely down to genetics.
the other issue I've identified is that the right largely has no interest in making media, they have a lot of the minute details types, but lack in the grand design ideas guys that come up with the projects that these former category of creators would dedicate themselves to helping to create.
The problem is a lack of awareness of the types of creativity that exist, how they are tied to personality, how personalities are tied to genetics, and why these different types need to work together if anything larger than a meme is going to be created.
It's not money, or public support, or censorship that kills right wing creativity, they have nothing to do with why pretty much all entertainment is borne of the left, the fault lies entirely in those on the right. Who lack teamwork, and respect for abstract creations due to a narrow focus on material creations.
but that's just my opinion, let me know what you think.
