    Star Wars: Andor is made and produced by fucking Disney. Squid Games was produced by Netflix.

    Never underestimate the ability of capitalism to commodify anything and everything, even the dissent of the system.

      True, capitalism commodifies everything, but it always has a doublethink view of dissent and rebellion. They’re okay as long as the bad guys are a clearly evil empire (as in Star Wars) but not if it’s the US or conventional culture in general. I mean, Disney isn’t gonna mek a series about the adventures of the Black Panthers unless it alreadty has an established swag market.
