Red October: Autocratic America & The Rise Of ‘Virtual Hollywood’

At the moment, it definitely looks as though Steve Bannon’s “spiritual shock troops” will successfully pull of the administrative coup he’s plotting in broad daylight and the United States will slip peacefully into autocracy.

This, of course, raises the question of what will happen to the Bluer portions of the United States, like NYC and LA. It’s reasonable to assume that at some point — probably when there’s a MAGA-themed Constitutional Convention — that millions of center-Left people across the country will vote with their fleet and flee for other parts of the globe.

I could easily see millions of Americans from NYC, Chicago and Boston settling all across Europe. But the question of the moment for me is, what happens to Hollywood?

I think one of two things might happen. One, would be Hollywood would become totally virtual. Much of Hollywood production takes place well outside of LA proper and it could be that the entire industry becomes virtual as America becomes more and more autocratic and, as such, less and less friendly to creative types.

There won’t be a physically Hollywood anymore. It will be everywhere an no where.

There is the other option, which would be that somewhere like Perth might be where Hollywood re-located en masse.

But all of this speculation has to be put in context — there would come a point when our new autocrat panicked at the loss of economic output by all these Blues leaving the country and they would be the kibosh on anyone leaving the country for any reason. Form follows function, as they say.

So, lulz, I dunno.
