The far right is constantly warning that if you go woke, you’ll go broke. But when it comes to the new Barbie movie, they couldn’t be more wrong.
Barbie, which follows Barbie (Margot Robbie) and Ken (Ryan Gosling) as they leave Barbie Land to explore the real world, earned a whopping $162 million in its opening weekend, Variety reported Monday. This is the biggest opening weekend of the year, and the biggest opening weekend for a female director ever.
The film had already made $22.3 million at the domestic box office from Thursday previews, the biggest preview haul of the summer. It blew the previous record of $17.5 million (made by Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in May) out of the water.
From my observation, a lot of the culture war issues of the modern era have come from a different usage of language. I remember the whole arguments a few years back about what “racism” means as some people were using the academic “power and privilege” definition while the rest of the world were still using the standard dictionary definition.
Based and remember that america isnt the only one country in the world pilled.
Oh yeah, for all their talk of diversity and inclusion, American progressives are amazingly ignorant of the world outside their own nation.
