I like how his example of The Shadow's pre-public domain status being so superior is a Sam Raimi film...that didn't get made because Universal, the studio who had permission from the Shadow's rights holders at the time, didn't like his pitch and had to be refitted into Darkman.

Also her holiness Ayn Rand doesn't exactly agree with Razor's stance on perpetual copyright.

The big difference between Dubya and Trump is that the latter doesn't know how to wage a war; instead of going full Dubya and using a combined arms approach to liberate territory while trying to minimize civilian casualties, he bombs the shit out of targets without care towards damaging civilians, then he expects the enemy to capitulate. At least Dubya got the conquering part right; it was ruling post-Saddam Iraq that turned out to be a big problem for Dubya. Leave it to Trump to turn a just war that he could've easily won into a disaster where he's walking away with less than what he had before.

Trump's idea of waging war is the same way the mafia terrorized NYC and other cities; break shit, then threaten to break more shit if the uppity idiots don't back down. The problem? Iran is ruled by a religious caste who are ready and willing to die for their version of God, their faith, and their ideology. Kill the new supreme leader, and another religious whack-job will take his place. And them standing against Trump's continued attacks are a win-win; if Trump backs down, they look like heroes, if Trump doesn't, they'll meet their 72 virgins early.

To put it in simple gamer terms, Trump's way of attacking the enemy is something they're built up to be resistant to. It's like attacking a Fire Pokemon with fire attacks. It's not gonna work.

And Danny-boy chooses to die on the Trumpian hill. His credibility will be ruined after this.
TBF, it's not just about the religious leaders, but the overall social, political and economic systems of Iran are more diversified and thus stronger than those of Iraq, where all power was essentially held by a Supreme Leader or something. Because of that, simply attacking one pillar (even a central pillar) means little because the other pillars can support the state till the broken pillar is replaced.
Furthermore, even Bush understood that taking a country involves boots on the ground. You don't just blow up a bunch of stuff, you also need control on-the-ground with the people. However, Trumpo, Kegsbreath and their supporters (like Razor) don't seem to understand this. Which is ironic, since one of my favorite quotes on warfare comes from Anastasius Focht; a character from Battletech. To quote:
Wars are not won on the field of combat. Battles are, but those are only ever part of the story. To win a war you need to break the enemy's resolve, to force him to accept defeat. Otherwise the war will never end. Too many conflicts persist because battles are won but the hearts and minds of the people are not. Winning involves every level of society, from the generals and politicians to the shop girls and street cleaners. The infantryman with his rifle may be the blunt weapon used to win this fight, but he is neither the instigator nor the concluder.
If only Danny Boy or his geriatric idol understood that.

For fuck's sake. Why is Razor treating it as "Either no copyright/patent/IP laws EVER" or "We must give everyone 120 year copyrights!"? I'm pretty sure you can give decent copyright lengths and protections, and then allow it to go into the public domain for people to think new things up from it.

Plus, if the guy's work were to become public domain after 20 years, why would they instead sit on it or make guilds from it, rather than cash in on it for 20 years and cash out afterwards?
Hell, looking at many medical patents and the shit being played, I'd go so far as to argue that in many ways, it's already as bad if not worse as the guild system here. Where a man knows how to produce the drug for cheap and can get the machinery for it, but is being held back by companies which hold the patent for decades. Then, when it expires, they simply make a new patent for the same medicine for a different disease/same process but slightly different medicine; ergo holding the damn patent in their hands for another two decades.

Does Razor have zero faith in the free market? Sure, there'll be shitty films made with PD being a thing, but if they're slop, they'll be forgotten, just like what happened to the recent Mandalorian film. But if they're good, they'll be remembered, because people will like it, and good word of mouth will spread like wildfire.

Razor whines like a bitch about Public Domain, even though it is the purest way to ensure free market meritocracy in entertainment. As opposed to having a monolithic company like Disney hold franchises like Marvel and Star Wars hostage, you can have fans make their own films, and if those films are any good, people will accept them.

You'd think a capitalist like Razor would have faith in the free market of ideas.

Razor's response is him seething to the point he makes a typo:

Manga/Anime culture is doing fine and well with them allowing fans to sell their own fanmade works of official franchises. Not to mention classic works like Zorro, Dracula, among others, where people can make good stuff based on something that might not necessarily coincide with the vision of the original authors, but still stand on their own.

Plus, if the guy's work were to become public domain after 20 years, why would they instead sit on it or make guilds from it, rather than cash in on it for 20 years and cash out afterwards?

The patent system has done worse for medicine than it has for media; preventing people from making and selling life-saving medicine for cheap because some fucking corpo holds the patent to it.

It's curious that every time Razor seethes about the public domain, he always brings up Oz and not, say, Sherlock Holmes.
Hell, just look at the Hammer Horror Dracula and Frankenstein films. Not necessarily faithful adaptations of the books, but they did rather well in creating iconic interpretations of what was on the text. They gave actors such as Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing a nice sandbox to show off in. Letting others have a crack at their own take on an IP can bring in something fresh and interesting, kind of like what happened when George Lucas allowed other authors to make Expanded Universe works for his Star Wars franchise.

Also her holiness Ayn Rand doesn't exactly agree with Razor's stance on perpetual copyright.

Speaking of Star Wars, there's another franchise that can do better in the Public Domain. Disney's writing teams are very limited in imagination and scope, the most they can make are edgy kids' cartoons or Space Antifa. But imagine say, a film about the Mandalorians or the Sith, made by fans of the franchise. I can bet my left ass cheek that they'd do way better than the current Mando film or the Acolyte.

Trump never planned on liberating anyone. His method of war was not liberating the country the way Bush did in Iraq and Afghanistan; but rather, to bomb parts of the country and hope the current leadership breaks. Like I said, it is reminiscent of mafia tactics in NYC and other mob-infested areas back when the mob ran things. Kill a few people, break a few things, and hope that the victims are too scared to resist.

The problem is, as I said before, that shit don't work on religious nutjobs like the Ayatollah and his mates. Kill the current Ayatollah, and the next guy on the line steps in and takes the role. And them resisting Trump is a win-win; either he backs down, and they look like heroes, or Trump kills them, in which case, they get their heavenly reward early. The way these people think make them immune to the kind of scare tactics Trump borrowed from the mafia.

And of course, since Trump and Kegsbreath got rid of the parts of the military whose job it was to mitigate civilian casualties, Trump's bombing runs killed their fair share of civilians, like that one girls' school. Anytime the Iranians start to think the Americans are on their side, the Mullahs don't have to do any repressive actions; they just point to the pile of innocent dead that the Yankee bombing runs have left behind.

Razor is completely delusional to think the Iranians were waiting for the Yanks to save them. Kegsbreath's indiscriminate bombing runs turned the Mullahs from tyrants to heroes in the eyes of the people. Leave it to Trump and Kegsbreath to turn a just cause into a shitshow, because they got rid of the part of the military which mitigated civilian casualties.
 
Holy fuck this moron has turned his tongue cherry red from sipping the Mark Levin/Larry Loomer/Sebastian Gorka kool-aid. What the fuck is his obsession with "muh iranian peepo" anyways? Let me guess, another LARP story where he totally went over there and absolutely got along with the heckin' based locals who ackthually love hair metal and leather assless chaps and Thief 2.
 
This gigafaggot deepthroated Trump's cum and his propaganda about "liberating" Iran. I don't know if he genuinely believes it or is just feigning concern for the Iranian people to virtue signal. Because I recall him calling for Iran to be bombed more just to own the anti Trump groups weeks ago. Not to mention, Trump at one point has said he doesn't give a fuck about regime change anymore.

He really is a fucking boomer through and through, guy was born just a couple of decades too late. Has boomer beliefs, still parrots boomer propaganda from decades ago about "freeing" the sand people. How many fucking times have we heard that before? The state department need to update their talking points for shitstains like gayzorfist. The whole "delivering frE3duUUmBZ and dEm0CRaZzyY" line doesn't work anymore, hasn't worked in the last 10 years at least.

He claims he's never said a word in support of Israel before, assuming that's true( don't know if it is), it doesn't negate the fact that he likes to take aim at people who are critical of Israel pretty fucking often. Isn't that fucking covenient?

Worse, he's been talking about this shit since 2019 at least. Like a boomer watching AI videos, he fell headfirst down the "Shah Pahlavi Iran Based Titty Bikini" hole. For someone who prides himself on having a clear mind and a sharp wit, he's decidedly uncritical about talking heads promoting beliefs he already has. I think the brainrot was setting in by the time he made the video on the Syrian airstrikes in ~2017.

Yeah, after seeing this series of long tweets coping and seething about Trump's decision. It just further cements my belief that he's really a fucking Israeli shill. At one point, I thought that maybe he's just a diehard magafaggot who will follow Trump to the ends of the earth. But, from the tweets that we can see here, he seems genuinely pissed at Trump for this. His reaction is indistuinguishable from all the furious jews I've been seeing on X in the past few days, he should go work for Ben Shapiro or Mark Levin at this point.

He's not a magatard, he's a Migger.

Which is ironic seeing as he's a proud born-again Lutheran, and we all know what Martin Luther thought about The Jews and Their Lies.
 
Holy shit, he made a game video!

Aaaaaand........he's already whining that game company devs hate Trump.

Gee, I wonder why. It's not like a president who wants to launch tariff wars that utterly fuck the global economy chain would be a problem for video game developers who are trying to sell games to a global market. It's not like the video game development machine is swarming with leftists who remember what it was like when conservatives called them demonic for daring to play games that the Religious Right didn't approve of, as far back as the 90s. It's not like the kids back then who were bitched at by older conservatives are now older men who are developing games or something.

The dev team is finally giving him the game he wants, and Razor still bitches that the dev team's politics are not in line with his. What a fucking joke. I mean, I doubt that my brand of religious conservatism would've been supported by the guys at 2000s Bioware or late 90s Blizzard, but I still loved their games nonetheless, because they made good shit. I don't care that they probably think religious people like me are insane; they make great games, and I appreciate their work, even if I disagree with them.

I mean, hell, look at the Warhammer 40K fanbase. They sure as shit disagree with the views on religion and politics that the original Warhammer 40K writers like Rick Priestley had, yet they still loved Warhammer 40K as a miniature war game and as a lore setting. They didn't have to agree with Priestley and the 40K authors on politics to enjoy their work.

Razor is still acting as if Trump is the "leader of the free world", when most of the "free world" wishes that Trump was gone. In fact, under Trump 2.0, most of the "free world" fucking hates America and looks to other countries like France for leadership:



Trump is not the leader of the free world, because his "America First" policies alienated the free world. Best-case scenario, some democratic countries like Singapore, Japan, and the Philippines tolerate him. Worst-case scenario, the democracies of Europe actively despise Trump and openly roll the red carpet for Obama just to spit on Trump. They can't wait for a leftist to retake the Oval Office, because they can't stand Trump.

Also, Razor is still bitching about Kojima. The Metal Gear franchise has already come and gone, and it still left its wounds on poor Danny-boy, to the point where his PTSD leads him to bitch about it in a video concerning Thief. Although to be fair, if Kojima came out with a modern remake of the Metal Gear Solid games, you can bet your ass it'd eclipse this minor return of Thief, and Razor would instead be bitching about how MGS doesn't deserve the hype.

Not to mention Razor bitching about how anti-war propaganda is bad, when a lot of classic and modern authors, from JRR Tolkien to Yoshiyuki Tomino, all preached that war is bad. Fuck, Razor was preaching THAT EXACT SAME MESSAGE not too long ago, praising Trump in the past for not waging wars. But now that he's joined at the hip with the war hawks, anti-war messages are now bad. What a fucking hypocrite.

Funny thing is Sherlock Holmes . Is amalgamation of several earlier characters and couple people Doyle knew personally.
Dupin from Edgar Allan Poe. Inspector Bucket from Charles Dickens. And few others I can't remember right now.
Not exactly unknown Authors . In Study in Scarlet first Sherlock story Holmes takes a piss on his literary predecessors .
So we can be sure Doyle read detective fiction of his day and was directly inspired by it. So if there is permanent copyright people will just create their own legally distinct version of character. Because you can't copyright archetype.
And original will be forgotten by most.
“You remind me of Edgar Allen Poe’s Dupin. I had no idea that such individuals did exist outside of stories.”Sherlock Holmes rose and lit his pipe. “No doubt you think that you are complimenting me in comparing me to Dupin,” he observed. “Now, in my opinion, Dupin was a very inferior fellow. That trick of his of breaking in on his friends’ thoughts with an apropos remark after a quarter of an hour’s silence is really very showy and superficial. He had some analytical genius, no doubt; but he was by no means such a phenomenon as Poe appeared to imagine.”“Have you read Gaboriau’s works?” I asked.“Does Lecoq come up to your idea of a detective?”Sherlock Holmes sniffed sardonically. “Lecoq was a miserable bungler,” he said, in an angry voice;“he had only one thing to recommend him, and that was his energy. That book made me positively ill.The question was how to identify an unknown prisoner. I could have done it in twenty-four hours.Lecoq took six months or so. It might be made a text-book for detectives to teach them what to avoid.”
Sherlock was in first few stories arrogant OC DONUT STEEL. In later stories he became more likeable
