Thereβs an exchange from the English Civil War that gets at the Earl of Manchester. Adapt it to our situation and it applies. The centrist may loss 99/100 but they will be centrist still but if progressives lose once or the last time, their posterities are undone.

When you lose, your ideas arenβt discredited, you blame the right people, you might not be big ticket but you get to advise and comment on TV. But even if the unelectable wins once, one minor setback or loss finishes them forever.

And Revenge of the Sith has Lucas homaging The Godfather. Megalopolis has been compared to the prequels. Hugo has Scorsese doing Spielberg. And Ready Player One is in part maybe Spielberg reflecting on George Lucas.

In response to a return-to-office mandate, layoffs, and the cancellation of several games, workers launched a three-day strike.
The workers walked out in response to five French unions issuing the strike call.
