However we should not feel schadenfreude or spite about the bankrupting of American cultural industries, certainly when newsmagazines like the Atlantic are suffering so much more than Hollywood, a growing enterprise. I don’t necessarily believe that selling out your hard-earned editorial brand to a conservative think tank is a much greater betrayal to Americans than removing a flag on someone’s fucking jacket that you only heard about through Reddit for a market you don’t even live in, because both are bad in their own way. One is a complete disregard for the sanctity of your own work, and another is shitting on a movie you’re not even going to watch.
