The return of McCarthyism to Hollywood

From the writers strikeThey have already canceled some contracts for figures who support the strike and slipped that they might replace the scriptwriters with artificial intelligence. A remake of what was McCarthyism.

The panorama recalls the reprisals taken in the 50s with suspicious scriptwriters, directors and actors of inclinations communists, who were left without work when they became part of a blacklist. That persecution had been promoted by the Republican senator Joseph McCarthyand plagued the film and entertainment industry for ten long years.

McCarthyism, persecution and discrimination for political ideas

And this is not a paranoid suspicion: David Simon, the creator of the series The Wire, considered by many to be “that Russian novel that happens on HBO”, He was suspended following he joined the strike.

Added to this is the implausible threat of use of AI for writing scripts. Little credible because, today, the political correctness of the AI ​​prevents the use of irony and the use of jokes, something that the AI ​​is not in a position to develop. Definitely: day IA it cannot do what humans do.
