Western civilization didn't end slavery, they just converted it from race based to class based. The rich continue to make sure they benefit while others spend their days working for the benefit of food, shelter, and minimal survival. They have just managed to get the slaves to have no idea that they are slaves and in fact take pride in their slave status. I'm the case where some extra cash is left over they have programmed the slaves to hand that over to the rich in exchange for useless trinkets and tickets to various events designed to keep them complacent and avoid actual thought that might make them realize what is actually happening.

Fair enough, and yes. I agree that any idiot can make a video / movie / series that relies heavily on the suspension of disbelief and has no real plot and/or doesn't require intelligence to enjoy (or often counts on the absence of it.) In order to create truly great art, however, requires talent and expertise. Any idiot can grab some paint and a paintbrush, but that doesn't mean anyone with access to tools is a professional who can create a product worth paying good money for, and these days far too many people look at the finished product and say ... "It's just paint and canvas ... How hard can it be to splash some colors on it?"
