      Also, if the rules say you get to charge 500% the MSRP on shitty junk food, I am allowed to steal your profits by not being an idiotic consumer.

      There is a singular reason why theaters are struggling; their misunderstanding of the profits they should be generating.

      Mindlessly accepting authority is far worse and leads to fascism.

        You can choose not to go to the cinema. The options here aren’t “accept or disobey”.

        You can entirely remove yourself from the situation, given the fact no-one is forcing you to go into their private premises.

        Unlike actual fascism in a country where escaping the government is, at best, uprooting your entire life. Or worst, illegal / risking your life / impossible.

          I’m on the side of business here. It’s private, their rules, etc. My comment was more a response to their appeal to authority.

          Seriously, the people carping on about the fascism reeealy need to get some perspective on life I think.
