  • It’s fun to see media that gets so close to getting it but then veers off in ridiculous brainwormed ways. I’m watching They Live. The scene where the protagonist and his friend gets to the safe house of the mass organization and the leader makes a point to say they’re not communists. Then he explains how people ascending to the labor aristocracy and petite booj lose their humanity (not in those words, of course). Then he says that Earth is the aliens’ third world (with the tacit implication that what the irl first world does to the irl third world is an acceptable fact of life). All in the span of maybe a minute of dialogue.
