  • I enjoyed it a lot.

    spoiler

    I do not read this as a centrist movie at all. As you say it very clearly places the villain as a megacorp datacenter, but the criticism is valid. The liberal protestors are incredibly performative and are removed from any co sequence of the original issue. The right wingers are weirdo conspiracy freaks, one who literally murders his rival and his kid lol and is an massive dipshit the entire movie, and frames his only black deputy for the murder.

    Capital is the only winner in the movie. That the political theater of these idiots in the movie mean nothing and lack direction. It shows how easily the tech companies bailed on corporate dems (Ted Garcia) and fell right into these right wing freaks (Cross’ Stepmom).

    Nobody who had a real fucking problem in the movie received any help from anyone. Cross’ wife was completely ignored and shit on from the start, and she left and joined a cult. The homeless pissed off The Mayor, the Sheriff, The liberal children, and everyone else before being randomly killed and never seen again.

    Everyone in the film is trying to manipulate the suffering for their own game, whether it is their spouses’ trauma for political gain, or the suffering of black people to impress a girl and sleep with her. The only thing that wins in this whole film is capital. It was never going to be affected at all.

    The movie aint gotta say THE PROBLEM IS CAPITAL AND THE ONLY SOLUTION IS REVOLUTION lol. It is just saying that the events of 2020 were a farce, and capital won.

    Seems lefty to me. Doesn’t havent to explicitly advocate for revolution.

    Anyway sorry for the rant. I enjoyed the movie a lot.












  • Relatively small solidarity protests going on in multiple cities. Could really roll into something, but i am unsure of how big without a huge ignition, like ICE being caught brutalizing someone on camera.

    If there is a “peak” to this current deal, its going to be this weekend, barring something wildly inflammatory happening. For 6 months into trumps presidency, its definitely something, and even if it fizzles out this time, its probably going to keep happening over time. Gonna be interesting times.

    Edit: interestingly near me there is a way larger than I would expect protest in a pretty suburban area. It is heavily Hispanic, so makes sense, but also its Tuesday. It looks to be well over 1k people, and that is genuinely surprising. It might go pretty hard on the weekend.

    The crowd looks to be families and very chill, of course it didnt stop the county pd from rolling out the riot gear. Death to America.
