@unirespecter Are blacks the only racial group that will let off obviously guilty defendants out of racial solidarity alone? You hear about black jury’s doing this all the time but it’s inconceivable for an Asian or even Hispanic jury let alone a white one.
@fitnessfeelingz It’s the kind of patchwork solution that only people descended from the old south generation (whose view of blacks is completely extinct and mostly unknown nowadays) could have come up with.
Excitedly sitting down to watch the Odyssey, opening my Trojan Horse popcorn bucket, and 45 tiny Greeks pop out à la the Indian in the Cupboard and start attacking me
Before white Americans had democracy they were cucked out of taking Indian land by the British king.
When they had democracy they kept voting for taking Indian land, slavery, and segregation.
Libtards are only started winning when democracy was replaced with judicial tyranny
I think the main problem is that it’s a retread of other Bluebeam slop, which was wishful thinking even in the Cold War when it might have seemed poignant to the relatively naive audiences of the time.
I haven’t seen the movie “Disclosure Day” but it seems to be the most “Boomer” film conceivable, at least for 2026.
The film seems to ask:
“What if aliens were real and covered up by our government/experts?”
“Can you imagine how disruptive this revelation would be to our social order?”
“Would you ever trust government/experts ever again? Scandal!”
“Wouldn’t aliens totally upset our comfortable boring hum-drum middle class American lives?”
Sure Mr. Spielberg, but there are some problems with your narrative’s impact.
First, almost no one under 50 lives a hum-drum comfortable middle class life. That’s over, mainly because your class blew it up. Remember?
Second, our social order is already maximally disrupted by war, economic depression, mass-migration, A.I., super viruses, trust collapse, and political instability. So, please tell me, how are the aliens standing at the back of this train going to F*CK us even harder? Sure, they might if they go full “Independence Day”. But until E.T. builds a slum in my hometown and starts decapitating people, minimally, then he is NOT making much of an impact.
Third, in 2026, I can’t be scandalized by government / expert lies. They’ve already lied about things that totally destroyed our ordinary existences, and those lies involved denying things right in front of my eyes, way more concrete than hypothetical flying saucers with little green men in them.
Furthermore, it is also impossible to forget that when we all started noticing these lies, it was people like Spielberg who showed up to accuse us of being “conspiracy theorists”. So great, now we have to indulge Steven’s pet conspiracy theory movie because he thinks it will “blow the mind” of his political enemies in the same way that pointing out the “great Replacement” blew his. The only take away I could possible take from this is that I should believe the government / experts only when Hollywood tells me I should.
All in all, “Disclosure Day” has a problem. It’s not just that I have to indulge a fantasy to enjoy the film (all movies require this). The problem is I have to indulge a fantasy to even be able to indulge this fantasy. In order to be “shocked” by “disclosure”, I have to pretend that I live in the 90s, and am otherwise comfortable, upwardly mobile, with a culture that belongs to me and a government that I trust.
These conditions might pertain to Spielberg and his friends, but for me they are just a fantasy. And I can’t enjoy a fantasy inside another man’s fantasy.
Soviet commissar reminisces on the time when hanging your jacket on a bust of Stalin was grounds for capital punishment for counter-revolutionary activity.
@Taro_of_Agartha If you go by “this country was part of this other country’s empire when that country was attacked by Britain” logic the entire map should be red. Germany and France are really egregious.
