This will be a thread about the movie the The Road War aka Mad Max: 2 and the allegorical meaning behind the movie or more to the point what story the director George Miller was inspired by to make this classic.

Austin Metcalf's murder is particularly salient because almost everyone, regardless of race, has encountered a black person carrying out an antisocial act – cutting in line, mouthing off, blasting music on the subway, etc. – which is accompanied by the implicit threat of violence.

In this case, Karmelo Anthony took Austin Metcalf's seat. Karmelo provoked Austin knowing that he was armed – that if Austin objected, he would just stab him. And that's exactly what happened.

Most people don't want to share a society with people who routinely violate public norms and are prepared to murder anyone who objects. It is a mentality entirely alien to well-to-do people. It isn't a sign of masculinity or being a "bad ass" – trained fighters, elite soldiers, etc. don't act that way in public.

It obviously isn't all black people who behave this way. But of those who do, most are black. I remember seeing a clip of some lowlife black dude threatening to stab a hipster looking black guy on a train for asking him to turn his music down, so it isn't as if you have to be white to object to this sort of antisocial behavior. But that said, the pattern is unignorable, and you rarely see whites, Asians, or Jews acting like this.

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.

Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.

It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

@OlgaBazova Invoke Article 5 !! Ukraine needs to be stopped from attacking NATOstan

[SUMMsumm865 @Kevin989065436]

@OlgaBazova How is Ukraine not a pariah state? When they're not murdering students, they blow up civilian ships. They make Somali pirates look civilized.

[Pebble Egg @PebbleEgg]

@OlgaBazova I thought a foreign country attacking a NATO protected country would spark article 4?
This obviously means Ukraine is an enemy of both Russia and NATO..

[Olga Bazova @OlgaBazova]

The moment of the explosion of a Ukrainian marine drone in a Romanian port was caught on live broadcast by a local journalist

▪️Romanian media reports that 4 marine drones with explosives were found in the coastal zone of Constanta.
▪️Earlier, a marine drone of the same type was found off the coast of Greece. After this, Athens expressed a protest to Kiev.

There is more to the story behind the reason why the Stargate show on Amazon was cancelled.

The original greenlighters at Amazon, Nick Pepper and Matt King, who liked Martin Gero's work that respected the Stargate lore, have been moved, let go, or restructured under a new Amazon MGM studio leadership.

Under the new leadership with Peter Friedlander, who is an ex-Netflix head of U.S. and Canada scripted division, and Blair Fetter, a Netflix vet who ran “spectacle series”, they shifted focus towards maximum broad and global appeal for expensive worldbuilding shows.

They want more shows like Stranger Things, 3 Body Problem, Ozark, etc, which were massive hits, and any new shows must have broad appeal, where they must convincingly bring in new viewers, not just satisfy existing fans.

There is an age-old saying... A product made for everyone is made for no one. These execs don't understand that their success came during a time of a massive global crisis, and pretty much any decent show gets massive ratings due to the forcibly captive audience. COVID really gassed up a lot of execs into thinking they are geniuses when the reality is that these numbers were never going to be repeated again.

What this will likely do is cause Amazon to burn massive amounts of funds for "modern audience-wide appeal" flops that interest no one and offend no one.

And yet, even under this new regime, it is still greenlighting more of Rings of Power despite its underperformance. The chase for "inoffensive broad appeal" is going to bite them in the butt.

The sad part is... a lore-accurate Stargate show was in the works, but because it didn't have enough modern audience broad appeal, they axed it under the new leadership.

Joe Mallozzi, a long-time SG1 showrunner said, "It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family.”

By all accounts, it sounded like it would have been a good show, but we'll never see it... not at least from the "new" Amazon.
