This man is a walking living commercial for everything that's wrong with capitalism: infantilism, materialism, lack of political consciousness, vulgarity, bad taste and complete lack of finesse and aesthetics, ignorance, shallowness, emotional inaccessibility, addictive consumerism, inhumanity and lack of compassion and zero mental or personal substance: it is all there
This needs to be seen to be believed.
IDF forcibly stop paramedics from saving a life and then attack the patient.
Palestinian life is worthless to them.
Blinken is actually scared. He knows how fucked Israel is if a major war breaks, and he has probably been told by security officials in the States they may not be able to save Israel.
(He has probably also been told about the implications of 20 dollars per gallon of gas on the American economy and political stability, which is very likely, and worse, if the oil industry in the Gulf is severely sabotaged).
But Israelis and their politicians don't get it. They think they are protected when it's mostly religious delusions and establishment brainwashing. They are eerily, chillingly complacent. The wake-up is going to be so brutal
In Star Wars George Lucas is literally on the record saying that the main inspiration for the rebel alliance was the Vietcong and the empire the U.S.
As for V for Vendetta, the original author Alan Moore has been quite explicit that he wrote the book as a response to Thatcherism in 1980s Britain. He was concerned about the rise of the far right and what he saw as authoritarian tendencies in the government. The Wachowskis, who then adapted it into a movie, have said their adaptation was inspired by the post-9/11 political climate (the War on Terror and its impact on civil liberties) as well as the idea of using fear as a political tool.
Lastly the Matrix is famously a metaphor for people taking "the red pill" and discovering the alienating forces of capitalism (Morpheus: "The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.")
In other words, in today's context, I'm pretty certain that Musk is very much on the opposite side of "the resistance" and he's the one (probably consciously and willfully) refusing to see it. Wild...

J’ai regardé plus en détail la cérémonie d’ouverture et je suis outré ! Parents, évêques, prêtres et pasteurs, hommes politiques de tout bord , rabbins et imams, combien de temps allez vous laisser dépraver nos enfants
Ce soir, cette nuit, je refuse catégoriquement que le satanisme entre autres soit considéré comme une normalité que l’on peut diffuser à nos enfants
Seul le Maroc a compris de quoi on parlait et a eu la seule réponse adaptée en protégeant son peuple des images de dépravation
De nouveau, c’est l’islam qui nous donne une leçon de morale publique pendant que les chrétiens sont endormis à coté des juristes
Il est 3 h 30, je suis debout depuis 6 h 45 et je vous garantis que je ne suis pas fatigué et que le combat pour protéger nos enfants de ces dingues ne fait que commencer
