In der zweiten Hälfte des 2022er Films ‚Amsterdam‘ von David O. Russell und mit Christian Bale, Margot Robbie und John David Washington spielt der Charakter Gilbert Dillenbeck eine zentrale Rolle. Der von Robert De Niro gespielte Charakter ist an Smedley D. Butler angelehnt.
Der „Maverick Marine“ hatte 34 Jahre in den US-Streitkräften gedient und wurde mit 48 Jahren der jüngste Generalmajor der Geschichte der US-Marineinfanterie. Er diente u.a. im US-Eroberungskrieg der Philippinen, dem Boxerkrieg, der Mexikanischen Revolution & dem Ersten Weltkrieg.

Being a superpower isn’t just economical or military.
It’s a brand.
And a brand that should sell.
And history has shown that all great powers were brands that sold. And the humans of earth bought with their heaters and minds.
#superpower #world

They won’t
Not how they work and think
Being super BRAND power means humans of Earth wanting to be like the citizens of a superpower.
Being a super #BRAND power means your educational institutions, #lifestyle, #habitus, #culture, #language, #food, #traditions EVERYTHING is presented as the best on the planet.
And it usually is.
In the superpower game, 💩 sells some of the time. Not all.
