just figured some shit out. im gonna blow this motherfucker wide open. heads will roll

the little mermaid (1989) was a kids movie about a mermaid who wants to become a human sort of like weeabos want to become japanese and rich layabouts want to become mediocre artists. straightforward enough. seems innocent enough

the movie was based on a 🚩🚩🚩danish🚩🚩🚩 story by a man named hans "christian" andersen

in keeping with disney tradition, culture and ethnicity of the characters matches the national origin of the story, eg prince "Eric"

this is were the trouble starts

ladies and gentlemen, this movie does NOT take place along the north sea. nor does it take place along the baltic

consider the evidence

"Eric" tries to kiss ariel in a "blue lagoon"

the location is apparently semi-tropical. here are the north and baltic coasts of denmark for contrast. no "lagoons" here

local wildlife include singing flamingos. here is the natural range of the flamingo

could they be from the private menagerie of the king of Denmark? perhaps. but this is suggestive that he at least kept them outside comfortably.

and lets consider "erics" attire.

the careful viewer will identify his dress as red sea rig, favored originally by the british navy and later in the diplomatic corps

no self-respecting royal would wear this attire north of hamburg

well. this is all very interesting. clearly the movie is set abroad.

in a danish colony.

heres a map of their empire. compare once more with the range of flamingos

the obvious site from contextual clues is the danish gold coast of africa

however, this doesnt work because red sea rig had barely been /invented/ in the mid 19th century, and rhe danish gold coast was sold off in 1850. plus the gold coast is arid rather than lush

no. this was further east on the far side of the indian ocean

everything fits. the nicobar islands were the last noneuropean colonies abandoned by the dutch, and they could have attended them in red sea rig in 1868. the sale to the uk is further convenient for two reasons

first of all, it explains why Eric would be on a far flung island in red sea rig at all. hes there to oversea the transfer of the islands to the british navy on behalf of his empire and hes wearing clothes to their standard. this is so neat i think its a deliberate tip by disney

second of all, it explains why everyone in a dutch colony is unexpectedly white

wouldnt you have local Help? not if everyone had died of infectious disease from the europeans, or if the europeans had a quarantine to avoid illness themselves

clearly the little mermaid is a story of colonialism and genocide. but that history you know. the truth in the little mermaid is much grimmer

heres a little question for you. if the little mermaid takes place on nicobar island . . . why are the mermaids white

to answer this question we need to revisit aquatic ape theory

AAT speculates that humans diverged from apes when they became more adapted to an aquatic environment. clearly in TLM, AAT was correct; and furthermore at least one branch of humans took it even further, evolving convergently with cetaceans

the most parsimonious explanation for why Eric and Ariel are (1) both white, (2) able to understand each others language, and (3) mutually attracted to one another rather than repulsed is that they share a recent common heritage both genetically and linguistically

put another way, eric and ariel are both offshoots of of the yamnaya expansion--and given their linguist proximity probably a recent wave too. most likely the same wave conquered local land populations, and then further intermixed with the local indigenous fish maidens

so fine: a recent common wave of aryan conquerors took both the land and the sea. the sea conquest took centuries and reached at least as far as nicobar, where a grandee set in place his kingdom

in his wake he left genocide

those indigenous fish people were not the only indigenous fish people. to get to nicobar King Triton's ancestors would have had to cut their way from the north sea, through biscay and around the cape of good hope, past egypt and lanka, slaughtering everyone in their path

TLM is a story drenched in an ocean of blood, a secret history mouldering behind a blithe animated romp like a murder victim immured beneath wallpaper

Eric imagines he is marrying into royalty, but he will bed a monster. His children will walk on land, yet their hearts will be the hearts of the Scourge-beneath-the-Waves

his wedding marks the start of a new age of Man. an age of blood and tears

anyway. just a little something to think about when you watch disney movies. never can be too sure what your feeding you kids and you dont want em to grow up. you know.

funny

cannot BELIEVE disney went woke on this. mfs are going to doom us all and they know EXACTLY what theyre doing
