Happy secular non-denominational holiday season! “It’s a Wonderful Life” is a wonderful film that was an early entry in the psyop to make modern men unhappy in their lot. Its major psyop was fully revealed in “The Shining” and fully established in “Tomorrow War”. 1/
The defining characteristic of George is he wants to travel. Back then you couldn’t have your hero be a full on post-modernist orc who doesn’t value family etc.
So “wants to see the world” was the best you could do for your hero 2/
So the film turns it into more of a lark that he doesn’t want to be like his father. During the course of the film he has self loathing because he’s forced to be like his father bc of circumstances and duty. Modernists hate their dads, we see it all the time these days right? 3/
They soften the blow of George’s hating his father by having a dinner scene where George talks nice to him. Audience thinks “oh he doesn’t hate dad and not care about dad’s legacy bc he said nice words to him!” Keeps George as hero for audiences. 4/
Compare this to “Tomorrow War” in which Pratt hates dad openly yet is striving to become him. Pratt’s dad (idc what their characters are called) actually pulled what George Bailey wanted to do and ran off on his family BITD. Perhaps psyopped by IAWL or The Shining? 5/
Pratt in “tomorrow war” is unhappy in his lot just like George (“why do we have to have all these kids?!”) Pratt wants to be some kind of super STEM scientist or something (idk I fell asleep) but instead he has wife and kid. Notice it’s a Christmas film. 6/
Pratt is given Current Year sciencecult equivalent of an angel coming down from Heaven like IAWL to show you a world w/o you: he goes into the future. He sees how bad it would be if he shucks his dad responsibilities: aliens will eat the world bc his dau won’t be super general 7/
The cgi and action in “tomorrow war” is some of the worst and most boring crap I’ve ever seen. 8/
So anyway George wants to kill himself because he has a bad day. Modernists are suicidal. He’s a proto-modernist of sorts; the best Hollywood could present of the concept at that time. 9/
George is also liberal wrt integration and immigration. Film makers carefully thread the psyop needle with this by making Potter the foil and (((villain))), implying that George’s politics won’t lead to a future nightmare like Potter’s. They’re actually the same thing. 10/
The zogworld future (and present) shown in “tomorrow world” is exactly the sort of zogworld George’s AND Potter’s politics lead to. 11/
Jack in “the shining” is the final form of George Bailey. Stereotypical boomer played by a former hippy actor psyopped by IAWL & Woodstock world (the irl “Potterville”).
He fully hates his life and family and openly states how they hold him back. 12/
Kubrick however, unlike the loathsome Stephen king, doesn’t lie to audience. He shows Jack killing the magic bL11ckm4n because that’s the actual counterpoint to Potter’s politics. (The char survives the King book bc King WANTS voodoo etc to infect the general populace). 13/
Jack becomes locked in the anglo past the George’s dad would have defended. But its Christian elements are removed so it’s thus a curse and possession. His son, in King’s book, escapes to continue down the path of voodoo, modernism, self loathing, and zogworld. 14/
The final battle scenes in “tomorrow war” are actually quite good. Pratt’s dad comes back to help him. In these scenes the dad (who could basically be Jack from the shining) achieves redemption and makes his son realize he must accept his lot as a family man etc. 15/
We come full circle bc end of “tomorrow war” isn’t just about Pratt being content as a dad. It’s about him being contend with 9000th wave feminism (hashtag dr4ft 0ur d4ughters) & his m1nstrel bL111kmagicman friend. As such it erases the honesty of Kubrick & return to King 16/
Hollywood probably thought, with its communal message, IAWL was a pro commie film. We know of course that atomization and isolation was always the real danger (not means of production bs) so as such IAWL accidentally has an overall good message. 17/
Yet IAWL did successful psyop a few things in2 western audiences: most especially laying seed 4 atomization and a desire 2roam and reject fathers and fatherhood. Yet we do get one of the best anti (((values))) films I’ve ever seen. So it’s still five stars. Merry Christmas! 18/18

Dune Part 2 is an astonishing achievement in filmmaking that is ruined by the worst female love interest that has ever been put to screen. 1/ Image
The cinematography and action proves you can lean hard on cgi and still do amazing things. The arena/fight scene on Gedi Prime with washed out b&w and casual brutality is one of the most disconcerting things I’ve ever seen; and effectively sets up the alpha bad guy 2/

Even more than Lynch’s film, the fremen were effectively depicted as superhuman t4liban as Herbert imagined they must have been keeping the soviets out of Afghanistan. Probably bc we’ve since gotten rolled post 9/11 trying the same thing. 3/ Image

I knew in February of 2020 where were you?
Had actual conversations with @VassalOfChrist and others in March of 2020 where I said “so they’ll rush out this poisonous v4ccine and…”
I had to deal with “right wing” dorks getting mad at me saying stuff like “bro if trump oversaw the v44x its fine! If we don’t get behind it he’ll lose the election!”

Many Gen Z prob have subconscious hate for parents due to all their aborted bros and sisters
Then there’s the extra metaphysical humiliation of making Junior parrot your reasoning. “Oh it’s my moms body her choice,” he says with a metaphorical gun (mom’s conditional love) to his head.
Survivors’ guilt knowing he made it past assassin mom when his big bro didn’t bc mom wasn’t ready to settle down yet.

It’s occult creation of alternate dimension(s) which our rulers will control. With our screens we already live in it most of the time but meta will bring us there full time. Elfland but gh3y.
The spider egg dream in Bladerunner is about this. We are replicants insomuch as our rulers program our dreams, memory, and aspirations with popular culture and fake news. Image
It’s matrix obviously ofc, though it’s such a tired metaphor I loathe to use it. The robots using human body heat etc to make batteries was metaphor for the post covid lovkdown world. No one interacting yet somehow the Metaverse economy (and social) continuing on as golem Image
