Just cuz I'm drunk and bored (and I'm probably the only person who'll argue this with you). The new watchmen series was perfect to me. From completely misunderstanding rorschach and turning his message into hate and the background theme from both that was the changing of times. People are idiots. I don't get how you didn't at least hate watch this. Dr. Manhattan was incredibly shortsighted in the original material too. Either that or he just meekly accepted fate. Hence rorschach's death. That's another argument on its own tho...

I had fun with it. It was the ds9 (or ultima) of watchmen to me. Subervting values from the original to see how they hold up. I didn't see the agenda in the show like I did with Picard but I'm also nowhere near as attached to the source material here.

new watchmen is about 1 thing. social justice. it's a despicable thing imo, because it's intersectionality and tribalism. (intersectionality is them basically going "but im not JUST black, im also a WOMAN, therefore im double oppressed! cos my oppression intersects all these oppressed groups. oh but you're WHITE and from the WEST, and STRAIGHT, so we'll treat you like this regardless of your character. i think it's a really grim way to see the world, and if it's adopted on mass, there will be war after war after war, and injustice after injustice..)

original watchmen is about different perspectives, and humanity. it's not about society, it's about humanity...

it's the same with like mad max. like, i guess people just watch them in different ways, but i dont care how many explosions and cars they put on screen, it doesn't change what it is. it really, genuinely disgusts me. it would on it's own, but to take pieces of art, and turn them into that... it's terrible.. really.

when did "the human condition" stop being the focus... when did it become about 'society' instead.. i barely even see them *as* human anymore. they're drones. of all genders and colours btw.

there are still humans around, but they're few and far between.. turning people into that is certainly not the focus of the education system...
they want workers and consumers.. and i guess these shows are just how they understand the world. what they dont seem to understand is they're torturing themselves.

honestly it is undoing hundreds, if not thousands of years of human progress.. we ended racism, we were heading to the age of enlightenment.. then we important millions of people with the old ideology, and now we're back to this shit. they're even using it as an excuse to take away what i class as free education, in the form of free information on the internet. they ended judging people on the content of their character when they ended anonymity... it's all really bad man.. and this shit is their perspective, it's what they want to be the new normal..

thousands of years man.. all the civil wars and revolts.. all the martys like mlk, jesus, tesla, socrates.. all erased.. it's some seriously 1984 shit.
like, ya dont understand how bad it is to go backwards to that perspective again.


and ya know what the worst part is? i know why they're doing it... it's fuckin, Machiavelli shit... which to me is like the the anti-christ, cos he's a logical justification for smart people screwing over dumb people, allegedly for their own good.. cos he doesn't think people are capable of being decent.. so instead of trying to teach people to be like, age of enlightenment people, he want to treat you like cattle..
you put him with nietzsche and it twists into some really fked up shit.

i think it's kinda cool to use an analogy of the body as a society, as an analogy of the server as a society as a body... as a society :lol:

Are you sure you're not talking about Picard? :lol:

I thought the themes from the original where still there with a change to a more modern political landscape. Maybe because that whole thing is fucked anyways I didn't see the social justice aspect. It just felt like a story someone wanted to tell in that universe. The homosexuality stuff was in the original so that didn't feel forced to me. I don't remember any racist stuff in the original so that did feel off a bit. Until you got to the plot with the Klan. That shit was good corny fun.

like honestly this is the thing.
it's not that people like Trump.
it's not that people hate foreigners.

but the left at the moment is genuinely dangerous. they are idealogs that dont understand their ideologies are going to hurt a lot of people. the current system isn't perfect, but it's A LOT better than nothing, and it took us thousands of years to get it.



like, our culture, our history, our laws, our politics, our myths and legends.. it's what we are, much more than race. it's precious, and it's under attack.

that is why people vote how they vote. to say they're hateful racists is just... well it's propaganda, there's literally a word for it.

like, if you normalize non-reproductive based sexuality, get rid of the police force, segregate everyone into racial tribes, scrap the democratic system and make political violence okay, erase all the history... etc.
how is that not exactly what we had like 5000 years ago?
these people are literally, *literally*, LITERALLY, destroying civilization itself.
like not even changing it into something else. destroying civilization... that is what they want. i dont even..

and what is their excuse?? that civilization is a white people thing. what. the. fuck.
cos we didn't immediately say to the africans that it was fucked up to have slaves, 2000 years after we had been slaves. which took us 100 years to reconsider...

like these people think they are socialists and communists.. they're anarchists. or i suppose anarco-communists?
ya know when i read marx i couldn't really see how things could get so twisted to produce crap like stalin and china. now i get it.

"eat the rich."
"kill the bourgeoisie."
"gas the jews..." it's all the same shit.
