In an age of social justice equality and idiocracy and universal awarding of trophies, let’s just call everyone equally idiotic.

“THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.” (1961)
~ Kurt Vonnegut, “Harrison Bergeron”

@ aka attrition, re: Schwarzenegger movie scene/meme

I never knew what that was, until just now. I’ve never watched most movies or TV shows. It’s predictive programming. So disgusting.

It’s unequivocally NOT in our natures to destroy ourselves. It takes incessant indoctrination and demoralization to convince us to submit to complicity in our self-destruction.
.

.
Don’t even watch that crap. How awful, telling boys at the dawn of manhood that they’re doomed and should simply go along to get another day.

Kill your TV (including that portable one in your pocket).

Sincerely,

An old man with no TV.

The clip is the boy asking a robot about the future of mankind who replies that it is in our nature to destroy ourselves referring to our tendency to always make war. I think that is not a totally unsupportable statement; man has always waged war and destroyed millions and millions over the millennia. The robot does not claim that we wont make it (makes no reference about that); only that war is in our nature. The boy, however, rises above this dismal view and survives and becomes a better man, a soldier, a resistance fighter and leader of men.

It was not a bad movie at the time, I thought. A commentary on the recklessness of technology for technology’s sake. A commentary on our warring nature. And a warning about AI.

Have not watched TV as such for many decades not least of which because early on I realized TV was the thief of time. And a brainwashing machine as you say. Same reason I dont read newspapers or listen to the radio. I do like the older movies though.

The clip of Yuri Bezmenov is very good.

Exactly. It’s not that what she says is incorrect or inaccurate, it’s that she appears to have the thought process/speech pattern of an elementary school aged child giving a book report in front of her class. See her explanation of the Ukraine for evidence.

Asked my dog to fact check the numbers (he’s taking 7th grade math this quarter):

“>500,000 miles of transmission lines, long enough to wrap around the earth more than 24 times” she says. Okay, let’s see-

C=pi x diameter, = 3.14 x ~7,913 miles, = ~ 24,847 miles

500,000 / 24,847 = 20.12. Close enough for government work; wondering where her staff copied those numbers? Gonna see if my dog can get on as a government statistician.

I thought it was just me. I think this is the first time though I have ever heard her speak rather than cackle. I could be biased as that is how most people speak to me. It gets very annoying, because I’m at least at a 6th grade comprehension level. Truthfully, you are supposed to speak / write at the intended audience and I’m not sure she was wrong as such.

One of the things that the CDC mob actually admitted — rather early on — was that the FauciFlu was NOT transmissible by touch … and that the million$ of gallon$ of $anitizer that had been sold were totally without justification or need …

But, as with the diapers — and, certainly, with the jabs — you just can’t cure stupid … or mentally defective …

I think I’d have to upset the entire flight and tell the flight attendant you are deplaning. They’d delay the flight to remove your checked bags and be sure you didn’t leave any explosives on board.

I’ll give the idiot on the plane credit for one thing – at least he’s also wearing gloves.

When the mask mandate first started, latex gloves were also strongly recommended to wear. Though nobody wore ’em after the first few days.

I’m surprised with Kamala’s understanding or electricity she is still around, and hasn’t stuck a fork in her toaster to get her toast out and electrocuted herself.
She failed to mention that electricity is generated (not made) in power plants, that mostly use coal, natural gas, and oil in the United States. Or what the greens hate even more than fossil fuels, nukes!
So much for green electricity.
