Laws are written to be manipulated, that's why European culture uses laws and words as weapons, for European culture loves words to be twisted. This is why the "truth" always changes in the European mind, look no further than their use of "treaties" or "truces" or their fad-politics. Whether it's far-right capitalism or left-wing socialism, I fail to see the difference when they both rely on "production at all costs" at the expense of our natural world and turning our habitable environments into gravel pits and uranium mines all in the name of "productivity." The global south, or "third world", and natural peoples will all be capitalist workerbees or socialist proletarian under the European death-cult of "productivity" as they call it; I call it a culture of suicide with a medieval religious devotion to their faith except now it's shifted to science, technology, and money - just another example of how the truth always changes. They're incapable of any real thought, incapable of simply appreciating the magic of nature to admire a lake or mountain or people in being, and most of all they cannot listen unless the world around them is despiritualized into mechanical models and dead symbols written on dead leaves.

To me I don't see the shift towards left-wing, even the death of capitalism, to be revolutionary. It may be yet another revolution for the European mind, but to the rest of the world it's merely a continuation. In order for humanity to live in harmony with nature, European culture must die.

Yes, that's the current situation, thanks for pointing that out. I don't think people understand how much tax evasion they do, for instance as of 2016 there was £36 TRILLION in offshore tax havens, UK GDP is £25 trillion for comparison. Murder in the first degree can get you prison for life, but letting countless people die from poverty related issues at home while getting rich off of starving and killing kids overseas makes you a billionaire. Why do we accept that?

Hopefully the corrupt ones go to China or Vietnam because they're not afraid to give corrupt billionaires the death penalty.

I'll never look at this scene the same way again.

You may not be wrong, but that doesn't make you right.

Crazy how much people at large have moved past the whole religious zealotry thing, but the people in charge are still having their holy wars and crusades, fulfilling their biblical prophecies and "divine right." I thought for those in charge this whole religion thing was just a mechanism for power, what's crazy to me is it actually looks like they believe that shit.

By definition that makes them all rightwing authoritarians aka fascists, which checks out.

they can’t hold back much more than one person each if those people want through.

Keyword "IF" those people want through. A lot of people still seem to think the world would crumble without billionaires, but that vibe is visibly shifting which is nice to see.

What a "centrist" guy this billionaire Trump supporter is.

Alien 1: "The humans appear to be sacrificing their whole species for their god."

Alien 2: "Which god? Yahweh? Abraham? Krishna?"

Alien 1: "No, it appears to be called 'Money.' Even their so-called atheists worship it, perhaps especially so."

'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina' was probably my favourite movie this year and there were only like 10 other people in the theater on release night, which is suprising for such a good action flick from a popular franchise.
