As the garbage terrorists of Hamas are being annihilated – Yah! – we are seeing more and more protest actions around the United States by angry Palesimpians that seem oddly focused on normal people. They block roads, deface monuments, and disrupt Christmas, all acts that hassle normal folks but do nothing to help their scumbag murderer friends in the self-created hellhole of Gaza. Why?
Time to reflect on Godzilla, King of the Monsters, and how Hollywood fails.
Demonstrations Of Dominance
You might think that actions like blocking people from getting to the airport at Christmas might be counterproductive if you are trying to convince normal people to support your rapist coward garbage Palestinian pals. We are seeing a lot of this crap lately. The road-blocking thing has gotten popular. A bunch of misfits get out on the street and stand there, blocking traffic. But there are also the event disruptions, whether in classrooms or malls or wherever, as well as the vandalism of monuments and buildings. Who gets blocked? Who gets disrupted? Working people. It’s regular folks who have to put up with it.
It’s not just the inconvenience of the act of stopping traffic or the interference in events that makes this galling. It’s the message it sends – that you are powerless, that you must submit. It is about domination. That is the message – they rule, you drool. These acts do not seem to happen in, say, Florida, where these scuzzes might actually have to do jail time. They happen largely in blue states, or in blue cities in free states, where the Soros DAs will never prosecute them. They will prosecute you, though, if you resist. Say you grab some deviant who is squatting on the interstate while you are trying to get to work and drag their nonbinary carcass off to the shoulder by their greasy hair. You would be the one prosecuted. The victim, not the perpetrator.
And people are annoyed by it. It adds to the anger that is already out there. Social contract theory gets a bit of criticism, but the reality is that when people give up their right to do for themselves — in favor of the government acting when problems arise — they expect the government to act when problems arise. When the government refuses to, mostly because those in power sympathize with the criminals and hate normal people like you, the anger builds. It has been building, and it will continue to.
Is it going to erupt anytime soon? Maybe soon, but certainly later. It cannot go on like this. We are seeing some of the consequences of the breakdown of the rules. In the not-unrelated Trump ballot situation, we have a little conservative kerfuffle over the proper response. Some cons think that the proper response, if this idiocy is not remedied by the courts, is to use red state courts to similarly find that Biden has committed ”insurrection.” If the rule is that a court can simply do that by whim, as was done in Colorado, why not exercise our own whims? There are conservatives who argue that we should never do this, that we cannot stoop to their level. Except we will. Human nature demands it. Even if so inclined, we might be able to forthrightly suffer the abuses and oppression that come with refusing to play by the New Rules for a little while, but it cannot last. People are just not designed to accept defeat within a rigged system.
The New Rules will prevail. And the idiots blocking your highway may well find that the old rules keeping them from the fury of the people they abuse are no longer there to protect them. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but it is coming.
Oh well.
Godzilla Rules
The weirdness of the new Godzilla movie “Godzilla Minus One” being talked about as award-worthy is pretty amusing for those of us who grew up watching the giant lizard rampage on those channels at the far end of the UHF spectrum. The cheesiness of the monster suits and the cardboard sets they crushed were part of the fun. Apparently, those are now gone and have been replaced by CGI. However, the new one – made by the original Japanese studio Toho – is still low-budget, coming in at just $15 million.
Not so those horrible, bloated $200 million dollar American ones recently released by the major studios. Ugh, what a joyless exercise they are. You can see the money up there on the screen and it’s still boring and dull. The Godzilla Cinematic Universe also features King Kong, not the fun one from the 1933 classic but a CGI superhero who jumps and flies and defies gravity. Godzilla himself in these is unrecognizable, with a cruddy design that is 100 times more expensive but has 1/100th the heart of the original from such glorious outings as “Destroy All Monsters” and “Monster Zero” (inexplicably changed to now be called “Invasion of Astro-Monster”).
“Minus One” apparently aside – I have not yet gotten to see it – the modern monster flicks suffer the same problem so much modern moviemaking suffers from. These movies do not know what they are about. A Godzilla movie is about Godzilla. Instead, the cinematic universe is about lame characters played by charisma-free actors exploring their feels. There is a Godzilla TV series on Apple TV+ now. I watched the first episode. Guess what was missing? Godzilla. Seriously. The whole first hour was about either a girlboss exploring her family secrets, which did not appear to be Godzilla-centric, or another girlboss who shows the two men she is with how lame they are. Ugh.
Hollywood, please stop making things suck.
