It's a black horror sci fi anthology series, and it's first episode is a really bad first impression of what the show is. Don't get me wrong, some episodes are massive duds, but I'd suggest giving it another shot, maybe watch a few of the highly regarded episodes to get a better impression.
I think a lot about the Bryce Dallas Howard episode where she’s constantly upvoted or downvoted. In addition to the critique of online culture, I think it’s a great analogy to the cycle of poverty and the difficulty of escaping it.
To me people need to realise it’s not left vs right it never has been. It’s always been us vs THEM. Say, I hear bugs life is a good movie. They say that the ants outnumber the grasshopper 100 to 1
Exactly, but since Repo leadership frames it right vs left, the base believes it. They want to see it that way, it's the only feeling of power they can access. I think that many, if not most on the left realize it's us (non-wealthy) vs them (wealth hoarders). And Bug's Life is brilliant.
I was just thinking tho. What's stopping us from using this platform for our videos? Sure, they can't be 5 minutes, but I had no trouble uploading a short one. We can still share our sections of the world right here. Why not?
Nah this is the backstory to the episode that we get in a flashback 12 minutes in. The episode officially starts when this shit gets some momentum, and a lot more people are having those nervous conversations that start - WTF is this now? In fact that is the first line in the episode. Let’s write.
I used to love post-apocalyptic movies from the 80's and 90's, now I see they were a portrait of things to come. I guess I always knew it as that is much of science fiction, but I never wanted to live it.
I've been going hardcore into my escapist coping mechanisms. My house is full of bread and fermented foods. Just trying to pretend nothing happening is real lol

I could do with a break 😂
Too real rather than a fictional escape.

Wait!
I got this.
'Howling Man' also has some relevance...
What we really need to unwind this plot is to go back to 1980 and get people to give Jimmy Carter a second term.
(He was always going to be nominated, even if Bobby lived.)
