The Twilight Zone was ahead of its time. It knew how vulnerable people could be by making tiny changes in their lives. They were great at detailing how certain minds reacted to strange scenarios.
The human experience or in Putin’s realm…the human experiment. As a KGB he was an expert in F’ing minds.
It wasn’t only The Twilight Zone. Star Trek addressed cultural issues of racism and inequality in the ‘60’s in a way never addressed on television. There were only 3 channels back then. They even revisited Nazi Germany on one episode.
My dad was a Star Trek fan. I enjoyed the odd episodes that had the Twilight Zone feel to them. The episode would leave you with an uneasy thought provoking experience.
Thank you for the conversation. This is the last place I will give social media a chance since has devolved into a mostly non-productive method of communication across platforms. BlueSky may be an exception, but history of social media has become the platform of ads and subscriptions for the wealthy
Exactly. We thought back in those days after the Civil Rights Act, the protests against the war in Vietnam, that we were headed toward a future that included everyone, a new future without war, less racism. When Musk came out with the same view, people wanted to believe. He is not that.
This is unrelated to the meme, I’m sorry, but I came here to say you were right. About the election being rigged. Trump just confessed. Go look up the video if you’re interested it is honestly wild. I’m speechless
I heard that. This whole thing makes me ill. I watched the campaigns, I listened to his insane bs, I saw the dwindling crowd size while Kamala’s were invigorating and explosive and maxed out in numbers. The results didn’t add up nor sit right with me, never has. Somehow this election was flipped.
Here's an actual quote: "For the record, prejudices can kill, and suspicion can destroy; and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is, that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone."
