I did. We all did. Still happy to see it.
Korean cinema has really seemed to break through in the US since Parasite. I will say I am not very exposed to Korean culture outside of what makes it over the Pacific to bleed into US culture. Which in my opinion makes it all the more impressive that two anti-capitalist Korean productions became international sensations after exploding in the US.
Can you all feel it? They tried to make us feel like the energy was gone, but itâs still there, and itâs not just Squid Game thatâs showing it.
EDIT - on a show related note, Oh-Il Nam was a total surprise to me, biggest twist Iâd say.
The fed has admitted to inflation above 5% for 4 straight months now - last time that happened was before 2008.
When the market crashes soon (or the dollar crashes, either way) itâs not gonna feel faint anymore, not this time. Too much gunpowder has been poured on the entire situation, and try as they might they just canât seem to force Americans back into the happy-pre-covid ignorance days as easily
Thatâs when Boston Dynamics Amphibious Sexual Assault Dogs and the FBI spy planes come out. The moment you even doubt capitalism the NSA panopticon is going to come down on you like a boulder on an ant. Thereâs going to be like 15 guys in full deathstronaut gear pouring from every corner of the country into your living room. Thereâs going to trucks preemptively soaking every neighborhood with teargas laden water. Thereâs going to be LRADâs spouting every imagineable anti communist propaganda ever, and when you try to Google search âhow to make molotov cocktailâ thereâs going to be a captcha asking you to debunk anti communist talking points with a timer and if you spell one thing wrong the Delta Force operator hanging from the ceiling will pour his Black Rifle coffee on you
This comment reminded me of Robert Evanâs After the Revolution for some reason.
But yeah, hellworld⌠not sure what else to say lol
As funny as this description was, the US really showed itâs whole ass during the BLM riots nationwide.
They barely have the capacity to deal with domestic dissent anymore. Without deploying the entire apparatus (which may even worsen the situation), they are without a hope of victory.

just wait until they start using live ammo and just start gunning us down
Yep, guess who owns a large portion of Bitcoin and Crypto now? All your favorite banks and hedge funds. And guess what they like to do during market crashes? Sell to oblivion and then buy even more at the bottom.
Thatâs a no thank you from me for crypto as long as itâs tied to the USD which the fed literally prints double existing supply every year and then decides who to give it to.
Crypto has been tied to the first for a while now. Itâs the only reason itâs worth anything. Also the reason or needs to be do energy intensive, itâs literally petro-dollar 2.0. Only this time instead of being backed by car consumption, itâs backed by something that canât even be remotely linked to human enterprise.
