I watched Demolition Man for the first time
posted 2 years ago by Smith1980 2 years ago by Smith1980 +75 / -0

I watch Demolition Man for the first time the other night. I always heard people say it predicts our current time and I definitely see that. The fines for profanity were funny, but hate speech laws are worse than that. Also the banning of meat and and salt

Demolition Man, 1984, Brave New World, and evangelicals were all correct in their predictions but wrong in they didn't realize how bad it would get. Probably the only one who got it right was that Civil War era Confederate (I forgot his name) who predicted progress would lead to transgenderism.

Few years ago on a polish subreddit users had a argument about dystopian books (which was locked of course, because one guy as an example of doublethink mentioned how everyone knows a guy in a dress is a guy but can't say it out loud).

I had an argument with a mod about Brave New World and provided few examples about how people today are slaves to dopamine and lack any kind of self-restraint. Of course I was downvoted to oblivion, but what made me angry was not the dislikes and overall rudeness of NPCs towards me, but the idiotic take from the moderator:

"Brave New World is a book about everyone being happy and one idiot having a problem with it"

I fucking hate those people

Never heard of that movie. I heard of the movie CSA which basically is a documentary in a world where the south won.

That movie was hilarious. It was meant to mock southern, conservatives, and Christians but ended up showing them as pretty based. Much like the starship troopers film
