The scariest thing about Don’t Look Up is that as absurd as it is, it barely exaggerates. Much of our political elite are just as greedy and foolish, our media just as vapid, and our response to impending disaster exactly as mind-bogglingly irrational as in the movie.
What's funny is that the main characters did all the shit libs want activists to do to make changes (networking, fundraisers, social media), and they still get fucked over. Funny what that says about how liberals actually think their democracy works (i.e it doesn't but oh well you get to die with your families- like, great, I'd like my family to live thank you).
Also realizing that all the animals die (and seeing a floating whale head in space) hit me really, really fucking hard, also that scene with the siberian shaman, too.
Fuck, can anyone recommend some bright-futured socialist movies to watch instead?
