Here's the entire video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln3fqPtyWpM

I dig the Unified High School playing "Born in the USA" and "God Bless America" at around 28 minutes.

“God Bless America”

Well, it certainly needs it these days. Actually the Springsteen tune is also more apt than ever, for completely different reasons.

Btw, I like how they have a pair of twins in the two personal transporters, creating that illusion. Some fun, clever stuff.

“Born in the USA” is a anti-Vietnam War song.

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Correct. Specifically, it's about veterans in need not being taken care of properly, a recurring theme these days in terms of many groups in need, the money typically being funneled away to the wealthy.

As was First Blood and maybe the first ten minutes of Rambo.

It’s like a less terrifying version of Frankie Teardrop by Suicide that you can get away with playing at parties.

That's what the founders intended, but it later got injected by the religious right.

Chaotic Evil Voice in my Head: "Yell out 'Look, it's Seven of Nine!'"

For a long second I was like "I love George Takei, but what does he has to do with Star Trek?"
