His people spent all morning going on the Sunday news shows, telling everyone this isn't a war and everything is complete. Then he just drops "You know what? Why shouldn't we coup Iran?"

Sounds like you want to stay in the comedy-action-horror triangle, maybe with a little bit of room for a thriller. I wouldn't overthink it.

If everyone liked Rear Window try Under the Silver Lake. Male loneliness + Hollywood exploitation + Billionaire conspiracy. The movie itself has hidden messages and codes in it. Nothing subtly communist though. More like 70s paranoia but for today.

The Blob (1988) is supposed to be a nice inversion of the original, and counter to cold war sentiments of the time. I can't vouch because I have yet to watch it.

Enemy of the State, classic 90s Will Smith and Gene Hackman being an unofficial older version of his character in The Conversation. It has a faster pace and a bit more action than The Conversation. It got a jump on the post-9/11 surveillance state stuff.

None of these are particularly communist. However they might incept your friends with the idea that the government and elites are corrupt and dangerous.

There should be a whole sector of Hollywood that is just casting Henry Cavil in nerd things. Plus a podcast. He could also live stream his nerd shit. Make it a whole network. They would make so much money.

This is like one of those puzzles where you have to connect all the houses to the utilities using one line. How do you scratch in such a way that you hit all the areas with one stroke

Trump is not selling federal lands to real estate developers. If you had a political memory that held more than the past two weeks of r/politics threads, you would know that is a long-term goal of libertarians going back to, at least, the 70s. You know what else was a thing in the 70s? Fucking with Iran. All this stuff Trump does is just shit other ghouls bring to his desk. He's not personally coming up with these ideas.

If having Democrat presidents is the key to stop this long-term plan, why the fuck hasn't it been stopped? Let's just go with Obama. What did Obama do to stop this? He let a militia hold federal land and get away with it. What did Clinton do? What did Carter do? How come voting for Democrats didn't work all this time but Kamala would have been the one to do it? Did she say anything during the campaign about bolstering the protection of federal lands? Did you write her a letter asking what her plans were since your hiking trails are the only thing keeping you alive?

Now apply this to every fucking issue. Healthcare, drugs, crime, war, immigration. Somehow the most recent Democratic nominee was the key to stopping all the bad shit in the world but none of the previous Democratic presidents bear any blame for not stopping it earlier. I didn't even bring up Biden, the most recent Democratic president, because he did NOTHING. He was a husk in a chair, staring out of the window the whole time. So even when Kamala was VP, she didn't do shit to help federal lands. Fuck you.

Also, if having access to federal land is the only thing keeping you alive, buy a gun and go defend it. You have nothing to lose. You either get to keep access to the land or you die, which you were going to do anyways.

Under Kamala:

  1. "We have intelligence that says Iran has WMDs"
  2. "We're forming a committee to assess action"
  3. "The committee of Iraq and Afghanistan war criminals deems that we should strongly consider action. I am taking this under consideration."
  4. "We're going to increase military presence in the area while we decide."
  5. "We're going to tactically target nuclear proliferation sites using Raytheon's new LLM designed and guided missiles."
  6. You are here

Same shit.
