Yesterday, Michael Lind wrote an article for AlterNet wondering aloud how it is that today’s “doltish” conservatives have adopted the ridiculous philosophies of Ayn Rand (Alissa Rosenbaum) while noted conservatives of yesteryear considered her “preposterous”
I immediately formulated at least a partial answer to that question and as I was writing it out this morning, I happened across a video review of Elysium by Di$info Jones (video below) which proves my point to an almost cartoonish degree.
In short, Di$info says the film is beautifully filmed and well written, but it’s a piece of elitist’s propaganda to promote their ultimate goal of a ‘socialist/communist collectivism” and that it’s “the most racist film since Birth of a Nation” with “the mark of the beast” tossed in for good measure.
He goes on to rant about all the heroes in the film being brown “Latinos” and all the villains being white (except for the protagonist… Matt Damon… who can’t possibly get any whiter. In fact, he looks like a skin-head in the movie)
