Was there ever any doubt in your mind that this would happen? The moment I heard they were remaking Red Dawn, I knew it was over. I was born in the ex-USSR and let me tell you -- as ridiculous as some Soviet propoganda was, there was never a major motion picture release of a film depicting a US occupation of Russia. Plenty of other, perhaps equally insidious shyt, but NOTHING really analogous to the og Red Dawn.

I can only imagine the bullshyt they pulled in the reboot.

OG Red Dawn was a classic though...

I don't think you understand the gravity of what you're saying.

A lot of people talk about how certain elements of capitalist consumer culture are propoganda, and try to find elaborate conspiracy-esque ways to prove it.

You don't need to prove shyt with Red Dawn. Not only is it propaganda, but it's such a blatant, unsubtle, utterly tasteless form of propaganda that even the USSR doesn't really have anything like it.

I mean, Rocky IV? Okay. I'll buy it. But not Red Dawn.

You're absolutely correct. I can only imagine the psych-op level of largess this new film will inflict on the psyche of the American public.



I think you're downplaying the effects and real fear of Communism at the time though. Luckily humanity can look back now on that era and see Soviet Russia for what it was.
For decades it the specter of nuclear annihilation hung over the world, I don't think that should be forgotten.

Oh, I'm not downplaying anything -- you can't really compare the level of intimidation between the systems.

But the fact that such an unsubtle film would, in statist Russia, be considered an affront to the intelligence of the audience, speaks volumes. Red Dawn made BANK in the states. And the fact that even one such perverse fukking film was made in this country to a great reception should make everyone very, VERY afraid. More afraid than any horror story about Wal-Mart or McDonalds.

This is REAL propaganda. Like, you don't have to put on a tin foil hat to understand it; here the fukk it is.

I think America and American's were living in a much more innocent time compared to their contemporaries around the world that were reeling from World Wars, Political Instability and Death Squads.

Cacs are so easy to program. Toy soldiers. White man trying so hard to get the rest of us on their page. They literally believe what they see on tv.

Hopefully they never invade though. People been makin too many dikk jokes and piping too many asian women for them to have mercy :skip:

It was pretty easy to program you to knock up some chick out of wedlock.

Oh yeah you're white

Cacs always on that fukk shyt, and when you do the same to them they're like : get over it, stop being racist/sensitive, my family had nothing to do with slavery...etc

But they don't feel remorse in generalizing other groups, fukk them.
