Well, at the end of the day, at least we can both agree that you’re a fucking moron.

You can have the last word, if you wish. But I’m asking you to really think about what it takes for someone to uproot their life and leave their home to come here. Would we not try to provide for our families if we were in their shoes? Look into the histories of the countries people are emigrating from, and specifically look at how the United States has interfered with their self-governance. I think it’s ignorant and disrespectful to dig our fingers in their proverbial pie and then swat them away when they look for crumbs.

If you don’t think Musk both A) takes credit for creating things he didn’t create and B) attempts to manipulate society and the market for his own prosperity, then I’ve got a bridge to sell you. And it really doesn’t take much searching at all to read a litany of articles about similar charlatans. I mean, for fuck’s sake, even ignoring the Musk thing, the downfall of fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried literally just happened.

I agree the first movie clearly deals with the plight of immigrants in the United States. The threat of deportation, which is explicit in the film, is a daily real world concern for many people. But again, more than race, it’s also very clearly about the dynamics between labor and inherited wealth.

The point of the movie is that many “creative geniuses” are charlatans and that often people with exorbitant wealth didn’t earn it. So yes, I think you could make the same movie with Idris Elba and Matt Damon lmao. The fact that Helen is black and Miles is white adds subtext but it’s not the point of the film.

I don’t know what “woke racial formula” you’re talking about. You could swap Edward Norton with Idris Elba and it wouldn’t affect the plot in any way.

You’re upset that minorities are portrayed in a positive light, understood.

The only thing I’ve seen you say to back up its “racial agenda” is that the villain is white. Lmao OK. Maybe do some self-reflection if this raises your hackles so easily.
