The ending to our two-part analysis of Death Stranding as a bluepilled take on the current American civil war focuses on characters who came to the forefront at the end of the game. As such, this is going to be SPOILER CENTRAL. Play this fantastic game before you ruin it by reading this senses-shattering piece. If you want something relatively spoiler-free, check out the first part of my Death Stranding analysis. It is also senses-shattering, and has actually ruined many lives.
As for the ending to Death Stranding, one can't help but notice that Sam has to pick up a gun in order to save the day. Actually, not just guns, but freaking bazookas and other advanced state of the art bang-bangs. As for package handling, it was great to see the new type of gameplay that Death Stranding had to offer, but ultimately, force is required in order to solve problems, which is why the latter part of Death Stranding is a bullet-fueled battle to the death. It could be no other way. As old age advances and the testosterone drains from Kojima's body, it makes sense that he would want to tell a story about connecting rather than killing, but in the end he must acknowledge the truth: War is the only thing that's real. War isn't an unfortunate breakdown of peace, but rather, peace is a temporary break from the endless war to survive. We don't define ourselves by sleep, but by action, and so it is that even bluepilled bug connoisseur Sam Bridges must pick up a gun and annihilate the opposition!
For this character analysis, we're going to start with an exceedingly spicy contender.
Higgs, the God Particle
Higgs may not be the primary antagonist, but he is the main "bad guy" of our story. He's the evil force that must be stomped flat. This guy really bends and twists my theory out of place, but I don't think he breaks it. Because Death Stranding leans left, Higgs has a lot of right-wing tendencies. He looks like a commando, he waves a gun around, he's a conspiracy theorist, etc. However, Kojima is a very honest storyteller, and you can't tell an honest story and also make it lean left, as it'll just be propaganda. That means Higgs also has a lot of weird lefty stuff going on, too. He's complicated, so let's dive in.
As Sam fights to make real the dream of Hillary Clinton – I mean, Bridget Strand – and connect America through the chiral network, Higgs reveals that he wants the chiral network completed. This highlights the intense fear of liberals that the wonderfully progressive world they are building will be taken over by right-wing fanatics. Specifically, they don't like conservatives using the internet as a place to argue about ideas. The Big Tech left wants the internet to be a living document filled with cat pics, cuck porn, ads from giant globalist corporations using diversity to sell products, and of course e-thots shilling their gamer girl bathwater. The LAST thing they want is people arguing about the best way to govern themselves. Why is that? Well, I'll give you a hint: Unrestricted discussions on self-determination always lead to nationalism, not pro-diversity melting pots, as all unrestricted web sites tend to shift right. Only strict monitoring and censorship can maintain the tender, genteel nature of left-leaning forums.
So Higgs is glad when Sam completes the chiral network. In his interview, Higgs says, "Death and destruction are part and parcel of the human condition, and bringing people together only exacerbates that." Higgs is in right-wing mode, and his statement directly parallels mayor of London Sadiq Khan's ruthlessly liberal statement, "Terrorism is just part and parcel of living in a big city." This statement is often brought up by those on the right to show how intensely cruel and bottom-line oriented liberals can be when it comes to choosing between diversity or safety (or progressive dystopia versus traditionalism). So far, Higgs is the perfect bogeyman for a left-leaning story.
Now let's complicate things and look at Higgs's creepy lefty nature. First off, he's named after the Higgs Boson particle, which was so important to normie Reddit "pro-science" types that they called it the God Particle. Remember, even as left-leaning types scoff at the idea of God (unless it's a touchy-feely New Age ball of light or a goddess), they are still driven by a desperate desire to be taken as serious as Christianity was in the medieval era. Science is their religion, but not even science in terms of investigating the universe, but science as a collection of orthodoxy that must be defended at all costs. These are people who have seen very little of the world and don't study history, but will become insane with rage if they hear that someone believes the earth is housed inside a big dome made of plywood with stars painted on the inside. To them, the materialistic world view of Star Trek *must* be true… or else!
Higgs is an "atomized" man, disconnected from others and able to communicate only through violence. To him, the connections made by others only give him more opportunity to deceive and take advantage. He hates the world and wants it to end. You could say that he has an anti-spiritual nature, which would place him well outside of a traditionalist paradigm, as it's hard to find a traditional belief system that doesn't focus on the creation of the world by one God or many gods. You might think that his Egyptian regalia would complicate things further, but I don't think it does. Egyptian mythology may have been one thing in the past, but in our modern world, it is perhaps the most important set of iconography used by the… well, let's just call it the Illuminati. Who the hell knows what they're actually called? But you know what I mean – occult Hollywood Masonic types who are constantly covering one eye, going to weird parties dressed up as Sith acolytes, and starring in movies and music videos showing evil priests and bigoted Christians. At this point it's no longer even hidden, although you're still considered crazy if you talk about it.
Point being, Higgs kind of makes a perfect *left* leaning villain because he wears an Egyptian cape, is named after a particle made on accident without divine influence, and wants to watch the world burn. Even better, his incubator doesn't even have a living baby in it – he carries a lifeless doll made with black market tech. His baby has, in a sense, been "aborted". He even shoots at Lou – he must think of our cutie as nothing but a "clump of cells"!
Okay, now let's go even deeper. Believe it or not, we've been in normie-friendly territory so far. It's about to get weird. The thing is, at the end of the game you find out that one of your clients, mild-mannered pizza-enthusiast Peter Engler, is in fact your arch-villain Higgs. When you go through Peter Engler's emails after you find this out, his excitement regarding pizza is no longer mildly amusing, but freaking weird and creepy. That's because… you guessed it… Higgs is part of the PizzaGate conspiracy! He's one of *them*!
For those of you who don't know, here's a little background. The Podesta email leak was riddled with high-level Democrats making some pretty obviously coded references, most of them pizza-based. The emails revealed a link to James Alefantis, owner of a DC pizza joint which had a… let's say… a very interesting history and Instagram account. Despite running a small pizza joint, he had connections to powerful people all around the world. Right-wing types capable of seeing patterns went running with the narrative of the pizza joint being used as a child sex trafficking hub, and left-wing types formed a phalanx shield wall to protect some of the weirdest people imaginable.
From this perspective, Higgs's "Peter Engler" pseudonym takes on an incredibly sinister tone, especially when you finally enter his bunker and realize he was obsessed with Sam Bridges. He even has a photo of Sam wrecking his bike with the comment "LOL" written beside it, which actually is pretty lolworthy. Actually this should be disturbing to both the right and the left. From a liberal perspective, a conspiracy theorist is one of the worst things a person can be. Pedophiles and murderers can always be forgiven, but a conspiracy theorist is, from their perspective, truly reprehensible and even dangerous. And from a conservative perspective, the fact that Higgs has photos of Sam with lines connecting them with bizarre text descriptions is similar to internet shills, people paid to roam the internet and take screenshots of conservatives being "politically incorrect". Conservative types like Nick Fuentes often note how these people bring up screenshots of spicy twitter commentary or video clips that are years old, and it's like, how did these people find this stuff? How did they organize it, for that matter? The fact that it must be a paid gig for these people is actually the *least* disturbing scenario, as imagining someone using their free time to monitor the internet for instances of wrongthink is just straight up nauseating.

This may be too much detail, but Higgs's pseudonym, Peter Engler, translates to "stone angel" (peter = Greek petros, for stone, and Engler is derived from the German engel or angel). Thus Higgs is highlighting his nature as a fallen angel cast down to the earth. Also, as long as we're breaking down names, I wouldn't be the first person to point out that the central figure of the PizzaGate conspiracy, James Alefantis, is a pseudonym derived from the French phrase "j'aime les enfants" or "I love children". Which would make sense, since he's actually a Rothschild, a member of one of the most notorious families in conspiracy canon!
Also, if Higgs is a child violator, then it would make sense for him to unnaturally age Fragile's body. From his perspective, making someone old is the cruelest thing imaginable!
Before we climb out of the Higgs rabbit hole, let me say that one of the coolest things you can do is make Sam wear a red Bridges hat at the end of the game. Even though Sam is super bluepilled and can literally eat bugs to survive the battle with Higgs (it doesn't get any more bluepilled than cockroach soyburgers), if you put him in a red hat, then it looks like the final battle is taking place between God's anointed MAGA-lovin' Bible-thumpin' Budweiser-chuggin' nationalistic blue collar Boomer champion versus an Egyptian Talmudic sorcerer supreme "pizza"-mongerin' drug-abusin' Crowley occult disciple globalist elitist. It's seriously epic. Just imagine a movie made in 2100 AD about our era, the details are off a little but the movie shows Trump grappling with George Soros in hand-to-hand combat… point being, that's kind of what the final battle looks like. I would have recorded it myself but, sadly, I'm kind of an idiot! Just trust me and put on the red hat!
Unfortunately the bug-eating in the end is pretty demoralizing. Since my gaming skills aren't going to improve anytime soon, which makes eating bugs a necessity, I'll just have to pray for some DLC where the bug-eating sequence at the end is replaced with Sam gobblin' Monsanto-burgers thrown at him by the ghost of Kazuhira Miller.
Cliff Unger Is the Right-Wing Ideal… Kill Him!!!
Cliff is the definition of a soldier and a family man, a father willing to do anything to protect the next generation. Kojima does a great job of treating him in a respectful manner, but since the narrative thrust of the story is bluepilled, Cliff ends up damning himself. To quote him: "I was just like any other cliff. A dead end, no way forward. Nothing but an obstacle – looking on at the world people like you were trying to build. Dividing people was the only thing I was ever good at."
Dividing people? Yeah, right! Cliff is an alpha male with a warrior spirit. God makes people like Cliff so that nations can be protected from invaders. It's not like Cliff was on the sidelines master-minding race wars and false flag attacks and border squabbles. Bluepilled liberals always imagine that evil racists are opposing them out of pure hatred and stupidity, but guys like Cliff who put their ass on the line make it possible for utopian idealists to post cringe without having to worry about invaders barging in and turning them into pinatas. (Of course, the danger of being turned into a pinata increases in direct proportion to voting for open borders.)
Cliff's last words are, "It's all my fault," which is in line with conservatives placing the onus of responsibility on themselves, even to the point of blaming themselves when things fall apart. Conservatives (especially Christian ones) believe that mankind has a sinful nature – that is, people are flawed. They're imperfect. That's why utopias never work. You can't immanentize the eschaton, as big brain types like to say. You have to work with the world as it is rather than dream of the world being something that it's not. It's sad that Cliff is technically a villain, a boss who must be beaten, but then again, I guess it's better that we get to see a red-blooded redpilled red-meat-eatin' son of a bitch who lives in an endless war fantasy rather than a whiny bluepilled bluehair who scowls at Sam and says everything is the fault of men, or white people, or old people, or straight people, or the rich, or Christians – basically, anyone but himself!
In Cliff Unger's endless dream of war, he has baby dolls (fake BBs) strung up all over the place, and he obsesses over his lost baby. This, plus his devotion to his comatose wife, is a great reminder that men who are militant and take border security seriously are driven by an intense desire to protect. That instinct is the force that gives life to conservative thought; conservative means of course "to conserve". Liberals are driven by other forces. They do not have this violent protective drive, or they have it only in a very stunted manner. In fact, the drive to use force to protect family and culture and nation is so foreign to liberals that they can really only see it as racism, a totally outdated, backward, knee-jerk hatred of the unknown. In other words, they consider it a bestial drive that we need to "progress" beyond.
Cliff has way more in common with Solid Snake than with Sam, who would rather peacefully move packages or hang out in his room with his figurine collection. The basic idea of Clifford is that he's a real man from the past, something anachronistic that our bluepilled hero needs to overcome. But in order to overcome him, Sam must become like him, which means he has to use state of the art pew pews and big dick bang bangs and even grenades filled with literal feces.
Even though you have to "overcome" Cliff, I have to reiterate that Kojima treats this antagonist with a great deal of respect. Most bluepilled types would not. I remember reading Marvel comics in the 90s, and a lot of it was total propaganda filled with whacko nationalist bad guys. Comics only got progressively worse. I remember glancing through a Wolverine comic a few years ago, and saw him facing off against some giant, obese white guy with an American flag tattooed on his face. The guy was leering at Wolverine with unrestrained villainy, his body no doubt bloated from a diet of hatred for all things un-American. He would have worn a MAGA hat if such a thing had been invented yet, but alas, this was in the early 2010s when I saw this particular comic. The point is, if Kojima had grown up taking a daily dose of bluepills, that's probably what Cliff Unger would have been. Thankfully Kojima has only lately taken a handful of bluepills, so his incredible body-mind-soul matrix are still functioning within acceptable parameters.
One more thing about Clifford Unger. Note that he mentions space and the moon. He thinks space exploration is cool, and is something that we should start doing again. This reminds me of Alex Jones saying that it's our duty to conquer the stars, a concept I've always been obsessed with. I hate to say it, but liberals really only care about space insofar as it provides them yet another field of orthodoxy they can monitor and make sure no wrongthink is occurring. The idea of weaponizing Space Force, tackling alien species, crushing opponents and siding with powerful and like-minded allies, exploiting the resources of other worlds, and basically spreading our dominance throughout the cosmos is foreign to the left-leaning mindset.
If space exploration isn't an enlightened Star Trek circle-jerk, they ain't interested!
Amelie, the Cult of Child Sacrifice, and Feminism
At the end of the game, Sam reaches California, the end goal of so many who dream of fame and fortune. Surrounded by demonic predators, he makes his way through streets flooded with black tar. This makes sense when you consider that Hollywood is the capital of the bizarre alternate dimension where the Illuminati spin endless cinema stories that tend to be anti-American and anti-Christian and pro-everything that leans left. In the based 80s California was a beautiful paradise, but now it's a dump that people can't get away from fast enough, and the poor people who are stuck there have to download apps to help them navigate through a labyrinth of human feces, used syringes, and… let's just say… delightfully diverse neighborhoods. So it's very, very appropriate that a game about our contemporary American civil war ends in California, which is currently being sucked into a gateway to hell!
But poor Sam, deluded bluepilled nice guy that he is, unwittingly takes part in a ritual of child sacrifice. Just like so many clueless celebrities who end up doing really weird shit in order to "join the club", as they say, Sam plops a baby down on the altar of the last Knot to be connected and watches as it disappears into the grinding gears of progress. "Oh well," he probably told himself, "it was just a clump of cells anyway. Right?"
The theme of child sacrifice is a strange thread that hangs out in the background of human history until you really start noticing it – and then it pops out in lurid detail. It's just as big now as it ever was. Whether it's Canaanites sacrificing babies to Molech and Rephan, or Carthaginians burning babies for Tanit and Baal Hammon, or conspiracy culture theorizing about political and Hollywood elite sacrificing babies to a statue of an owl god in exchange for power, or even young women killing babies for a career or just so they can continue hedonistic self-serving lifestyles, child sacrifice never stopped, and it's all the same no matter the window dressing. Keep in mind that this is the exact opposite of the conservative ideal of parents sacrificing for their children, which is how civilizations are actually built and maintained. But, sadly, you don't get any record deals for perpetuating the species.
After the sacrifice is made, Sam finds out that he was very nearly aborted, too. He was almost a bridge baby sacrificed so that a bluepilled civilization could continue. He even receives a stigmata-like cross on his belly, marking him as a sacrifice denied to the BT demons who rule in the underworld.
When Sam reaches Amelie's beach, she gives her "villain's monologue", which is about her theory that human extinction provides a way for other species to survive. Her insane take on extinction is straight out of the liberal playbook. Can't you imagine her on CNN telling an applauding audience that if we *just* sacrifice America, or if we *just* sacrifice the middle class, or if we *just* sacrifice white people, then humanity as a whole will achieve utopia? The interesting thing is that instead of sounding like an anime villain, she has a sweet, maternal tone that is hypnotic. She almost sounds as if she cares about the world, or at least about Sam, even as she hungers for our extinction.
"What the hell did they do to you?" Sam asks. Poor Sam is like the liberals of a bygone era who believed in unions and sensible limits on mega-corporations, and has just woken up to the fact that his sister or his mother only adopted liberal philosophy as a means of destroying civilization by importing millions of third-worlders with substandard IQ and teaching children how to fellate pedophiles during state-mandated drag queen story hour. Sam is horrified to realize that the chiral network he has been working so hard to build will be used to erase the human species.
The fact that Amelie is the Extinction Entity perfectly highlights contemporary right-wing philosophy on women as the feral sex. According to this philosophy, without something holding them back, women will always vote left. They can't help themselves. Women will always vote for open borders, for mass child sacrifice, for censorship. Women are naturally drawn to Islam over Christianity. They will always vote for lenient prison sentences for criminals, but they think instances of wrongspeech or wrongthink should be punished with loss of livelihood and permanent exile. You get the idea. But from this perspective, it makes Sam's confrontation with Amelie especially painful, as he is forced to face this person that he thought he loved as she stands on the brink of destroying the world.
Amelie even says, "America is a lie." This is pretty much the root of the liberal mindset, a stewing maelstrom of resentment and disgust with the very nation they live within. The fact that the rest of the world would give anything to be here is completely lost on them.
"Promise you'll stop me. Don't let me end it all," Amelie pleads. Unfortunately Sam can do nothing to convince her. At this point his hormones are completely fucked from a diet of bugs and Monster Energy Drank, causing his T-levels to drop so low that he could suckle Lou on the soy milk produced by his own giant breasts. Testosterone is the weapon you need to equip in order to get rabid lefties under control, and Sam just doesn't have that weapon in his inventory. In fact Sam even literally turns blue during this confrontation because he is dying from a bluepill overdose – look closely if you think I'm exaggerating. His nihilism reaches its apex and as he enters the final stages of a fatal case of TDS, he pulls a gun, puts it to his own head, and pulls the trigger.
Sam's "dark night of the soul" parallels the awakening process of every newborn right-winger. Lots of people have noticed the libertarian-to-right-wing pipeline that leads in a straight line away from well-meaning libertarianism, a philosophy that says all people are, at their core, decent. The pipeline only goes one way, not the other. All it takes is a few run-ins with the dark side of human nature before "nice guy" libertarians realize that some people truly are driven by an insane urge for destruction, and those dangerous people have to be stopped or they will turn civilization into a place where children cannot be safely raised.
Unfortunately Sam doesn't have the benefits of the internet like we do. We have to assume that in the future-world of Death Stranding, the internet was deemed too problematic and was done away with, and replaced with the chiral network, which is really only good for consumption. You can't print ideas and arguments on a chiral printer. Without any new ideas to guide him, poor Sam is left stranded on the Beach, thinking he is the first man to come face-to-face with an insane woman who dreams of opening the border between the land of the living and the land of the dead just so she can virtue signal and get a few "likes" in the final moments before the human race is annihilated.
I can't help but think that Cliff Unger would have had a much easier time handling Amelie than Sam. "You're giving me a gun so I can either shoot you or hug you?" he would say, then without hesitation he would have started popping off rounds, putting two in the chest and two more in the head just to be sure. Think about it, we have no idea what happened to Cliff's wife and why she ended up comatose. I think it's safe to assume he found out she wanted to vote for Bridget Strand because Orange Man Bad, so he suplexed her and knocked her out permanently. That doesn't mean he never loved his wife – he did. It just means he didn't want his child to be raised on a diet of bugs and going door to door campaigning to put an Extinction Entity in the White House.
Mama and Lockne are New Age Goofballs
Something needs to be pointed out regarding our twin cuties Mama and Lockne. Did you notice that these chicks sound like they're trapped in a cult? I wouldn't blame anyone for not noticing, because these twins are some SERIOUS CUTIES, and we're biologically programmed to allow cuties to get away with anything. If we met them in real life, most men would simply nod and smile if these ladies started rambling on about their cult of We Are All One.
Their story is pretty lefty, too. It reaches its conclusion right after we get the chiral artist and the junk dealer to tie the knot. They're straight, male and female, so I guess from a lefty perspective it's like, YAWN, bo-o-o-oring! Thankfully their marriage immediately falls apart and the chiral artist decides to walk through BT-infested terrain just to move back in with her conniving mother.
After that storyline, Sam hauls Mama through a gauntlet of terrorists, BTs, deadly timefall, and of course me constantly tripping over rocks and riding ass-first down mountainsides with my legs splayed open, basically turning her body into a piece of cheddar on a cheese grater. In some sense she was dead the moment Sam picked her up. But, never fear! As soon as I reached our destination and plopped her down and said, "Okay, see, what had happened wuz…" Lockne cut me off and went off on her first of many creepy cult monologues. This bitch starts channeling Mama, and Mama's just as fucked up as her goofy-ass sister! Then Lockne climbed on top of Mama's corpse and we, the viewer, are forced to endure a narcissistic love scene that can only be described as MOIST. Ugh, sorry.
Point being, in a bluepilled world, traditional marriage doesn't hold a candle to two women who love each other forever and can overcome anything that gets between them, even death.
Heartman Is a Hero
I hope you guys are ready for a real shocker, because this dude Heartman really threw me for a loop. When I walked into his home and saw his fashionable outfit, his posture, and his general lack of a chin, I thought he was going to end up becoming Sam's girlfriend. Little did I know freaking Heartman is the most redpilled son of a bitch in the entire game!
Heartman has an insane work-life-family balance and goes through hell on his endless quest to put his family back together. This is a man who knows that family means everything! He is regimented to an autistic degree, even foregoing the joys of a forty-five minute poop so that he can stay on schedule.
He's as conservative as they come. Don't believe me? At one point he says, "The past informs the present and aids us in building the future." This is Conservatism 101, and in the bluepilled and hormonally deficient world of Death Stranding, you could actually kill someone telling them something like that!
What does Heartman think of diversity? He hates it with the burning hatred of ten thousand suns, and for proof, I submit this quote: "Too many Beaches sharing the same space. Wires get crossed and so forth." Yikes. Talk about problematic! Compared to Amelie, who wants to erase the borders between all Beaches, Heartman has basically watched one too many YouTube vids showing various diversity meltdowns, including machete attacks, acid attacks, and everyone's personal favorite, the dreaded Rental Truck Attack.
Okay, Heartman. Lay off the discrimination and hateful rhetoric, will you? We're trying to go extinct over here!

Posted by kylebstiff on November 29, 2019
The world is a battlefield between rival ideologies and occult groups. As I watch movies and play games and break down their hidden meaning, I can usually depend on Japanese stories to be free of what we call "Illuminati" symbolism, whereas Hollywood movies push the symbolism so hard that it's kind of a joke at this point. But Death Stranding is an interesting case because left-leaning Illuminati ideology is on full display.
This will be a relatively spoiler-free breakdown that only covers the first half of the game. Please note that despite giving him a hard time, I am a huge fan of Hideo Kojima. Like a lot of artists who naturally pick up on cultural vibes, he's allowed liberal indoctrination to slip through his AT Field and infect his brain. This doesn't keep him from being an amazing entertainer, nor does it prevent Death Stranding from being a great and interesting game, but we have a duty to point out cringe when we see it.
I'm sure we can all agree that testosterone is a divine hormonal matrix that only some of us are blessed to wield. It grants the wielder the power to tell a story fearlessly, rather than doubt oneself endlessly until death comes to silence our fears. From the beginning of Death Stranding one can't help but notice that Kojima is getting older and his testosterone levels are dropping. His Metal Gear Solid series had military dudes, bombastic soundtracks, bouncing tits, button-mashing during torture scenes, guys shitting themselves and getting stuffed into porta Johns, "Nanomachines, son!", child soldiers committing based war crimes, babies born on the battlefield, and so on. Death Stranding tones it down a notch with sedate music and the idea that if somebody gets killed (or even dies), it results in a voidout that can destroy an entire city.
Rather than a proper end for a wild ride, death is seen as a disaster, which is an opinion free of testosterone. Remember, being smart and avoiding danger may seem very clever, but in the end it can only get you in a nursing home, lying in bed trying to put together the pieces of an identity that is beyond repair. It is a fate fit only for bugmen.
Ah, but we were talking about the lefty perspective in Death Stranding, weren't we? Let's move on to characters!
President Bridget is Hillary Clinton
Sam's mother represents – of course – none other than Hillary Clinton. Not as a bug-eyed psychopath and queen of cringe, of course, but as the warm, empathic, and divine feminine Mother Goddess that liberals see her as. Her name, Bridget, signifies that she builds bridges, not walls, which is either inspirational or cringe depending on your perspective. Sam's first mission, a very poignant slog in which he must carry his mother's corpse to an incinerator, is reminiscent of the absolute dark night of the soul felt by liberals at having to bury the dream of Hillary as President. I'm trying to be diplomatic so I won't comment on what the rain in this mission represents. Bridget (and Hillary) were supposed to put America back together again, and the people scrambling to keep her alive, and then cover up her death, represent the mainstream media going into overdrive spinning a narrative to galvanize the populace.
Die-Hardman is Barack Obama
The way this guy looks and carries himself is a great indicator of how liberals see Obama. Rather than the stuttering dufus who needed a teleprompter to speak to school children, or a low-T Indonesian married to a linebacker packing some serious cucumber, here we see Obama as a barrel-chested alpha who runs the UCA after Bridget's unfortunate passing. As in real life, this guy just won't go away. Also note that in his mask, Die-Hardman looks a lot like this alleged pic of Obama dressed as some kind of goofy Illuminati demon:
Sam Bridges is an Everyman Boomer DOOMer
Everyone living in the ruins of America is stuck isolated in bunkers, unable to connect with one another in person but addicted to texting page after page of nonsense for the player to trudge through, but Sam is a boomer who can get things done. If he was born in our era, he would mow the lawn at six in the morning, request seating in a restaurant, and pay off his kids' credit card bills. He gets things done as only old people can.
However, Sam lives in his own era, which means he's contracted the same fatal autism that everyone else suffers. He's afraid of physical contact, he has trouble communicating, and he even collects action figures. He wants to abandon the old world but he's literally chained to his job. When Sam is given a BB ("baby") and it starts having flashbacks to its real father, we get the sense that Sam is in an extremely bluepilled "my wife's son" type of situation; however, Sam does have some old school backbone, because he's the only man in the UCA who protests aborting the baby. He knows the baby is more than just equipment – or more than a clump of cells, as they say in our era.
Now, don't get me wrong about this bluepill stuff. I'm not saying that Kojima is a lefty NPC relentlessly pushing whatever Hollywood says must be pushed. Obviously he's not, or his games would be unplayable. But as an artist, as a creative type, his brain is an antenna made for picking up on the cultural zeitgeist and then remixing it through the prism of his own unique self. All artists do this. Kojima was called to tell a story about the conflict happening in America right now, and since that conflict is so complicated, we are forced to pick sides so we can take narrative shortcuts. There's nothing wrong with this; we have to be able to identify friend or foe at a glance, and that's why our current conflict can be broken down into Redhats versus Bluehairs.
Unfortunately Kojima leans left in Death Stranding, which can be off-putting when gamers are in the mood for a heroic tale about a man slaying the enemies of America in a ritual of purification and reunion. Even though Kojima has revolutionized package handling gameplay just like he did stealth gameplay, a lot of gamers have been underwhelmed. And I can see why: Gaming is inherently redpilled and right wing. You can't slay monsters and save the princess by bending over for them, otherwise you end up with something like Undertale – a sappy, sentimental mess with a notoriously toxic fan base. Considering its goofy level of pacifism, Death Stranding is dangerously close to crossing into territory where the unindoctrinated cannot go.
But as I said earlier, protagonist Sam Bridges is not a total lefty strung out on mood enhancing drugs. Kojima makes an effort to turn Sam into a Christlike figure, whose blood is redemptive and capable of cleansing the nation. Just as Jesus Christ was able to drive out demons and unclean spirits, Sam's blood can be used in an alchemical process to kill or drive off BTs, which are the spirits of the dead. (I may be wrong on BTs being ghosts since I haven't finished the game yet.)
This is of course the heretical idea that people can save themselves. One NPC even explicitly says that he doesn't believe in grace or miracles – only people. Which is like saying you believe in books but not authors. It's peak liberal enlightenment. The only way to make it more liberal would be to have a drag queen telling it to a child during government-mandated storytime. Another NPC in a long, rambling email even calls Sam the Great Deliverer. It's a throwaway line, but it makes sense for a materialist bugman to see the Amazon delivery guy as a messiah. I'm hoping that later on in the game we will be introduced to some characters who challenge Sam's role as the Mail Messiah the same way the AI in MGS2 challenged Raiden's belief that he was a real person rather than a mere video game character.
Fragile Is Every "Basic Bitch" Liberal Wahmen
Mainstream media is pushing bug-eating to the point where it's become a meme. In order to get you eating bugs and living in a pod, they have to make it seem cool and futuristic rather than dystopian. Remember, as long as you have guns, they can't make you do anything you don't want to do. Once you demand that your own guns be taken away, then, of course, they can do anything they want to you. But the first few times Fragile meets Sam, she constantly forces bugs on him. She can't stand to see a man not eating bugs like some kind of scavenging vermin! We've gone from MGS5's alpha supreme Kazuhira Miller selling burgers pumped full of based chemicals to Sam eating maggots that turn him into a hormonally deficient pod-dwelling urbanite sipping Starbucks and hashtagging about Orange Man Bad!
Fragile's interview sums up the liberal mindset. I'll print the entire paragraph because it has several eye-rolling moments…
"We once had a network spanning the whole wide world that could send items from anywhere to anywhere, and connect anyone with anything. But still we were isolated – still we were alone. Some liked it that way, and even wanted more. They wanted walls along their borders, wanted to turn away refugees and outsiders."
Not only does the email accidentally acknowledge that connecting online does nothing to alleviate loneliness, there's also the cringe misunderstanding that enforcing basic border control policy and protecting the people within a nation is somehow a moral outrage. In fact her interview kind of reminds me of a celebrity tweet, like Alyssa Milano crying to let her followers know they are supposed to get angry because the nation they live in hasn't collapsed on schedule. Also the idea that letting in the third-world will somehow end our loneliness is a really low IQ take, since the American experiment has shown that ethnic groups tend to form impenetrable enclaves rather than interact in any meaningful way.
One more thing about Fragile and her female nature. Not only is her superpower instantaneous travel (what woman wouldn't kill for that ability?), but… and this is a SPOILER (until the end of the paragraph)… she is forced to run through a timefall mostly naked, so her body is unnaturally aged. MGTOW types who are beyond sick of women often talk about the Wall. Not Trump's Wall, mind you, but the concept of the Wall is that when a woman's beauty fades, her power comes to an end. It's incredibly sad and is far beyond what your typical bluepilled lefty can handle. They desperately want to believe that beauty is a state of mind available to everyone rather than a genetic lottery win given only to a few. The truth is that not having it is a drag and losing it is devastating. Not gonna lie, I cried during that scene!
I'm looking forward to learning more about Higgs, the man who forced this fate on Fragile. Is he evil, or just a bitter incel who wanted to permanently end Fragile's Instagram career?
The BTs: Reconnecting with History Is Terrifying to the Bluepilled
The BTs are a surprisingly conservative threat. From my perspective as someone who hasn't finished Death Stranding, I can only say what I currently know about BTs, but they seem to be the spirits of the dead interacting with the living. Interestingly enough, for a game about making connections and breaking down borders, the main enemy, BTs, are border-crossers who are so dangerous that America cannot exist as long as they exist. You have to choose one or the other: Get the United Cities of America up and running, or keep importing BTs. You can't have both.
The symbolism is so obvious, they may as well be wearing sombreros and trafficking guns, drugs, and sex slaves!
It's also interesting to note that the arrival of BTs is marked by a reverse rainbow. It's very telling that Kojima uses the "woke" symbol of public CBT parades and drag queen storytime to let the player know they are approaching a gateway to the world of death. I feel like the fact that blue is missing from the rainbow has something to do with Democrats losing control of their own ride down the slippery slope.
Could Kojima be channeling the reversal of the rainbow as America's slide into a sexual free-for-all continues? Remember, this happened before, in Weimar Germany, where you could pay to experience any and every sexual kink – even stuff that we would consider progressive now. The grasping hands of the BTs become even more frightening when you consider that they might have in mind something far worse than killing you!
There's something for liberals to fear about BTs, too. Being dead, the BTs represent spirits of the past – dark spirits from dark times. Looking back at history is one of the great fears of the modern enlightened liberal. History is non-utopian, thus they can only view it through the lens of complete indoctrination, which says that all history is BAD. Taking a nuanced look at various groups of people trying to survive under conditions that were not ideal is not the strong suit of liberals. Just think of how many liberals (especially women) you have heard say they're afraid to look into their family tree because they might find Nazis or KKK members – the ultimate boogeymen of children raised on Hollywood movies!
That also makes chirality in general a very shocking idea in such a bluepilled story. Once the United Cities of America is reconnected, theoretically anything from the past could be 3D-printed. That means that the key to saving America (and the world) lies in reconnecting with history. From a liberal perspective, this makes absolutely no sense. Why would you want to reconnect with something that wasn't progressive and isn't the current year? But from a conservative standpoint, it makes total sense: You have to reconnect to a time that made sense, to a time when we knew what worked, in order to have a solid foundation on which to build the future.
Stranded from the Almighty
In the world of Death Stranding, much like our own, communities have broken down and people live in isolation. They are addicted to mood-enhancing drugs just like we are. People are no longer hormonally capable of creating something as simple as oxytocin, a "cuddling hormone" used for social bonding, and must take a synthetic version. Because zoomers did not heed the wisdom of boomers regarding "cell phone bad" most people can only interact through "chiralgrams" or holographic facetime vids. Every NPC seems bland and lifeless until you walk away, then they bombard you with texts littered with emojis.
Kojima's depiction of humanity gone insane is surprisingly subtle given his track record of over-the-top characters. When you consider games like BioShock where everyone infected by the Hot Topic virus becomes a juggalo clown from the dark carnival, or Badlands where cringe behavior is considered the norm, a story about people becoming asexual genderless freaks afraid to form bonds with one another and are no longer breeding is surprisingly and subtly redpilled. If Death Stranding showed unlimited immigration and ethnic groups forming uncommunicative enclaves and a "hatespeech" police force cracking down on people who point out the obvious, we could even say that Death Stranding is the redpilled game of 2019, especially since Doom Eternal's release date has been pushed to 2020.
Or not. Death Stranding is incredibly interesting but it is definitely not redpilled. It's about connecting people, but broken people who connect with other broken people only find ruin and regret. This may seem odd to the modern gamer, a technophile with an unexamined love of science and who seriously believes they have outgrown the need for ritual and tradition and the rough traits that turned their ancestors into survivors rather than bugmen, but anyone who drifts so far from their own creator that they believe they were created by accident will of course end up on mood-altering medication. Mental illness is the inevitable result of distance from the mysterious force that sustains us. To the modern gamer who collects Star Wars figurines and anime memorabilia much like a Death Stranding MULE collects packages while "jacked up on a cargo high", the drift into darkness and depression is subtle and seemingly inevitable. There is of course the sustaining belief that if we can just make it through the darkness of Kali Yuga we will eventually arrive at a utopian Star Trek future, but oddly enough, this belief is more fervent and unconscious than anything practiced in a seemingly-backward traditional community.
More to come! As I continue my journey through the game, I'm hoping Higgs and Cliff Unger will give me more of a right-wing take on Death Stranding. I'm really looking forward to reaching the west coast and meeting what they call "crazy men" or homo demens. Leave it to Kojima to have "gay demons" waiting for the player in California!

What Black Panther is to African Americans, what Captain Marvel is to feminists who don't watch superhero movies, what Thanos is to normies, Joker is to us… gamers? I mean Nazis. I mean incels. Or whatever the label is… let's just say it's the people who know civilization isn't dying, it's being murdered.
And we know who's doing the killing!
Mainstream media has been warning us about Joker, and for good reason: It gives voice to people who are sick of the degeneration of civilization. It's been obvious for a long time that Hollywood is a cult, and it's their job to present a gospel of life improving through lefty values and diversity indoctrination. That's their job. They want us watching Captain Marvel and Disney Star Wars, not Joker, and they're willing to push the idea that incels will shoot up a theater full of incels (huh?) to get their way. Of course, we all know what's going on. We know civilization isn't collapsing because the traditional values that have guided nations for thousands of years suddenly went past the sell-by date and now we have to make a frantic switch to atheist feminist Communism or else the world will burn up.
But before you get too excited about Joker – and it is worth getting excited about – let's get one thing straight: It's not conservative or right-wing or trad or anything like that. It's not even what Blade Runner 2049 was for us (a story about the Last White Guy doing his job and being hated while the world falls apart). While the creative minds behind Joker were definitely tapping into the collapse and the outrage we feel, that collapse and that outrage are still shown from a deeply left-leaning perspective. Remember, Thomas Wayne is rich and says insensitive things about the poor, Joker requires "free" mental health counseling, and the rioters carry signs that say RESIST, which is the battle cry of the Anti-Drumpf Orange Man Bad NPC Elite.
In fact, Joker kind of reminded me of Back to the Future 2. Remember how that movie strangely predicted Trump's presidency, as well as his ability to travel through time? Through the character of Biff Tannen, the makers of Back to the Future 2 clearly knew what was coming. However, instead of seeing it as an interesting cultural event and an opportunity to prune back the weeds of liberalism spreading through college indoctrination and Hollywood propaganda, the makers of that film saw it as a dystopian hellscape where white biker gangs roamed the streets shooting at teachers without any clear reason. Really, go back and look at that movie. It's never explained exactly why the future is so dark, why white people have suddenly turned into violent savages – they just kind of did, and somehow it was Biff Tannen's fault!
So it's a case of the oracle receiving a message from the gods, but the message is fractured by the unfortunate retardation of the human medium. While Joker is undeniably appealing to conservative men who feel impotent in the face of societal collapse, Joker is actually a snapshot of a liberal man lost in a sea of raging emotions and without any sort of rational compass that he can use to get a reality check. While we each retreat within our opposing bubbles, Joker is kind of an unexpected re-acquaintance with the lefty mindset. The fact that conservative men can relate just shows how tolerant and empathetic they are – imagine that!
Remember, this movie was made by someone in Hollywood, not outside of it. Without doing any research, I'm going to go out on a limb (but not really) and say the director is a lefty, probably Jewish, and he thinks President Trump speaks a coded language that "dog whistles" (love that goofy term) secret messages to white nationalists and Russian handlers. I promise I will not even take the ten seconds required for a Google search to see if I'm right or not – I mean, do I need to at this point?
Anyway, the point is that this story is going to have a lefty slant to it, so I think Joker is a great example of what a liberal male would do if he was in the same position that a lot of white, conservative males are in. Unlike Officer K who kept going to work and pushed his emotions deep, deep down, Joker lashes out with unrestrained emotion. This dude even climbs into his… but I won't spoil it! But god damn, guys – he really climbed in that thing, didn't he?!
The way Joker got a gun is a perfect example of this story coming from a liberal perspective. This paragraph will be a little spoilery, sorry. But Joker essentially has a gun forced on him by an alpha male who calls the ethnic kids who beat him "savages". This is a liberal nightmare in technicolor – they don't see gun rights as something that a person can choose to opt out of, because they don't really understand choice. Sorry guys, but it's true. The idea that a white bully would force someone to take a gun is top shelf liberalism, it's something only they could imagine. It's the same way you and your buddy don't hold each others' dicks while taking a piss. Your unit is yours, and his is his. But liberals tend not to believe in free will, and they think people can be converted to bad ideas without effort. That's why they're so big on censorship, banning, and deplatforming. That's not a critique, that's just the way it is.
The fact that right off the bat we are shown that Joker is mentally ill favors my hypothesis. It's kind of a meme at this point, but as long as you don't get in a liberal's face and accuse them of being mentally ill, they will readily discuss their collection of mental illnesses. Most of them are quite open about whatever it is they happen to have, whether it's depression or anxiety or Asperger's or ADHD or gender dysphoria or whatever. Most conservatives don't get excited about having a mental illness, they don't think it's cool or interesting, in fact they tend to see it as something that should be overcome rather than something that adds spice and flavor to personality.
Another great example of the liberal perspective is the bullies on the train – the business suit-wearing alpha males. This scene struck me as a little unrealistic, but I think it really shines a light on the liberal perspective. Years ago I lived in DC and I used the metro all the time. I was comically impoverished back then, and everything I wore was donated or bought from a thrift store. I saw lots of upwardly mobile suited types on the metro, and they never gave me any trouble. In fact, they ignored me, because they were interested in their own lives, which is understandable. The only trouble I ever got was from… well, how do I say it without getting in trouble? We'll say "urban youths". We all know this is how it is, but I think the liberal pain in this scene is very real. They feel a kind of visceral rejection by the world of business suit-wearing alphas, and they imagine that yacht-riding CEOs like Tai Lopez or Dan Bilzerian are laughing at them, secretly mocking them because they aren't a part of the ultra elite .00001 percent. I used to assume that we were all laughing at elites, but these days I'm finding out that most of you guys are grinding your teeth at them, masking your envy with disdain.
This paragraph is going to be somewhat spoilery (sorry). But just look at how badly Joker wants Thomas Wayne to be his father once he realizes the possibility is there. This whole situation makes me wonder if the basic liberal mindset is one formed by paternal neglect. We've all seen their irrational hatred for President Trump, a primal revulsion so over-the-top and so continual that we know it doesn't come from rational disagreement on policies – in fact, Trump virtue signals liberal values with the best of liberals, and has done so for decades. We kind of suspect that the hatred comes from some kind of *intense* childhood trauma, because we can't think of anything else that works on such a deep level. This makes the scene where Joker reads his mother's file so powerfully moving (spoiler coming up, spoiler spoiler). He was a nobody, from nothing, with no father, abandoned by his mom and abused by strange men. Not going to lie, I cried!
Of course, that makes me wonder if lefty extremists just feel unloved in general, not only abandoned by parents but perhaps abandoned by something even more profound. Maybe even abandoned by God. Do their bitchasses just need to go to church? They certainly have a visceral hatred for one religion in particular, the same one villified in Hollywood movies and on Netflix. When was the last time you heard a lefty complain about Islam or Judaism?
I loved Joker, but of course it was always a stretch to hope that this movie would perfectly snapshot the anger of conservatives or right-wingers or groypers or trads or Chads or shitposters or volcels or incels or even the bowl cut enthusiasts or whatever the fuck you want to call the people who see patterns and aren't NPCs waiting for the next goodthink update from the powers that be. Maybe despite his emotional instability, that's what makes Joker our representative in this era: He sees patterns, and the thoughtpolice are afraid because they think Joker could be the spark to light the powder keg because he's not afraid to snap. He's not afraid to be the one to start the chaos that we all know is coming anyway.
But who am I to say this? I'm just a guy who got shot in a movie theater. That's right, dear readers – I'm already fuckin' dead! As the credits rolled both exit doors popped open and several three-man shooter teams rolled up with heavy heat. "We're a lone gunman!" they all shouted as they unloaded 5.56 ammo directly into my face. "Don't report a three-man shooter team to the police, that really messes up the narrative! We're just one white guy!" they repeated, as they reloaded and fired into my face again and again, spaghetti and sauce shooting from my ruined sinus cavity as heavy rounds tore through my skull. A few rounds even sliced through my guts and interacted with the refreshing diet beverage I'd been drinking just like they were Mentos, and the ensuing chemical reaction caused the Diet Garbage Juice to erupt from my bullet-riddled tubing like some kind of science experiment gone awry. My jaw shook convulsively as my teeth were pulverized and I think they imagined I was talking back, and that really pissed them off. Chunks of wet meatloaf flew from my bullet-battered skull as CIA and Mossad concentrated their firepower, living in absolute terror that their victim would not be one hundred percent on board with their dumb plans for world domination.
But it wasn't all bad. I was just happy that Joker literally mentioned SOCIETY at the end!!!

In Which John Rambo Traps Blue-Haired Liberal Critics in His Tunnels and Hunts Them Down!
I'm a big fan of Rambo, but I didn't want to see Rambo: Last Blood. Being a product of Hollywood, I assumed it would be about John Rambo going on one last mission to help Mexican prisoners escape from Trump's concentration camps while executing police officers and ICE agents in the name of diversity. I assumed the script would be written by James Gunn (the director of Guardians of the Galaxy) or one of his clones, and would include a lot of "witty banter" between "delightfully dysfunctional" social outcasts. I hate that stuff and I wanted to remember Rambo as he used to be, before Hollywood became the propoganda arm of a cult ten thousand times worse than Scientology. However… as soon as I heard that people were getting triggered over this movie, I had to see it for myself!
And, guess what – it's beautiful!
Rambo: Last Blood isn't exactly a great movie, but it's the very thing that we needed. It has a simple story, but the timing of its release, and its focus on narratives that liberals hate, is like a lighthouse beacon for the human spirit tossed in a storm of retardation that is destroying civilization (guess I'm taking the kid gloves off with the hyperbole here). I won't spoil anything, but the basic gist of the movie is that John Rambo is living a quiet life dealing with the demons of his past (meaning: he got to commit a lot of based war crimes back in the day), he has a niece that he dearly loves, and she gets involved with Mexican gangsters – that is, human traffickers. If you're liberal: Yikes. Fucking YIKES. "Uh, Yikes Department? I need to file a fucking claim, please! In fact my name is Karen and I need to speak to the manager about this shit!!!"
Every liberal film critic hated this movie, but lots of normal people (that is, unindoctrinated people) liked or even loved it. Maybe this is obvious, but sometimes it's good to state the obvious: The entire narrative of this movie simply cannot exist within the liberal narrative of how the world works. In the liberal world, there are no Mexican drug cartels or human traffickers. There are only disenfranchised people who were not properly served by society, and therefore they must I repeat MUST be allowed to come into America. Unfortunately they can't, because our President (who is Literally Hortler) is enforcing regressive, archaic, outdated border security laws, and is even putting Mexicans into concentration camps, including Area 51. There may even be ovens and execution squads at these concentration camps, who knows?
Since Hollywood is one hundred percent on board with this narrative, Rambo: Last Blood hits hard because it somehow came out of the very machine that's been retooled to ONLY churn out stories that fit within a lefty narrative. Having rejected any sort of traditional religion, and yet still being human and thus requiring some kind of religion (or at the very least, a moral framework), Hollywood has chosen DIVERSITY. "Have you heard of diversity? It's our strength!" Within that framework, a movie that shows Mexican gangsters keeping young sex slaves drugged and confined is downright blasphemous! It doesn't matter that this movie also has good and heroic Mexican characters; no, within the extreme leftist narrative, you are not allowed to acknowledge that a Mexican is capable of immoral behavior. It would be like saying that diversity isn't our strength – which it is, if you haven't heard.
Last Ride of the Boomers
It's been said by those wiser than me that the zoomers will be our salvation, but Last Blood is kind of interesting in that it shows a boomer getting his shit together and squeezing out enough testosterone to mow down some bad guys just to help a defenseless girl, even rocking his boomer jams while he does it. In a world where right-wing guys are beyond sick of putting up with female troubles (some are even going MGTOW) and left-wing types praise women only when they act like men, it's nice to see an old guy butcher some bad guys in the name of chivalry. One of the bad guys even says, "Only an old fuck would come back for some cut-up bitch." It's sweet and strikes a deep chord, especially among guys who have a protective instinct that they aren't allowed to use. We can't even compliment women or hold the door open for them, much less form militias and blast suspicious border-crossers to protect women who, let's face it, never really understand how unbelievably dark the world can be.
In some sense, the warrior mentality idolizes females even though (real talk) they don't deserve idolization, but it's kind of a "necessary lie" that holds civilization together. But civilization is falling apart. Rambo's niece Gabriela was on her way to college where she was probably going to major in Socialist Gender Theory with a minor in Antifa Combat Tactics or "How to Hate Everything (Including Yourself)". This beautiful young lady who loved her family and her Uncle Rambo would most likely come back home for the summer overweight, her hair either blue or shaved off, with a nose ring and a bunch of tattoos, leading some indoctrinated soyboy on a leash, and berating her Uncle Rambo for his toxic masculinity. I'm trying to be spoiler-free here, so I'll just say that whether Gabriela was going to *have a very bad time* with Mexican drug cartel animals or have her soul mutilated by left-wing cultists, she was fated to be sacrificed either way.
There's a lot about Last Blood that isn't great, but its timely nature definitely takes it out of the "okay" category and makes it far greater than its otherwise plebeian nature might have warranted a few decades ago. The shots of Trump's wall and Rambo's improvised Mayan revenge ritual alone make it worth our time. In an era where every movie exists only for indoctrination purposes, I don't know how this one slipped through.
This imperfect movie taps into our very real need to protect what we've worked so hard to build, because we're powerless right now. Every day we see these cultists tearing down one institution after another. Despite what you might think, people aren't dumb. They know society is falling apart, and they know it isn't because traditional values, which have guided civilizations for thousands of years, are suddenly the cause of our downfall. Most people can't articulate it, but they instinctively know that people with blue hair having emotional meltdowns because an election didn't go their way is not normal. They know that there are certain things that seem to make crime rates skyrocket, and they don't want their neighborhoods to become scary places where kids can't run around and have fun, and they know the blue hairs and the professors and the obnoxious celebrities aren't going to help. And these very loud weirdos aren't trying to debate the merits of their ideas, either; they rely on shutting down dissent through censorship, and using emotional histrionics to control weak people and bludgeon strong people into submission. The meme "Are we the baddies?" definitely applies.
I have to admit I got a kick out of Rambo's creator being very vocal about how much he hated this movie. It's one of those JK Rowling moments where the creator is desperately virtue signaling in order to remain relevant. JK Rowling is the most prominent representative of this pattern, which is especially amusing when you consider the "problematic" nature of her Gringotts goblins and the stereotype they represent. Whatever the case, I'm sure it's tough when everyone you know is a lefty, and your entire reputation depends on how hard you virtue signal in public. I can't imagine how miserable it must be!
CONTROVERSIAL ENDING
Anyway, when the credits rolled, I hit the exit and unexpectedly met a three-man shooter team preparing to blast everyone in the theater. I've played a lot of Metal Gear Solid games so I was able to use my knowledge of stealth to hide and listen in on the black ops team.
I distinctly heard their commander say, "Remember – no Hebrew."
I feared the worst, but the attack was suddenly called off, and I followed the killers behind the theater. They had a mobile command center set up around some innocuously labeled vans, and I saw a drugged-up white kid sitting on the curb, his eyes glazed over from a pharmaceutical cocktail that enhanced his MK ULTRA training and his willingness to be a patsy in yet another "active shooter" incident.
I watched as the shooter team fell to one knee, bowing to a holographic image of George Soros in a black robe.
"Master," said one of the killers, "why must we stand down? If we want to disarm the American people, or at least convince them to disarm themselves, then you know we must have more shooter incidents!"
"Of course, my young padawan," said Emperor Soros. "But our surveillance of the theater revealed that only ancient boomers are willing to go to a matinee showing of Rambo. Nobody cares about a bunch of white-haired old men!" Before the shooter team could break down into tears after losing the opportunity to shoot a bunch of people and blame it on a drugged up white kid, Emperor Soros smiled and licked his lips.
"Postpone the mission until JOKER!" he said, cackling like a cartoon-villain.
I broke out into a cold sweat, dear reader, and I got the hell out of there. I'm looking forward to Joker, but I'm not looking forward to being shot, so hopefully we'll have a few more false flag attacks and… er, that is, I mean I hope we have a few more actual shootings before Joker so we can all be disarmed before it hits theaters. That way we won't end up in the inevitable situation that *everyone* is predicting!
I've always wanted to live my life as a disarmed slave anyway, and if Hollywood can help out with that, then I'm all for it!

Facebook Content Moderators Live in Hell… Time to Celebrate!
Posted by kylebstiff on March 6, 2019
I just found some pure comedy gold wandering the internets! There's a story about the people who moderate content on facebook, and if you've ever wondered why your feed is relentlessly boring – it's their fault! The story can be read HERE. It's worth a read if you like free speech and free thought, because it turns out that the people who need their content moderated end up doing the job of moderating content (because why wouldn't they?) and then, of course, they get traumatized because they have to look at spicy videos all day long. They're all softies constantly on the verge of a panic attack because they saw a spicy video that they can't handle, but they don't see the irony in the fact that they are the people who require content to be strictly controlled. Their dumb job is their karma and they don't even know it.
You want to make my facebook feed boring? Good for you… you get to live in hell!
These moderators most likely believe that a normal person can accidentally see one spicy video or one spicy meme too many and then become a violent psychopath. This dumb idea is so prevalent that once you realize people believe it, you'll spot it all the time. And the belief that people are infinitely malleable comes from the unexamined belief that people are products of their environment. We're not. Our personality is front-loaded from the get-go and we turn our environment into a reflection of what's going on inside of us.
This is probably why you hear a lot of talk about how bad people are, how un-progressive they are, they're a plague on the earth, etc. There's a war on for your mind and we constantly disappoint those who have a controlling mentality, because you can only get people to go along with your idea of right and wrong for a short amount of time. Pull people along one way, and they'll inevitably pull back the other way. This is endlessly frustrating for domineering do-gooders, but it's actually one of the best things about the human species. Our impulse to stick to our true nature protects us from a nightmarish timeline in which we become the puppets of megalomaniacs for all eternity. Fortunately those timelines never last. What's more common is that some people will get involved in a cult and everyone else will relentlessly make fun of them. Humor is a reminder to not go too far in your quest to carve an image of yourself that's so perfect that you want to worship it. The idol always looks more goofball than you realize.
One thing I've noticed about myself, and maybe it's true for other people who are drawn to spicy videos, is an obsession with the ugly truth. The world can be pretty horrifying and I guess it kind of makes sense to create a cushion, and hell I like to be comforted too, but I hate the feeling that I'm being lied to or that I'm not allowed to sit at the Big Boys' Table because I'm too weak to handle the scary ideas. I want to know the scary things. It's a lot healthier to watch a spicy video about a shooting over a mattress left in an alley, or even the awful execution of those two poor Scandinavian girls in Morocco than it is not knowing how violent the world can be. Life is rough and it's good to be reminded of that, even if from a safe distance.
Another thing about spicy videos. I think the people who want to limit the public's access to spicy videos have a bizarre fear that people actually enjoy them. Maybe some sick fucks genuinely enjoy them, maybe they pop some popcorn and get cozy on the couch while watching Haitian Machete Execution Compilation #7: The Un-Legging Edition, but for most people who are drawn to spicy videos, it's more of a nauseating fascination. You watch it once, you get the gist of it, you learn the lesson, and then you never need to see it again.
But these poor dingalings in the article, they're so sensitive that spicy videos end up battering their consciousness and shredding their auras. The freak-out incidents alone make the article worth reading, with people threatening each other in the parking lot or having sex in the bathroom because reasons. It would be sad if they were doing something good for humanity, making sacrifices for others, etc, but since you know they think the human mind is a bonsai tree and it's their job to prune it and shape it, it leads to a lot of unintentional comedy. They don't have a hunger for truth, but rather, an intense desire for comfort.
Notice that the writer of the article never questions whether social media needs to be censored, he just plays his sad violin over the office stooges who have to do the censoring. "Won't you think of the poor censors?" he seems to ask. This attitude is increasingly common among journalists – a lack of self-awareness regarding how deeply enmeshed they are in their own worldview. He doesn't understand that nobody gives a fwack about somebody getting paid to silence you in order to bolster the illusion that you live in a safe and progressive world, and anyone who says otherwise is a regressive meany who like totally needs to shut up already (omg)! The writer of this piece is the sort of bugman who would have absolutely no qualms with living in a world in which an "elite" class, or even an AI, controlled all of our outlets of free speech, scrubbing everything clean and making sure nobody is ever offended or sees something that challenges their belief in a world without sharp edges, and of course doxxing and non-personing anyone who doesn't want Earth to become… well, what every place becomes when people with good intentions gain power! (Hint: It rhymes with "third-world shithole.")
Journalists don't like the "learn to code" meme, but if they keep believing that everyone but them should be censored, then pretty soon the "learn to code" meme is going to be upgraded to "learn to suicide"!

Left and Right Working Together?
Posted by kylebstiff on February 14, 2017
I was watching Daredevil last night and I had this idea about politics, and it's not super well-thought out but I thought I'd run it by you guys. The idea is that conservatives and liberals both have their own spheres of expertise, and arguments happen when they overstep their boundaries and get in each other's way. I had this idea of nations (or even villages or whatever) as a soft center with a hard defensive ring around it.
A liberal's sphere would be the soft center. The liberal makes sure the village (or whatever) is nice to be in. Everybody has a good time, life isn't extremely unfair, people have rights, there's public works and projects you can put money into, artists get looked after, the old and the weak are taken care of, stuff like that. A conservative's sphere would be the hard outer ring, and their job would be to defend the soft center. Being hardasses, sending out warnings to outsiders who get too close, making judgment calls on who should be killed or detained, deciding how raids should be carried out, questioning ideas or plans made by people outside the ring who want to come inside the ring, enforcing rules with the right amount of severity so that the group is protected, that would be their area.
Both groups are perfectly suited for their areas, and totally unsuited for the other's area. A liberal working in the outer defensive ring would let their empathy run away with them and let outsiders do what they want to the outer ring, thus endangering the entire village. A conservative who dicks around in the soft center would start trying to "lay down the law" on shit he has no idea about, like reproductive systems, Dungeons and Dragons, who's bangin' who in an unorthodox manner, what music people can listen to, and pretty soon the soft center would become hellish and unfit to live in.
I think this might be a good system because no one "side" has to beat the other "side". As it is now, liberals and conservatives are in a desperate deathmatch, but it's like an MMA fighter against a WWF wrestler in a rap battle. They're thinking and acting using completely different sets of rules because they see the world in completely different ways. No side can ever "beat" the other side; the only thing they can do is ramp up the intensity of the argument and make things uncomfortable for someone like me. Of course, in order for an idea like this to work, people with opposing views (actually, opposing brain types, I think) would have to be able to chill out and see the value of the opposing side. That doesn't mean you have to "give in" to the other side, you don't even have to agree that they might be right, you just have to see their potential value to the tribe.
Like I was saying, I was watching Daredevil (beginning of season 2 so, SPOILER ALERT and also DON'T SPOIL IT FOR ME) and saw the incredible second battle between Daredevil and the Punisher which is followed by a great argument that made me extremely uncomfortable but was so inspiring. Of course the whole thing is Daredevil's "don't kill people" philosophy versus Punisher's "kill bad people so they don't kill good people" philosophy. Punisher said something incredibly insightful: "You don't get to pick what makes you whole." Bam! Right there. It doesn't matter how much Daredevil argues with him, or how sane and rational he thinks he is, in the end, the Punisher is made for living in the outer defensive ring of the village. He won't feel alive unless he knows he's protecting the soft center though incredible acts of unbelievable violence. The series does a great job of showing how disturbing the Punisher's life is, with crime scene photos of mutilated bodies covered in gore, which is also counterbalanced by seeing criminals running and hiding and fearing for their life (loved seeing that one guy shit his pants when he realized the Punisher really was going to walk into a hospital with a shotgun and blast him – there was nowhere he could hide).
Daredevil made some good arguments too, though – as long as you live in the soft center. There is always good in people, and you have to trust your species and see the good in them. Everyone deserves a chance. Of course, his argument is a little awkward, because he's fighting crime but not killing anyone, which only makes sense if you have superpowers (most people don't), and doesn't really work on the outer defensive ring.
Oh yeah, I also thought this might be a good system to work within just in case of alien invasion, which I think is inevitable. And yes I mean the UFOs from Mars variety ("They said alien and Vasquez thought they said illegal alien…"). It would be better if our different brain types (in this case, liberal and conservative) each knew their appropriate area so that we could work better together against alien invasion, rather than let aliens play both sides against the other while they divide our resources among themselves. I see people having meltdowns now, but in the future, every living person will live deep underground and they'll look at old photos of us strutting around on the surface of the planet, and while they work on assembly lines to make laser rifles and mini-nukes they will wish that they could have lived in our time – yes, the very time that everyone is currently complaining about. They will wonder what everyone was bitching and moaning about because they will be worried about creatures burrowing down from the surface and possibly attacking one of the child care centers, which is the worst possible scenario for any underground bunker city.

Is America Inching Toward a Police State?
WASHINGTON – The recent revelations about the federal government's surveillance programs underscore a subtle trend in the U.S. that should raise some concerns about personal freedoms in America.
According to John W. Whitehead – founder of the Rutherford Institute, a nonprofit civil liberties and human rights organization – more Americans might find themselves in increasingly dangerous situations as SWAT teams and SWAT-team tactics are used more frequently in routine law enforcement activities.
Violent crime in America has been on a steady decline since the mid-1990s. No one knows exactly why criminal activity is down, but experts point to a variety of factors for the continuing decline in overall violence. They cite the end of the crack cocaine epidemic and changes in technology that include a substantial increase in surveillance cameras, among other reasons, as being responsible for bringing down crime.
Despite falling crime rates, some of the nation's major cities are increasing the size and scope of their police agencies. For example, the New York Police Department (NYPD), the biggest police force in the nation, boasts more than 34,000 officers patrolling the streets of New York. Other cities with increasingly large police forces include Los Angeles (which has approximately 10,000 officers) and Chicago (13,400).
More robust police departments have also been credited with the fall in criminal activity. Nevertheless, other cities without similar increases in their police force, including cities like Dallas and Seattle, also saw decreases in crime rates during the 1990s.
In fact, both of these cities have reduced the size of their police departments, which has led some experts to question whether there is a strong correlation between department size and declining crime rates.
Notwithstanding the lack of evidence, police forces across the nation have not only continued to grow but have ramped up the scope of their activities.
In a Pulitzer prize-winning investigative series, the Associated Press revealed an NYPD surveillance program of Muslim communities. The AP investigation detailed how, after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly sought to transform elements of the nation's largest police force into a miniature CIA, with the help from the intelligence agency, which is prohibited by law from spying on Americans.
Since President George W. Bush declared war on terrorism in the early 2000s, there has been a crucial shift in law enforcement policies.
In an effort to remedy their relative inadequacy to combat terrorism on U.S. soil, police forces throughout the nation adapted their operations to meet the demands of fighting against a different type of threat.
American police departments increased their use of military-grade equipment to perform counterterrorism duties. To assist them in deploying this new equipment, police departments sought and received extensive military training and tactical instruction.
Initially, only the largest metropolitan police departments maintained SWAT teams, and they were called upon only when a truly military-level response was necessary. In 1984, around 25 percent of towns with populations between 25,000 and 50,000 people had a SWAT team. That number rose to 80 percent in 2005. The number of annual SWAT deployments in the U.S. has gone from a few hundred in the 1970s to around 80,000 today. According to author and investigative reporter Radley Balko, there are an estimated 150 SWAT raids in America every day.
Under the 1033 Program, Congress has allowed the Department of Defense to transfer surplus military goods to state and local police agencies, including high-powered weapons and assault vehicles. Last year, the program stopped the transfer of firearms to police forces because of concerns that state coordinators were not keeping adequate inventory records. Suspension of the firearms distribution programs is expected to be lifted in October.
Recently, Whitehead discussed at the Heritage Foundation some of the startling findings he uncovered while doing research for his latest book, A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State.

The Saint-Catherine area boast many restaurants, but only a few go back as far as Le Pré Salé which exists since '63. Formerly a butchery, this restaurant has become an established name in Brussels. The interior decor has barely changed and neither has the menu that focuses on typical Belgian food.
Situated in the Vlaamsesteenweg, Le Pré Salé looks so typically Brussels it is hard to walk by without noticing. If you're not tempted by the smell of mussels served outside by waiters in neat black-and-white costumes, the authentic character of this always crowded place will. The interior design is actually really simple with very little frills and thrills, but I like that you can obviously tell this used to be a butchery. The meat hooks are still attached to the white-tiled walls, and a nice stained-glass window above the open kitchen is the main eyecatcher of the dining hall.
As Le Pré Salé is always crowded, it is most likely you'll be seated shoulder-to-shoulder with the next person. The tables stand so close to each other that the waiter had to move one aside so that I could squeeze in. If you're taking your date out for a romantic dinner, you might want to go elsewhere. If instead you're up for taking in some Brussels atmosphere and typical Belgian food, then this down-to-earth neighbourhood restaurant is your place. Funny, arrogant and energetic at the same time, the waiters are interesting stereotypes of the real "Brusseleirs".
When the restaurant gets too crowded, they open a second restaurant a few meters further up the street: Le Petit Pré Salé. Although this building is a recent acquisition, the interior has been adapted to match the style of its big brother restaurant. One special feature stands out though... Look up to see the big triangular chunk of metal attached to the ceiling. Any idea what it is? (Always a good conversation opener.) It's an original piece of the Atomium!
When it comes to the food, there is no difference between the two restaurants as one kitchen caters the two places. The menu features several (meaty) Belgian specialities. As for the starters, the shrimp croquettes are recommended, which are catered by partner restaurant François on Saint-Catherine which specialises in seafood. As for the main dishes you have several classics to choose from, such as carbonnade de boeuf (stew), filet pur de cheval (horse steak) or anguilles au vert (literally 'Eel in the Green'). The latter is a Flemish regional dish containing freshwater eel in a green herb sauce and hard to come by in Brussels restaurants. Another main attraction are the mussels and fries which come in big portions.
Prices for a main dish vary between 15 and 25 euros, which is the average for a popular neighborhood like this. All in all, Le Pré Salé is a nice place to try Belgian food without moving away from the city centre.
Wondering what the name refers to? Agneau de pré-salé is a type of lamb which was raised in salt marsh meadows of France. The sheep graze in pastures that are covered in halophyte grasses with a high salinity and iodine content, which gives their meat a distinct taste, that is considered a delicacy.
It is best to make a reservation, especially if you want to go during the weekend.
It is required that every customer orders a main dish.

is the solo moniker of Florida musician Eric Dina. His recordings include guitars, banjos, percussion, mandolins, violins and more. Dina's unpolished, lo-fi instrumental recordings also include various sound effects and samples with dynamic results. Even when words are not present in the music of Oh, Mountain an ambient environment is created which seems to erase the gap between poetry as lyricism versus sound or noise.
