The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) has to be up there. Literally glorifies the stock market and presents a finance bro job as the key to happiness. There's a scene near the start where Will Smith is outside the NYSE looking at all the suits going in and out and narrating how he was inspired by how happy everyone was, and how this inspired him to bootlick his way into some internship, the pursuit of which literally requires him to alienate his friends and family and sleep in subway bathrooms with his five-year-old son. Everyone in the movie is a lazy, unscrupulous asshole, except for the rich people, of course, who are portrayed as generous and open-minded for allowing Will Smith in the door after he kisses their asses the whole movie. All of his struggle with homelessness and poverty etc. is portrayed not as injustice but as the ideal scenario, rewarding the hardest, most dedicated worker with a job. It is literally r/upliftingnews: the movie.
Good point. Fuck yeah, I forgot about solar punk. That shit is rad. I read a good solar punk short story a while ago about fishermen accidentally catching an endangered species and they went on a mission to return it to it's home. That was the conflict, "can we do good" Shit was rad.
Do you remember the title?
No idea. I think it was some zene. You ever listen to the intergalactic railroad podcast? I thinknit was one of their bioinfocosim pan species anarchist ones. Or I am misremembering entirely
