All the books and movies about bad stuff all in one! Not really sure where The Matrix fits there...like, is the heritage foundation gonna turn us into computer programs?

      Harry Potter is the only hope against such a diagram of unrelated Dystopia fictions!

    Completely unrelated to the content of the post, but this is not a Venn diagram.

    Love how the libs discovered Project 2025 approximately 4 months ago and are suddenly up in arms like “Evangelicals gaining power and trying to force Christofascism on the masses?!?! THIS IS THE FIRST WE ARE HEARING OF THIS!!!!”

      They should have made Thor and The Hulk their own buddy duo after Ragnarok (one of rhe few not guardians marvel slops I've seen) and just went around space and sometimes earth bashing the hell out of shitty people.

      'Hey The Incredible Hulk, there's no Asgard and clearly outer space is bullshit. I've got a hammer that smashes good...'

      "HULK SMASH!"

      "Exactly, so let's just smash stuff we don't like seeing not smashed. We can call ourselves the Super Smash Brothers!"

    Winston was a reactionary with SA fantasies. The party does nothing wrong by non lethally purging and re-educating him in 1984

    Soylent green is about literally eating human flesh. I don’t think that’s on the Heritage Foundations list

      finally, someone who sees through the bullshit lie known as "Brazil"

      EDIT: okay so apparently Brazil is a movie as well as a country. I just assumed whoever made this was dunking on the entire nation of Brazil

    So much of this makes no sense. How the fuck is lord of the flies a cross section between 1984, animal farm and faremheight 451, which also makes it Logan's run if you add Animal Farm to Logans Run? I've read/seen all of these and there isn't any commonality here

      lord of the flies was about a one-party state with mass surveillance and omnipresent propaganda, where all books were burned, and it's theocratical and any women that can bear children are forced to do so. that's what happened in the book about boys on an island

          My Thesis on Literature that I live by is that you can bend anything to any interpretation but the further your take strays from authorial intent the more you need to justify that take and this can be taken to absurd extremes if you are really good at bullshitting. This venn diagram proved me wrong

        Brazil has far more in common with The Trial than it does with either of those two movies.

        I source most of the weird shit I find from Facebook, it's genuinely the best website for finding just the worst stuff posted with no irony or self awareness.

    Ha, funny coincidence, I came across a similar image earlier on the blog of some Bri'ish dude who managed to get himself involuntarily committed for psych evaluation (three times) after trying to warn European officials, via embassy channels, of

    the inevitable, ‘unifying’ US/UK-led global fascist militarisation trigger and the impending mobilisation of historically precedented mass-slaughter – on an unprecedented scale.

    ‘Gaslighting Gilligan’ is a ‘Warning Order’ to global western ‘democracies’ who are all being subjected to joint corporate-political cartel psychological warfare, ‘Dark Triad’ designed to agitate and divide entire populations via identity politics – especially by gender agenda.

    Gaslighting Gilligan is the book he wrote to warn us of what Brexit was really about. https://gaslightinggilligan.com/about/

      I think gaslighting Gilligan is what the Skipper did in that one episode of the TV show.
