Video description for the above music video, emphasis my own.
We wear the masks to protect each other, but admit it, it's not easy and it's not fun and there aren't too many who enjoy it. I wrote "Pain In The Mask" for the people who struggle with the mask every day and to shed a bit of humor during these tough times in our country. I wrote it because I feel bad for those who have to wear these things for multiple hours a day. And, if we don't laugh we'll cry. To those who want to make this political and keep sending me your garbage, pay attention for a change and get over yourself. I'm NOT telling people not to wear the mask, I'm simply pointing out the obvious issues with wearing them that MOST people feel every day. And you know, when those who struggle see that others are struggling too, it just might encourage them. Please share this video and spread a little humor in our world"
So like these ghouls get paid to write this propaganda right? You'd have to be a fucking moron to look at the 2.2 Trillion CARES act and then point at the 300 Billion in cash payments given to citizens as the cause of inflation. Most of the rest of fucking bill was loans to corporations/businesses which they used for buybacks or whose claims were outright fraudulent. Also it's definitely not the unlimited quantitative easing increasing the money supply by large margins. Fuck you Santul Nerkar and Amelia Thomson-DeVeaux. You're either useful idiots or monsters.
Do to their lack of myelinated nerve fibers by the time the creature could become large enough to seize it's real potential it could take minutes for impulses to fire down it's majestic chompers.
As inflation worsens and job loss to automation intensifies there becomes a new class of individuals whose primary income is a combination of gig economy odd jobs and ad compliance money.
Ma'am please step away from the lathe you've become too powerful.
I liked it. I'm seeing folks dunk on it because it doesn't provide any useful call to action which is true. The protagonists just try to :vote: their way to salvation and they all die in the end. But, I think it serves as a perfect cautionary tale to radicalize folks without the film itself being too directly off-putting ideologically. I think the emotionality the actors put into the "We're fucked and that's scientific fact" could push those in the global north to take climate change more seriously. I think clips of "Don't look up" will circle youtube in the future similar to this one and ultimately serve to start paving the way towards more radicalization. Personally I think anything that says "hey, business as usual is fucked" brings folks one step closer to :back-to-me:. Imagine the potential of "Hey you know how they all die in the end? Imagine if in that one scene with the riot if they actually had overthrown the government. I wonder if they would have survived."
Also, jennifer lawrence is hot and nihilist astrophysicist grad student deciding to makeout because "fuck it we're all gonna die" was a real vibe.
