Kylie Jenner ads at bus stops for google glass are some sci fi dystopia shit on their own. They Live was exactly about this.

Meta glasses, whatever. Same shit different pile.

"They Live" will remain relevant until capitalism is dead and buried.

[–] TheoryofChange@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

I love they live

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

this says something since he movie is well past the gestalt of the current 2 generations of young adults. lol

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 1 points 2 months ago

Only the first 30 minutes. The rest basically is capitalism

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 26 points 2 months ago (3 children)

It's still boggles my mind that the foundation of the Kardashian/Jenner business empire is a (probably intentionally) leaked sex tape.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

it tells you where humanity is at rn.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah for sure.

[–] dRLY@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago

Same here. Such a weird level of social "power" given to them without actual reason. At least the old capitalist families actually had functionally important capital control with oil, land, industrial production. The Kardashian/Jenner families are just famous and rich for being famous and rich. And they (and many others like them) have inspired so many people to aspire to get famous and rich via clout chasing instead of anything else. Becoming a plague of thinking they are smart about stuff just because of their follower count.

man i know some people with schizophrenia that would lose it after seeing that

[–] iByteABit@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

yeah I didn't think about it but it's so true

[–] krisevol@lemmus.org 14 points 2 months ago (10 children)

Isn't this an ad from a country that has the most cameras on the street watching people and tracking their movements m

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (16 children)

lol yeah, although not sure if UK or the US have more cameras at this point

[–] krisevol@lemmus.org 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

The UK by density for sure, but total would be America

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

yeah that sounds about right

[–] dRLY@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah the massive amounts of land that have no towns or even houses in the western half of the USA throws the density curve pretty dramatically. Makes it seem like the USA isn't the surveillance state it really is, while making other smaller (land wise) surveillance states seem worse. With the density looking less problematic, it really lets the frog that is the American populace not notice the water getting closer to boiling.

I'd be surprised if the Flock plague didn't tip the scales in favor of the US

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

it's definitely a tight race here

Anyone remember 'culture jamming'?

[–] tourist@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

is that when bacteria researchers play Bob Marley tracks in the lab

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 4 points 2 months ago

We're jammin in the name of pee-tree

[–] happysplinter@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

😂😂😂😂😂

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I, thought, the monsters in They Live were aliens, but I think they’re a metaphor for the parasitic wealth class.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Full Movie if you want to join the discussion.

Definitely a metaphor.
