That reminds me that I eventually sussed out that Adam Curtis’ documentary films are doomer porn. Some things he gets right, some things he gets very wrong, and he never offers solutions in the final analysis.

Really indicative of the American zeitgeist. Everyone knows there’s something wrong but they can’t really land on a solution, or simply cannot break through the immense propaganda to do so. Meanwhile the people existing on the very fringes of society are falling into the old lines (socialism VRs barbarism).

It's the same thing with stuff like Don't Look Up. Since any meaningful solution requires dismantling the current capitalist system, it becomes unthinkable.
