1547-1917: Nothing much. That’s the point of a Tsardom. 1917: Big mad (also other things) 1918: Actually we’re going to do it too. Kind of have to honestly. 1919-1990: Nothing much. That’s the point of a dictatorship of the proletariat? 1991: Big collapse 1992-2024: Nothing much. That’s the point of a

Mass adoption of cellphones, social media, streaming services and the destruction of third spaces. Endless entertainment, decreased socialization.
People have been fucking while living with their parents for most of humanity. That’s not the problem, at least in terms of first experiences.

Yes, unless it’s not. Ultimately “dark matter” just means we don’t know how our current models match observed reality, but it’s entirely possible the models or the observations are just fucking wrong.

In this case “they” is a fairly small city and its sense of tradition, so you will find “they” is actually “because the people wanted to.”

I’d say more refugees than immigration per se, but yeah, it’s about that too. The great thing about a metaphor about “othering” people is it can apply to a lot of things. Racism, immigration, jingoism, homophobia, etc.
It’s taken mostly as a metaphor for apartheid because of the, you know, country and the apartheid they did in recent history and the apartheid done in the movie, but there’s plenty of meaning to be found in “don’t be a bigot and don’t let people starve out of neglect and spite.”

Tbh, the sequel is the aliens come back and conquer humanity, but since the whole thing is a metaphor for apartheid politics, the sequel plays into a bit of a different narrative than anti-racism.
Though it’d honestly be pretty great if the sequel was the aliens don’t come back, but Earth tears itself apart worrying about what will happen if they do.
- Comment on We can dream right 6 months ago:
How dare sci-fi explore political issues, like the tendency of humanity to resort to othering people that make them uncomfortable.
