Equilibrium

Could it happen?

Has anyone in the SubStack Universe (I’m making the SSU a thing) ever watched Equilibrium? I think it was a pretty decent film that was made and released at the wrong time (it was released during the hype of the The Matrix films).

For those that have seen it please bear with me whilst I quickly explain it using an excerpt from Wikipedia . I’ll also post a trailer for it.

“Equilibrium is a 2002 American science fiction film written and directed by Kurt Wimmer, and starring Christian Bale, Emily Watson, and Taye Diggs. The film follows Bale as John Preston, an enforcement officer in a future in which feelings and artistic expression are outlawed, and a society where its citizens are forced to take psychoactive drugs to suppress emotion. After accidentally missing a dose, Preston awakens and begins to uncover the suspicious inner workings of the regime governing the totalitarian state.”

Here’s the trailer.

So the reason I bring it up is because who else thinks this is the way the Progressive Left could be heading?

Everyone wears shades of grey so that they’re not offensive to any other group. Would they give up the Pride Flag though or would it be in shades of grey?

No new art is made so it doesn’t offends people, in fact it’s destroyed in the name of the Progress. Different ethnic groups must only create authorised art based on where you were born to avoid cultural appropriation.

Look at the comedy produced. Only the correct jokes can be made. Say goodbye to Dave Chapelle and others.

Books. They must follow the rules or not be made whilst all old books are destroyed.

Look at the things they destroy with DIE which is nearly everything people love.

Now I know what you might be thinking.

“But Vulkan, the progressive Left are ruled by their emotions. they don’t suppress them” I hear you shout.

I agree. Unfortunately those emotions are jealousy, envy and anger. Not very nice emotions, lets be frank. How long until they go further than trying to stop puberty in children and start stunting or blocking emotions which are already side effects when using some medications.

It’s common knowledge that the Left have more mental health issues so it’s not a huge leap to see them on more medications than those with Right or Moderate leaning political inclinations. (I would like to state that I don’t mean EVERYONE on the left has mental health issues or is on medication.)

Could they Progress enough where they decide that feelings need to go as well as your genitals? It certainly means that people would be more controllable. Eat the bugs unfeeling human. Obviously the rich would be exempt from taking and medication.

The part I pulled below from the film description really jumps out at me.

“After accidentally missing a dose, Preston awakens and begins to uncover the suspicious inner workings of the regime governing the totalitarian state.”

Christian Bale’s character is basically Red-Pilled and starts a mini-war on the Government (something I don’t recommend. Peaceful protests please) in a quest to be FREE to FEEL.

If you have never watched the film then please watch and and comment what you think. If the progressive Left got their way could you see them going this far to stay in power?

I could see them forcibly injecting people with some emotion inhibiting “vaccine” at the end of a gun which is why I’m now suffering with envy that Americans have 2A.

I’m aware that my thoughts at this moment are very hyperbolic. These scenarios should never (touch wood) ever happen. I just feel like I can see similarities between the emotionless people in the film that repeat the propaganda and are useless NPC’s and today’s progressive Left. Please comment on if you agree or disagree with me.

On a lighter note the I thought the movie was brilliant. It introduced me to Gun-Kata.

It is described in the film as:

“Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically-predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents, while keeping the defender clear of the statistically-traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120 percent. The difference of a 63 percent increased lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.”

Either way it looks bloody cool.

Anyways I think i’ll wrap things up here. What I’ve written above will hopefully never come to pass but then again 15 years ago I didn’t think people would be mutilating children and cheering it on or having men beat on women as an Olympic sport so who the hell knows lol.

There’s another fantastic film from the 90’s that seems to have predicted the future a little and I think I might write about that as well.

Here’s a hint. MDK.

Please like, share your thoughts and Re-Stack. I appreciate it and you.

I hope I find you all happy and healthy.
