Get mad?

The True Left has been too passive, while the False Left often goes on rampages along with their Rightist mirror images... however what can the True Left do?

Maybe... get "Mad as Hell!"

Classic scene from Network (1976) but this very thing also happened in Germany in 1932, albeit much more eloquently and with much more inspiration. This version borders on Proud Boy-style sheer aggression.



Also of note is the "The World is a Corporation scene"



At 1:56 - "The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country..." and then it can hit you... director Sidney Lumet and writer Paddy Chayefsky were Jews, thus they implicated the wrong people in the background money meddling. One of the cynical lead characters is even named Diana Christiansen to further drive the movies viewpoint, the world sucks but it's never the fault of the "God's Chosen."

The lesson is therefore partly what is said - the failures of capitalism - but also what isn't said - who are the string pullers, and then full circle back to what is said - how those string pullers describe the world's problems in films such as this: skillful misinformation.

EDIT: I just noticed this would probably be better placed in "True Left Breakthrough: Hate".
