@@pofruin Like everything, it depends on how far you take it. There should be some safety - you wouldn't want to get on a plane that's not airworthy or go to a doctor who isn't properly qualified. Taking unnecessary risks is daft. But it's a question of degree. Unfortunately, we've swung an 180 degree turn, and now ANY risk is considered too much. You cannot exist without some risks; life wouldn't be worth living unless there was some degree of risk. This film was so visionary. It drew on things that were happening at the time and took them to their logical conclusion. How do we eliminate all risk in society? By tightly regulating people's behaviour, by not allowing them to make mistakes. So we're all wrapped up in cotton wool and bubble wrap and we can't possibly hurt ourselves. But we can't live, either.

Basically white leftist elitists generate hate and violence between races, until blacks kill off all the non-elite whites, and if course the minorities aren't smart enough to run things afterwards so the white saviors of the leftist elite will need to step in and run their lives for them.

Brave new world was the inspiration of Demolition man. Demolition man actually references Brave New World on a number of points but is sort of a synthesis of the 2, as Brave new world maintains order by making peoples lives entirely frivolous to the point that no one cares what is going on around them and they dont bother to fight the system that grants them unending pleasure. But people also like to reference the classics. give it 70 years and scholars may reference Demolition man.

This leads to conformist wankers who tow the line.

One missed theme is the benevolent leader Cocteau, in order to sustain his utopia and further improve it (i.e. a perfect world without violence, without the scraps), has to make a "deal with the devil" with Phoenix in order to get him to use violence to achieve the utopian goal of eliminating the scraps (the ol' "the ends justifies the means" scenario), all the while Cocteau expects and thinks he can control Pheonix, who ends up overrunning him, taking over, and killing the weak leader anyway. Sort of like what a certain Peterson fellow talked about regarding communist utopias created by those who mean well, but who ultimately get overthrown by those not afraid to use violence to take power by any means necessary.

Wherever there is a power vacuum...the corrupt will always flood in to seize control. It cannot be avoided, which is why we've never seen an actual working example of "real" communism or "pure" socialism. They simply are not compatible with human nature. Such movements are always, inevitably corrupted by power mongers who understand how easy such a society is to control with absolute authority. That is how you end up with regimes like North Korea and the USSR.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.” -- C.S. Lewis

When I graduated high school in 2006 I watched this at a friends house and I said there is no way you can legislate people to be nice to each other, at that time Political Correctness was still a punchline. Since 2010 this movie has gotten so many things right about American society it's scary.

except.... the writer is a leftist, and so was likely portraying a capitalist dystopia. It's kind of like all the people who think that Orwell was some great right wing thinker, not realizing that he was a far-leftist, and fought with the communists in the spanish civil war. Now, it's entirely possible that 30 years ago, he had different views, because unlike what people on the left and right both think, people can change and their views can evolve over time. But I think people see what they want to see out of something. for example, if you're a leftist, you're going to see this as some capitalist dystopia, where a single corporation has taken over this massive megapolis and that the language policing and spying is a result of inspiration of various fascist regimes over the last century, he did write this coming out of Ronald Reagan and George Bush Sr. If you're a right-winger, you're going to see things as you explained, and tie certain social phenomonon that have really become a big thing, like cancel culture and political correctness and tie it to that. (Though similar things happen in far right wing societies like Russia, as much as it did in far left wing societies like the USSR. Authoritarianism, is always bad, no matter what political bent they have.) Certain things like abortion and sex being illegal, you have this all reigning corporation overlord, the capitalist method of making paying for things easier. Things like sex drugs and rock and roll being outlawed I think is pretty heavy handed. But I can also see things that one would peg on liberals as well.

Despite this, the first time I saw Cocteau I knew the guy was an asshole and the real villain. Seeing police unable to "police" was ridiculous, but we're seeing it start to happen nowadays. I still watch this movie every couple months, one of my favorite Sly movies.

Lol TDS and the woke ideology have infected the minds of people and rendered them unable to understand humor. Once I realized that Trump was just mad trolling people, I laughed at the things he was saying while others were getting butthurt. People on the left have lost all sense of humor which is why they can’t seem to understand how to make memes. They try and fail miserably. It is truly the American dark ages from the cultural left. Thankfully the right has a much more fun sense of humor.

"How can safety be oppressive?" Really, that should be the mantra of our time. It's remarkable that a film made 27 years ago presaged our society so exactly. And yet it's based on an old idea; it's a near rendition of "Brave New World" of 1932 into film, (oc, Huxley is named after its author). I smoke menthol cigarettes, and they've just been banned in my country. I'll be ill; I know because I've tried to give up before. But this time I'm being forced. The purists have turned their attention to anything, from alcohol and unhealthy foods to Firework Night. The young of today have no idea of what they're missing, because they've had no experience of it. Taking responsibility for yourself - in everything you do - is in the past. With freedom comes some risk. Now Government orders you how to lead your life; not only your actions, but your thoughts and the way you're supposed to feel. It's not a nanny-state, it's a bully-state. We may be safer, but we're definitely a lot less free.

Demolition Man was a brilliant bit of social commentary. It also used an inversion on Stallone's common character as he transitions from his normal 'blow them up' (ie: Demolition Man) role to being the level headed interlocutor who tells the upper dwellers to get a little more anarchistic - but at the same time, tells the Scraps that they need to get less anarchistic. Side note: Your clip shows the restaurant as 'Pizza Hut' which means it's a European copy of the movie. In North America, the Franchise Wars were won by 'Taco Bell'.

Demolition man was truly a satire if you paid close attention (or we're educated in the purpose of a satire itself.) This movie, especially the scene where Phoenix is approached by "Protect and Serve", exposes the stupidity of where society is heading. In that one scene the extreme liberal and socialist values led to a police force with no power to combat societies harsh offenders. With no system of checks and balanced in place (a police force) one violent offender man took out an entire pacifist police force on his own. Strength in numbers is not enough; you have to have resources to equally combat those whom look to take advantage of society. This whole movie keys in on a very important reality. Resources must be committed to upholding a higher moral standard. If not the lowest common denominator can destroy everything of the whole and ruin it for everyone in the process. Sometimes you have to fight power with power.

People really say that about clapping? That is extreme and stupid. I am a leftist and have never met someone who believes that. That being said, here is my question for you. Why do people have such a hard time with the idea that when a person asks you to respect their pronouns that when you don't, you are in the wrong? I would agree that this should be kept out of policy. However, this stands for both sides. There should never be legislation restricting a person from identifying and living as they choose in this manner. Respecting a person's pronouns does no harm to you, however, your disregard for them does cause harm. In the extreme, people who are against using correct pronouns are only a few steps away from being people that would tie up and drag another human down a dirt road from the back of a truck.

A crucial line from Cocteau - “The dead are dead and cannot affect the living” (something like that) This could allude to the placement of all society’s faith in science and an abandonment of the past.
