Black Mirror (Incredible TV Show)

The best explanation so far for "National Anthem" is that peoples faces are too deep into screens to pay attention to the waking world around them. It seems to go off on a small scale about gossip rags and rabid news coverage.

It is an excellent show - especially 15 MILLION MERITS is noteworthy.

I am gonna take a look at the Christmas special with Jon Hamm.

I thought that dude looked familiar! I've never seen Mad Men

White Christmas started out like a low-budget version of the movie Hitch with unrealistic gender interractions and a beta-mentality perception of Game, but after the first 30 minutes it progressed so well that it finished up as a red-pill masterpiece! The ending threw a bucket of icy water in the face of every heterosexual male viewer who is not as concerned about the SJW movement as he should be. Every heterosexual man in the West needs to watch this episode.

I warned you.








Seriously, I'm not kidding




Watched all 7 episodes today. AWESOME.
I'd heard about this series a long time ago and ended up watching
1) Orphan Black - which is a good series, but you guys will go off on some anti-SJW rant
2) Utopia - which again features some bad ass chicks, which of course will set off the Roissy Alarms

But I hadn't watched these, until today.

National Anthem
- terrorism
- performance art
- twitter, ubiquitous camera phones
- his wife is unwilling to let the pig fucker off
- the female aide to the pm 1) takes a little violence, 2) stands by her man, 3) keeps important facts from her
- the scenario could happen today

15 million merits
- assortative mating - chunky Asian girl wants the black guy who wants the white girl
- white knighting - 1) his dead brother's credits, 2) her getting pushed into porn, 3) his statement
- getting fame for something righteous and cashing in on your credibility
- buying shit for virtual selves
- the ginger seeking approval, and always buying things for his virtual self to feel better about his real self (Roosh hit on this idea when he pulled the rep point system)

Entire History of You
- alpha fucks, beta bucks
- lying females
- how men torture themselves with women's infidelity
- replaying your own memories, living in the past

Be Right Back
- your online persona is a static image, and it'll never capture all of you. (arguably, your online avatar is deeper than your real life in some aspects - i.e. there are few people I could really talk about the game with in real life - not to this degree. Red Pill as well)
- women's nature to say one thing, and want the other

White Bear
- the public's willingness to inflict pain on those we deem worthy of it.
- cellphone/worldstar culture
- sensationalism

Waldo Moment
- the problem with Russel Brand, Colbert, Stewart, Limbaugh, et cetera. Writers for House of Cards said they had to make Frank Underwood a democrat, because the Net Flix audience ASSUMES that's how the Republicans are. (i'd also argue that a lot of people on the left wish that all SJW's were as mercenary as they think the right is)
- Again, sexual/romantic frustration

White X-Mas
- the first act was straight out of the game
- keys to the vip (the gallery of rogues - although i'm loving the fact that the other players were multi-cultural),
- the defense of game against the regular guy calling the dude in the story a dork
- cautionary tale of getting what you wish for
- 2nd act of breaking a spirit, a piece of code in this case - in order to get them to comply
- 3rd act of yet another duplicitous chick (Asian Player for the win), who fucks over a dude because she can't face up to her infidelity
- the epilogue of freedom for Don Draper not being really free, and Nebbish dude going insane

All of these stories feature horrible women for the most part.

Even the one that's about a woman, is about a woman who forces her hubby to move out to the country, and then is too busy with "work", which is why he ends up dying on the road.

Two instances of the Baby ain't Yours. (X-Mas and History)
One insufferable wife who won't share in the sacrifice of her husband
Insufferable not talent bitch, who incidentally is a photo negative of Bjork. (lol)
A chick who can't support another chick (15)
A chick who has no sense of self and would rather prostitute herself than be thought of as ordinary
Crazy bitch in X-Mas
A bitch who can't return a fucking text or phone call, and then gives the dude the brush off

I won't even speak on White Bear, but the "partner in crime" theme shows up in other places in the series.

The dudes don't come off really too cool either (other than the Alpha in History of You), but if you don't see the "ugly truths" about women in every single episode - maybe you don't get the red pill.

What's most interesting is that almost all of the chicks, except the chick with voices in her head, are all typical chicks doing typical things. There's no "gone girl" crazy sociopath.

I'm sure Jezebel or XoJane will have a field day if they ever think about it

SPOILER POST

I'm glad someone else brought up -Waldo Moment-. We are living a waldo moment to a lesser degree. The art behind it for me was trying to tell people to put in the hard work and accept that not everything is always pleasant in order for it to be the right thing.

White Christmas- has a deep anticensorship message behind it with the "blocking" feature that is forced upon people with relative ease.
There is a large amount of anti-male sentiment in that hypothetical culture. It's illegal to be a date coach for them so I wonder if the movie Hitch would banned in that sort of reality. There is a good amusing take on personal safety inside that theme. Did the makers of the personal block system not account for the possible dangers inherent in not being able to see people physically present in front of you?

I love this show. A friend told me about it Saturday, and I watched every episode over the weekend. I think it's a more modern, and darker Twilight Zone. The White Bear episode (Season 2 Episode 2) was a twist that I didn't see coming. I'm hooked. Hats off to you Brits for making some good television.

:clap:

In the White Christmas episode it was quite freaky how they created an AI clone of a person who is then extracted from the brain of the unconscious person and the viewer can see from the 1st person as the "person" is extracted from the brain. As if ones souls is taken out of ones own body in a device where you leave your body behind(seeing the former body that you were taken out of) from the brain and ending up inserted into a cookie. That sequence scared me. :s

Some things you forgot:

15 million merits
- assortative mating - chunky Asian girl wants the black guy who wants the white girl
- white knighting - 1) his dead brother's credits, 2) her getting pushed into porn, 3) his statement
- getting fame for something righteous and cashing in on your credibility
- buying shit for virtual selves
- the ginger seeking approval, and always buying things for his virtual self to feel better about his real self (Roosh hit on this idea when he pulled the rep point system)
-COPIUS AMOUNTS OF FAT SHAMING I mean damn that was like a whole 'nother undercurrent of the episode, the fattys were second class citizens only to be made to clean up after the guys on the bikes and be made fun of in those shows. Then showing the fat shaming WORKING (as in that one guy trying to lose weight)

Also: being Forced to "participate in the rat race(bikes)" and FORCED to consume media in the little box of a room they get.


Waldo Moment
- the problem with Russel Brand, Colbert, Stewart, Limbaugh, et cetera. Writers for House of Cards said they had to make Frank Underwood a democrat, because the Net Flix audience ASSUMES that's how the Republicans are. (i'd also argue that a lot of people on the left wish that all SJW's were as mercenary as they think the right is)
- Again, sexual/romantic frustration
-Giving up your future because of one-itis Yeah he wasn't liking where the Waldo character was going, but he was going a long with it. . .until he boned that 4 who was running for PM, bitch dumped him so he said "fuck it" and that pretty much made him explode. BUT, he had one itis form that chick and pissed it all away, ends up a BUM when he could have RULED THE FUCKING WORLD and be drowning in pussy, like kublia khan in Marco polo (I only watched up until the point where Marco was getting one-itis from one of Kubla Khans wives after kahn telling him that he could have a spot in the 5 some sex dungeon-because he's a fucking idiot I actually stopped watching that show because of that one-itis shit.

The REAL Marco Polo was probably cappin' flags like crazy, since he spent his whole LIFE traveling, and being loved by the royal courts where he stayed. He would have no NEED for gettin all doe-eyed of a bitch.


One thing I DID like about the history of YOU ep was
1)the guy knocked that dude out
2)he left that bitch at the end
3)nothing bad happened to him at the end.

Basically dude got a dose of Red pill and was better for it.


X-mas episode, I would think that the Jon Hamm char at the end would just, leave the country and go to SEA or some place as I'm pretty sure the block wouldn't work in a different country, the dude probably has enough money to lives there for a year or so while getting a mobile buisness started. Especially since he knows game he'll be just fine in my opinion.

The second season overall more distressing than depressing, except for the finale. I dared to hope for a happy ending and that got tased and batoned.

Also WYB Chloe Pirrie (the female politician)

Here's Charlie Brooker's 2014 wipe:



It gets real deep about halfway in. You can definitely see the inspiration behind the black Mirror eps (you can see it in all his other previous stuff as well.)

If you have time, watch the Black Mirror Christmas Special, then read this post from Roosh, then dig deep into quantum physics. (Warning: it's likely that watching a couple of YouTube videos won't be enough to really get it).

Even if you are skeptical, sticking only to what the world's foremost scientists are saying about the implications of quantum physics will blow your mind.

If you have taken on board all this, you might be ready for Tom Campbell. Settle back.
