Haven't done an AMA on here since Mewgenics came out, but now that people have had time to get into it, why not ask me some questions about it? Curious about any design decisions? How bosses came to be? Or whatever else. Ask away. I'm here for about 30 minutes

Reread this this morning and I realized what’s at the core of what bothers me about the politics of OBAA: This movie substitutes the real threat revolutionaries pose to the state (dismantling systems of inequality) with a biracial daughter who threatens one racist’s career advancement. This isn’t a film about Leo’s character being targeted by the state for liberating detention centers or blowing up the power grid or bombing anti-choice Senators’ offices. This is a film about Bob (or rather, his kid) being targeted by a cop because he needs to hide DNA evidence of miscegenation. So he can get a job. In real life, revolutionary movements are snuffed out not because the deep state is obsessed with the racial purity of a cop’s kids. (Lots of white supremacists have POC partner. See eg the killer ICE agent and his Asian wife.) In real life, the deep state hunts you down bc of your *beliefs* and your *practice* of working toward dismantling corrupt and exploitative systems that benefit elites. The film decenters the revolutionary work— quarantining it into the rushed first 30 min of the film before sidelining it so completely that Bob’s revolutionary work becomes irrelevant to the manhunt plot line. (The *real* crime is that Bob is harboring evidence of Lockjaw’s Black girl kink!) It’s like PTA looked around at the world and said ‘mixed race kids are the *real* threat to the world order.’ Which, frankly, is a very common liberal mentality (eg “Barack Obama and other biracial folks are gonna save the world! There will be no inequality when we’re all mixed”).

He could've made a movie about superficially invested "woke" college kids participating in BLM but voting for Biden -- the architect of the modern police state. He could have written a movie that skewered BLM leadership stealing money. There are ways to be critical of revolutionary movements that are honest and resonant. He could've also written a movie about what *actually* derails movements: Not people getting old and losing their principles (a right wing talking point), but revolutionaries being snuffed out by the state and squeezed into penury by capitalism. (Eg sell out or die). Instead, he just ... made up a completely disjoined fantasy world. He might as well written a movie that said "the real critique of revolution is that feral hogs are always getting in the way." Like, it just was completely disconnected from reality. Why even use revolution as a backdrop if you really want to write about feral hogs? Anyway, I just recorded an episode about how the CIA took over the academic left and Hollywood: patreon.com/posts/full-vid…
