Trevor Lynch argues that the new Masters of the Universe film (streaming now on Amazon Prime) is a subversive masterpiece of Right-wing cinema:

"Masters of the Universe is for manliness and power. It is against liberalism, wokeness, feminism, and weakness. Moreover, although this movie has many genuinely comic scenes, it does not poke fun at good things. It saves mockery for the evil and stupid; it attacks cynicism and irony directed at the good. These are very healthy messages."

". . . this reboot is politically interesting, because at Amazon (of all places), wokeness didn’t parody Masters of the Universe. Indeed, the new Masters of the Universe parodies wokeness."

🇷🇺 - 15 hours ago, Alexander Dugin, a so-called Russian 'philosopher', spammed on X calling for the destruction of the entire White people.

One of the metaphysical axioms of paranoids is that everything in real life is as intentional as the elements of a work of fiction. The world is "just like a movie." It is a construct. The Brahmin/Spencer book's plausibility rests on offering interpretations of movies (none too plausible interpretations, but leave that aside), then applying the same approach to myth and religion. It is assumed, without argument, that myths and religions are simply "made up" by authors in order to achieve their goals in the same way as movies are. But myths don't have authors, and although myths are untrue, they are not just "made up" like movies. Instead, it is more likely that human beings (and even protohumans) believed in gods before they were able to consciously create fictions as tools to manipulate others.
