I feel like applauding that. Hilarious and well-executed.

Seriously, though. Wes Anderson could direct a Spider-Man movie and I'd be all for it. I see no reason why a Spider-Man movie has to be a $200 million dollar global event.

Did anyone here read "Spider-Man's Tangled Web" series circa 2002? It was a series all about the various villains in Spider-Man's life. The tone of most stories combined tragedy with comedy. Like a Wes Anderson movie. Give Wes Anderson $60 million and let him adapt "Flowers for Rhino". I bet it would win a fucking oscar.

I really hate to Godwin (although I guess I'm not comparing a poster to Hitler so I think it avoids that rule) but does anyone else see the similarity between where America is heading and the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party in Germany..?

Seriously, use a global event:

-Nazi's, The Great Depression
-America, 9/11

link it at a certain subset of people:

-Nazi's, the Jews
-America, the Muslims

to create fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD, one of the greatest tools of the propagandist):

-Nazi's, Hitler made out that the Jew's controlled a lot of wealth and were living the high life while "aryan" German's faced starvation.
-America, lol, everyones a fucking terrorist... Make sure you check your fear-ometer before leaving the house...

Start altering laws, reducing personal freedoms, reducing the right to protest, making people feel isolated from their neighbours because of ethnic differences, extreme nationalism.

And then finally go to war:

-Nazi's, annexation of Austria and eventually the invasion of Poland.
-America, Iraq, making hungry eyes at Iran and seems to be balls deep in a plan to get the cold war started again, ironically, in Poland...

Meanwhile, to silent dissent on the home front, use policing forces for clandestine raids in the middle of the night aimed at people with a different political agenda or sympathies that don't gel with the ruling regime...

/looks at the video again, checks the box

The only difference between the two is that now the government has a much harder time controlling the media effectively. All the information is profferred for examination and what remains is for people to be righteously outraged at their liberties being stolen away, even though those liberties are supposedly enshrined in the very Constitution your country was built upon.

It remains to be seen if enough American's still remember how to stand up for themselves against what looks, smells and feels like a fascist tyranny...
