RODNEY KING COLLAPSE

I’m going to briefly mention the TV show “Walking Dead”, but as an example.  This is not a review per se or an acknowledgement that the program is anything other than mindless entertainment with the occasional nugget of Prepper Wisdom thrown in.  The problem with the show is that there are SOOOOoooooo many pieces of crap disguised as survivalism that they will all get you killed before the nuggets come in handy.  Mostly, you watched the show, if you ever did, just for the anthropology.  The human interaction dynamics.  How the other asshats would treat you and what to expect.  Okay, spoiler alert for season eight ( the one new on Netflix ).

*

Thank all the gods that Carl the main guy Rick’s son was killed off.  Helping some stranger.  The message was, hey, I was being a decent human being and treating others well and he turned out to be a doctor so, yeah, me, and You Go Girl on diversity is our strength.  I’ve always hated that whiny petulant little humper.  He has annoyed me from day one.  Well, most characters do.  They are all so friggin stupid that you want them all to die.  But Carl annoyed me the most, so good riddance you twat.  Prior to getting back on grid and Netflix, I had been buying the series on DVD’s.  I had a lot of money invested in the show, and so I took these kinds of things personally.

*

Rick tried to tell Carl that Tribe Comes First.  The little butt wipe was never listening.  So his stupid ass got bit, which is great.  I suppose that viewers could take away either lesson.  Darwin Rules, or He Was A Better Person And Sacrificed Himself.  Yet to me, and granted this just might be me, it seems that this season the show finally Jumped The Shark.  It used to allow valuable lessons to be learned, by characters dying and teaching the others.  This was what attracted me to it.  How warring societies acted.  How tribalism was going to work out through war and scarcity.  This season though, it seemed to have veered into just propaganda.  Left propaganda.

*

The show was always stupid about Political Correctness, I grant you.  Bitches Be Warriors being the primary sin.  Instead of keeping the females safe to breed, they were risking their lives. Then, the group takes on strangers to keep their numbers up.  That is exactly the wrong answer long term.  And yes, I know this is just the immediate aftermath and the dynamics will be different, but it was the over the top Grrrl Power bullcrap I’m talking about.  I accepted that because the other Life Lessons were interesting.  Like, how the groups fed themselves ( never adequately explained although touched on ) or how they came up with devious methods of combating each other.  It was just food for thought, even if very lacking in nutrients.

*

Yet this season just got extra stupid on almost everything.  They just stood there and auto-fired.  All the time.  At very short distances.  And didn’t hit a thing.  Hell, one zombie is ten yards away.  And they give him a burst.  ONE friggin zombie.  No threat.  Meah, what’s another three to five cartridges, right?  As they stand around complaining about ammo running low.  Was this just trying for a little sizzle to titillate the GameBoys watching the show?  Was this what was going to pass for action from now on?  And then Neegan’s ( spelling? ) group has the Braniac making ammo for them as if it is all some mystery how to load the things but the reloading components were no big deal.

*

That was one reason I was thinking the LefTards had hijacked the show.  They almost seem to be highlighting how evil full auto plastic guns are, because they think they are magic.  They don’t understand tactics or logistics.  They just know Evil Weapons in the hands of Righteous Folks In Charge is good, but otherwise only Bad Dirt People having them is terrible and taking them away makes everything okay.  You don’t need logic or intelligence to be a Left-ee, just indoctrination.  Is this why we’ve been seeing the recent acts where the surrounded soldiers ALWAYS lay down their arms and surrender?  Seems symbolic.

*

Who the hell thinks it is a good idea to surrender when you are going to get killed or tortured, and not in that order?  But all the time, “ooooh, we are surrounded.  We must give up!”.  Tell me that isn’t poorly done propaganda.  Give up your guns and give up trying to fight.  And then when you do, despite all logic that the only way to treat you, in the absence of a slave market, is to kill you because we are out of food ourselves, they always have a Happy Ever After ending.  Bah!  But let me return to the main topic of this post.  All through the season they kept pounding in the message that Can’t We All Just Get Along?  You know, Rodney King stupid ass crap.

*

Carl got bit after he refuses to believe you only help your own, never others outside the tribe.  And then, after enduring a few weepy episodes all about what a perfect and swell guy Carl was ( despite being a moron and NEVER listening to his elders ), the rest of the season we get to listen to the letters Carl wrote to everyone telling them all how they needed to stop fighting each other and make peace and get into a big group hug.  And in the end, because Our Hero’s were trying to live up to the gospel according to Saint Carl, the Amazon Bitches joined in the righteous fight and once again the females came to the rescue ( using upper body strength weapons, naturally! ) and saved all the puny unworthy males that they only listened to if they were sensitive and shared their feelings.

*

Besides all the PC nonsense, and the huge big stinking turd of the “war, what is it good for?” pounded home propaganda, the show was for the first time, at least for me, just completely boring.  There was no tension or a feeling of looking forward to the next show.  I actually for the first time had to force myself to watch through each episode ( kind of like the second half of the original BBC series “Survivors” ).  In the case of the DVD collection, it was to get my monies worth. In the case of Walking Dead, it was because there was nothing else survivalist related to watch.  I feel pathetic and weak.

*

Tomorrow, no talk of the Walking Dead, just about the fallacy of thinking there will ever be peace or cooperation.  That will all be obvious, but I feel the need to reiterate.  Until then.
