Glass Onion (Woke Nihilism as Monarch Mind Control)
Added 2023-01-18 20:36:01 +0000 UTCSpoilers in this episode for Knives Out, Glass Onion, and The Menu.
Thomas analyzes Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, finding its combination of mind control symbolism, woke sanctimony, and terrible filmmaking repugnant enough to be somewhat instructive. Speaking to several major political controversies of the last few years, Glass Onion reveals the parallels between individual instances of mind control and broader programs of social destruction. Its messaging demonstrates the institutionalized nihilism of the elite worldview, for which Hollywood directors like Rian Johnson are loyal propagandists.
Correction: "Miles" at 19:16 is meant to be "Benoit"
