  • It was WAY less anti-communist than I’m used to. I felt like it acknowledged the anti-communist bent of many characters and it distorted Marxism somewhat, but on the whole? I felt like I was watching the same movie liberals were watching, and that’s rare. The most anti-communist characters in the movie were political enemies of the protagonist and I feel like the sense of unease they invoked was intentional on the part of the director. It felt like Nolan understood that Franco and the white army were fascists, and that the audience was meant at times to be cheering for people who had held membership in the Communist party. It could have been way worse.



  • Judaism with its doctrine of the jews as the “Chosen People” is an ethnosupremacist ideology. The promised land which was to be rid of philistines through divinely sanctioned genocide is the prototype for Manifest Destiny and Lebensraum. Devout Jews routinely oppose race mixing. The problem with ethnosupremacist ideologies is that there can be only one master race, so they must displace one another with severe prejudice. All men are created equal, and any ethnicity that refuses to accept that is going to provoke conflict until it gets delusions of supremacy beat out of it or ceases to exist.
