Yes everyone knows that American left is still pretty damn right. But it’s the left in America. I don’t care about the global spectrum.
I disagree with your lighthearted assessment of the film’s values.
I saw all business and political elites being portrayed as truly sociopathic villains, and just generally, assholes in private contexts.
I saw conservatives being portrayed as fucking idiots. Like showing the military commander shooting an assault rifle at the comet, or the Fox News equivalent covering stupid content instead of the meteor.
I saw constant appeals to young liberal folks as the only ones that get it. And for some reason Arianna Grande.
If this movie were clearly a comedy, sure, but it frequently tried to be a serious film, and I think it just adds chaos and anger to what is otherwise an important set of issues. This is just as divisive as the bullshit the movie calls out.
- Jtsummers 5y ago> Like showing the military commander shooting an assault rifle at the comet I haven't seen it, but that sounds like a sendup to Doctor Strangelove. What are you going to do when faced with your inevitable death? Why not something totally absurd! Like ride a nuclear bomb or shoot futilely at a comet heading your way.

- oneoff786 5y agoFWIW that was also my favorite part. It was a great scene. It was very separate from the rest of the film. Funny. Clear satire.
