There's something really amusing about all of these being works of fiction.

finally, someone who sees through the bullshit lie known as "Brazil"

EDIT: okay so apparently Brazil is a movie as well as a country. I just assumed whoever made this was dunking on the entire nation of Brazil

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 32 points 5 days ago

It'd a good movie

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 34 points 5 days ago

I'm more amazed Harry Potter wasn't worked in there

Love how the libs discovered Project 2025 approximately 4 months ago and are suddenly up in arms like “Evangelicals gaining power and trying to force Christofascism on the masses?!?! THIS IS THE FIRST WE ARE HEARING OF THIS!!!!”

Wait until they find out about Reagan

[-] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

Wait until they find out about Eisenhower and Billy Graham

omg project 2025 is just like the bad guy in the new marvel movie libbing-out

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 21 points 5 days ago

They should have made Thor and The Hulk their own buddy duo after Ragnarok (one of rhe few not guardians marvel slops I've seen) and just went around space and sometimes earth bashing the hell out of shitty people.

'Hey The Incredible Hulk, there's no Asgard and clearly outer space is bullshit. I've got a hammer that smashes good...'

"HULK SMASH!"

"Exactly, so let's just smash stuff we don't like seeing not smashed. We can call ourselves the Super Smash Brothers!"

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 38 points 5 days ago

So much of this makes no sense. How the fuck is lord of the flies a cross section between 1984, animal farm and faremheight 451, which also makes it Logan's run if you add Animal Farm to Logans Run? I've read/seen all of these and there isn't any commonality here

[-] Frivolous_Beatnik@hexbear.net 30 points 5 days ago

I'm more stumped by Handmaid's Tale + Brave New World = Brazil centrist

[-] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 17 points 5 days ago

Throw in some Fahrenheit 451 and you get the Matrix.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 17 points 5 days ago

My Thesis on Literature that I live by is that you can bend anything to any interpretation but the further your take strays from authorial intent the more you need to justify that take and this can be taken to absurd extremes if you are really good at bullshitting. This venn diagram proved me wrong

It's all just shit they read/watched in high school

[-] Krem@hexbear.net 18 points 5 days ago

lord of the flies was about a one-party state with mass surveillance and omnipresent propaganda, where all books were burned, and it's theocratical and any women that can bear children are forced to do so. that's what happened in the book about boys on an island

Imagine a kid saying "sucks to your as-mar!" To a human face again and again and again

But where does Harry Potter fit into all of this?

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 20 points 5 days ago

Harry Potter is the only hope against such a diagram of unrelated Dystopia fictions!

Soylent green is about literally eating human flesh. I don’t think that’s on the Heritage Foundations list

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 17 points 5 days ago

it's definitely on their menu though. don't order the steak tartar at Founding Farmers

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 29 points 5 days ago

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 24 points 5 days ago

As well as having never read high school level books

[-] underwire212@lemm.ee 19 points 5 days ago

I’ll take “books I’ve never read” for 500 please

Winston was a reactionary with SA fantasies. The party does nothing wrong by non lethally purging and re-educating him in 1984

[-] propter_hog@hexbear.net 24 points 5 days ago

Completely unrelated to the content of the post, but this is not a Venn diagram.

This makes me hate venn diagrams less. Thanks.

Brave new world + A Handmaids Tale = Brazil

What do they have against Brazil smh 😭

[-] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Allegedly it's a movie, and not just making fun of bolso-joker

I refuse to acknowledge that though

It's a classic movie. Directed by the same guy who directed the Monty python movies and 12 monkeys. Robert de niro plays a side character who is an unlicenced air conditioning repairman, and is wanted for terrorism because of that.

[-] Alisu@hexbear.net 23 points 5 days ago

What do this people have against Brasil?

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 23 points 5 days ago

It's Brazil they have a problem with.

Libs doing the most superficial political analysis ever, Part #41018:

Here we have "Thing A and Thing B are the same", represented in a graphic. Coulda spent the time making that by articulating an idea, but no.

This is just a more complex version of "Drumpf is Voldemort"

[-] Frivolous_Beatnik@hexbear.net 24 points 5 days ago

Aside, if people haven't seen Brazil it is quite good. You probably already know it from the soundtrack

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 18 points 5 days ago

It's a really damn good movie, watch it folks.

Ha, funny coincidence, I came across a similar image earlier on the blog of some Bri'ish dude who managed to get himself involuntarily committed for psych evaluation (three times) after trying to warn European officials, via embassy channels, of

the inevitable, ‘unifying’ US/UK-led global fascist militarisation trigger and the impending mobilisation of historically precedented mass-slaughter – on an unprecedented scale.

‘Gaslighting Gilligan’ is a ‘Warning Order’ to global western ‘democracies’ who are all being subjected to joint corporate-political cartel psychological warfare, ‘Dark Triad’ designed to agitate and divide entire populations via identity politics – especially by gender agenda.

Gaslighting Gilligan is the book he wrote to warn us of what Brexit was really about. https://gaslightinggilligan.com/about/

[-] regul@hexbear.net 15 points 5 days ago

I think gaslighting Gilligan is what the Skipper did in that one episode of the TV show.

Holy vibes batman

[-] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 14 points 5 days ago

Is Project 2025 something that the actual incoming government is using as a blueprint because anyone who mentions it seriously is either a lib trying to scaremonger about a policy Biden has already de facto implemented, or a crank conservative twitter personality trying to milk liberal rage for content.

Like, the "Project 2025 is actually gonna happen now" articles I've seen are all quoting people like the Babylon Bee guy lmao.

[-] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

The campaign says it is: https://www.newsweek.com/maga-project-2025-agenda-1981975

Conservatives have been associated with The Heritage Foundation for years, it's only now that the Democrats decided to market that as their campaign to ~~vote for them~~ not vote for Trump

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

Is Project 2025 something that the actual incoming government is using as a blueprint

to oversimplify, mostly yes

[-] x87_floatingpoint@hexbear.net 16 points 5 days ago

Why is Brazil on there? Did Brazil do something in particular to anger this lib?

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 22 points 5 days ago
[-] x87_floatingpoint@hexbear.net 20 points 5 days ago

Oh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_(1985_film)

Thought the lib was so intensely upset about Lula that they included his country on the dystopia fictions meme

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 18 points 5 days ago

That would be funny but would require real world knowledge. Brazil is a damn good movie tho
