Soylent Green: The Climate nonsense aside (how are all those doomsday predictions looking fifty years on, and what does that say about the current crop of unscientific crap?) the social conditions portrayed are exactly where we’d be if Democrats had had an uninterrupted reign in office. And exactly what Fauci, Soros, et al are intentionally trying to create, an America brought down to Port Au Prince or Mogadishu levels.

“It’s the year 2022. Cumulative effects of overpopulation, pollution, and “climate catastrophe” have caused severe worldwide shortages of food”

They couldn’t have been more wrong. The problem today is obesity not starvation.

Things aren’t anywhere near as bad as the movie portrayed.

Somewhere in Africa an unknown tribe picking the bones nod.

I had a past coworker who drank that stuff. He’d never heard of the movie.

The movie was more memorable for me because of Edward G. Robinson’s death scene. I was horrified that people would agree to be put to sleep and that there were facilities to do it. Since then, I’ve watched my father and in-laws struggle with Alzheimers and dementia and it doesn’t look like a bad way to go anymore.

True but the government we have today sure is working darned hard to get there.

And I mentioned this article and a co-worker says if the Simpsons didn’t lampoon it, it must not have been a good movie.

Google says that it was quoted three times in the Simpson’s.
