Excellent point! The Left always worships the villains instead of the true heroes.
I’m not surprised. When the Beatles wrote “Back in the USSR” and were crying out for peace, they didn’t even know the USSR was a totalitarian state.
Ignorance is bliss, except for those around the ignorant.
Lots of people are fans of Stephen King’s books. I have to wonder how good a writer he is if he’s such a dipshit.
Chernobyl happened because Russia had created a Stalinist culture where nobody wanted to tell the truth to their superiors.
And in the producer's mind, this somehow relates to Trump. That's unbelievable. It's like making a movie about Clinton shoving a cigar up an intern, but in your mind, it's really about the Dali Lama or something.
[[like those in charge of the doomed Russian reactor, he’s a man of mediocre intelligence]]
Hmmm, people in glass houses shouldn’t...
It really is a well-done show, very little of the hyper-emotionalism, violin music, etc etc etc... it covers the lives and events in an almost sterile approach. It allows the viewer to process and feel, without being pushed. I love it.
And the main message that I take away from it is that the accident happened by a cluster of causes all piling up in just the wrong way... all made worse by the simple fact that a leadership that was terrified of looking fallible did what they could to make it look like it was the fault of anything but their system, whether it was or wasn't. That's not even the fault of "Socialism", that's the fault of that particular stripe of authoritarian (although almost all authoritarians seem to carry that trait... and almost all Socialism leads to authoritarianism).
(The actual disaster, explained, with the gift of 40 years of hindsight: The accident occurred during a late-night safety test simulating a power outage, during which both emergency safety and power-regulating systems were intentionally disabled. A combination of inherent RBMK reactor design flaws... plus reactor operators arranging the core in a manner contrary to the checklist for the test... resulted in uncontrolled reaction conditions. Superheated water was instantly turned into steam, causing a destructive steam explosion... and the led to a subsequent open-air graphite fire, which spread the radioactive poison far and wide. None of those contributing factors are the result of a political bent. The reactor flaws possibly being known and hidden could be, and thus possibly prevented, could be attributed to the Soviet way, but that's tangential at best.)
King has it totally backwards, evidence of his progressive TDS.
The show reflects what Democrats and deep staters would be like — not admitting reality, worrying most about appearances, not reacting properly, not protecting the people.
That wouldn’t be Trump. King is yet another ignorant proggie emoter with a microphone.
Criminal Minds was a TV show that lasted for YEARS.
It showed just how SICK a mind can be and showed some unbelievable stories to prove their point.
THAT IS STEPHEN KING. His original books were sick, Carrie, Salem’s Lot, Cujo, etc., were told in such an interesting way that King rose to fame.
His later books were trash, but the loyal fans were too committed to point it out.
The man is a sick piece of trash and the sooner the public recognizes it, the better.
