By Jeffrey Tucker, published 27/3/2025

Snow White, the live-action version cobbled together by Disney, opened over the weekend with devastating reviews and empty theaters coast to coast.

Perhaps we should return to the gold old days of the classic Western's in which the only good Indian was a dead one. And most Western movies in which all non-whites were essentially treated as subhuman barbarians only fit to serve the "needs" of their white betters. And Tarzan who purpose was to "save" the benighted darkies from themselves. Ever notice that Tarzan lived out in the bush far from civilization, yet he was always clean shaven, had no hairs on his chest and certainly didnt sweat. Or Norman Rockwell and the Saturday Evening Post, Leave It To Beaver, Father Knows Best, the Mickey Mouse Club and of course the weekly Sunday evening Disneyland which began with the theme - When You Wish Upon a Start Star.

Or perhaps a bit later on with The Passion by Mel Gibson in which the principle character representing every single human being, and humankind altogether was systematically beaten to death.

And why not check out some more recent movies and/or documentaries starting with The Dynasty which is a documentary featured the wall-to-wall corruption of the well known back-to-the-past Hungarian dictator Orban.

And why not check out the worse-than-awful movie There Be Dragons which was about the life of the founder of Opus Dei who was a full blown sociopath as is (collectively) the opus dei cult. The movie was a hugely big flop.

Speaking of opus dei why not check out two recent books which describe the dark machinations of the opus dei cult.
1. OPUS by Gareth Gore
2. STENCH by David Brock the title STENCH is a perfect one word description of opus dei.

And why not check out the movie Idiocracy which turned out to be very prophetic. The idiot-in-chief now lives in the White House.

Your a nasty little thing Daffy, and you must be very unhappy carrying your huge load of biases on your own shoulders.

Thank God for the fiery red Dragon in the Whitehouse though; very fitting I think!

Good list of way-to-go options suggested by Daffy despite being written as satire. The list makes good suggestions in my opinion. The 1950s was the start of the cultural rot introduced by Satanic, anti-Christ, Marxism to destroy western white civilisation, which set the stage for the leftist "Progressive" march through the institutions, post-modernism, leading up to the glorious Great Reset, identified by Mr Tucker, which failed to launch because the Great Covid Scam just made people cranky and they didn't want anything to do with authoritarian governments. They'd had enough.

To answer Mr Tucker's, "...the only question is how far we must go back in history to find clarity...", I'd strongly recommend the 1950s as a good place to start.

That was about when I was born and lived as a kiddie, and it was a great time to be alive - boom time. My family owned a Buick. Of course, when I was born, I was at the centre of the political Overton window, which has since shifted so far to the left, that I'm now considered to be a dangerous right wing extremist. I didn't change as I was expected to. It was the window that moved, not me.

Yeah, I reckon, go back to the 1950s to find clarity, decency, quality of life, artistic freedom and financial security as I enjoyed back then as a kiddie. Sort of like what Trump's doing at the moment. It all makes sense to me. Move the political Overton window back where it's supposed to be.
