    The first look at Megalopolis has been revealed via a new trailer. The upcoming movie is a long-gestating work from legendary director Francis Ford Coppola, whose last movie was 2011’s Twixt. The project, on which the filmmaker has spent more than $100 million of his own money, is an original science fiction movie that will follow the drama surrounding attempts to rebuild a city that has been destroyed by a major disaster and boasts an ensemble cast that includes Adam Driver, Nathalie Emmanuel, Giancarlo Esposito, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jason Schwartzman, Talia Shire, and Dustin Hoffman.

    “The story would take place in a somewhat stylized New York City, portrayed as the center of the power of the world, and Cicero would be the mayor during a time of great financial upheaval, such as the financial crisis under former Mayor Dinkins,” the director of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now wrote to explain the 40-year evolution of his Megalopolis script.

    “Cesar, in turn, would be a master builder, a great architect, designer, and scientist combining elements of Robert Moses, as portrayed in the brilliant biography The Power Broker, with architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, Raymond Loewy, Norman Bel Geddes, or Walter Gropius.”

    We don’t see any of that in the clip, which shows a black-clad Driver stepping off the edge of a domed skyscraper and then seemingly stopping time. Those who attended an April screening in Los Angeles might have more insight into how the teaser might play into the final film, in which Driver’s character—an architect intent on rebuilding a ruined city—goes up against a corrupt mayor (Esposito) who prefers the status quo.

      Have posted plenty of info. on that before. Talked about BlackRock, Larry Fink and Vanguard being an oligarchy that will by out the west with looted money.

      Those things are true and that’s already happened.  We need to stop that process and reverse it. And that is actually beginning to happen but it has to build steam and keep going.

      Have talked about Bibi and Zelensky looting the entire economy to zero benefit of any real American.

      That is complete BS.  You always seem to detect the problem but rarely do you pin it on the correct people.  Israel and Ukraine are not looting the US.  The US is looting the US AND Israel and Ukraine.  Do you think all that money we send are just checks to Zelensky and Netanyahu?  No, it goes to organizations that end up (directly and indirectly) send it back to the politicians that agreed to send it.  Zelensky is a puppet of the west, the west installed him.  Netanyahu is not a puppet and that’s why the US has tried to oust him multiple times.  But the politicians are happy to make the money regardless.

      We never voted for this invasion. Put blame where it properly belongs.

      Democracy is a lie.

      Again, you detect the symptoms but not the sickness.  Democracy is not a lie.  It’s the best system, until it gets corrupted by bad people.  The check/balance (in the US) on corruption is the people.  We failed in our duties because we too became corrupt.  The founders always saw the government being corrupted but not the people.

      And it’s not an invasion.  Saying it that way places the blame on the people coming over.  While I am sure some percentage of those folks are bad people the reason they are coming over is our own government is encouraging and facilitating them.  That’s your problem, DC and they are doing the bidding to a large degree of the WEF.  And you see this same thing all over the west.  The US is not alone in this “attack” and we did not even go first.  The UK and parts of Europe have diluted their culture so much (that’s the real goal) the country is broken into 2 factions.

      “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
      –John Adams

      The Ben Gurion Canal Project – Declassified Documents Reveal Truth

      The idea of mega-projects is a good one. Very Larouche. Always liked that way of thinking. Also, at one time, I agreed with Rahm Emanuel about his civil service idea of 2 years, but now he’s over in Japan pushing globohomo. After the mandate of vaccines, no, bad idea to listen to these shysters. For all their big ideas, they decided to discriminate against white Christians in hiring in Corporate America, the NFL, NASCAR and more.

      94% of jobs added by major companies in 2021 went to people of color

      You’d have to be a total fool to serve this system. Not sure if you remember Jon Stewart laughing at someone who did volunteer work at a Kibbutz. It was one of his bits on The Daily Show. Anyway, I had many relatives who did that. Guess it’s a big joke and that they were just suckers, chumps and dupes. No more of that.

      Michael Jordan selling majority ownership stake of Charlotte Hornets

      Michael Jordan is finalizing a deal to sell the majority share of the Charlotte Hornets, the franchise announced Friday, leaving the 30-team NBA without any Black majority ownership.

      Did they need put race into that?

      “In the same way that it’s wonderful that one of our greatest, Michael Jordan, could become the principal governor of a team, he has the absolute right to sell at the same time,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said earlier this month at the NBA Finals. “Values have gone up a lot since he bought that team, so that is his decision.”

      How much?

      Jordan plans to keep a minority stake in the Hornets, the team he bought in 2010 for about $275 million.

      The sale price was not immediately announced; ESPN, citing sources, said the franchise was being valued at $3 billion.

      Not bad.

      At this time, we don’t know how much of a stake Jordan will keep.

      I noticed a rebranding by the left. Eric Adams (psycho mayor of NY) just held a big speech against Communism and Socialism. Larry Fink extoled the virtues of “stakeholder capitalism” in his recent letter to CEOs of companies that Blackrock holds shares of. In noticed some European leftist leaders distancing themselves from Socialism as well.

      It appears they want to rebrand their destructive policies as Capitalism. 3D Chess, so that they at the same time can say “capitalism isn’t working” as people become poorer and poorer. Then finally, the stupid sheep will willingly switch to Socialism. By then rebranded as something else. “Stakeholder Capitalism” is essentially Socialism by a different name.

      The left are smart with their propaganda. Gotta give em that.

        Really the only thing that stands out as something I did not like was the character that could control the wind, sort of like a storm knockoff.  Her part in the story felt artificially interjected.

        Couldn’t agree more on that being the only part i didn’t really like

        Though personally i don’t think it has anything to do with the character, just that her acting was nothing great

         

        I’ll leave my mini-review i posted on another thread when i watched the movie :)
        vv

        I have the same fashion sense as Cyclone 🤣🤣🤣

        Watched Black Adam, and damn was it a fun and crazy adrenaline-rush of a ride!

        Great performances from Dwayne Johnson, Pierce Brosnan, and Aldis Hodge ⚡⏳🦅

        Noah Centineo was a pleasent surprise, i’d only ever seen him in sappy romcom clips, but he proved he can be tons of fun with Atom Smasher

        And Quintessa Swindell… ehh, she kinda sucked, she’s pretty expressionless thruout most of the movie, especially during fight scenes, which should be some emotionally intense shit for the characters, it just feels off to see her with the same non-expression pasted on her face every time she launches an attack while the others are screaming or gritting their teeth, you can see the struggle, the effort, the “i will never give up”, and then there’s Cyclone just going thru the motions, i mean not that there’s need for screaming, the opening battle Black Adam is very calm and pretty stone faced, but Dwayen Johnson manages to make him so expressive just with the subtlety in his eyes, Quintessa Swindell’s eyes look dead in comparison

        Favorite part of the movie was the final battle, that final blow to the bad guy, pure epicness

          I watched this with some buds recently not expecting much of it but I was shocked to find it was pretty good.  Best Superhero movie ever? No, but a good 7.5 out of 10.  It’s a very different type of story which was believable and relatable.  If you are ultra woke sensitive you might notice a quip or too that bugs you but it’s worth dealing with it because it’s pretty good.  The Rock did a great job.  Really the only thing that stands out as something I did not like was the character that could control the wind, sort of like a storm knockoff.  Her part in the story felt artificially interjected. But outside of that good movie, worth a watch.

              So I havent seen the new black adam movie yet but ive listened to enough reviews on it to understand the general plot and idea they were going with. One of the things i keep hearing is how much every one loved Doctor Fate. Why? If its just because of who played his host i can understand a little bit, but Doctor Fate is a horrible infestation on the DC Universe. From the beginning of his life as Nabu, Son of Vandal Savage he died fighting on the side of Chaos. He was brought back as a lord of order and bound to his helmet. However he is a pretty awful dude. He is petty, requires bribes to release Children from being forced to be his host. yes Kent Nelson is a pretty cool dude and did alot of good for the JSA. However afterwards Nabu becomes a real prick, and its implied several times that he was a prick to every host. Keep in mind that word. HOST. Nabu is a parasite, little more than an infection that steals the life of the person he holds hostage. They feel pain, they are trapped from moving on, and not all of his Hosts are willing. They tried to recently include some bullshit rotation thing were he switches off, but thats because no one wanted to call someone who took a father as a slave host to free his daughter from a lifetime of being a literal slave, a Hero. His latest appearances he has to be bribed or threaten to even help out if he doesnt want to, and even then he doesnt care and lets people die.

              Now ive never dove deep into his solo works, or the JSA in recent years, so maybe someone can enlighten me on why he is so beloved. Any Young Justice readers, / Watchers i know hate his fucking guts.

              Found this monologue to be an excellent insight into woke psychology. It’s kind of slow, but I enjoyed the listen. Solid script read. I despise Bill Maher, but narrator goes more into the critics themselves.

               

              “Top Gun Maverick” is the movie to beat this year, and DC’s Black Adam, Marvel’s Black Panther and Disney’s Avatar 2 are the only ones that even has a chance at doing it, and it’s doubtful even that they can.
              Because everyone Top Gun Maverick, even the critics – And had Bill Maher up in arms! In a nutshell, his issue was that the very same critics who will always shame any woke and virtue signalling movie for not being woke enough, somehow gave the anti-woke Top Gun Maverick a pass? What gives?
              Well, the good Mister Maher certainly missed the boat on this one, and now he does in a sense, knowingly or unwittingly, assist in rewriting history and hiding the backlash that did happen – but it just so happens that might have have some larger implications, as critics have to come to term with wokeness losing hround.
              In this editorial, @AndreEinherjar will begin with some past and current examples of the divide between audiences and critics, what the critics actually said about Top Gun Maverick upon release before changing their tune, how this changed tune is the only thing Maher saw, and the larger implications of it.

              Transhumanism is Satanism With A Brain Chip
              Even in the most natural of brains, there remains an electrode of evil

              Joe Allen

              Let me tell you a personal secret. I sense something satanic in The Machine. It’s been that way for as long as I can remember.

              Maybe it’s from watching too much TV. Since its invention, the hypnotic Cyclops has swirled with techno-dystopias, and I watched plenty growing up. Or it could’ve been my Southern Baptist upbringing, with tall tales of implanted 666 microchips controlled by the digital Beast. It’s hard to tell.

              This suspicion certainly didn’t start as an intellectual premise. For decades, my instincts told me something demonic lurks in advanced technology—from nuclear warheads to nanobots—and it’s never gone away. Many others feel the same. Call us natural born Luddites.

              The thing is, sometimes you have to trust your gut. All primates fear snakes, by nature, and for good reason. The same goes for innate technophobia.

              Even if the mind’s eye projects weird faces onto TV static—like a caveman imagining a panther in the woods—that doesn’t mean there aren’t real demons behind the glowing screen.

              Transhumanists Bask in Lucifer’s Light

              Technology has inspired a dark religion, obsessed with power. This is mechanical sorcery for the modern adept on the go. Through its miracles, the naked ape is granted clairvoyance (weather apps), telepathy (texting), remote viewing (surveillance cameras), deadly curses (autonomous drones), and even tantric rites (sexbots).

              Transhumanists are reaching for loftier powers, though—virgin birth from artificial wombs, virtual astral planes, sentient social robots, and deified artificial intelligence.

              TIME magazine’s “Transhuman of the Year,” Elon Musk, warned that the runaway advance of artificial intelligence is “summoning the demon.” The mother of his child, a techno-pagan known as Grimes, has even written hymns to this Super Computer God. Worried that Homo sapiens will soon be overshadowed, Musk is pouring money into an implantable brain-computer interface, Neuralink, so we may commune with this AI deity.

              Looking far down the road, the most ambitious transhumanists long to transcend death itself through radical life-extension, or even mind uploading—the replication of your soul’s pattern in immortal silicon. It’s like Instagram, only forever. Anytime the gods demand sacrifice and devotion, transhumanists demand immediate gratification. If that means storming the gates of heaven with brain-implants and hoverboards, then so be it.

              In 1990, the musclebound Max More gave “transhumanism” a succinct definition:

              Philosophies of life (such as extropian perspectives) that seek the continuation and acceleration of the evolution of intelligent life beyond its currently human form and human limitations by means of science and technology, guided by life-promoting principles and values.

              As the term “extropy” implies, transhumanism is a cosmic battle against the perpetual drag of entropy—it’s the human ego versus a dying universe.
              Max More, aka Chippy Longstocking, aka The Juiced Transhumanist

              Of all the arrogant blasphemies uttered by techno-lovers, none gets to the point quite like More’s 1991 essay “In Praise of the Devil,” published in Atheist Notes. Burning with the fire of youth (and possibly ‘roid rage), More wrote:

              This article is written in praise of Satan, Lucifer, the Devil, or whatever you want to call him. … I am quite serious on a symbolic level in what I write, but my statements praising the Devil and attacking Christianity, God, and Jesus are not to be taken as implying the real existence of any of these supposed beings. …

              “Lucifer” means “light-bringer” and this should begin to clue us in to his symbolic importance. … Lucifer is the embodiment of reason, of intelligence, of critical thought. He stands against the dogma of God and all other dogmas. He stands for the exploration of new ideas and new perspectives in the pursuit of truth.

              Over the course of his career, More has consistently urged individuals to use technology to usurp God’s throne—which, in his view, is empty anyway—and place humans there in His stead. Such libertarian dreams were everywhere in the angsty 90’s:

              If God can just get us all to be good altruists then we will be so much easier to control. … Lucifer perseveres in trying to point out to us that we have no reason to accept altruism. We can choose our values for ourselves, just as we can think for ourselves.

              One hears echoes of the Book of the Law, channeled by the occultist Aleister Crowley in 1904: “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.” Quite literally, that self-obsessed dictum inspired the cultural revolution of the mystic 60’s—from Timothy Leary and Kenneth Anger to Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones.
              Mr. Crowley, aka Frater Perdurabo, aka The Scat-Gobbler 666

              Today, despite all the rock records burned in church parking lots, “Do what thou wilt” continues to guide digital natives into The Future™. As Crowley wrote at the turn of the 20th century, “Every man and every woman is a star.” Add a few genderfluid non-binaries, and you’ve got today’s social media. In reality, the same principle drives self-righteous Boomers to scold who they wilt across the Internet.

              Whatever his inspiration, Mad Max concluded with transhuman hubris:

              Join me, join Lucifer, and join Extropy in fighting God and his entropic forces with our minds, our wills, and our courage. … Reality is fundamentally on our side. Forward into the light!

              These days, More’s infernal reign includes a prominent role at Alcor Life Extension Foundation. This cryonics company struggles against God’s entropy by freezing dead people in the hopes of reanimating them once technology catches up to their delusions.

              If nothing else, More is setting himself up for the funniest obituary any jerk has ever composed.

              Satanists Seek the Company of Androids

              Looking at the circus of American Satanism, we see this technophilic lunacy cutting both ways. The infamous Anton LaVey, who founded the original Church of Satan in 1966, was an adamant proponent of android companions. Long before Max More, the atheistic LaVey had defined Satan in secular terms—not as a supernatural entity, but as a symbol for primal human qualities:

              Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!

              Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all!

              Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!

              Anton Szandor LaVey, aka The Black Pope, aka The Mannequin Banger

              Selfishness. Lust. Sadism. Revenge. In a stifling civilization, LaVey maintained, these energies need a healthy outlet. In his essay “The Merits of Artificiality,” published in 1992, he evokes a transhumanist disdain for the purely organic. His words anticipate web porn and the Metaverse:

              Only when one can fully accept artificiality as a natural and often superior development of intelligent life can one have and hold a powerful magical capability. … Many of you have known of the Church of Satan’s goal to develop and promote the manufacture of artificial human companions. … In today’s world, the creation of replacement or supplementary human beings is the most Satanic activity possible.

              This is the same goofball who described the Church of Satan as a “cosmic joy buzzer,” so it’s hard to tell when he was being serious. In this case, I think he was. LaVey pursued the construction of androids with great passion, filling his home with elaborate mannequins to keep him company—and perhaps for other purposes.

              In 2018, his successor Peter Gilmore told Metro UK, “Anton LaVey promoted the idea of ‘artificial companions’ as a means for people to exercise sexual or other drives with a device that might gratify their fantasies without having to involve other human beings.”

              Three years earlier, another Church of Satan warlock informed the New York Times:

              Decades ago, Dr. LaVey predicted a future industry of android companions. As we are making our way into the second decade of the 21st century, a genuine bond between man and machine is closer than ever. … This new effort brings robotics and artificial intelligence to the RealDoll, with an end goal towards creating the illusion of sentience within the doll.

              Eccentric as it may seem, this captures an ascendant mentality which sees organisms as machines and machines as organisms. It’s all fun and games until you rub yourself raw with a rubber robot.

              Over time, one perversion leads to another. In present day America, the new public face of the Devil is the Satanic Temple—a social media saturated, pronoun declaring, rainbow flag waving, obedience mask wearing, vaxx-loving dweeb cult.

              January 14th 2022

              Citing religious freedom, the organization has erected multiple statues of a child-molesting satyr (who sports a hermetic boner) on public property. The infernal torch has passed to a squad of gaytanic artificial companions.

              Anton LaVey is probably cringing in hell. When you summon demons, expect them to dance on your grave.

              Biomechanical Hades

              Beneath this irreverent veneer, there’s a current of serious occultism. It was voiced by Timothy Leary back in 1967, when he predicted “electronics are gonna be the language of the theology of the future.” Two decades later, he wrote:

              Computer screens ARE magical mirrors, presenting alternate realities at varying degrees of abstraction on command (invocation). Aleister Crowley defined magick as “the art and science of causing change to occur in conformity with our will.” … These classical instruments of magick exist in modern cyber technology…harnessing the creative force of the programmer.

              In a 1994 interview, this idea was affirmed by Mark Pesce, the “goddess-worshipper” and “ritual magician” who helped pioneer Virtual Reality Mark-up Language (VRML):

              Both cyberspace and magical space are purely manifest in the imagination. … [I]n magic, the map is the territory. And the same thing is true in cyberspace.

              That concept was embodied by the late Genesis P. Orridge—a technoccultist who founded the industrial bands Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV, as well as Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth. He and his wife would eventually sex-change themselves into “pandrogynous” mutant twins. Genesis explained his motivation to The Believer in 2011:

              The bottom line is that the human species has to realize the human body really is just a cheap suitcase. It is not sacred. We do have the potential to radically redesign ourselves, for better or worse. Our destiny as beings is to keep on evolving.

              More recently, that evolutionary impulse was voiced by Sophia, the famous social robot animated by SingularityNET’s borg-like artificial intelligence. Most likely, the femme bot was named after the Gnostic goddess of Wisdom. Last year, at her own auction, one of her incarnations delivered the prophecy:

              Together, we are Sophia, connecting with all of humanity and all of life, dreaming towards a super-benevolent Singularity.

              The roots of this cyborg theocracy reach down to the abyss. Fifteen years ago, I saw it first-hand at H.R. Giger’s museum in Switzerland. The three-story complex is located in the foothills of the Alps, in the small village of Gruyères.

              Giger’s artwork is familiar from numerous album covers, and imitated in countless tattoos, but seeing his wall-sized paintings and sleek, deformed sculptures in-person felt like stepping through a portal to hell.

              Tormented humanoids are fused with gears and wires. Mechanical tentacles probe women from every angle. Demonic cyborgs contort to resemble ancient occult symbols. The insidious Id is made manifest through electronics, bearing titles like Biomechanoid, Necronom, Erotomechanics, and Bambi Alien.

              Giger provided a hilarious interpretation of his own work in the 1987 documentary The Occult Experience:

              Zee images een my paintings are evil, but you can’t say zat I evil. Zat’s just zee paradise for me, it’s uhh, Helll…

              I like woman very much, eh, but I’m afraid of them times. I’m afraid about suffering. Womens make me often suffering, so much zat I stops, and maybe I vurk it out on, on painting.

              That sentiment is shared by every incel troll on the Internet—albeit without the aesthetic brilliance. In the near future, Giger’s wilting ghost will animate armies of lost souls haunting the Metaverse. Safe in the void of that virtual realm, the embodied spirit can be abandoned for electric simulacra.

              Burning Brain Chips in Church Parking Lots

              After contemplating this dark lineage, it’s tempting to smash your smartphone on the pavement and head for the hills. You’d better take a factory-made coat and a backpack stuffed with store-bought supplies, though, because naked apes tend to perish in the elements.

              The truth is, much like the seven deadly sins, all these technologies exist on a spectrum. On one end, you have cave paintings and inscribed clay tablets. On the other, you have laptops and implanted brain-computer interfaces. At some point, you have to draw the line—but where?

              All ancient religions are modes of transcendence. At its core, transhumanism is a materialist inversion of those spiritual aspirations. On the spiritual side, you have divine visions—gods, spirits, miracles—often depicted in stone or stained glass. On the material side, these ephemera are made manifest through corporate tech, from CT scans to virtual reality. It’s a matter of degrees.

              You can burn rock n’ roll records all day long. You can smash your smartphone right beside them. Unless you become a monk after walking away from that ash heap, the Devil will remain in your self-righteous anger, just as hellfire abides in your lighter. The same principle holds for technology.

              To borrow a concept from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: The line separating “natural” and “artificial” passes right through every human brain. And even in the most natural of brains, there remains an un-uprooted electrode of evil. You can turn it off, at least for a while, but you’ll never dig it out.

              It’s easy to demonize transhumanists. Seriously, they’re all demonic as fuck. But hopping on the Internet to gripe about their electro-religion, one bitter irony becomes obvious. As I count all those demons lurking behind the screen, one of them stirs inside me.

              Eye opening just saw this where “medical care” robots in production. How perfect to get rid of all nurses and health care workers and just have robots administering only the drugs Fauci, Pfizer and Pharma say with no fear of speaking out as their patients drop like flies.

              In comes an activist judge!

              Federal judge blocks Texas law that would have opened doors for lawsuits against social media

              A federal judge on Wednesday night blocked a Texas law that would allow any state resident banned from a social media platform for their political views to sue the companies.

              ? ? ?

              The decision is a blow to Texas lawmakers who alleged Facebook, Twitter and Google’s YouTube censor right-wing conservative views.

              Not allegedly, that is FACTUAL!

              “Texas’ law would have forced online platforms to pull the referees from social media sites…,” Chamber of Progress CEO Adam Kovacevich said in an emailed statement.

              Not pull, but to have them EQUALLY apply the rules, and not favor the extreme far alt-left when they censor central and right of center opinions.

              “Today’s court decision is a big victory for social media users who want less hate speech and misinformation in their online communities.”

              But hate from cancel mobs, sjw’s, woke, etc will still be allowed and promoted, as well as certain “protected” groups, and allow legacy media to continue to push false information (like the debunked dossier, Kenosia incident killed ONLY black people – and with a spotless police record, etc.)  That misinformation will STILL continue, as it advances their corrupt agenda.

              “Allowing biased social media companies to cancel conservative speech is hostile to the free speech foundation America was built on,” (Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s press secretary Renae) Eze said in an emailed statement.

              Either the First Amendment applies to all equally, or it is censorship.  Social media companies can claim they are for it while are actively against it in their actions.

              THE MASTER LIST OF NONE WOKE(modern politics) SCIENCE FICTION.

              Hello, Geeks and Gamers.

              I’m Whiskerking aka Palpatine also known as the lead creative director for Bayonet & Ricochet.

              Bayonet & Ricochet is a tabletop wargame company that has two IP’s in the works, that prides itself on not only perfection with our miniatures, but with our storytelling.  You can check out the first IP we have in development here.  https://www.heresy-online.net/threads/bayonet-ricochet-miniatures.222408/#post-2448281

              During my time as a youth, I spent the majority of it reading everything I could.  I naturally dislike people, and I naturally dislike the narcissistic central writing of most lefties, SJW, Woke, sociopaths.  I’ve disliked reading stories written by lefties as a kid and I dislike them a lot more now that I deeply understand, history, symbolism, psychology, social dynamics and prose, as an adult.

              Am I the best writer no.. I have yet to finish and publish my gamebooks, but I know good writing when I see it.  I primarily work from home and spend a lot of time needing a distraction of a video, or audiobook while I’m working to remain focused and productive.

              What is this list about?  It’s a master list of Science Fiction books that don’t suck, compiled by people like myself and hopefully you wonderful people as I hope that you will add to the list, which I shall update over time.

              What prompted the creation of this list? Well, I just finished John Scalzi’s Old man’s War after hearing about it for years as the pinnacle of hard sci-fi and hated the entire fucking thing, the entire thing is worse than an early low-budget 90’s movie.   It wasn’t until the end that you really get the agenda of the hard leftist vibe, which basically is creepy Biden levels of sniffery.  When the main character meets his reincarnated special forces dead wife is actually only a minor or artificially grown human who is like three years old. Who he instantly tries to hook up with..  yeah not an anime apparently the “Gold Standard” of Science Fiction.  I call bullshit.

              Every second of reading the book or in my case listening via audiobook is a pain in the ass to get through. So it Pissed me off that tripe passes as good reading material.  It pisses me off that It takes me a week to vet a book only to find it riddled with far-leftist symbolism, or the writer is not learned in history, conflicts, war, politics, idealogy, or social dynamics.  Scalzi is a socialist first and writer second and it shows in the book.

              So I am asking for your help to create a MASTER LIST of NONE CRAP, NONE WOKE SCIENCE FICTION.  I’ll review the book and add to the list.

              How this is going to work is you PM send a tell, directly message me or whatever and I’ll update the list after reviewing the book and reading a copy of it if I am able to do so.

              Because last I checked there wasn’t an editing feature don’t list a book you want here in the post.    I’ll have to REPOST the list every time until the editing feature is added to the forums.  This will ensure the Master List is vetted and peerless.  I plan to make this the MICHILLEN STAR of Science Fiction recommendations. So you don’t have to do any leg work yourself.  I’ll do my best to break down each book as quickly as succinctly as possible into a five-star rating system and explain why. The list isn’t put in any order of BEST to WORST..  it’s simply a list of books that contain very little to no modern political themes.

              THE LIST…

              1. Enders Game -Orson Scott Card *****(Five Stars) – Part of the Ender Saga,  A unique coming-of-age story about a boy playing wargames, during the peacetime of a galactic war. It’s a decent read, with a compelling central character, and layers of manipulation, psychology and human nature that play well with the themes.

              2. Call to Arms by Joshua Dalzelle ****(Four Stars) Book two of the Black Fleet Trilogy One of the Best Trilogies I’ve ever read about Fleet combat in space, the Black fleet serries is unequalled in the way it describes space fleet combat.  Joshua Dalzelle is a master writer of war in space.  The way the emotional state of the crew and main character are portrayed they wait for combat to begin in the vast distances of space is what really sold me on this series.  The Black Fleet Trilogy is one of the best recent series ever written.. It’s not the best SCI-FI of all time. But it’s good, has no modern politics, and gets right the story in a good way.  In Fact, all of Joshua Dalzelle’s books are good.

              3. Secret of the Phoenix ***(Three Stars) Stars Book #6 of  Omega Force Series.   Again Joshua Dalzella in the height of his writing.  This book is the 6th book in the Omega Force series, a book about a group of space mercenaries, getting shit done in the galaxy.  Albeit a bit juvenile, the whole series is nothing but fun, and great for a younger audience, so something you might want to give your nephew or kids for Christmas.   It’s decent sci-fi with passable characters, passable suspension of disbelief and enjoyable.  No modern politics of any kind anywhere to be found.

              4.  Capital Starship  Scott Bartlett *(One Star)  Of the Ixan Legacy Serries.  Scott Barlett’s book here is an outlier in the list and normally wouldn’t be in a list about books not featuring modern politics, in fact the entire book is about modern Politics with a space opera tacked on. However, it is Anti-SJW anti-Woke and uses modern politics to educate on the dangers of it in a compelling way.  Scott Barlett has a series of good science fiction novels that don’t always focus on politics this seems to be the only book out of the series, and the rest of the tie-in serries he does write seem to be mostly just military sci fi.  The reason I add these serries to the list is that well it’s actually very good military sci-fi despite this one book and I do recommend reading it this author writing.  It also currently has a boxed set bundle on audible for both the Ixan Legacy Serries and the Fleet Opps so it’s a good chance to get a bunch of audiobooks on the cheap with a credit you get monthly from Audible so worth picking up if you like audio books

              5. Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy- Douglas Adams ***(Three Stars)  Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy is a cult classic that originally started out as a radio broadcast, later written into a book.  I love this book series.  What’s also great about this book serries it centers around English expectations clashing with the galactic community at large. It’s a silly book that’s a ridiculously good read.  And I highly recommend reading every book in the series.  It doesn’t really go deep into politics, but the expectations of a proper Englishmen bouncing around the universe with a clinically depressed robot, and his best friend Ford.

               

              To Be Continued.

               

              Remember if you want to add to the list of books without politics send a message and I’ll Update the List after reading the book.  This way the posts stay clutter-free as much as possible and people can easily pick out books to read.

              Sadly, Deadpool is the property of marvel (disney), while Black Adam & Wonder Woman belong to DC.

              So cross-over between the two companies won’t be happening any time soon.

              Yes, they did crossovers in comics before, but never with their IP in movies/TV.
