What are the best examples of tv shows that disclosure important things about history and society? Anonymous 04/23/2025 (Wed) 05:51:01 Id: 175a99 No. 35675
The 100 is way up there for me. The cataclysms set in the future in the show seem to mirror ancient cataclysms. In particular, the way they survive (ie cannibalism) and where they survive (in bunkers and mountains) and some of the things it leads to (militarized drug business) seem to line up with past events. Anyone want to take a stab at equivalent years or groups of people its referring to? How about places? I've heard Ulaanbaatar was potentially the location of one of these bunkers at one point in time. There was a CIA Anon on 4chan a long time ago who also sort of corroborated this, although I think his point was that the actual Chinese people we know of today would be "grounders" in this show, because their eye flaps are an adaptation to air, wind, or light that would have only been a problem for people without bunkers to go down to.

>>35675 An attractive woman with 20% body fat leading men in their survival on a desolate planet is also historically accurate.
>>35675 The 100 was a narrow minded and stupid show, it implies that all people, when faced with such difficulties, turn into your stereotypical retarded americans. Try reading Animal Farm by George Orwell instead.
Obviously Utopia (2013)- globalists fake a pandemic and use an amplified PCR test to create false positives and give them a race specific vaccine as depopulation. In the show gypsies were excluded from harm. Irl Jews and Chinese were exempt from harm. They remade the show in 2019 right before Covid hit.
>>35760 The main problem with the show was that they had to make 16 episodes every season because it was a broadcast channel (CW). Yeah, there were a lot of frustrating decisions. But when you zoom out, I think it's a far more interesting show. There are just so many references to things from real life. Just in terms of drugs, you have: the red drug (used to make reapers), the red toxin (from Sanctum), the green drug on Sanctum used in the adjustment protocol. Then, there's all the stuff they did with blood — transfusions, the fact that some people had different blood adapted to the climate. And on top of that, you have cannibalism. It's noteworthy that the stuff about cannibalism and the stuff about blood transfusions (or consumption by other means?) come from _completely_ separate parts of the storyline and thus separate parts of history.

>>36494 I watched the first season fairly intently. It was still early on in streaming shows online and I watched the whole first season in about a month. When I realized the show was not going to go in]to any interesting ways I stopped watching it entirely. The women on that show ere very beautiful and it could have been better if the show evolved beyond the basic premise.
>>37209 Believe me, it took a lot of effort for me to get into it. I tried multiple times starting over, and I only really got hooked enough about 5-6 episodes in, and then almost every new season started off similarly, so I used some fastforwarding early on. After forcing myself to look at the broader story instead of the moment to moment action, I found it really interesting. There's a lot of moral development. It made me think about the motivations of mankind, limitations of law, why we can't have nice things, etc. I think it gets more into this as the seasons go on, btw. Season 1 is still relatively undeveloped. There was an anon on 4chan who told me about it several times, and I'm hoping he's lurking around this chan, because it would suck to lose that source of knowledge.
Person of Interest was terrifyingly accurate in its predictions about the extent to which AI would start to influence media, news, and the flow, processing, and manufacture of information, as well as the blind faith people would put in it.
>>35861 this show was in the back of my mind when deciding to either take or not take the shot. They made it a little too good.
>>36494 I didn't really think about it but I see your points, it could just be a coincidence as those are rather common tropes, but they're common tropes because it's based on real shit that goes on unseen. It's a filthy trick to say "oh it's just fiction" while they tell you exactly what's going on.
>>35675 Dystopian fiction is the best, it is like eating a box of donuts for the skeptically minded person. Probably lowest hanging fruit possible, but if you have no idea what the fuck is going on- it is a great place to start to understand the relationship that the average person has with the elites, who essentially live in a completely different dimension to most normal people. Often times inspired by dictatorships like Maoist China, the Soviet Union, National Socialist Germany or Fascist Italy. Although one problem with Dystopian fiction is that often times it fails to properly depict a dystopian society that has the illusion of freedom, like modern western countries. It is not that modern western countries are becoming more totalitarian over time (although that is somewhat true) it is more so that modern western countries are being influenced and controlled with a completely different methodology as opposed to the traditional totalitarian playbook. Dystopian fiction often becomes very alien, bizarre and unrecognizable to western audiences because elites in western countries simply do not use the same tactics to influence, control and propagandize. There is a lot of misdirection, enforced ignorance, psychological operations and a lot of 5th generation warfare that is utilized to steer western civilization, because elites in western countries know that traditional authoritarianism is chaotic, risky and dangerous for them. If they were going to advocate for it, they are going to do so slowly and ease into it. It's more like a last ditch effort for them to maintain control as opposed to the 1st option on their mind. They much prefer to create the illusion of freedom through warping societal and cultural norms to create certain outcomes that they want, as opposed to directly using a police state to enforce those outcomes. The modern elite are dreadfully fearful of having to even be in the position of a dictator, they would much rather have their cake and eat it too as opposed to be the only ones eating cake, inside the inner cadre of a police state. So, I don't really believe that any author or director has come up with a futuristic consumerist, capitalistic corporate dystopia. It's actually really difficult and if you did make an accurate one you would probably be targeted by the elites, who use networks of secret societies to influence and steer from the safety of anonymity and many layers of underlings who always take the fall for them if they are caught doing anything publicly illegal. Globalist new world order types who are often times only the face of the face of the face of who is actually responsible for whatever agenda is being carried out. I recommend watching: Brazil, 1984, Blade Runner 2049, Blade Runner 1982, Snow piercer (the show, not the movie), Idiocracy, A Clockwork Orange, Akira (1988). THX 1138 (1971), Ghost in the Shell (1995), Robocop (1987), Demolition Man (1993), Soylent Green (1973) Obviously read 1984, animal farm, brave new world, fahrenheit 451, anthem, etc. It is important however to remember that dystopia can be created without direct totalitarian measures.
>>35693 for me, it was the franco-grecian braphog.

>>38833 >Dystopian fiction is the best
A couple of manga I can req are Desert Rose and Candy & Cigarettes. The former is a series about an all-female team of an independent counter-terrorism PRC and spends an entire chapter of every story arc being full-blown autistic about the political/tactical realities of each situation. The latter series is about an old fart and a loli working as assassins and unwrapping a global conspiracy that seems eerily relevant on what measures are taken to implement a global new world order.
