SWPL of the Week: Why Avatar is a Piece of Garbage Propaganda

Greetings. I haven't done an SWPL of the Week in a while, so what better than to rip into the leftist enviro-fetishistic-treatise-on-European-colonisation-thinly-veiled-in-Scifi-Drama by the dreaded James Cameron?

This is a movie I had heard about and had been meaning to see for a while due to the hype surrounding it. Not so much for the "Zomg good grafix" aspect, but for the political symbolism and leftist rhetoric that it was purported to spout. Now, I won't lie, I eat that shit up like a fat kid eats cake, and couldn't resist an offer to watch it over the holidays.

Note: I intend to spoil the whole plot. Don't worry, you're not missing much.

Avatar is set around 150 years in the future, and the entire movie is set in a different solar system to our own, on a planet called Pandora, which is apparently some kind of living organism where its humanoid inhabitants, the tribal Na'vi, live within and interact with it in a state of unraped harmony. Sound familiar?

Then, of course we have a megalomaniac Earth-based pan-planetary corporation seeking to exploit its most precious resource called-get this- Unobtanium. I'm under the assumption that the corporation, lead by the extremely unconvincing and poorly acted Giovanni Ribisi, which is supposed to represent some kind of White Devil (tm)  imperialist stereotype from history.

Interesting, the Na'vi themselves look like a fusion of many features of SWPL fetishes: Grasshoppers, lions, tribal Amerindians, Zulus and furries, and seem to be largely acted by blacks and hispanics.

SWPL Wet Dream Personified

Back onto the story, we have a protagonist called Jake,  a crippled ex-marine, who is taken on by the corporation to infiltrate a Na'vi community housed on a large supply of Unobtanium, utilising the corporation's technology that allows humans to essentially pilot captured Na'vi bodies as if he were one of them, from a distant location. Of course, being a secret SWPL, his undercover infiltration goes awry as he becomes to empathise with the noble alien savages, and he decides to side with them against the evil White-I mean human corporatists (meanwhile, he is under the control of human technology to exist along side the Na'vi, in a state of stasis in a human device that allows him to pilot the Na'vi body his former friends stole. Humans also cannot breath in the Na'vi home world without oxygen masks. He is also crippled. Do you see where I'm going with this?), and they fight a massive battle in which the Na'vi fight bravely, but sadly endure huge casualties, beginning to lose... Until the ecology and various creatures turn against the humans.

After that, a boss battle ensues between Na'vi Jake and the evil skinhead leader of the PMC hired by the corporation, technology versus mounted beast. To show you where the movie's agenda is aimed, during the melee the skin headed commander asks Na'vi Jake the laughably transparent line: "How does it feel to betray your race?" Of course, the battle is won by the SWPL and their tribal kin, and everything is all peachy as the humans (except a mixed race team of Jake, his bohemian stoner friend, hippy Sigourney Weaver, and a Latino) of the corporation are humiliatingly expelled from the planet forever, and the Na'vi utilise their magical mumbo jumbo voodoo to permanently transfer the injured Jake into permanent Na'vi form.

Aw, what a happy ending.

Not surprisingly, the entirety of the main nemeses to the Na'vi and Jake are all whites- I think the only exception may have been a black foot soldier or two.

So in reality, we have nothing new to see here, just the leftist-progressive equivalent of a cinematic Roman  triumphant through the dystopic remains of the post-Western world. A symbolic parade of masochistic extreme out-group loyalty and self-hatred on display for the entire world to see.

If the West hopes to regain any shred of self-respect, we must evacuate our collectives bowels of any of the glorified anyone-but-us-altruistic nonsense that this movie seems to personify. Make no bones about it, the people, like James Cameron, who pump this shit into the heads of our young and old alike, are our enemies.

The Face of Your Enemy

SWPL of the Week : Leonardo Dicaprio, Hollywood Leftist Tackles Tiger Extinction

Recently, these two unlikely figures became poster boys for the latest SWPL display of misplaced altruis-I mean a summit on saving the tiger.

Of course, what better place to focus your misplaced leftist universalist loyalty, than a carnivorous beast who would not hesitate to eat you given half a chance? I can understand Putin's angle, the perpetual Bond villian trying for some good 'ol  fashioned Western liberal publicity. What better way to demonstrate to your covert enemies' "elites" that you're like them than showing you care for the same irrelevant causes?

The elitist Hollywood liberal angle is something different entirely. For, to demonstrate you're one of them, you have to show that you have the same level of nihilistic contempt for your fellow man's struggle (unless it is as far removed as possible from your own demographic) while cheerleading for some irrelevant cause. This seems like the case with Dicaprio, he has to pay the piper in terms of showing he's part of the "The Hollywood Club".

In a healthy and upwardly mobile society, a demonstration of altruism would extend typically to one's own group, or, ingroup altruism, as Kevin Macdonald would call it. With all the racially motivated killings against whites in South Africa, the non-SWPL equivalent of attending a tiger conservation summit might be attending a SA Boer conservation summit, as their collective life expectancy doesn't look too hot, either. But in this highly individualist Western psychological climate, whites are less inclined to have any kind of group loyalty based on cultural or racial tradition, especially in the United States, the mecca of cultural Marxism.

In some ways, this couples itself with a more benign and less viscerally masochistic version of the Amy Biehl case. An upper class white girl goes out to South Africa to campaign against apartheid, and then is indiscriminately murdered by the very people she wants to free, which can only be worsened by her parents campaigning to have their daughter's killers excluded from the death penalty, and shaking their hands. Irony at its finest, or is it? If the Amy Biehl case is a cautionary tale of extreme liberal outgroup loyalty, this is a less severe version of the same affliction, coated in a glaze of self-satisfied apathy.

An inane cause like protecting an animal you will possibly only ever encounter only in zoos, which is lucky, because meeting it anywhere else will result in you becoming its dinner is a good example of how far removed SWPL interests are to the common man, and to common sense. For the SPWL crowd,  the much coveted display of extreme outgroup loyalty doesn't have to even extend to culturally/ethnically alien people. Indeed, in this case, the only similiarity and common identity being that they both are a mammalian class of vertebrate.
