While saying, “stupid assholes there are no proper races of humans just color variations”.
Human “races” are Functionally more closely related to dog breeds than anything else, but far less extreme in variation of features.
A chihuahua is more different compared to a great dane than you are from any other ethnicity of fellow human.
Who is downvoting this??
Chihuahuas
Downvotes aren’t real. People use bots to downvote each other all the time here so why would you take them seriously?
Found the asshole who uses bots to downvote people
There is only one race.
[writes down “humans” on ballot]
False. There is also 3-legged.
This is just the beginning of what could be a great movie.
I don’t know what the actual direction the story goes based on this premise, but I wanna see it.
You would like the movie Circle (2015)
I did like that movie. I saw it years ago, but every time I tried to describe it to someone I couldn’t think of the name. I can’t remember how it ended exactly, but I’ll probably throw it on when I go to my brother’s place.
We’ve been catching up with a lot of culture we missed out on due to being stuck in an overly religious household growing up. So we take time each (well most) Sundays to watch something we know Mom would hate. It’s therapeutic in a word kind of way.
Reminds me of that Black Mirror episode when people could post names of people they wanted to be killed and every day the most posted person were killed. After some time, the man behind that killed all of the people who voted for anybody.
So in that killer’s mind, wanting someone killed was the morally indefensible crime but actually killing ludicrous numbers of people is not? And he nor anyone else questioned that? 🤔
Bit of context and spoilers - He was making a statement about social media threats/harassment
The first part - using social media - whoever people vote to be killed, gets killed. Trying to show these actions have consequences. The people voting feel immune to these consequences. They just voted, they didn’t kill anybody.
He goes through 5 rounds of voting, with more votes every time. After each round, the most voted for is killed.Up to this point he’s exposing people trying to use social media to try and harm people Eventually he turns it around, and kills everyone who voted
The whole thing kicked off because his friend/romantic interest tried to commit suicide from cyber bullying. He’s pushing that these actions have consequences, even if you hide behind a screen.
The killer himself is a psycho, so the morals aren’t exactly impactful to him. As for anyone else questioning, the definitely do.
Disclaimer - been a while since I watched the episode. It’s pretty good, definitely need some suspension of disbelief (but that’s most episodes)
I get that what he’s trying to do, it’s just his actions are self-defeating. The only reason the behavior on social media has violent consequences is because he’s imposing them; no one else in that story is killing people based on meaningless Facebook polls. They only matter because he makes them matter. He causes the problems he thinks he is solving.
Also he assumes his actions will make people reconsider their choices and change, which they won’t because people for the most part aren’t capable of change. Most people don’t have the ability to do so. Those who do deliberately refuse to because they’re happy the way they are regardless of their true nature’s consequences to other people.
It’s just a stupid gimmicky show pretending to be deep to get views. That’s all.
This is how every episode of Black Mirror is. Just little interesting “what if” scenarios that make you think. In the same way that fairy tales are contrived and unrealistic these are too.
