Really good points that I've not seen articulated this well before.

I remember seeing the movie at the cinema when it came out and it really upset me. I cried all the way home and I was still tearful the next day at school. I really struggled to explain to people that no, it wasn't about Leonardo DiCaprio, it was this catastrophic and unnecessary loss of life caused by greed and hubris

Titanic nerd here. There are definitely lessons that we've still not learned. Greed and hubris are easily spotted, but the more insidious enemy that doomed Titanic was complacency. In 1912 there was a real sentiment that man was the master of the universe, that war was a thing of the past, that modern science made ships practically unsinkable... none of that was true, of course.

Jack Thayer, a survivor, later wrote about how the Titanic sinking presaged a sea change in the world, and not for the better:

"There was peace and the world had an even tenor to its way. Nothing was revealed in the morning the trend of which was not known the night before. It seems to me that the disaster about to occur was the event that not only made the world rub its eyes and awake, but woke it with a start, keeping it moving at a rapidly accelerating pace ever since with less and less peace, satisfaction and happiness. To my mind the world of today awoke April 15th, 1912"

"Don't look up" exemplifies this 1000x better. It's frustrating AF but you have to remember to laugh or you'll go nuts.

The real joke is always how people completely miss the point on these things.

Unfortunately, Republicans don’t care about logic or reality. They care only about winning.

Exactly! I've been saying this for long now. The truly dangerous people aren't stupid. If they were stupid, they'd be easily defeated. What makes them so dangerous is that they know exactly what's going on and also know exactly how to manipulate people into eating dirt, because it tastes so well, and really, is a sign of proper wealth, because you can afford all that dirt, and don't you want to buy more?

It's hilarious when people think it's just one "party" of the state.

Both parties

🙄

Like the children of anti-vaxxers.

Or Americans about theirs 😂
