New York Times: Upon review, the real horror of "Jaws" isn't the shark, it's President Trump and Capitalism
http://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2020/07/09/new-york-times-upon-review-the-real-horror-of-jaws-isnt-the-shark-its-president-trump-and-capitalism/
Here's an opinion piece from the New York Times we'd missed a couple of days ago but it's worth a look. Writer Jennifer Weiner writes about the experience of seeing "Jaws" at a drive-in movie theater during the COVID-19 pandemic and decides that the real horror isn't the shark, but "the leader who initially values capitalism over saving lives" - like President Trump and all of those Republican governors who are reopening beaches, encouraging adults to go back to work, and demanding that children go back to school.
We understand that one of the symptoms of TDS is the inability to enjoy entertainment as escapism but only as an allegory for life under the Trump administration. Weiner writes:
"All I'm saying is that Amity is a summer town - we need summer dollars," Mayor Larry Vaughn argues after the first attack, when the chief of police wants to close the beaches. It was a phrase that could have been ripped off for a speech by one of the Republican officials who initially refused to shut down his state's beaches or insisted on reopening the bars. ...
Masks have been politicized to the point that donning one is akin to sporting a "Biden for President" bumper sticker on your face. And instead of a leader who steps up to do the right thing, we've got a president who delights in divisiveness and wallows in woe-is-me, while too many of his fellow Republicans, loath to cross him, seem to care more about those summer dollars than dead citizens or grieving families. Instead of a boat on the water, we've got heads in the sand. ...
From the Ozarks to Fire Island to the Jersey Shore, we've all seen pictures of Americans who won't deny themselves their summer pleasures, insisting they happen just as they always have.
But how can we be surprised? Our leader is standing knee-deep in the shallows, smiling and beckoning and telling us that the water's fine.
Hmmm ... before you go any further with your thoughts, Jennifer, you may want to go ask your state governor about his policies that turned New York nursing homes into veritable death chambers. Just sayin' ...
So, is the real horror of "Jaws" Donald Trump, Republicans, or Capitalism?
Zach Parkinson ~ No, it's actually the shark.
HEY, Zach - your gonna spoil the ending, man!
MonopolyMan ~ No one came sprinting out of the water fearing being attacked by a capitalist. Good grief.
Amber Collins ~ What happened? Like can we pinpoint what happened that caused this hatred of Capitalism and this push for Socialism and Marxism? How did we get here?
I hear ya, Amber ... but this has been percolating for a long, long time, now, in the Democrat Party.
james ~ It was literally a capitalist who quoted a price and took the boat out and made the killing of the shark possible. The government forces all failed.
E. ~ Exactly! "For $10,000 dollars you get the head, tail, the whole damn thing."
polybius ~ The dumbest part about using the Jaws example all of the time is it's a fake movie that caused a nationwide hysteria over something that has an essentially 0% chance of killing you.
Max Zorin ~ Now do Ghost Busters, NYT.
David Harrod ~ The Real Horror was not the Ghosts in Ghost Busters, but the four men who did everything in their power to restrict their rights and try to imprison them, including firing frightening military grade weapons at them.
Bill Mc7 ~ The Real Horror of "Aliens" isn't the "Aliens."
It's the racist crew not being more welcoming to the undocumented passengers.
Doctor_Evil ~ The horror of The New York Times isn't the paper it's printed on but the idiots who decide what stories to print.
Law & Order Lives Matter ~ I thought it was all the cis white males on board that boat?
Sparkling Jules ~ My eyes just rolled all the way to the back of my head, down my spine, bounced off my ass, and rolled out the door like those meatballs.
Jen ~ Shark is asshoe.
Damn it, Jen ... haven't you ever heard of a SPOILER ALERT?!
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
