one of my favorite kaiju movies has a very explicit moral at the end, when the japanese guy dumps the blonde left leg of the love triangle (the only white woman and only non-japanese person in the entire film) at the end and says THINGS SHOULD STAY WHERE THEY ARE. it's horrible and i love it. but you know, maybe it had a point.
?
sorry i'm really high, sometimes my brain skips a few steps. the oil. leave it there.
I’m not sure the analogy works, because the movie’s message is pretty xenophobic and xenophobia is contributing to the terrifying population decline of Japan.
"THINGS SHOULD STAY WHERE THEY ARE"
Terrifying?
Check out this video. I know this is about South Korea, and it’s Kurzgesagt which I understand there are some issues with, but the stuff laid out in this video applies to Japan, too. Not quite as badly or as soon, but it’s a grim picture.
LEAVE IT IN THE GROUND
Never been to a climate demo?
Apparently not
