However, this time it occurred to me that the plot can be seen as a political metaphor. At the risk of reading too much meaning into it, the tragic antagonist is the scientist played by Walter Pidgeon, who also represents the ancient and extinct Krell race that long ago populated the planet but somehow mysteriously disappeared. As the plot develops, we finally understand that the Krell committed racial suicide because they released their darker, most evil natures that they had somehow forgotten or failed to acknowledge. The evil was always present, but was unwittingly given destructive power via the Krell’s ultimate societal/technical construction that provided any material want just by thinking about it. As the scientist likewise succumbs, the movie likens this to Freud’s id released through the subconscious.</em><br /><br /><em>This is the type of message that our culture used to deliver as both a teaching device and a </em><em>reinforcement</em><em> of traditionalism. Now it is anathema, quaint, outdated, replaced by the noxious</em> Avatar<em>. I think we’ve fallen a long way.”</em><br /><br />Absolutely.<br /><br />Something that I wrote in the non-published chapters strongly reminded me the words of <strong>Conservative Swede</strong> that I could very well have quoted somewhere in the <em>Quetzalcoatl</em>:<br /><br /><em>“W</em><em>ith Christ as part of the equation, the Christian ethics of the Gospels became balanced. Humans were seen as imperfect and it was Christ who covered for us with his self-sacrifice. In Secular Christianity each person has to be like Jesus himself, doing self-sacrifice, since there’s no other way to realize Christian ethics.”</em><br /><br />Suicidal liberalism might be, in part, a latter-day (and distorted) incarnation of the original morals of Christianity.Checharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07958061355210472570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35605999.post-9374692894032935562009-10-22T18:41:43.191+01:002009-10-22T18:41:43.191+01:00Not so.

I would recommend you do the same. <br /><br />If you respond to this post in GoV would you be kind enough to state there that some discussion about your points is taking place in this blog?

The outcome the state controls and conditions the constituents of the family.<br /><br />It works on an (State-sponsored) idealised notion of childhood, parenting and the family.<br /><br />This form psychological warfare is well advanced in U.K. political and social policy.In Hoc Signo Vinces†https://www.blogger.com/profile/03248627310823319105noreply@blogger.com
