Baileyism - The FBI Scowled At Its a Wonderful Life

So lit out of my mind a few nights ago while watching It's a Wonderful Life, I proposed a philosophy that I was originally going to attribute to Star Trek. But the problem with Star Trek is, as science fiction, it is easily dismissible by the skeptic. I'm of course not the only person to think of creating a utopian society using it as a hook, but while I firmly believe it is possible to achieve the utopian ideal of such a society; the lack of transporters, FTL and replicators (especially the replicators) will be hand waved by those of a limited mind set as fundamental impossible.

Anyway, I'm not the first one who noticed how awesome the movie is. Indeed, here are some examples:

Reddit, Current Affairs, The Institute for Christian Socialism, the Society for US Intellectual History, the Federalist, the Mary Sue, TheSerpent'sHouse, the Stalin Loving Socialists of the Nation, and the WSJ which thinks it's pro capitalism.

But did you know that the FBI and demonic HUAC investigated the movie? They felt that it villanized capitalism and our Aristocratic Masters. You see before the 1960's, the quiet part was said more out loud that this has always been a capitalist slaver nation for capitalist slavers and the FBI existed and exists to help and serve them; not us. Indeed, a lot of the ammunition that the demonic HUAC used for their blacklists came from the LA Field Office of the FBI. They felt that because it smeared "Free enterprise" that it was subversive to "the American Dream."

Look, the fact of the matter is, that if the FBI thinks that this movie is the devil, and everyone on the left and the right wants to claim this movie or decry this movie as the devil, then maybe its worth a second look. This movie is also particularly interesting as the basis for an anti capitalist philosophy because it is unique in that it went into the public domain and was so popular that it actually GOT CLAWED BACK to make money for for profit corporations again. It went public domain in the mid seventies and then in the midninesies the people who owned the original book got that and bought the sound track and now NBC Universal owns it.

It became popular because small independent television stations could play it again and again during Christmas because it was cheap and free and it became a beloved American tradition. And at the same time, then Wall Street stuck a flag in it and made money off of it. Maybe the fact that the movie is all about not clawing things back from the public domain and that the FBI thinks is unamerican because it makes our capitalist masters look like dogshit is worth a second glance.

Star Trek is where you wanna go; Its a Wonderful Life is how you get there.

Domestic Politics

I will not vote for Harris again under any circumstances, and no amount of shrill lecturing will convince me otherwise. Every time a dem of any kind lectures me on voting for centrist nazi enablers, all recurring contributions to ANY dem will cease for 90 days

I will not vote for any dem that takes a dime from Aipac

I will not vote for any dem if South Kkkarolina, New Hampshire and Iowa, all red nazi states, determine the candidate

No republican will ever be worse than Trump; the dems rolled the dice on Harris and Failed and I am done propping up their weak ass

Go ahead and lecture me and hurt the aclu and justice dems

Baileyism - A Manifesto on a Eucatastrophic Iterative Neoreverent AnCapitalist Utopian Philosophy

Why if I told you there was a utopian work that was not religious, not governmental, not economic but that simply involved private individuals creating the perfect town in the perfect timeline where they really do live Happily Ever After? I speak of "It's a Wonderful Life." The government exists in this work, but it doesn't save the people. The economy exists, and capitalism exists, but people manage to come together and build a better life in spite of it. And it's not really unrealistic. There is some Eucatastrophic intervention from an Angel, but no one counted on it. Everyone worked for themselves and hoped for the best, giving thanks in a reverent fashion but prominent religious displays are very rare except the most secular of holiday decorations, celebrating the reverence of Christmas without needing to have a particular sect favored; spirituality without dogma. If one can have a Christmas movie that is Spiritual, but without Dogma, can one also have a philosophy of private individuals who come together in sufficient numbers together over time to help each other overcome those who wanna hurt everyone else and be assholes and psychopaths to each other. They do their duty to help their neighbor and fight the war to defend their country, but they live their lives and give to each other and give back without giving everything.

This is a Neutral Good Movie.

And it is an iterative movie; people don't get it right the first time, but by being decent to each other and helping each other as a shield against capitalist shitbags, like the ants that make a raft by holding on to each other, they survive the Great Depression together. They survive the Great War together, but George Bailey is the quinstisential individual who gives and gives and gives of his own choice, and moral obligation and then is finally helped by the community around him in his hour of direst need. It is a movie about rugged non toxic individualism but understanding the best American balance between the individual need and the good of the collective without dogma. There were no parties, there were no hidden agendas or insane hierarchies, though people still had their societal roles.

And nobody. had to die. They just did this for each other. They built institutions. They build a Bailey Building and Loan that acted as the framework for that liferaft that kept the whole town together. If it hadn't been for George Bailey, there would have been no Building and Loan. So it also teaches the valuable lesson that there is no someone else.

You want to make the world a better place? Then you need to be the one to do it, on an individual level and build your raft and help others and hope they will help you; do the best you can, not asking anyone for anything but being a decent human being. And sometimes it isn't a scam. And sometimes it isn't a con, and sometimes you can beat the Capitalist Nationalist Lying Potters. Mr. Potter Never lied about he was, and that makes him morally superior to the ones that sit in the shadows and broligarch us to death.

We need Baileyism.

Postponing the LARP

Due to recent events in the news, is gratifying and frustrating. There is clearly a great thirst for batlarps, but it also appears no one wants to run games except one in a million; so if one in three wants to play but one in a million wants to run; providing case files will help no one if they make characters but never use them

Going straight to philospophy

BatLARP

Due diligence has been followed.

The collapse of America is coming in Economic, political, scientific, climate or cultural form; maybe all of the above

My work to now is a blue print on how to address this

And for tomorrow I am creating a Utopian Philosophy to Underpin a dogma free Anticapitalist practice and theory; and I think it will work but I am neither a philospher nor economist but no one else is doing shit to break the cycle as near as I can tell; just pushing the same rat crack levers hooked to their brain

Whether or not I am right, I am done ranting about politics the same way....forever. Even in another country I can be poloniumed.for speaking out against Leader Trump, and given the plan to destroy the us dollar (basically treason) we are headed for a depression that makes the Great Depression look tame

So Batlarp

Here are the fields

Which Batman? There are so many batmans, this will narrow it down

Who is the enemy? Describe the nefarious criminal and their nefarious law breaking plan?

How will Batman defeat them? Self evident

Complications for Batman; self evident

Resolution; also self evident

Next up: Batman vs Dr Virus!!!
