Leftard Idiocy Hits New Low: Avatar Edition

So, has anyone seen the movie Avatar? Keyser couldn’t be bothered. Seems it’s Dances with Wolves with a bunch of 3-D effects and the typical leftist plot about nasty bad white male America destroying more pristine pure, tree-hugging natives. If Keyser wanted to hear about that shit, he’d read Howard Visarionich Zinn.

The proof that this impression is distressingly correct comes from the fact that in despondency at their being stuck on the block of stone known as “Earth” rather than that bucolic Tempe known as “Pandora,” leftard viewers are ready to pull a Jim Jones and start swilling the arsenic-flavored Kool-Aid. No, really:

Some Avatar fans are reportedly feeling as blue as Na’vi aliens once the movie ends. According to CNN, online forums have sprung up to support people experiencing depressed, even suicidal thoughts “because they long to enjoy the beauty of the alien world Pandora,” the film’s intricately rendered 3-D setting. Despondent fans have unleashed over 1,000 posts on one site, Avatar Forums, expressing their disgust with the relatively non-idyllic planet Earth and the human race. Has a new kind of filmmaking triggered a new kind of audience response? (Watch a report about the “Avatar Blues”)

Well, seems the rapture caused by the election of America’s first half-Kenyan president didn’t last long after the twelfth bail-out of Goldman Sachs. No pleasing some people, it would seem.

You know, all kidding aside (well, maybe not all), Keyser gets deluged with left-think all the time on his Facebook page from all his academic friends (and various fellow travellers), who mindlessly prattle on about their latest group hug of socialist thought or post some retarded article from Paul Krugman, Tom Friedman or some other imbecile du jour over at the Times (or, God forbid, the Toronto Star, Canada’s answer to Pravda now that it’s gone revisionist). And there’s one person who actually posts with these maudlin refrains about how bad the world is, and got lots of comments from leftard friends confirming the dirge about how awful life is. Like this (honest to God, this is a verbatim quote):

I wonder how anyone can ever be happy when you stop and think about what really goes on in the world. It’s truly all I can do to get through the day lately with all that’s on my mind, with the troubles of the world, the country, and our state…….my mind never shuts off. I agonize over things. How does one let go and relax? There are no answers.

Jesus, what’s the matter with these people? They have no conception of how the real world functions (economics is the sort of thing studied by people who would want to obliterate the blue-faced No-vee’s in the movie to get the unobtainable mineral or something called Unobtainium – yeah, no shit, that’s what it’s called, the reference is to some stupid science term for something rare). Keyser felt half-inclined to comment on the leftard’s post that they should really get a grip on themselves and not indulge too much in this sunt lacrimae rerum crap, but he thought better of it.

This way of thinking is completely irrational, and is the fundamental underpinning of leftist thought, with all its unreal expectations, inherent misanthropy and thorough-going misunderstanding of human motives and behavior. Leftists have drunk deeply at the old Christian well of hating the world (though they’ve given God the boot in the process). They hate the world and all those who are mired in its imperfections and don’t join them in seeking a “better world.” And like a Jehovah’s Witness, they can feel smug and superior to the benighted fools who don’t see their truth.

Down side is that they can get so wrapped up in their hatred of the world that they actually prefer to live in some fantasy made up by James Fucking Cameron – and suffer suicidal depression at the thought that they live here rather than there.

And to think that people like this are allowed to vote as if they’re adults. Some wonder Washington runs the way it does…

[Update. The esteemed Dr. Anton Phibes has seen this thing in all its bluish glory, and it almost made him vomit, though not for the reason that you probably think it did.]
