First thoughts. Will watch again and comment further.
Couple spoilers.
This is a must watch till the end.
The director using an old Ed Griffin interview as narration was absolute brilliance.
Thank the lord he is still alive, because near the end he pops up and gives current thoughts.
Desmet Mathias who wrote the book Totalitarianism is featured. He was a huge reason i did not even think about the vax.
He coined the term 'mass formation'.
I wish the director would have featured Eric Hoffer and his seminal work, 'True Believer', which i think Desmet got his original thesis from.
For those that do not know?
In the 60's a guy without a high school degree was an honorary professror at Berkeley. From the 6th floor during student protests, he said, "the monkeys have taken over the zoo". Might have been the "inmates have taken over the asylum".
Been a while.
Anyway, one of his students at that time?
Our national treasure, Thomas Sowell.
Moving on.
The director interviews Zuby near the end. I loved this interview and the question he posed.
For those that do not know, Zuby is a black englishman who is a singer and podcaster.
Most importantly though, in my opinion?
The guy speaks perfect queens english.
His speech is so intelligible.
Some might wonder why I say that and wtf is Queens English?
Goes back to Queen Elizabeth and when Britain was imperialist. "The sun never sets on England".
During those times, you had to speak and enunciate your words properly, so people would begin to understand your language in far away places.
Anyway, the director asks Zuby who has travelled the world, "have you ever encountered a country like the United States, that has course corrected for past sin"?
Zuby, replied "no".
So many things about this documentary were done so well.
Funny too that the director was a Bernie bro, and was hired to follow and film that campaign. If you think back to 2016 and the days of confiscating coats and the mandatory disavowals, it shows the influence Trump and MAGA and The Great Awakening are having.

The hypnosis of masses was explained thoroughly.
Highly recommend watching till the end.
Good job, filmmakers!

Turnin’ enemies into frens!
So true. I did not mention it, but you bring up a great point.
Here is a truly artistic director that just made a beautiful documentary.
That creative skill and expression used to be only on the left, but guess what?
It is now on the "right".
I put right into quotes because politics has changed.
Never again will i support a Bush or Desantis Republican.
I will focus from ground up to supporting Edmund Burke conservatives.
The people that know, ok we got something special, but tweaks need to be made.
Must add, "we are close approaching when tweaks will not help. A complete dismantling might be necessary".
Sigh
