The creator of the movie is giving 99% of the audience the middle finger while telling them how shallow they are, and I love it.

only just now someone on one of the other ss I read, forwarded an article on the Brazilian philosopher/educator Paolo Freire, and there are many middlefingers in his work (very refreshing indeed!) - https://iep.utm.edu/freire/

Thought-provoking post! Thank you. This I particularly enjoyed:

"Choose updating your profile. Tell the world what you had for breakfast in the hope that someone somewhere cares."

The whole point being that we are all herded into a certain way of thinking. We are all told that THIS is what matters, and THIS is what's important. ........, while it is only YOU who decides what's important in your life.

My favorite is: Choose a slow reconciliation towards what you can get, rather than what you’ve always hoped for. Settle for less, and keep a brave face on it.

......, and I am very happy to say I took some bold chances in my life, and they turned out quite well. In 2003 I left my ex. In 2004 I found the love of my life. In 2006 I applied for the job of my dreams, and got it. Those are just a few.

So what do you think the role of "the jews" was in 911? Aside from the admitted role of being there to film the event?

Most of the people who did 9/11, or most of the globalists, or most of the people who were in charge of the global bio-weapons attack five years ago JUST HAPPENED to be Jewish. More to the point, they are/were (since many are now dead) Zionists.

For me the operative word is neither think or believe. Anyone with an IQ of 90 or more understands that Israel did 9/11, and the www is full of evidence to that fact.
