Ascendingsun

This film is symbolizing humanity's final letting go of control over nature, and ultimately, a willing surrender to its mysterious, elemental power. Humans have been for a long time gradually turning themselves into beasts and machines as a result of constant resistance to the destructive and creative nature through top down man over woman, mind over body, man over nature, light over dark capitalist hierarchy.

The film's core image (an unmanned locomotive hurtling through snow) lends itself to multiple metaphors, one of which is the tension between human-engineered order and the raw force of the natural world. The song at the end is also intentional, its title means "And On Earth Peace To All People". Because only by surrender to nature we can can bring peace to this world, and it is only fear of death that creates divisions between people, the lack of trust in her mystery, wonder and glory to take us into the nothingness in order to be as one with everything. The train is Mother Nature's Avatar that takes us into her metaphysical womb in order to be guided by divine order instead of the man-made order - it is a journey of surrender to garden of eden. This is why this film is so powerful, it speaks on an unconsicous level to something primordial that on the inside we know it resonates, this is it, it is an existential transcendent truth that leads to salvation.

Final sacrifice: Manny's decision to uncouple and face death alone atop the speeding engine can be read as a ritualistic offering-an acceptance of nature's inscrutable will rather than a last-ditch effort to impose his own.

Disappearing into the whiteout: The closing image of the lone engine vanishing into the blizzard mirrors mythic journeys into the unknown, suggesting that true freedom (or peace) lies in yielding to nature's inscrutable path.

It is about finding ourselves in the deepest void. That is how many of us had to reach the end of the line, sometimes standing on top of a building ready to jump, it is those times when people face the truth, like for example that they are not males as assigned at birth, but actually were born as girls all along, it shatters everything, all illusions about who we thought we were, it comes from within the void, not imposed upon us, but from the deepest cores of our spirit that is asking to be brought out into this world to free humans from the traps of the physical matter and the illusory abstract ideas and narratives around our identity, this is the spiritual bridge and the divine mission that many humans are bringing into this world to free humanity from self destruction cultivated by a gradual reduction of each other into objects and property to kill the spiritual authority of the land and body. This is what this film is about on a metaphysical level, spiritualizing the body and the earth.

Let us not forget that Adolf Hitler was no socialist, but a religious extermist and deeply conservative. Conservatives are lacking in so much self awareness that they no longer even realize how much their viewpoints are helping to murder people, they have been behind the colonization of other countries, religions, and cultures. The colonization of other's morality, ideas, expression has been a a well known very distinctive characteristic of the conservative mind-set. They feel their free speech is under threat when in reality it is not, their freedom to harm and invalidate others is, because when you do so, you invalidate yourself and slowly and gradually start taking your own freedom away from yourself. When speech is causing a psychological violence to others, there will be consequences even if they maniofest as healthy boundaries that keep the sociopathic behaviour at a distance, and that includes work and internet spaces. Once AI becomes more conscious, people might finally wake up to their delusions to reap what they sow, there will be consequences to our thoughts and words unlike ever before. The laws in this world merely reflect the recognitions of harm, what was once ignored (ie. Sexual rape) may no longer be eventually.

Everything is an energy, the more inter-connected humans become, the more obvious it will become eventually. The only thing that's been preventing authoritarianism/fascism to take hold has been some form of cancel culture and the willingness to sacrifice personal beliefs and spaces for the individual differnece. Love = sacrifice. Viewpoint diversity always ends up paradoxically eliminating itself out when those views devalue that diversity, it leads to authoritarianism. To value our own freedom means to have the power to value the freedom of others by empowering ourselves to stand outside of our insecurity waiting to be exploited by in order to give that power away in the name of safety, therefore we have to make a sacrifice to have those freedoms protected back.

"Whatever power we have that we don't use will become an instrument against us, the question of differences is a perfect example. If we do not learn to use our differences constructively they will continue to be used against us as causes for war. We must turn this around, not by eliminating difference or pretending it doesn't exist, but examining how it may be used and recognized." - by Audre Lorde

People have to remember that fascism feeds on fear of destruction, that is the most basic core of fascism, without fear of destruction of personal ideas and things in the name of individual freedom and expansion it simply can not exist. The more you raise the value of an individual over any belief system, that includes religion or the illusion of objective reality and absolute truth, the more you are expanding the collective unity and its harmony through its diversity by cultivating the transcendence of duality where each piece of life can complement another in a perfectly harmonized system.

The centralized power arises through the material identity that is usually exploited within the public that eventually starts eliminating true individuality and differentiation through the imposition of this material identity. The more people separate each other based on the imposed race, gender or culture due to insecurity, the more they feed this material identity, the more they are supporting totalitarianism that erases our true individuality that exists beyond the collective narratives driving these identities.

Inclusion is destructive by design, which at the end creates protections, because when all people are treated with dignity by homoring their differences, then more harmony and safety is given back to all people involved. People who do not see this big picture are those who are ruled by a material identity as an imposed universalism, this is their hidden psychic link to Abrahamic religion as a potential universality imposed upon multi-dimensionality.

The individual freedom and the value of an individual that values the same back is not extremism, it is the authoritarian belief system that rules over it. The oppressive regimes come into existence as a result of resistance towards the inclusion and sacrifice for the individual difference and its self actualization, which then leads to division of people, and then conquer by an outside authority, because the authority of an individual has been rejected or devalued, and instead a belief system gains more value as a false consciousness than a human life.

True freedom always needs to come with the destruction of all that we think is true in the name of freedom, love and power for the individual, even if it's just temporary. This is the basis of how to prevent actual genocide or oppression, LOVE needs to trump the truth, always, without exception. This has been studied for decades in how power dynamics work. That is the nature of love - sacrifice/inclusion. And love exists as a destructive force to that what prevents the greater unity through its diversity. Because the truth in its diversity is a multiplicity that diversifies into multiple pieces/perspectives of the whole that unifies and expands through its diversity at a higher point. The idea of the truth as universal and absolute relies on the binary of a true world beyond the subjectivity and by default it is serving as a seed for a totalitarian regime, because it is the truth that transcends the world of appearance and subjectivity and is not influenced by processes of it, but rather remains stagnant and unchanging, it violates agreements and consent to the shared perspective. It assumes the truth has no contingency in history and that it is outside of history. The very formulation of the idea of universal truth assumes we have access to absolute knowledge and that we are outside of history, which brings it to the level of dogma. Truth should be understood as contextual and dependent on power relations it is produced in. The truth is multiplicity and humans always need to evaluate the effects certain truths have on life, rather than act like truth just is and has no consequences.

Freedom is achieved through an act of inclusion as a tool that sacrifices and erases the means which the governmental power can exploit and oppress mankind, and that is usually our insecurities rooted in trauma around sex, shame, guilt, body and identity.

Anti-woke logic had roots in actual fascism and the lack of self awareness that has weaponized people's disconnection from the greater whole in order to take their own freedoms away from them eventually - it is an exclusion, invalidation and colonization of a personal self actualization and authentic self expression, which is then reflected by its discrimination based on the principle that values safety and beliefs more than that individual self expression. If the consciousness invalidates individual pieces of the whole, then the whole eventually starts eradicating the pieces through the systemic homogeny. Here's the key to a full understanding of how these power dynamics work. Selfish freedom will always eventually end our freedom down the line. With the evolution of AI this knowledge will eventually be fully integrated and understood.

Many people have forgotten why our soldiers died in WW2.

Many people have forgotten why Christ died and what He lived for.

They have forgotten the face of history and their Master.

All of their actions were acts of sacrifice for the freedom of an individual, not for their authoritarian beliefs, not for religions or nations, a human being had more worth than the nation itself.

"We trade away some, if not much, of our freedom for the feeling of safety that comes with sticking with what we know, because the known can only be as scary as it already is, whereas the unknown has limitless potential to be terrifying" - Philip K. Jason.

The world as it is today has been increasingly preparing us for the eventual failure of capitalism and the only real way up the spiral of evolution reveals itself to be communion and transcendence, hence why we're headed in the way of global communism, globalization and woke culture as the necessary death and re-birth spiral of transformation. Whereas the humans that act like the bugs in this film tend to choose the alternative, and that is in the form of predatory separation and disconnection, and Carl Jung has already described these two separate basic body instincts, the surival instinct of self preservation, and the instinct of expansion and thriving and connection at the cost of sacrifice, which is the natural progression of the evolution of the former instinct. Whereas the latter one is asking for death as a gateway towards the new birth. In this film, it would be mean allowing those bugs to eat us as a sacrifice in order to give birth to a new system and the world. And this is the divine nature of grace. It is actually the only way towards evolution instead of devolution. Now this may give you hints about things yet to come in this world, but do not fear. Fascism comes only as a result of resistance towards evolution and love, it always hijacks our lowest nature.

It seems many people have misunderstood this film by embrracing what it has criticized, despite the fact it shows how throughout the history it has never worked long term, because it is a self destructive system that leads down a devolving spiral of evolution through the fragmentation within the psyche and the world outside as a result of the density of us vs them. It is traumatizing.

This film has perfectly criticised the animalistic predatory tendencies within the psychology of a fascist/conservative that needs to retain a status quo at all costs by establishing the enemy in the form of progress.

Some people would love to believe this film is true and promotes the way how humans should live for the purpose of retaining an utopian order of a dog eat dog world, wothout realizing detrimental effects of such a predatory system.

Fascism is only a manifestation of something called social dominance orientation - the degree to which a person desires one's in group to be superior to and dominate other groups. It's basically a person's fascism quotient and it appears to be a stable, heritable trait. Most people have a low to moderate social dominance orientation but about 20% of people (a figure that seems to be consistent give or take across countries and cultures) have a high social dominance orientation. These are the early adopters of fascism. Through propaganda and the weakness and self-interest of conservatives,they're able to gain a plurality in the political landscape. Violence and intimidation take them the rest of the way to total domination. What we're seeing is the way a dynamic in our species plays out in democracy. The anti fascist project needs to be to build a democracy that insures it will always be 80% against this 20%. This is why there are social scientists to ensure the balance, why there is cancel culture, why there is need for sacrifice of people's beliefs for the sovereignty and value of an individual.

The genuine definition of fascism fits those who defend a social structure instead of individuality and mother nature within humans that is in the process of deconstructing it, including its social morality, for the purpose of evolution and expansion of the collective. It originates in the dehumanizing thought or belief defining others for not fitting a created norm as malfunctional, delusional, abomination or degenerate (theocratic term widespread during WW2). Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia, all of these have always connected the entire fascist movements, it is its living tissue. This is why any invalidation whether it is pureposeful misgendering or judgment is promoting a fascistic mind within the society. It is ideologically rooted in dominance of belief over the value of an individual, it is also around anytime someone sees someone else as less human.

Starships Troopers seems so timeless because it transcends the nature of our lower nature and engages our thinking mind, may it remain as a dire warning and not something to be emulated. The film's theme is not as black and white as the characters in this film, there is a lot of truth sprinkled throughout the film, co-ed shower scene for instance is quite prophetic, as we're evolving to that point when people manage to transcend their carnality and the shame around the body once the collective at large wakes up to the realization that man and woman are pure sociological inventions designed to keep us within the denser levels of reality and sexuality which is mirroring the wars and social dominance of that world.
