Great read. Ready Player 1 came to mind as reading it. It’s amazing how many once clear and obvious truths are oscillating between profound thought and ____ - phobic

I gotta finish that film. Saw some of it on a plane and enjoyed it.

"capitalist institutions are no longer afraid of Black conspiracy theories in 2023 because they don’t believe that the masses of Black people are going to do anything that conflicts with capitalist values and interests."

Man, you really roll some grenades into the room with this one. (That is a compliment coming from me, lest it seem ambiguous.) Also: "Reports suggest that there is a class of young people who experience so much anxiety around day-to-day life that they are energized and enthused by people who display extreme sub-human mediocrity." YES

That said, I enjoyed THEY CLONED TYRONE on its own merits and thought it was very funny. But I think that your overall judgment is acute; it serves up a dish of actual learned helplessness along with its satirical assessment of learned helplessness. "Whatcha gonna do? Nothin'" seems to be the moral.

Thank you. I think that there is a strong perception that Black people won't respond to the debauchery in the U.S. I think this story also serves as a microcosm for the entire country. and how the nation's leadership sees its citizens. Black people are the guinea pigs for plans that involve all U.S. citizens. There's a lot of hubris coming from the social engineers and pride goeth before the fall. I appreciate your feedback and insight!
