You're not intelligent. All you've done is parrot some shallow talking point to push political agendas. You're just a repeater on a circuit, operating for free.
Don't look up Germany's demographics.
their white birth rate is under Japan's
>Being optimistic at this point
Insane
Japan could lose 40 million people and still have the same population and density as Germany. As long as they build enough cute robots to do the excess labor, they should be fine. (Or just have a Battle Royale for olds.)
Why are leftists obsessed with the birth rates in a country on the other side of the planet? Let me guess, you have a solution? And that solution is mass immigration?
>a culture that changes all the time is no longer the same culture it was before. In order for a culture to exist in its form, it is necessary that it plateaus, at least until it reaches a golden era or a couple artistic movements, and is only replaced by something subtly different usually through the slow adoption of tech in a way that doesnt destroy the fabric of the society
The Human Project is the hope and the government's rejection of it is why they don't continue. Which is of course ironic because the UK is responsible for the Human *Genome* Project and Dolly The Sheep which the book/film take inspiration from. Despite a larger international consortium existing to fix the problem, the government hunkers down into their bunkers and refuses to leave because that would require admitting Britain can't do it themselves due to the erosion of British academia, destruction of the school system, and general incompetence.
He has all this money and power, enough to steal the world's artifacts from collapsing governments, but doesn't use it for anything new. He runs the world's most expensive graveyard while his wife does philanthropy, his son almost totally disabled and unable to continue his work. When confronted with this he takes drugs and demands his child does the same, even though it's probably castrating him chemically. This is the end when rich people would rather be expensive hoarders rather than do something new. It also references his fear of failure, rejection and isolation despite failing to raise a child, rejection by his wife and isolation inside his museum. Compare this to his brother who, despite being a total loser with a dead-end job, is able to at least birth a child, attract women, and have social interactions.
During the Franco-Prussian War of 1871, there was a rumor that German artillery had struck the Louvre, destroying all of its contents. In response to this rumor, the German composer Richard Wagner told his young friend Friedrich Nietzsche that if the French people couldn’t reproduce the treasures of the Louvre in the present generation, they didn’t deserve to possess them.
The point is that "culture", "society" and "civilization" can't exist in such extremes where the choice is prison or total chaos. In the film's case it's the government's reaction to it's inevitable death is to consolidate resources, impose new special enforcement mechanisms, and hope a solution is found as larger and larger areas have to be written off. Capitalism's mass production and industrialism successfully annihilated all opposing cultures, creating a disgusting gruel that can't reproduce itself. The film is still largely about the public's denial of it, as the walls close in and normal western society ceases it's ability to function. Meanwhile the only people willing to do anything about it, the left, has their leader uselessly killed in a random bandit raid.
What starts as a global empire reduces to just Europe, then just Western Europe, and inevitably the UK. Through the film we see the entire Southeast security zone break down as the Battle of Bexhill occurs. British culture is already eliminated, as it's only remaining cultural aspects is some hippie that's killed by his own friends halfway through. The state cultural bureau has no real influence in the real world, largely existing to preserve the ministers' own sanity as the world outside their sector crumbles. And this ultimately concludes with one of their preeminent engineers being killed, ensuring the ongoing energy crisis evolves into a total catastrophe as civilian fuel sales are suspended. It's a horror film.
No answers are presented because there aren't answers. Smart people with new ideas eject. And such is how the future is really lost when other areas develop a new idea or culture that cannot be created internally.
You're probably posting this to ironically make this movie seem like leftist anti-tradition propaganda but this scene is the polar fricking opposite. All of the greatest creations of humanity fell into the hands of some random guy in his private collection. A sterile modernist in a hideous house who gives zero cultural significance to any of his items
Pretty much everything in the movie is meaningless, including the reaction to the failing society. It only has weight and meaning when people decide it does, and from that culture is constructed.
>lets give it to black muslims

Bro don't google Japanese birthrates
As long as they don't import non-Japanese it's a nonissue.
Gonna happen sooner or later
Not necessarily.
>Being optimistic at this point
Insane
You have a source for that?
Literally the highest in East Asia, read a book you stupid homosexual

They dont need 120 million people anymore.
Don't look up Germany's demographics.

because that was the situation proposed, and he offered evidence against it
They're higher than some diverse Western European countries' birthrates without importing millions of fifth columns
If your culture is the same as your parent's culture, then they've stolen your life from you.
That makes zero fricking sense you leftist moron
>If your culture is the same as the multinational corporations' culture, then they've stolen your life from you
Do you find it hard to imagine that you could make your own contribution to your generation?
>t. BlackRock executive
>now die for a ghetto nigress after your ex wife is murdered and everything is taken from you
The movie is so prescient in retrospect

That was a really eye opening sequence.
The elites in their elysium.
Nice trips, but animals is fricking kino

NOOOO THIS GUY SHOULD BE POOR AND MISERABLE AND GIVE ALL HIS MONEY AWAY EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO HOPE FOR MANKIND CONTINUING AT THAT POINT!!!

and Nietzsche responded by saying high art is impossible today (basically insulting him)
>that if the French people couldn’t reproduce the treasures of the Louvre in the present generation, they didn’t deserve to possess them.

expensive art is the first fricking thing that survives a war

cultures change. all the time.
I like the explanation zizek gives, that art acquires meaning through cultural context
Pretty much everything in the movie is meaningless, including the reaction to the failing society. It only has weight and meaning when people decide it does, and from that culture is constructed.
