Battlestar Galactica
It's focuses on the survivors of humans in devastated colony worlds. The politics of this series reflect the left-wing reaction to the war on terror, stressing on the significance of democracy and civilian leadership.
The old ‘70s series, and it’s newer remake have, surprisingly different political ideologies, with the same basic story line.

What Explains Today's Wave of Nostalgia?
Nostalgia Reloaded
Pop culture, be it movies, music or TV series, is increasingly and blatantly relying on the past, and using our feeling of the longing of the past, our nostalgia, to bait us into watching or liking...
Back To The Future
The 1960s and the 70s saw imaginative ‘future’ oriented shows like Star Trek TOS, animated series like the Jetsons, and groundbreaking science fiction stories by gifted writers, most of which turned into blockbuster movies.
The world, which was looking forward at that time, is now increasingly looking backwards.
The Nostalgia Paradox
The feeling of nostalgia should be high when the present is unpleasant, but this isn't what is happening.
Today’s world offers infinitely better technology, information, and comfort than in the past. We have better civil rights, liberty, and greater opportunities(and options) for a successful life. Still, we hanker for the past, making this a Nostalgia Paradox.

Joker, Individualism, and the Dangers of Cultural Narratives
Joker’s commentary on society
Joker is a psychological movie, showing the dangers of group action and the power of group narratives.
It is a very interesting commentary on society as it mirrors the phenomenon of dei...
A dangerous movie
Many reviewers see the Joker as a dangerous film because it might inspire incels to identify with the character as a hero and copy him.
The real evil to be feared is a broken, frustrated society that is willing to participate in almost purposeless acts of violence, then put deeper meaning into it, and ultimately use it as a springboard for mass violence and brutality.
Society and Mass Violence
Gotham City in Joker is a fundamentally broken city.
- Arthur Fleck (the Joker) is failed by every level of society.
- However, every class in Joker wants to shift the blame.
- When Arthur commits murder, society turns this purposeless act of violence into an act of social rebellion.
- Despite knowing nothing about the reason for the murder, Gotham's people imbue it with shared meaning, forcing this event into their narrative, and held Joker as a hero.
- When Arthur commits another purposeless murder, it sparks riots.
- The real villain of the movie is the broader society that latches onto actions and imbues them with nonexistent meaning to justify their own crimes.
