Think about the Cradle from GoldenEye, what a phenomenal scene that was. Society was far more curious which is why the "Arecibo Observatory" was built in the first place. But then someone had the insight to make a movie there.
Now what do we have? "First black woman plays James Bond", that's your novel idea. Same goes with all these modern black guy thrillers. Scenery shot on top of the line cameras, and while actual scenery is very beautiful, but the rest of the movie is dreadfully boring. The scenes and locations generally touristy and not exactly novel. You can never fall in love with the characters because you just know they are only there because they are black. It's forced.
What's the point? The business model currently operates on the idea that you will never run out of stupid people. But I think the economy is showing plenty of cracks in the foundation and the stock market itself is shaky. Clearly we are running on fumes here, with these stupid ideas, with this stupid agenda. These people that run society can't make good on continuing to employee these entitled stupid people. In the end they will become dumb angry people who discover a (((knife))) planted firmly in their back.
Maybe then we can get back to having based James Bond'ses. But not until global communism has been routed. Until then the idea of having an identity, a group, a place to call home, is all antithetical to what they are trying to do to you.

Either way is a win.
They can reverse the momentum of the pendulum, but if they try it will swing harder against them next time. They're better off letting it go or else they'll be flung off.

well the pendulum can only go either way and only for a certain amount of time. e.g. 60 years, since the 60s.
After that amount of time, the more effort you spend preventing it swinging will only make it swing faster and harder.
its like if you take a hermetically sealed pot of water and put it on the stove, because you don't want any steam escaping. eventually itll just pop.
They are trying to turn all of society into a bunch of incompetent morons who are trapped in hell with them. and no doubt they will eventually succeed. But there are definitely people who aren't clowns out there that could actually take the world and run with it for a while longer, and make something of it. even from the dire point we find ourselves in. at least we start from a point where there are an abundance of bad examples.
after 10-20 years though, things will start getting really rough

They want to swing the pendulum to the top and balance it there -- never going to happen.
