it does look rather like your independence day is under attack, first hollywood did their bit by making it a sci-fi film about saving the world from aliens, now there seems to be more effort to make it about the world. All very clear erasure techniques.

Wouldn't be too quick to dismiss it as pathetic, from here I'd say stage 1 was a complete success. To most of the world's youth your day is already erased, ask them what today is and it's Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith.

Sadly you're right, although that speech was epic...

Not my independence day Talc, I’m a Brit, but I agree with your general point.

I would say that I believe they will ultimately fail pathetically and completely, but the road to there is going to be very very rough.

I have to say the follow-up is weak, thought the propaganda machine would have been pushing today with bunting, look how superficially normal the new normal is and it's your independence day too. Instead they seem to be running with fear the drunken violence & Covid II (just when you thought it was safe to go back into the city centre)
