Our future as seen through television- Star Trek: Enterprise VIDEO

[Yollam]

Whether you think our democracy was derailed in 1963, or 2001, there is no doubt that it's been derailed.



This short video gives a glimpse of what the future might be like if America isn't beyond saving:

And here's what it looks like if the BFEE Amerikkka timeline continues uninterrupted.

I love the contrast between these two videos. It's as stark as that.




I know this is just a fantasy TV show, but it dealt with a lot of what is going on today. I especially liked it when they had America occupied by the nazis, showing how Americans might feel if THEY were the occupied ones. It was broadcast as the Iraq war fell apart. I wonder how many people got the point?

3. No problem.

I'm going to bump this thread a few times. First, to get it away from the screwed-up one, and second, because the videos are alternately inspiring and depressing, IMO.
