evangelion 3.3
i hope someday the japanese are strong enough to kick all the americans out of the 20+ bases they've built in japan. because all that americans dream about these days is zombie apocalypses and murdering people as an upgrade of their failed religion. its post christianity - sorting a godless humanity into the damned and the saved. there are no more dreams of the future in the american imaginary that aren't barbaric. i hope the japanese are strong enough to realize that if it came down to it those american soldiers would start murdering and pillaging japan like they already do in the middle east.
eva 3.3 is intelligent enough to include themes of environmental destruction, post humanism in a way that isn't conservative. it's a sign of a culture that's growing rather than dying like ours is. the protagonist can't even find the will to live. our culture on the other hand is in total denial about its anxiety and failure, which manifests as the aggressive demand to be positive at all times which is omnipresent nowadays.
