Metaphor for the Stout of heart

Many readers of political blogs will have a big problem with this image. But if you are familiar with Science Fiction and the function of fiction in general you will understand why I am posting this clip.

The best scene was when Alma Coin (Julianne Moore - where do they get these character names?) explained to the surviving victors that she planned to keep the Hunger Games going. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

I agree: She wanted them to agree to have a "Hunger Games" just one more time. And do notice that Snow has a Granddaughter.

In this brave new world literally no longer means literally. At TOP metaphor is taken as identity. There is no possibility for nuanced discussion. If that is the case here, I suppose here is no place for me.

For me, at least. I look for your posts and appreciate your logic.

That clip sure shows to me a metaphor for the whole farce we have with the Primaries and the corporate run nation picking yet another of their shills,,,,,either Republican or Hillary. Bernie is attacking the corporates and billionaires, Hillary is just their puppet, and folks voting for her do not see what a tool she is of the Corporatocracy. well played PriceRip.

connection to our society since the first one. We may not send our children to kill each other but we send them to kill others in our name. The only difference is that game is not televised.
