The most interesting detail from this article is the part where he says exactly all the things you would expect an NSA shill to say on a blog, if, hypothetically, an NSA shill kept a blog.

There's a movie released in 2001, called Enemy at the Gates, but it's kind of cheesy. But since you asked, it qualifies as the ever-so-rare Hollywood movie about a WWII scenario, involving a Russian protagonist, as told from a Soviet perspective.

It's the only English-language movie I can think of that fits those criteria.

I believe any movement in favor of a collective attempt to cling to an anachronistic past, in the face of drastic, rapid, broad, sweeping social and economic changes facilitated by modern technology will face an inevitable implosion.

There will always be clusters and enclaves of the orthodox. Amish and Quakers, if you will.

But when we're staring down the barrel of self driving cars that map our cities for us (even the crumbling cities no one wants to live in), privatized corporate rocket ships, quad-copter delivery services, instant/constant/global all-points communication in every language simultaneously, artificially intelligent voice-activated personal helthcare devices, killer robot jet aircraft miles overhead watching us all with baited breath for an air strike, cryptocurrencies few fully understand but many will hurriedly buy drugs with, high frequency autonomous trading no one understands and everyone fears, well gee... the humdrum arguments even from last year barely seem to make sense this year.

Trying to preserve any political inclinations amidst all this, let alone those biased towards standing still or moving backward, is like trying to swim against a tidal wave.

I don't think any political label will survive this kind of tide. Only attitudes and personalities persist in this kind of turbulence.
