Looking for more good reasons to hate whitey? HBO's got you covered.

HBO’s Exterminate All the Brutes Is a Radical Masterpiece About White Supremacy, Violence and the History of the West

The very existence of this film is a miracle,” says its creator, Raoul Peck, in the final episode of Exterminate All the Brutes—and that might be an understatement. A four-part experimental documentary that takes on the unwieldy, bitterly contentious subject of white supremacy since the so-called Age of Discovery, Brutes is unorthodox in both content and style. Drawing heavily on the work of leftist academics, the series also incorporates scripted passages and animations that serve as guided meditations on human suffering more than as visual aids. It may well be the most politically radical and intellectually challenging work of nonfiction ever made for television.

...and so begins an attempt to exterminate the minority
white race ( 800 million ) encompassing the planet.

How would have the Mayans have treated a boat load of Spaniards
if they held power upon their arrival ? Just as the Egyptians fell to the
Romans and the Romans fell to the Barbarians; by Conquest !
I find it no surprise if White America were to fall as did the Mayans to
some unknown force other than a contrived racial inferiority / superiority
complex.

Sometimes you eat the bear.
Other times the bear eats you.

It all comes down to..

Conquer or be conquered.
Eat or be Eaten.
Assimilate or Disintegrate.

Visually, “Exterminate All the Brutes” is just as powerful... He uses every tool in the documentary handbook to make history leap off the page...

Quote:
One such device is the series’ use of Josh Hartnett, who appears in every episode as a white Everyman
whose role changes depending on the story Peck is retelling. Hartnett morphs from an U.S. Army sergeant who exterminates members of a Seminole tribe in 19th century Florida in one scene to a colonizer in the Belgian Congo, taking advantage of his power to enact cruelty. He is the forefather of Charlottesville protestors with tiki torches and of the police whose professional lineage can be traced to slave catchers and who benefits from criminalizing others. Basically, he’s anyone who’s benefitted from a few genetic differences and refuses to see his part in the larger scheme of imperialism, colonization and racial oppression.

Sounds like an effective technique. Give the audience a "white Everyman" to focus their hatred on, like Goldstein in Nineteen Eighty-Four.

"Exterminate all the brutes" is a line from the 1899 novel Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.

Quote:
...about a narrated voyage up the Congo River into the Congo Free State in the Heart of Africa.[1] Charles Marlow, the narrator, tells his story to friends aboard a boat anchored on the River Thames. This setting provides the frame for Marlow's story of his obsession with the successful ivory trader Kurtz. Conrad offers parallels between London ("the greatest town on earth") and Africa as places of darkness.[2]

Central to Conrad's work is the idea that there is little difference between "civilised people" and "savages." Heart of Darkness implicitly comments on imperialism and racism.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_of_Darkness

This miniseries, from what I can gather, is quite a bit darker than that book. It's an attempt by Haitian filmmaker, Raoul Peck, to indict white men for their crimes of the past 500 years, and do so in a way that generates as much hatred toward them as possible. Viewers should come away feeling woker than ever and ready to for another summer of street violence.

Quote:
It’s as if Peck’s taken the New York Times’ "1619 Project," which centers the story of Black people in the U.S. and the ramifications of slavery, and stretched it to a global scale—with largely a focus on western civilization like Europe and its colonies—and a lens that also includes the plight of indigenous people on different continents.
---
Part personal essay, part investigation, the docuseries “Exterminate All the Brutes” is a striking piece of nonfiction work that has the intellectual rigor of an advanced history course, and asks that viewers keep up with its many ideas and horrors over the course of its four hours. Raoul Peck picks and pulls at every connecting fiber throughout history, finding several lines through the ages of how hateful dogma begat public policy, systemic murder, and cultural genocide. If you finish “Exterminate All the Brutes” without re-examining the hundreds of hours spent in history classes, then you didn’t pay attention to Peck’s lesson.

HBO as well as other cable and streaming services like Netflix are just a Woke joke. All Far Left, SJW, PC, Marxist virtue signaling all the time. It's garbage. Dangerous garbage.
