Allow me to just interject on the doom and gloom blackpilling here to point out that weimar germany had only just recently emerged from a tradition of authoritarian and ultra militaristicWell I'm going to give my honest opinion on 'Cuties' then.
Now what do I think of this film? I just see this as a sign for things to come anyway. In order to understand why we are here now then we must first start to understand history, so let's start with the Weimar Republic because I think this is a good way to start this post given the circumstances.
So after Germany lost World War 1, the country's economy was in complete shambles. Many of the German men that have served in the war have died and they left behind families that would now fend for themselves afterwards. Many of these women would turn to prostitution (including young girls) so as they were desperate for getting food and water on the table they sold their bodies for a fee every night to have money to buy the essentials then.
Now later on, Germany would then continue going down the toilet. Their currency (the German Mark) became next to worthless through hyperinflation, the whole country was very deep in debt, and things got more grim later on.
So with an economy in shambles and people feeling that they and their country has no future anymore, they've embraced hedonism then. Porn films and stag films started to be shown in movie theaters, gambling then became more widespread with casinos appearing everywhere, the grand parties that were filled with alcohol well as with hot women, LGBT brothels appeared more, many women decided to go lesbian, also homosexual men traveled to Germany to explore their own sexuality, grotesque art became popular, lots and lots of orgies, and even child pornography was also openly being sold and distributed throughout Germany at the time (especially in Berlin by the way).
Now mind you, many of these things I've listed were technically illegal in Germany at the time (as these were old Imperial laws from when Germany at the time was an empire to my knowledge). For example, pornography was still illegal in Germany at the time but many of Germany's old obscenity laws that remained in the law books were for the most part unenforced. (If you were a cop in the Weimar Republic where you hardly got paid, would you then even give a shit about even enforcing the law? I thought so).
So what did made Germany going to being a socially uptight country when it was the 'German Empire' to a socially liberal and hedonistic society when it then became the 'Weimar Republic' almost overnight later on? The economy of Germany was destroyed.
If you really want to destroy a society and also its values, destroy their economy and take away their future then. So when you live in a country where the chances of you of getting a job is low or you lost your job recently, your money becomes worthless though hyperinflation, and when the country that you live in is in deep debt then you may as well party it up, have sex with random strangers regardless of age or gender, and you drink and drink that you pass out just to forget that you and your country has no future anymore. This is what many Germans felt at the time then.
So lets fast forward to the present day now. As of now, the world in going through a pandemic, unemployment is now rising, businesses are now failing. the riots and civil unrest around the world don't seem to be stopping anytime soon and they keep escalating, and everything is going up in flames now.
The thing that will be the mortal blow to the world as we know it is when the second wave of Covid-19 finally hits the world and that is what will plunge the whole world into a very deep economic depression. The second wave of this pandemic is inevitable. Countries will then have no choice but to go into lockdowns and close their borders to keep the virus from spreading any further again, which will result in more people losing their jobs, which will also result in more riots and civil unrest as people become disillusioned with the current system now. Don't forget the stimulus packages because when the money printing machine keeps going 'Brrr' then expect your own respective currencies to become even more worthless then.
So when the world economy that we know it finally crashes and burns, the things from the Weimar Republic will follow very soon.
This is what I'm sure will happen in the very near future, it won't just happen to developed countries but even in the second and third world as well.
So the way I see it, we will soon see the return of the culture of from the Weimar Republic but now this time it will be applied on a world wide scale and the things you see now will get worse before they get any better. So don't expect things to get any better soon.
Also, don't expect that a movie such as 'Cuties' will be the last because as things get worse, people will look for things to keep themselves distracted from the world going up in flames anyway. Now you might say, 'That's wrong, people won't embrace debauchery and abandon their morals and such.' Well that's where you're wrong, everyone is a moral person until everything that is around them then collapses later on. Sorry if I'm black pilling people but this is how I see the way things are going to go then.
So sorry about depressing you but I think this needs to be said anyway.
pseduo-literal dictatorships and had a political elite that by and large was either advocating to a return to this order or was happy to enable a return to this order should they personally profit, not to mention multiple attempted communist revolutions in its early years to increase public hostility to "revolutionary chaos" a thousandfold, and thus the tradition and mass acceptance of liberal democracy was horribly fragile at the best of times compared burgerland at the worst of times.
Fashionable as it is to use weimar germany as a case study of currentyear, the factors involved just dont match up even remotely once you look at the politics involved. A better comparison would be the late 60s to late 70s due to the economic and social turmoil of that era in america and the tryhard progressive shit being thrown around by assorted shitbags, and the result being a hard swerve to conservative politics in the following decade along with all the shit that entailed.
