The conquest and conversion of conservatism
by Guest Contributor • September 10, 2019 Guest Contributor: Eric Buss, Writer for Pissed Off Conservative In addition to my passion for political oversight, it may be no surprise that I am also something of a cinefile. While the film Chronicles of Riddick gave us such a memorable line as “It’s been a long time since I smelled beautiful,†delivered by none other than the amped up action hero Vin Diesel, it also provided a scene analogous to the impact Donald Trump has had on the Republican Party.
A race of beings known as necromongers led by their godlike Lord Marshal, decimate the planet Helion Prime in one night. The inhabitants of the planet are portrayed as a peaceful and religiously pious people, hence the inability to form a meaningful resistance. In the aftermath, Lord Marshal demands that they convert to the necromonger religion and submit to his will.
At this point, the quasi-evangelist known as the Purifier sermonizes them to adopt the necromonger way. Murmurs of dissent erupt, and one steps forward from among the attendees to challenge Lord Marshal’s proposal. In a demonstration of his supernatural powers, the half-dead emperor quickly rips the soul from the man’s body as he drops dead to the floor with an expression of awe on his face. And as we pan the room, the gathering of people begin to kneel one by one in the face of such overwhelming dominance.
That concludes this excursion into Hollywood’s brief blockbuster.
