There's no point engaging with someone so incapable of reading. The 'way out' referenced here is strengthening international law so that people are not made stateless through war and persecution, rather than disapplying it in order to deport people. Goodbye!

Have you read the article or even the attached headlines? Can you explain to me what makes you think I believe in accepting the advent of 'the age of deportation'? It should be quite obvious, on even the most cursory reading (or glancing) that I oppose it with self-evident passion?

This is a wonderful analysis by @tanjilrashid.bsky.social: "The Phoenician Scheme may at once be Anderson’s worst and most profound film, a beautifully textured engagement with the past, and an almost morally repugnant retreat from the present." Exactly!!! www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ju...
The Phoenician Scheme is fantasy. It is also a remarkable engagement with the real-life conflict in the Middle East
Sharp edges of bitter history keep jutting through Wes Anderson’s whimsical intrigues that turn international tragedy into light comedy

I actually think you're right! I don't imagine there'll be anything like a real return to a religious society, but this limited resurgence, in the form of small, faith-based subcultures somewhat antagonistic to the secular mainstream, still -- for me at least -- warranted some cultural analysis
