***SPOILER ALERT*** PC Liberals love this movie and only can see the environmentalist/oppressed minority side of it, while most white nationalists/racialists dislike it because it makes white people the bad guys. Look a little deeper... Racially pure, physically superior beings called Na'vi defend their homeland from rootless, greedy, multicultural invaders lead by white sell outs to industrial capitalism who represent a 22nd century amalgam of Halliburton and Blackwater. ...
I have always been aware of this contempt for civilization. I actually loathe the majority of the aspects of modern life in a civilized country.

Sad to say, some people don't know what they don't know. Be thankful if you aren't related to anybody like that.) I find myself surrounded by morons.
