Even my stupid teenage ass realized this movie series is a xenophobic copaganda. How is it that there are 40-year-olds out there who Stan this film?

I used to think MiB was a fun movie until I learned what the USAF did to Paul Benowitz.

He was an amateur radio operator who picked up some encrypted signals from a nearby air force base.

Rather than admit they were just encrypted transmissions the USAF created a program that convinced this man that aliens were real and he was being pursued by the government, including sending Men in Black to harass him and hiring a woman to believe everything he said.

He died in a mental hospital, estranged from his family and suffering from paranoid delusions.

Yeah, I can’t even enjoy The X Files anymore after learning about this. The evil conspiracy is real but it has nothing to do with aliens
