Defeating this hive mind seems incredibly easy. Just get one alone, and scream at it. Keep screaming at it for 3 days, and the whole lot of them will be dead from dehydration. The other 11 might try to stop you, but there is no way they can even reach you without their help.
The Hivemind is already killing itself.
 
And yet the main character, an American who embodies ideals rejected by nearly all of the countries that have un-hive minded people, is the hero of the story whom is trying to reverse everything.
That does not undo the propaganda effects of showing selfless people working happily and efficiently for the greater good, vs the angry self destructive drunk individual, who produces nothing of worth.

She wants to free the people enslaved by the communist hivemind, not kill them all.
I know, but that is not the point. At any moment, any of the 12 could decide to do it, and there is nothing the other 11 could do about it.

At some point they will realize this, and try to kill each other. That is probably what the nuke is for - insurance against the other 10.
 
I don't think it's a literal nuke I think it's some sort of radio or broadcasting equipment but we'll see
 
This show is basically soft propaganda for communism. Showing how smoothly things would work if we would just become selfless drones who work for the good of our comrades.
Interesting, because I drew a completely different conclusion. I saw the Hive portrayed as soulless. Proritizing efficiency for an arbitrary goal over valueing indivduality. I did not get the vibe that the Hive was portrayed as "the right way to live".

To me, the Hive is a commentary on society itself. Whether that society is Stalinist communist, or cocaine capitalist, a society stops being worth living in the second it begins valueing some pointless goal over the individuality for those living in it.

I wanted to drop it for being woke, but it hid the woke lesbian stuff for just long enough to get me interested I guess

I don't really care that Carol is a carpet muncher tbh. A show having a gay character doesn't necessarily make it "woke". She's a pretty realistic portrayal of a Santa Fe upper class lesbian— warts and all. Pretentious, alcoholic, self absorbed. She distracts herself with the blandest art she can find, because she wants to identify as someone of class.

My bet is that they'll probably reveal she had some sexual trama early in her life in the later seasons. Maybe after the hive turns on her and tries to manipulate her against blowing up their antenna.

Carol is a very realistic character. A woke show wouldn't have portrayed her as realistically.

Prediction for show over all - Carol will save the world by writing a book

This makes me question if you were even paying attention while watching. Her books sucked. The hive outright told her that even her wife thought her books where nothing special.

The show is definitely not perfect. There are some pretty big plot holes as it currently stands. Forget someone intentionally freezing the hive... When they were originally taking over, not one person yelled at a spouse? A co worker? Screamed at someone in traffic? I feel like it would be very obvious something was wrong the second a Billion people had a siezure.
 
The nuke is contingency in case Carol gets plurb'd. Manousos will be instructed to deploy it if she gets infected
They wouldn't care if she sets off a nuke. Only the other 12 would care.

You're not paying attention.

Take for instance the scene with the communal sleeping, where they work together to tenderly lower an old woman on to the ground, showing great care for the elderly; one of the most neglected groups in an individualistic world.

It's propaganda.

To me, the Hive is a commentary on society itself. Whether that society is Stalinist communist, or cocaine capitalist, a society stops being worth living in the second it begins valueing some pointless goal over the individuality for those living in it.
You are thinking about the meaning or the story, rather than the psychological effect of watching.

I will explain if I can.

Take for instance this sentence - "Don't panic."

What is the purpose of this sentence? What is the effect of hearing it?

The effect of the words is different than the meaning of the sentence.

Yes it does.

They already revealed that she had trauma from gay conversion camp.

They didn't suck. They were just average. But that is irrelevant, as I never said her writing was good.

Writing is the antithesis of what "they" are. It is an entirely internal and isolated creative endeavor. Also, fiction writing is inherently a lie, something they can't do. It is symbolic. That is why the story will likely hinge on something written by Carol.

How did you think a wine mom writer was going to save the world? Writing.

You are stupid. The point is that it is propaganda because they are doing anything they can to convince the remaining humans to join the party. The moment the individual humans leave the room, all pretense of humanity disappears. There's also the fact that communism is unsustainable, evidenced by the fact that they have to drink liquefied corpses to avoid starvation. They present the idea of perfection in the hive, but they can't hide or lie about their reality. They are genetically coded to drive their hosts to extinction. It could not be more obvious that this is a bad thing, no matter how good they try to make it look on the surface.

Simply the aspect of refusing to hunt and kill animals or even plucking an apple off the tree shows that the hivemind will eventually destroy itself. Extending the "all life must not be harmed" to literal vegetables and bacteria means that this is not a human hivemind but a bacterial one. An "all life" hivemind is vastly different from one that sticks to a single species or priorities intelligent life.

If it's anything like the hivemind from C. Gockel's Archangel Project series, then the hivemind has the only goal of infecting others, and if it is unable to extend the reach of it's infection then it devolves into a ocean-wide organic soup to minimize energy use. If it eventually build a huge transmitter array it will prioritise life that's the bare minimum intelligence needed to operate the transmitters, such as monkeys or indians.

So the question is, would you be happy to see your culture and family destroyed and everything you know being replaced by stupid and inferior beings using stolen knowledge?

How the fuck does it even make sense "morally"? Why is killing animals for food bad if the body routinely kills its component, and after death there's still a lot of life in forms of fungus, parasites and cells eating themselves to the brim?
 
it's about family, and that's what so powerful about it.

No white male characters? Not even one? The creator, directors, writers, composer, and cinematographer of this show where all white men, yet, somehow, collectively, they have decided to just wipe themselves out from existence in the story. Very ironic given the themes of the show.

Ironic indeed.
 
Accidentally I have learned about the existence of this show. Not impressed, will never watch it. Just want to leave this here:

What a fucking retarded excuse. Either the man is so ironically misandristic, or is just a plain-out idiot.

Thank God I never watched Breaking Bad past season 1. I will never touch what this faggot or anyone from the team who made the current tumblr show is involved in. The whole actor cast looks so ugly, boring and off-putting, why is it such a requirement for all the shows nowadays alongside the faggot angle?

Special applause go to the kiwicucks slurping and smacking this shit like the delicious dessert. You are the part of the problem, so please never, ever even open your mouths about "wokeism" or how da sjws ruin everything. You are already the part of the hive mind and I hope you all unironically die out in the next few years. Thanks!
