Can capitalism create an 'invisible' modern turbulence-inferno (reminiscent of the work of Dante)?
Anyone a fan of the film The 6th Day?

American cheerleaders are diplomats of media-marketing and the sellability of glamour and pizzazz. Cheerleaders for NFL teams are symbolic of great television-entertainment especially during the Super Bowl and Super Bowl Halftime presentations. Capitalism is after all about merchandising, couture, and self-presentation. The Bible states that at the End of Days, the mysterious and corrupt Harlot of Babylon will rise to social prominence and throw off kings from their thrones with her control over an enigmatic 'beast' of self-doubt and lust. How should we therefore think about culture-representative films like Miss Congeniality in this age of media-explosion?
Americans love horror-films and comic books, and outlandish characters and stories reflect a special social fascination with pluralism intrigue, adventure folklore, exploration deification, and magnificent celebrity idol worship. During the counter-culture movement in the 1960s, Eastern philosophies such as Hinduism gained a cult-following in America, and new age horror-films such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre symbolize an 'American curiosity' about pure anarchy. So how should we think about 'apocrypha censorship' on the Internet?
Americans love NASCAR and all kinds of antique sales on accessible media and on Sotheby's. The Japanese anime Speed Racer gained a following in America, and soon, a film-adaptation was made in America starring John Goodman and Susan Sarandon (two iconic American movie-stars!). Speed Racer is a definitive modernism symbol of social coordination intrigue and how civilization developments in commerce (Wall Street) and networking (European Union, NATO, Facebook, etc., etc., etc.) reflect a new age fascination with high-speed production. So who is the referee for temperance and moderation? Beware the AntiChrist...
Americans love the unusual comic book superhero Batman (DC Comics), aka the 'Dark Knight,' a brooding masked urban vigilante who tackles the criminally-insane(!) in a fictional place called Gotham. Batman stories have been adapted into a whopping 7(!) big-budget high-profile American films --- Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises. With so much Batman-media, you have to wonder if criminal insanity is some kind of modernism 'networking hallmark' of American culture/society meditation. If criminal insanity fears reflect a modern paranoia regarding a potential 'capitalism-schizophrenia,' are Americans naturally 'cynical' about consumerism (e.g., eBay, Burger King, American Airlines, Planet Hollywood, Toys 'R Us, etc.)? So where is God?
Americans are worried about anti-civilization terrorism during the Winter Olympics in South Korea [2018], since North Korean nuclear-missile test controversy during Labor Day weekend [2017] (President Trump's first real political 'test') stamped into the minds of people around the world that modern-era commerce and traffic raises natural panic about betrayal. Who might be the AntiChrist?
