Prophetic, especially considering it came out in the 60s. Probably my favorite Twilight Zone episode.

If you haven't seen it, you'll be surprised how accurate it is to today.

I think I've actually had one or two posts over the years with that very episode in mind

Burgess Meredith is in a few Twilight zones. One of the best is when he is a survivor of a nuclear Holocaust. I forgot the title of that one

I think it's called "Time Enough at Last"

And yeah, Burgess is probably my favorite Twilight Zone actor. Great as the Penquin too of course.

I completely forgot about that. Batman was the last thing I was allowed to watch before I had to go to bed

If he was the exact same as he was in the 60s, he'd probably be fairly conservative since what I gather from the way Twilight Zone was written, he believed in universal morality. Not this blaming and always looking through this marxist oppressed vs oppressor lens. But through the lens that every person is accountable for their own actions and that justice doesn't discriminate.

That being said, for his time period, he was a bit of a lefty, so if he grew up in this time period, there's no such thing anymore as being a bit of a lefty....It's a zero sum game and it seems that anyone a little sympathetic to that side accelerates towards wokeness at mach 10 speeds, so it's tough to say.
