Interesting catch with the "DrenChrom"...Although I've seen the film multiple times, I had not noticed. Very relevant and another Kubrick early "exposure".
Solid analysis, Paul. The predictive programming re: the perversion of humanity is manifest across so many platforms today as mandated tolerance for trans-bullshit, CRT, social cancellation, groupthink, etc.
Dark forces beyond the ken of humanity walk among society, and specifically now among anons, sowing discord and division. Discernment, above all else, is my objective. I pray for discernment for normies and especially for anons. Anons are now in the eye of Sauron. God bless you for all your efforts...you're doing an amazing job.
51 years ago—or half a century. I was in high school and psychedelics were plentiful for those interested. But the disconnect to this movie was the direct association with psychotropics with violence, versus just a few years earlier the summer of love and Woodstock (arguably fueled to the teeth, with the softer side of psychedelics). I remember what a dichotomy the notion was of "ultra-violence" in this movie. Having been a practitioner of the softer side of Sears, this hardware made no sense. I mean we heard of whack jobs on STP or PCP doing violence, but they were really just considered speed freaks and crazy enough to sniff glue or any manner of insane ingestion.
All of your points are completely valid and I agree that Kubrick was all over the map in his career of storytelling. Sort of enjoyed 2001 the best, but the full (metal) repertoire of his works is quite amazing, even if I don't quite grok it all!
Perhaps one of the most dystopian things I can think of as I approach 70, is that psychedelics were relegated by the govt. as bad—when if watered down and distributed worldwide like the magical VX, I suspect we would have a much more awakened world. But that's just me.

Very dark.
