By analyzing the film’s satirical depiction of Cold War politics and their absurdities, the chapter emphasizes the need to address the systemic roots of environmental challenges. Kubrick’s satire critiques resilience and adaptation, technofixes, militarism, conspiracy theories, heteropatriarchy, religion, the rise of fascism, and corporate influence in politics. Ironically, many of these issues persist today. The chapter argues that satire enables Kubrick to convey narratives that transcend their historical context, remaining relevant and resonant even decades after the film’s release.
