[CAF Note: Please note that Yellowstone involves numerous violent scenes.]
Solari Report Movie of the Year for 2019–the riveting TV series Yellowstone, created and written by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson with excellent acting by lead Kevin Costner. The second season aired in 2019, offering remarkable insights regarding the nature of American land and resource wars and the “real deal” on going local–Deep State Tactics included. The global “land rush” is on–and the more central banks print money and the higher the stock market goes (let alone the lower the energy price goes and the larger the population grows), the more violent the land rush gets.

Growing up on a working cattle ranch, near a reservation in South Dakota, I hesitated to watch this show. Now I know why.
This schlock is the demonization of agrarian culture. This is the imposition of gangster culture on the country.
This is LARPING for ignorant cosmopolitan urbanites. None of this is authentic. How infuriating.
I guess I live in a different country. I have lived in an agriculture community in Tennessee since 2000 with a year in Montana. While Yellowstone is certainly hyped up for entertainment purposes, it does a brilliant job of describing some of the covert side, of laying out the pressures to control land and describing the problem of the Beck Brothers. I did not see it as a demonization of the agrarian culture. Rather what it is like for agrarian culture to deal with the encroachment of gangster money and culture moving in with cheap central bank money. In that way it described exactly what I found in Tennessee, in Montana and in rural communities across the country. That said, sorry to give you a bum steer.
We watch 2 episodes of these foul mouth murderers. We do not need this type of nightmare behavior ruining our sleep.
Yes, it is violent. But so is life in America. If you watched through to the end – which you clearly should not do – you will find a great deal of insight about the fight over land and resources in America. There is great insight in this series. I have put a violence warning on the write up – my apologies for not doing it before.
