  • It’s postmodern meta capitalism. Specifically the stage after late stage where it’s so absurd it’s almost be funny if it weren’t going to kill us all. It’s like standing in front of a firing line, and the shooters are all holding squirt guns except one clown who’s holding a real gun



  • Sounds like what they’re saying. Basically, if tomorrow like 80-90% of ppl got implants, but same number of shootings and attacks happened as happen now, im sure there would be plenty of people calling it something very similar. And still blaming everything by the societal ills that led us here. “It’s guns, it’s mental health, it’s bullying, it’s blah, it’s blah.”

    Everything but the overarching truth that we are extremely disenfranchised and beaten down and made insignificant in a system that literally runs on us for the good of the system.

    The absolute back asswards orientation. We are the most advanced society ever known, but we serve capital and the idea of the capitalist system. We sacrifice ourselves for it, our bodies, our families, our time, our passions and dreams. To serve capitalism.

    It’s the absurdity of the truth. This is an absurd existence. Why not act absurdly? It’s malaise or it’s psychosis. Most of us just err on the side of malaise.

    Well, I know this is a somewhat hot take, but the 2013 Evil Dead reimagining is really good. Suuuuper violent, but all done with practical effects. Really cool. And they did this whole “evil item” thing really well. I think it’s done better than any other movie I’ve seen with the trope. The whole time, one of the characters is being just beaten to shit but they’re clinging to life with everything they have because they’re so scared of what awaits them in hell.

    That movie stuck with me for a few reasons, but the effect they managed to get with the whole sense of doom for these characters was so well done. Accomplished with a few choice lines and scenes that are just brutal and, well, evil.

    If you can handle the gore, I recommend it





  • Well hey. When you have corporate money flowing into your pockets, it’s easy to change your mind (if you’re a disgusting vile piece of human trash). My curiosity lies in his newfound enablers (Elon, Zucker-borg) having spent insane amounts of money lobbying for the ban.

    It would be funny if not nice to see those relationships fall apart because their affection was outbid by a larger dollar amount of affection.

    Eh. Then you’re bringing in the whole “discuss your differences with a nazi” thing. And that’s never good ground to be on. If their brain is already broke, one more punch to the head ain’t gonna make much of a difference.

    But seriously. Nazis are nazis. And it’s clear these guys were having a discussion. I trust this good Samaritan’s judgement in dispatching the Insecticide.
