Americans live in a semifictional world were gesturing (they believe themselves to be spiderman, harry Potter, etcetera) and ritual imitation of fiction determines the inherent meaning of reality (and not the other way around like in the rest of the world), hence at times they make these reflections about fictional events as if they really happened and are of significance to the point of determining their real life beliefs around them.There's no omniman. There's no "chicago massacre". These are events that cannot even happen. There are no extraterrestrials slaughtering people by shoving their indestructible sons in front of trains to prove a point. This is not a moral dilemma, nor is it something worth reflecting about.
It's true and it's scaryThey often bully actors who play hated characters, how crazy is that? They can't distinguish reality from fiction

>>2207867341984 didn't happen eitherso I guess we shouldn't compare it to real life
>>220786898that was 42 years ago, the fuck you mean
>>220786898People who compare real life to 1984 are massive brainlets
>>220786898Yes, and it is unironically tard fiction where the most absurdly evil system exists for the fuck of it with no real goal or ideology
>>220786734i never watched that show but some shows can have allegories and maybe this is the case hereunless of course you think starship troopers is about fighting bugs then you won't get this
>>220786898read another book
>>220786734Nothing wrong with getting immersed in fiction sometimes
>>220786934Exactly. Jingoism, pointless wars, those exist in real life. But needing to see it on an emotional scene with sad music to understand that getting drafted to die for Israel in fuck knows where is kinda pathetic
>>220786940gotcha, Animal Farm it iswe already know *that's* got nothing to do with real life!
>>220786734I've noticed this too
>>220786994well the point of stuff like that is to entice people who would never watch a political commentary otherwiseit's a trick
>>220786734r/superseriousfamilyguy
>>220786934Its not really about anything deep, mostly just muscle men beating each other up (sometimes in space)
>>220786921but it does have a goal and ideology, did you not read it?
>>220786734Lmao, this is way better.This website posts gore and violent death because the users become so terminally online that they grow apathy and are entertained by death since it's from their screens. A first-world society requires people to feel disgust and shock toward violence; that's why soldiers in Victorian Britain are seen as low-life scums.
