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 scary
They often bully actors who play hated characters, how crazy is that? They can't distinguish reality from fiction

1984 didn't happen either
so I guess we shouldn't compare it to real life

People who compare real life to 1984 are massive brainlets

Exactly. 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

Lmao, 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.
