Like a story can literally beat someone over the head with a theme or moral and people somehow come to the opposite conclusion?
It’s like “Tyler Durden is so manly and cool” except every bit of media feels like it’s misinterpreted like that now.

It feels as if the deluge of bullshit we’re subjected to has filled our orifices so much that as a society, we can’t tell what’s what anymore.
During the 2024 US election cycle, the “left” (fucking Christ, that hurts to type) candidate had literally the same campaign platform that the candidate on the right (of the other candidate) had, and the difference they decided to capitalize on was that she’d do it better than he would. No difference in outcome, she just said he’d fuck it up somehow, and she was more capable.
Now I have relatives that think they’re different for wanting her to run in 2028, and the only response I can think of is “Why, so you can watch her lose again?”
It’s like they ignore every word that comes out of her mouth and then wonder why things never get better. I’m an asshole for voting for “throwing my vote away” on a socialist, because voting is what matters so goddamn much.
