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.

    for a fascist, reality doesn’t shape their truth, it’s their “truth” that shapes reality. people are not becoming more obtuse, the fascist are willingly misinterpreting media because to not do so is seen as weak. if a piece of media passes the vibe check, then everything in it must confirm their worldview. do not engage them just call them stupid and shame them for their stupid views. these people will not learn because they are not willing to learn, the only thing that will distance them from being a dumbass is by shaming them.
