severance is about marx's theory of alienation while funded by apple, a company that profits off human rights abuses in 🇨🇩 to get the materials that make their devices

I think about this ALL the time. It stops me from fully indulging because like…corporate companies putting out anti-corporate sentiments is strange. It’s like they’re placating the masses

Also, the white lotus is ostensibly critiquing classism/work culture in luxury hotels yet the four seasons hosted the premiere?

Tbf conservatives thought Squid Games was about communism. Conservatives always see what they want to see, not what is there.

Capitalism relies on having some form of rebellion. It allows it to reinvent itself.

I think it’s deeper than that. It’s the creatives that are creating these critiques, companies know audiences are hungry for these themes and sell it 2 us anyway, making a profit out of resistance

the irony that the people who were on me the most to watch severance, succession and industry are all sales and finance bros who are completely unaware it’s a critique of capitalism lmao

so truee, people can imagine the end of the world before they can imagine the end of capitalism, stories that exist beyond/leave no room for capitalism to exist are much more radical critiques

This reminds me of The Boys as well, Vought is a direct commentary on Amazon

Interpassivity is the word. And it’s not just content like Barbie. Anything that is consumed and generates profit within the system is never quite dismantling the system.

i do also think that severance season two veered far more into a dystopian cult vibe than the first season because they were a little on the nose with s1 and didn’t want people thinking too much lol

this is why media literacy is so important. who is creating this media, who is their intended audience, and what do they want me to feel?

same with star wars. the franchise is completely leftist/anti-capitalist/antifascist but it’s owned by disney and a lot of the fans vote trump

It’s Elon tweeting about the Hunger games for me thinking he’s the good guy… Also you’re right but I think once you discuss actual policies, a lot of people are more socialist than they claim.
