All the books and movies about bad stuff all in one! Not really sure where The Matrix fits there…like, is the heritage foundation gonna turn us into computer programs?

Love how the libs discovered Project 2025 approximately 4 months ago and are suddenly up in arms like “Evangelicals gaining power and trying to force Christofascism on the masses!!! THIS IS THE FIRST WE ARE HEARING OF THIS!!!”

There’s something really amusing about all of these being works of fiction.

finally, someone who sees through the bullshit lie known as “Brazil”

EDIT: okay so apparently Brazil is a movie as well as a country. I just assumed whoever made this was dunking on the entire nation of Brazil

They should have made Thor and The Hulk their own buddy duo after Ragnarok (one of rhe few not guardians marvel slops I’ve seen) and just went around space and sometimes earth bashing the hell out of shitty people.

‘Hey The Incredible Hulk, there’s no Asgard and clearly outer space is bullshit. I’ve got a hammer that smashes good…’

“HULK SMASH!”

“Exactly, so let’s just smash stuff we don’t like seeing not smashed. We can call ourselves the Super Smash Brothers!”

So much of this makes no sense. How the fuck is lord of the flies a cross section between 1984, animal farm and faremheight 451, which also makes it Logan’s run if you add Animal Farm to Logans Run? I’ve read/seen all of these and there isn’t any commonality here

I’m more stumped by Handmaid’s Tale + Brave New World = Brazil

Throw in some Fahrenheit 451 and you get the Matrix.

My Thesis on Literature that I live by is that you can bend anything to any interpretation but the further your take strays from authorial intent the more you need to justify that take and this can be taken to absurd extremes if you are really good at bullshitting. This venn diagram proved me wrong

Brazil has far more in common with The Trial than it does with either of those two movies.

lord of the flies was about a one-party state with mass surveillance and omnipresent propaganda, where all books were burned, and it’s theocratical and any women that can bear children are forced to do so. that’s what happened in the book about boys on an island

if you take thebasic premise of Lord of the flies, but replace Big brother and surveillance with genetic caste society and consumerist hedonism, you get The Matrix

I source most of the weird shit I find from Facebook, it’s genuinely the best website for finding just the worst stuff posted with no irony or self awareness.
