>>576537the tbibg is, people internaise the dystopian messaging and think the horros that they see in the movies are exactly how the future is gonna play out.
Alot of the people use sci fi as a moral crutch to curse the Internet for evrythin wrong with society despite alot of sad things hapoening long before the Internet.
>>576628the difference is that the future represents an "end of history" scenario which traps us in a sort of timelessness. in 1984 winston screams out that big brother cannot last forever - this is also what makes sci-fi exceedingly contemporary to me, since it is itself an analog for the present, which must be narrated as part of its reified structure.
sci-fi and horror also go together as genres for thematic reasons; in being discourses of modernity, which unleashes monsters upon us.
>>576634Again, go on YpuTube and theres fsr too many overeager philosoohical essay videos about 1984 or the Matrix and the comment section is insufferable.
"OMG we live in 1984"
"The Matrix was predicting (insert current tech here)"
Alot of the people who internaise said sci fi as gospel are often consoomers who are butthurt that their cultural prime is over.
They assume the new generations are the enemy.
>>576646the point though is that the criticism is lost on the generation which internalises its vehicle
the matrix is clearly about the 90s, not the future of the matrix world
1984 is about 1948, not 40 years in the future
blade runner is about the 80s, not the 21st century
and so on
the bad thinking comes when people miss the transparency of the critique
>>576649Again, people politicise pop cultural franchises to cope with getting older.
In fact, I garauntee that politics is general especially in the postmodern era seems to be about coping with growing up.
And people are bevoming more self-absorbed about their cultural era
>>576702"the adults are back in the room" springs to mind
prolonged adolescence and so on
>>576725Imo anyone saying "adult in the room" or "adults are talkimg" as sincere metaphor are ironically the most prone to absurdity.
Also, politics is just idle ruch dudes shooting the shit about the quirks of everyday people.
What is CNN and Fox but talking about data sets concerning gender, age, ethnicity doing whatever?
Like I coild make a YouTube channel discussing statistical graphs I made up about peoples consumer preferences.
>>576731the active desire to be your parents is indeed absurd
same way teachers usually have weird neuroses also
>>579200There is some decent analog horror, but this video is clearly for children. Although I agree the vast majority of it is pure slop.
Listened to Vita Carnis recently, got a good laugh out of that.
>>579356Only non-essential things
But when it comes to critical things, they just drop the ball .
And then they cry about how "growing up sucks".
Most complaints about adulthood are often idle, mediocre post-pubescent mouth-breathers who are plagued by unfulfilled teenage adventures.
>>579351That shit sounds and looks awful
Like the Christian Batman parody Bible Man.
>>570558>>570937>>570939>>570940>>574097>>574097I find it weird how many views some of the more rightoid videos have. In the grand scheme of things, 2.5 million (around the most views any of those videos got) people isn't *that* big of a number, accounting for less than 1% of the US population, but it's still noteworthy.
>>571055>>574099Porn addiction isn't real you're just weak willed faggots.
>>580818Porn addiction is real, but it's over hyped.
Like way too much.
>>580929Why Limonov sucked uyghur cock?
I just want to get this straight.
>>580826>Porn addiction is real, but it's over hyped.Also, much like alcoholism it's very relative and few people agree on what constitutes addiction. If a person masturbates to porn 4 times a week is that porn addiction? Some would say yes. Some would say no.
If a person has 4 drinks a week are they an alcoholic? Some would say yes. Some would say no.
>>583134Alcohol addiction is more real.
Where I live, most people have four packs of booze a week.
They could be broke and when they get a bit if money theyre gonna waste it on booze.
>>584627i saw this in the ookraine thread it's even funnier the second time.
almost makes me wanna see how is the US gonna deal with the nukes stationed in easternrussia
