The one scene that really stuck with me from Tron: Legacy is the bit where Quorra's unconscious and Flynn digs into her source code and is waxing on and on about what incredibly complex machinery it all is, and something about the way he describes it just gave me the creeps. Like, there's this disconnect where for him he's just looking at a fascinating art object vs. the conceit of the movie is that Quorra is actually a living, thinking person.

Oh yeah, he was a total extreme personality case. I mean, his lil group of vegan punks in high school were called ghe Vegan Death Squad (which was kinda dope).

Then he got into Alex Jones, reptilian shape-shifters, and 4chan and welp, now he's the #1 neo-nazi in the country.

I had a friend who was a hard left anarchist. He was there at every rally and protest and always up for a bit of sabotage. Really nice and chill guy, possibly a bit too chill at times but really good hearted. Then he started experimenting with hallucinogens and got really heavily into shrooms. He got increasingly unstable and no one heard from him in a while until he started posting Neo-Nazi videos and rants on social media. Which is extra weird because his mom is an immigrant and he'd been really active in movements helping immigrants. Whenever we did meet him he was really antagonistic to everyone and obviously not quite right. Around that same time he became a Mormon.

I've always raised an eyebrow at cultural appropriation, although it's never really been my place to attack it.

I will say, to me it should be about things like wearing Mexican sombreros and parkas on Halloween. Cause when you make it about white people doing rap or, say, taking a traditional revolutionary symbol that through modern history became associated with the American Black Power movement, then you're really just falling into the same discriminatory "keep the races separate" ideology as the goddamn Richard Spencers of the world. Except, ironically, in the name of equality.

Extreme personalities is a good indicator for this sort of thing. How many of Alex Jones' pet conspiracy theories are things equally believed on the left, for example?

Chemtrails, 9/11 was an inside job. It's not as big a leap as it seems from GMOs are killing you to immigrants are killing you if the indoctrination is done properly.
