fnln dont be a dumbass

i mostly wanted to check against a bunch of liberals to see if people only tapped into western media/ideology could coherently dispute what im noticing to make sure i wasn't building a narrative from the other side of whats visible

i knew i wouldn't convince people right away western propagandas so embedded in people youre guaranteed to sound insane at first no matter what bc its in reference to the truth they all already agreed to 'know'

its all the opposite of what americans are taught to see at the ideological level in everything for multiple generations now, their brains can't immediately storyboard the details i was giving
but westernized lib-fascist-tendency brain builds everything into a personalized comicbook and respects who it thinks will win or is strongest or familiar when its starting to look more like antz that will slot right in for some of them who'd freak out otherwise, theyll know what's going to happen, americans hate a loser, which hopefully makes them less likely to materially aid nazis again, because the ending has already been spoiled and goodguys dont lose

im being totally literal when i say i think the abstraction created from heirarchy, phones and constantly performing monetary conversions for everything that american ideology requires causes a disassociated state by itself, i just don't think people notice it because it is familiar
like its a state of disassociation when your brain is thinking "phone with video playing on the screen" and not "glass rectangle that lights up with a plastic shell", "paragraph of text" vs the individual letters made of individual strokes/pixels this is why they seem insane and think we are all insane their mental filters are inverted from reality and throw out everything real

Hey, I think your vibes are right but they're not wrong that you write like you're having a mental break. They would still call you schizophrenic if you were presenting your ideas in a coherent manner but also you're currently expressing them in hard to parse run on sentences and presenting them as novel and unique observations when lots of people have written about and have thoughts on the idea that as the world has become more complicated we've done more and more to retreat into fantasy worlds that give us a sense that we control and understand it all. It's also not a uniquely American or Western phenomenon.

Uh so yeah, good vibes but read some books you can reference and refine those ideas into something you can express in a way that isn't run on disjointed sentences
