Many Gen Z prob have subconscious hate for parents due to all their aborted bros and sisters
Then there’s the extra metaphysical humiliation of making Junior parrot your reasoning. “Oh it’s my moms body her choice,” he says with a metaphorical gun (mom’s conditional love) to his head.
Survivors’ guilt knowing he made it past assassin mom when his big bro didn’t bc mom wasn’t ready to settle down yet.
This is one reason I could see how fake covid and lockdown life was. I accept how cruel humans can actually be to their children. How they are currently rewarded for such cruelty on a micro and macro level.

It’s occult creation of alternate dimension(s) which our rulers will control. With our screens we already live in it most of the time but meta will bring us there full time. Elfland but gh3y.
The spider egg dream in Bladerunner is about this. We are replicants insomuch as our rulers program our dreams, memory, and aspirations with popular culture and fake news.
It’s matrix obviously ofc, though it’s such a tired metaphor I loathe to use it. The robots using human body heat etc to make batteries was metaphor for the post covid lovkdown world. No one interacting yet somehow the Metaverse economy (and social) continuing on as golem
A few years back I saw a zoomer review of “taxi driver” where the zoomer was shocked that Travis, who had a job, pretty big apartment (in nyc no less), and gf was considered a loser in the late 70s. A peak loser, even. The average young man in current year is much worse off. 1/
“Taxi driver” is what I call a “catcher in the rye” film. It continues the theme of “catcher” but fits it into its current year. Holden Caufield of “catcher” is even better off than Travis; being a rich kid in a boarding school. But with thr same issues (set to his era). 2/
“American psycho” is the next “catcher” film after taxi driver. Patrick Bateman is better off financially than Travis, reflecting the improved economy of Usa in the late 80s and early 90s. But his psychosis is worse. Shows how material wealth can carry the germ of mk insanity. 3/
Conservatives can’t say that homers shouldn’t be around k1ds so instead they dump on natural traditional fatherhood and hope Buttgag takes some of the rhetorical splash damage
The major films in the Alien series mirror the evolution (devolution?) of film, film culture and its audiences. 1/
“Alien” by Ridley Scott at its core is “2001 A Space Odyssey” with great practical gore effects but very few themes/tone Kubrick hadn’t already explored in his sci-fi opus. 2/
“Serious” sci-fi films in the 70s were expected to crib “”2001”: long shots, sterile white ship interiors, slow pace, emotionally distant actors, evil AI, evil gov/corp behind the scenes. Etc.
Ridley Scott’s brilliant film has them all. Like Kubrick’s. 3/
Your w*man can not give you permission to take a mistress. If you are weak and use her consent as an excuse to be a degenerate you will father a race of evil men.
This makes me lose respect for Gary as it sounds like Simpson’s comic book guy whining over the color of spirdermans costume in some film or something. Very weak.
