Fascism
Lives On...
Pop-culture has the
ability to suppress possibility. As to exclaim certain points of
interest that one thinks is irrelevant, but is sorely possible,
important and sometimes dangerous. For example: A popular video game
franchise set in a world of Nazi Germany bringing about its influence
and standpoint onto the USA. Basically occupying it, and living in
it. This, in our opinion, is the imaginary standpoint, and equally
irrelevant, but somewhat interesting, view of a possible outcome of
our future. Yet, who are we to think this is only possible in video
games? As in, just because a video game portrays the USA as occupied
by German Nazis, doesn't mean that its influence is not real or
possible. I think we live in a Nazi occupied regime of some sorts.
Where our leaders coerce and enforce obedience under the guise of
freedom. That we have to work and suffer, due to our own
inadequacies, in a realm not of our choosing, and if we don't, since
we lack the required imagination, we fail miserably, and stay open to
criticism and open alienation from ignorant fools trapped in the same
maze or rat race. Our freedom comes at a price, but it is much lower
than our permanent enslavement, and enrollment to society, the
rubbish dump and nuclear waste disposal.
