understanding resistance in fiction but not in reality
A commentary on the disconnect between understanding anti-authoritarian themes in popular fiction (The Hunger Games, Star Wars, The Matrix, Divergent, V for Vendetta) while failing to recognize or resist similar dynamics in one's actual society.
You watched "The Hunger Games" and sided with the resistance. You watched "Star Wars" and sided with the resistance. You watched "The Matrix" and sided with the resistance. You watched "Divergent" and sided with the resistance. You watched "V for Vendetta" and sided with the resistance. When it's fiction you understand. Yet you refuse to see it when it's the reality you're living in. Wild.
