I will never forgive Reddit for both creating and ruining a succinct framing device for the criticism of media analysis. Yes, sometimes curtains are just blue, but now all criticism of poorly thought out or overcooked media analysis (especially the dogshit prescribed analysis thrown at kids along with school assigned reading) has this long shadow of internet reaction that's nearly impossible to escape.
It’s not just Reddit. It’s also tumblr and the generation of middle and high schoolers who used it. Also the fault of some English teachers for only teaching deliberate, explicit symbolism but not explaining the concept of zeitgeist and subconscious in relation to art.
#1 thing I think any newly minted socialist society will need will be media literacy classes for all. Instead of telling the students "the curtains are just blue" or "the curtains represent his deep inner sadness" the lesson will be "the curtains may or may not mean many things, depending on the context of the story, and here's how you can learn to analyse it yourself instead of regurgitating my opinion back at me."
Yeah conspirators would never find ironic humor in acknowledging their misdeeds, that's total bunk
Did fucking bush paint that?
lol no, u got me there
That's painted by the same artist that painted the famous picture owned by Epstein of Bill Clinton in the blue Lewinsky dress Petrina Ryan-Kleid.
Same borough not same block or neighbourhood lol
Theres like 2 million people in Brooklyn lol
There are so many people who think Brooklyn is some tiny enclave and not practically a large city of its own.
If New York had its boroughs separated into their own cities, at 2.5 million people Brooklyn would become the third largest city in the US after Los Angeles and Chicago.
In any normal timeline, this would just be funny. But since the bad guys won the cold war, I have to slog through millions of smug I-told-you-sos from normies.
The alligator statue is not in Brooklyn it's in Manhattan. 14th and 8th. .... wait 14 & 8 that's also sus.
The bourgeoisie have no problems flaunting their crimes, or they’re stupid or careless enough to let it hang loose on accident. But rarely do they have these elaborate “clues” and “reminders” because they’re too busy ruining the world.
Alligator looking like it's straight out of a 14th century illuminated manuscript
To be fair, the Wall Street Bull exists
I feel like that's so open in what it is about being idol worship it's not a conspiracy it's just stupid
The National Treasure teir "cabal clues hidden in plain site for mega smart conspiracy dweebs to unearth" narrative is my current favorite going into 2024.
I mean the Free Masons literally do this and they freely talk about doing it. If someone thinks they are the bad guys (cause of sex magick or because they founded the UN or whatever), it's kind of a given that the bad guys do this.
I bet the Freemasons encourage and propagate all the conspiracy theories about them to make themselves look much more mysterious and powerful than they really are. They may have had some influence in previous centuries but it's just old men LARPing at this point.
