It saddens me that the populace has become stupid enough that they couldn't understand the whole point of the movie was that Arthur Fleck became the Joker as an inevitable result of an evil, uncaring and apathetic society. Because that would mean acknowledging yourself to be responsible for such evil, and that's a no-no for victim culture narcissists.
Too often have I come across a person who watched the movie who summed it up as "be nice or school shooters will kill you." Like, fuck you, you moron.
we remind ourselves that shit, but it's easy to get caught up. Some of my friends are "conservatives" but they are super susceptible to the idiot box narrative bc they don't pay enough attention to know when something is a lie. They aren't "political."
They were calling proud boys white supremacists once, all in agreement ( I try to not insert my opinion unless something irks me this badly) and I just said, "What the fuck are you all talking about? How are they white supremacist or a hate group? Have you seen their leader, their message? Or are you just repeating some bullshit? What did they do?"
And nobody, out of all 5 of them w strong opinions one second before could come up with any answer.
My friends are mostly normies, to not engage with them is to not have friends and not even engage in spreading the message at all. This is by design imo.
Unless you are political, you can still be even right leaning or conservative or Trump supporting and spout absolute shit and have terrible opinions on subjects and understandings of our freedoms and basically be marching towards our country's undoing. The only thing they have going for them is they like guns.
They are younger, like 25, I don't even think they actually believe in absolute freedom of speech.
Sometimes you gotta get shit on your shoes, everything isn't black and white, little turd nuggets of truth can tip the scales in your favor.

It's really not worth it to engage with people still in the Matrix that bad. You'll just get shit on your shoes.
