Pretty Gnostic MachineGrowing up, all the bad guys in cartoons were basically just like Donald Trump.
Damn woke commie leftist media!
lankohr@PrettyGnosticMaschine Yeah, like cartoons/media in general wanted to warn us about something 🤔 or was it distraction?
@lankohr Probably both - warning and distraction at the same time. They show you the pattern, but wrapped in a way that feels safe enough to laugh at instead of recognize.
@PrettyGnosticMaschine Why "instead"? Laugh about the regocnition! "Everybody is a teacher for the fools."
@lankohr I think humor often acts like a buffer that reduces the emotional impact of what we're recognizing. It lets truth pass through consciousness without demanding consequences.
