someone on reddit said the hunger games is "silly fiction" because there's "no way there's only one resource in each region"

so I pointed out that that's how it works because the capitol keeps it that way, it's colonialism 101, how it's always worked and still works, they forbid other activities in the districts except the one they're assigned to so that they aren't self-sufficient and have to depend on the capitol for the goods, that's why katniss's hunting is forbidden and why the hunger games exist, they wouldn't exist if people in all districts were allowed to hunt and grow and fish and build stuff

and this person told me that I'm "making stuff up after the fact"

reading comprehension is absolutely dead good god, that's the whole point of the books that's what suzanne collins is trying to say

this is why people watch one tiktok and believe a country that's being pillaged by the "first world" is entirely evil or that a country that's being bombed deserves it or that a country that gets a president forced upon them by a "first world" country is better off that way etc etc etc

you can't even understand it in fictional settings, let alone in front of your face

just remembering going to kyrgyzstan and seeing enormous scars cut into the landscape because the soviets decided that it was now a wheat-growing area and forcibly made it so, and the earthworks and abandoned irrigation canals are all still there.

well you know what they say. when you've invested billions of dollars into hammers every problem looks like a nail and you keep handing these hammers to your users and they go "i don't really think i needed this hammer" and "but i don't have any nails that need hammering in right now" and "this is not a nail this is a glass vase that will break if i hit it with a hammer" and "didn't you used to have, like, other tools avaliable that might be better suited to this job" and you tell them to suck it up because you've replaced all your screwdrivers and wrenches and box cutters and crates and ladders and paint with hammers because your shareholders need to see an increase in value from your hammer investments

Sometimes you get a brief glimpse into the American worldview and decide that you don't want to know.

I cannot stress enough that this meme is entirely literal. there's no reference or subtext you don't know. these are simply the objectively most popular works of art from each denomination.

ilove when someone posts about an issue that's supposedly plaguing society and it's painfully obvious that said issue is not a thing that matters if youre not on tiktok
