UNIVERSAL DECEPTION
Why does virtually all fiction try to convince us that we can tell what bad things are because the people who do them act like arseholes?
It seems like brainwashing illusion to me.
After all, the world is actually full of very, very nice people ... who work in big oil companies or propaganda or such like and just happen to contribute to totally fucking up the world.
This trend in fiction must surely dull our senses a bit when it comes to noticing what bad is being done and who we should be fighting to stop it? We can try to think freely etc, but these things DO ifluence us.
