“stop showing me the horrors” stop supporting the horrors. stop lending credence to the people doing the horrors. stop trying to block out the horrors. stop trying to unfocus your brain from the horrors because it’s no longer in your interest to face them. you do not get a second of peace. you want to forget this is happening. you will not be allowed to forget. you do not get that privilege when you are an active launderer of monsters.

you will either develop empathy for the victims and indignity towards the machine or you will be made to feel guilty for your abettance of it with the last shreds of empathy you have. if you are ever, ever made ignorant of what exactly you are supporting, it is imperative that you are fucking Ludovico’d with the consequences of your ideology until your cognitive dissonance is hammered away and you fall with a side that exists in reality, you mealy-mouthed fence-sitting war-criminal-hosting spineless piece of shit.

      I think it’s quite possible to watch those movies and for that advice to never sink in.

      Look at how many people watched Starship Troopers and completely missed that Verhoeven intended it to be a satire mocking both Heinlein’s book and fascism itself.
