Ok, so you want replies that only confirm what you already believe. What a surprise to tell me it wasn't your question. That also ignores that other people had already replied, my comments weren't ignorant of what was already covered by other replies.
I think you're drinking the rose-tinted kool-aid just a bit too hard there on societal issues
There is no factory making it. It's the factory kool-aid that is advertising, news, marketing, films - commercial art. I am specifically speaking outside factory kook-aid.
this general cynical view on how everyone else is lost in this wasteland except for the few enlightened
Yha, that's the general view, haha! No it isn't. Name people who support NO TEAMS, not A vs. B.
"There are certain things in our nation and in the world which I am proud to be maladjusted and which I hope all men of good-will will be maladjusted until the good societies realize — I say very honestly that I never intend to become adjusted to — segregation and discrimination. I never intend to become adjusted to religious bigotry. I never intend to adjust myself to economic conditions that will take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few. I never intend to adjust myself to the madness of militarism, to self-defeating effects of physical violence." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
That speaks for me. I don't believe in ANY form of inequality. Rich actors who enslave people with their personality and charms - their ability to lie and fake on recorded images - who make billions of dollars. Money and fame people trafficking is the very basis of Hollywood and factory consumption.
You think my view is the general view? no, 99.9% of people can't even figure out the Quran and Bible and Upanishads and Totem Poles can be translated with each other - just like many films. Instead, these art poetry are politics ploys where every person takes one side or another and nobody wants to actually understand what the story is saying. Your reply shows no understanding of the topics I have presented and the people I have cited as references.
