I just wanted to hear the thoughts of some comrades. I feel like the whole show is a dagger pointed right at the heart of amerikkkan culture and capitalism.

I'm not the most savvy on catching all the themes or lib brain worms that find there way into media, but it speaks to my disdain for the culture. The cynical narcissism of the supes (and holy shit their sexual pathologies), the capitalizing on things from every angle, the military jingoism, the soulless use of humans for capital, the commentary on the rot at the heart of the beast, and the religious cults preying on people. It hits for me, and I hate it all at the same time.

Anyway, hope ya'll have a great Christmas or holiday, at least a break from the meat grinder.

Edit: Oh, and the fucking rainbow capitalism, it's pretty spot on.

I came here to chime in that it gets worse as the show progresses. The good guys need to be the bad guys, which yes in a trope in season 1, becomes too much in the last season.

spoilerLike how starting in season 2, the CIA becomes the objectively good guys.

There are still good critiques of Amerikan culture at the series progresses. But one must live with that ๐Ÿ‘† bullshit in the show.
