Genuinely might be my favorite scene in the movie. One conversation and it lays out everything so perfectly and precisely while never leaving the metaphor of the Matrix. Especially the comment about these people being the very people they are trying to save - but until they are, they can't see through the system. It's how I feel every time someone tells me I'm being hyperbolic about capitalism or idealistic about socialism.

I yearn for the days of ordering from a local Chinese place that was definitely a front, you could get a bag of wantons literally the size of your head for $5

I believe that's only in the animated version, in the comic he just fails to save him. The comic gets weird as hell tho, beyond just the typical complete misunderstanding of communism, capitalism, really anything about material reality or human nature.

Don't worry it's not the silly letter quote - I know that would be devastating to lose

We have both - seeing this one (or maybe a variation on it) this morning was what prompted me to actually go find the source, I was curious. Is there anywhere to see a list of taglines?

Oh shit I'm sorry, I didn't realize. I'll put it in an archive link

Thankfully the silly letter quote is real, if we lost that one I would be inconsolable

I mean tbh I also wondered that but I saw it enough times I just kind of assumed even he got pissed off enough to say that once

I don't know anything about SDL but we literally have that quote as a site tagline and I see it here all the time, I went to go find the origin and found this. Apologies if I posted a bad source, truly don't know anything about them

 

Apologies if everyone knew this and it was a sitewide bit but I did not and now I feel kinda gross for having used it

EDIT: Converted to an archive link out of concerns about direct linking to reactionary site, mea culpa

To clarify: this is NOT the silly letter quote, that was very real

Previously I'd always said Buttigieg but a Newsom/Buttigieg ticket would not surprise me at all either, I am just assuming the rat will still be involved. AOC will be an even more controlled opposition than Bernie was, she'll spend the primary talking about how the frontrunner doesn't go far enough then she'll get in line and endorse around February 2028.

Ah sorry, I was just being a smartass, no idea how much VR is on mturk now. To be clear I think you've got an accurately bleak view of the future of this stuff
