    She’s really just made Zionism her entire personality, hasn’t she?

      I mean I don't see any other way you can subscribe to those beliefs. Tie it to your personal identity and you don't have to reconcile it with the pain and suffering you cause.

    They're are two wolves inside you. One fetishizes yourself by making up things, and the other whines about things you made up. You are a zionist

      If we're talking literally as in context of the movie and the Zion that's in that movie (way to name stuff) then everyone living there is redpilled

          Fair play. I'm guessing this person saw that the main city was called Zion and decided that clearly the only place that symbolism can go is pro-Israel. Honestly, i'm not totally sure that isn't what the Wachoski's were going or, who know

              Yeah, Zion is used in the same way in Honest Hearts for Fallout: New Vegas.

              It's Zion National Park but it's still Zion to the people who live there. It's why I can never bring myself to evacuate it. You have paradise, defend it.

      Yea I definitely feel like deprogramming the propaganda I grew up with is more akin to being unplugged from the Matrix.

      Unfortunately, I don’t know Kung Fu yet.

    the key thing is just so fucking monstrous, with everything else you can tie yourself in ideological knots about how everything you advocate is justified in some moon-logic world, but the key actually acknowledges the real human suffering caused by that ideology and then just nakedly and explicitly mocks it

    like yeah its just a small and symbolic thing but there is so much fucking inhumanity in it

    I think she's got a point. "Knowing the Matrix," as in, to support our ideals means full-heartedly embracing genocide to achieve it. That's just like Neo waking up and realizing the truth- it's really jarring! What with the whole being on the wrong side of history thing

    Hmm, so she’s saying she’s taken the red pill, but all it’s done is make her more racist? Surely no one else has ever used that analogy in this way before.

    Keeping a population prisoner in order to bleed them dry of the energy that allows your society to run, but treating them as entirely disposable with no regard to human life. Also, despite no obvious way to fight back they're apparently an existential threat that - if scared enough of them - justifies a genocide before starting again. Then of course you have the elaborate fiction created around the situation to discourage dissent.

    If Zionism is the matrix, your side is the machines Eve Fartlow.
