“
Superheroes are part of your brainless desire to replace true experience with simulation. You don’t talk, you watch talkshows. You don’t play games, you watch gameshows. Travel, relationships, risk.
Every meaningful experience must be packaged and delivered to you to watch at a distance so that you can remain ever sheltered, ever passive, ever ravenous consumers who can’t bring themselves to rise from their couches, break a sweat, and participate in life.
You want superheroes to protect you and make yourselves even more powerless in the process while you tell yourself you’re being looked after, that your interests are being served, and your rights are being upheld so that the system can keep stealing from you, smiling at you all the while.
Go ahead, send your supers to stop me, grab your snacks, watch your screens and see what happens. You are no longer in control. I am.
