Bless your empowering words but I wasn't being defeatist.
Not sure why you would see it as a bleak quote then? To me it's kind of refreshing to be reminded that none of this is as scary as "we're supposed to believe," because none of it is actually unique or new.
I legitimately can't think of a single scary authoritarian in all of history, who wasn't driven by the fragile ego of their inner child, and reenacting their own trauma by projecting it on to everyone else via controlling behavior.
The what the fuck moments are a feature, not a bug. Reality has essentially become an increasingly absurd haunted house we're all being forced to walk through, and it only exists because for some reason people keep falling for the jump scares instead of breaking the 4th wall to fuck with the minds of the actors "creating reality."
