    It’d be pretty dope if we discussed society and politics using political theory and philosophy instead of different kinds of media

          Oh, please, that’s like…not even remotely creative.

          If you’re going to resort to trolling, at least put some effort in! Otherwise, what’s the point?!

            You’re reaching deep into your grab bag of labels. Am I gaslighting you now?

            I commented my opinion on the original post and then I employed sarcasm when you accused me of gatekeeping.

            My reaction to this thread being all about movie references was to wish we didn’t think about our society only in those terms and I shared it.

              Your reaction to a thread…about movie references…is to wish it wasn’t about that???

              Ummm, yeah, I stand by my accusation of gatekeeping.

                You’re standpilling my argument.

                Anyway I’ll drop it and move on but the thread is about critiquing our society by way of movie references, which is on topic for what I’m saying and kinda proves my point.

      Yeah, it isn’t like art can convey ideas and profound thoughts at all and never ever have fictional stories been used as a tool to talk about real events.
