you’re reducing a genocide to social media validation and substituting real action with empty digital praise. liking a post changes nothing and you’re just being performative by basing your morals and values on celebrities online. you just don’t care about the real issue
there's something so weird about constantly trying to prove your fave is pro-palestine i genuinely hate how an actual genocide turned into a stan war for so many people. we will not give your fav a standing ovation because they liked a pro-palestine post. grow tf up
If you think about it, this is a highly symbolic bookend to the 1989-2001 ‘End of History’ period that Fukuyama described.
Lain is about the End of History and people responding to it by escaping into the ‘wired’, the ‘DigiAnarchy’ of Web 1.0 where you could say/be/do/create/etc anything that you wanted - Which Lain speculates as evolving into this Cyberpunk future full of things like full-body VR/AR and ASI amongst other things.
After 9/11 came Web 2.0 & 3.0- The walled garden / ‘Eternal September’ of privacy killing legislation, Facebookification (“A literal book of faces and personal information to sort people by, the opposite of Anarchy”) and the sublating of forums with things like discord etc.
Lain/SEL is used as a calling card by ‘Landian Accelerationist’ types because they like those things it speculates about - But now Lain is getting close to ~40 years old and stands as a reminder of a ‘Lost Future’ that 9/11 severed from existing.
