@ThinkAppraiser@IndexAndForget America is currently in something like a 70's era redux of stagflation, debased currency, rising rates, civil unrest, and a brewing cold war 2.0 (A.I. this time) with hot regional conflicts just like back then
Nothing new under the sun
After viewing The Shape Store approximately 67 times, I’m ready to give my full depth of commentary as to its true meaning.
To begin, it’s been posited that The Shape Store represents a Bacchanalian afterlife for blacks, but while this theory holds merit, I find it flawed. The biggest issue with it is that it claims that there is no death, and yet, we clearly see the skeleton of a negroid that has been vaporized still riding around on its bumper car.
With this clear instance of death, it’s also entirely possible that the black who gets discombobulated by the shock glove leading to smoke pouring from his head was “slimed out” as they say in their vernacular. There’s other clear occasions of strife and violence that occur throughout as well, which is the key point of my contention for its meaning.
Above all other things, the black desires a flaunted status displayed in accumulation of various material goods. Spend any time around them and you’ll see proof. I still recall the first time I witnessed when a new Nike shoe was released and there were dusky skinned EBT recipients lined up around the block to purchase these.
You can find them buying Dodge Hellcats at absurd APRs and then fighting the Repo men who come to take it back when they fail to make payments. You can find them flaunting the most ridiculous of jewelry and other accessories, designer clothes and other such brands, far more often than among any other population and at far greater levels of poverty.
What the shape store represents is a world in which rather than these items they often chase, which are quite expensive, instead the most coveted item for blacks are cheap colorful shapes, which are vastly abundant and plentiful. So much so that all are effectively rich beyond their dreams in these goods.
That is to say, The Shape Store is a Science Fiction displaying Post-Scarcity Negrodom. On surface level, it is Utopian. The Shape Store is plentiful, and they are often quite happily entertained by its pristine theatrics. But look closer at much of what is displayed.
Even in the opening, we see what is most likely inebriated drivers crashing their shape cars into one another. They’re still causing issues even in the opening, but we blow past that to delve into the shape store. As mentioned earlier, though they have all they could ever want, we still see casual black on black violence perpetrated quite often.
The common claim of black apologists is that their rate of violence is simply a result of their poverty. What we see quite clearly is that even in this world of abundant black material wealth the black will still find reasons to kill other blacks.
This too is born out in reality. Blacks at the lowest poverty commit more murders than blacks at the higher income levels, so wealth has some bearing on this. However, blacks at the highest income levels commit less murders on average than the poorest whites in the nation. The Shape Store shows exactly this playing out, rich blacks killing and harming other rich blacks.
Further, near the end, we see some older blacks in the end getting into a squabble over some kind of gambling event. It shows that even in this world of total abundance, where blacks desire only colorful shapes and have all the colorful shapes they could ever possibly want, their avarice is absolutely boundless.
Even here, they still will come to blows over a perceived slight or a loss of goods. Even here, they still chimp out. It’s why at the very end, while every shape prior has been utterly pristine, we are left staring at some bizarre, rotted and distorted shape.
Because in a world where the blacks have what they want, it doesn’t stop them from still being black. Material abundance does not remove race.
The Shape Store is a Utopia on the surface, but what it hides is a Dystopia. A Dystopia, because no matter what you were to give them in goods or in welfare or in colorful shapes, blacks will still act black.
@kimmonismus Almost like the people making the rules have a conflicting interest in a competitive business or something
Couldn't be that simple could it
