I've Been Waiting A Long Time To Make This Post But It Was Difficult To Put It In Words. That's Why I

I've been waiting a long time to make this post but it was difficult to put it in words. that's why I couldn't post it when the hype was at it's peak.

I kinda have mixed feelings about the upcoming haymitch book. like, yes I know its going to be great and I'll probably buy it and read it and gush over how brilliant it is as soon as it comes out but i also feel like i could've done without it. like the hunger games is supposed to make a point against capitalism and dictatorship. we're supposed to be disgusted by how the capitol consumes so much resources only for pleasure and entertainment while the rest of the world burns. It's a commentary about how the world goes blind when children are dying. In fact the reason why these stories are so beloved is because it draws parallels to our real world and it's about bringing a change in a world of dictatorship to a world of democracy.

So now, with these more and more books and movies coming out and us consuming it, hollywood makes even more money and the us government keeps funding israel with their taxes. they keep killing children just like they do in the books. what kind of paradox am I living in?

I am being sold a story about how wrong doing all of this is, yet the story itself is being used to do that very thing. The reason why fiction is so beloved is because it is a way of growing wisdom and critiquing reality because its's a shadow of it. But it doesn't feel like that anymore. The wall between fiction and reality has been broken.

we too, the hunger games fandom are being led to capitalism.

I love how the Trump assassination attempt has collectively pissed off the entire political spectrum for entirely different reasons.

Extreme Right: “THEY ALMOST KILLED OUR GUY!!! CLEARLY BIDEN PAID HIM TO DO THAT!!!”

Center-Right: “Why the fuck didn’t the secret service stop him after he was reported ten minutes prior???”

Center-Left: “Oh my god, this twerp just cost us the election! Violence is never the answer.”

Extreme Left: “Flop. How do you miss a target that big?”
