Like a limited ‘fake’ world edifice structured through legal fictions like money, debt and contracts, which attempts to assert that it is significantly more powerful and pervasive than it actually is, through stories like The Matrix, to instill a sense of hopelessness upon anyone who even considers not submitting to it.
It’s more than just denied claims. It’s about the entirety of society being turned into a squid game which shits on everyone who’s actually trying to work together instead of competing with each other.
