    ever since those Avengers movies proposed the idea of multiverses and it became mainstream, a lot of people live in different realities for the past 5-6 years

    "Alternative facts" and all that

    You can see it all live on social or tv or even on the streets

    decent people drowning in a sea of idiots...

    We can have real peace worldwide if we all just go to therapy

    • I'm ... not sure a superhero film series can really be held responsible for this ...Continuity
    • Why not exactly?
      But yes ofc not
      it was a nice simple example of the multi-verse concept applied to real life in a way
      wthout going full Meta
      ********
    • Oh dear. The concept of alternate and parallel universes have been a — *mainstream* — trope for as long as there've been TV shows, films, and novels.Continuity
    • Zoom out a bit Continuity, don't get cramped on the first sentence ;)
      ********
    • Use better analogies next time?Continuity
    • lolfadein11
    • It was a good analogy, you don't see anything like it before Marvel movies and Trump's presidency
      ********
    • Someone wasn't paying attention during the Bush Jr years.Continuity
    • no really check the news back then, all chill before Brexit, Trump, etc.
      That was a major turning point
      The return of the "us vs. them" politics and all that
      ********
    • then the pandemic was a big reveal - who was who - basically all the masks were off
      same countries, same cities, even same families but different realities
      ********
    • Yeah no, the Bush years were nothing like the mood today
      ********
    • < Anyway, this was just an observation...
      Carry on

    • I would have just started with “trump’s presidency”... we know russia was actively trying to divide us and the whole “fake news/alt facts” thing came out thenscarabin
    • Perhaps political climes forced us into escapist activities like comic books where good people still existscarabin
    • I'm still struggling to see the connection with Marvel movies but the rest is valid and been spoken about for at least the last 8 years.fadein11
    • Well, in many ways comics are based on real life politics

      But yes, I should've started with mentioning trump, even tho' the mood was proceeding him by a bit
      ********
    • @fadein Marvel movies are highly propagandistic in many ways

      It was just a simple comparison tho'

    • Putin is/was a genius on some levels, his slow strategy of destabilising the West was his mission accomplished.fadein11
    • yep fair enough, just don't think they have as much effect as rbillions of relentless, fake posts/ads from Russian troll farms over the last decadefadein11
    • Not sure that is true, the West was already not a "stable genius" for a while - dysfunctional is the right word.
      But now we are all united again. Vlad failed.
      ********
    • of course, but salt into the wounds. It astounds me that people treat social media like a barometer for the state fo scoiety or whatever. The fact is the vastfadein11
    • @fade maybe we personally have outgrown the world in a way, Idk
      Meaning all the points we're discussing here are NOT easily understood by common folk these day
      ********
    • majority of western people are rational and don't give a fuck about what some pink haired teenager rants about in a lecture theatre in idaho. All that BSfadein11
    • Literally I have to explain DAILY basic concepts to people and debunk fake news and propaganda nonstop
      I'm just tired maybe
      ********
    • was never a threat to western society but if you get your world view from twitter it may well have seemed so (if a little gullible).fadein11
    • Here on QBN except for a few "alternative challenged" individuals, I believe we're a fairly decent and smart bunch of cunts
      But outside...damn
