    generally speaking the closest thing a typical burgerlander experiences to engaging with public art is receiving advertising. they are isolated and miserable, and the only evocative experiences they have are ads, where much time and energy is expended to try and connect with them and make them feel something. like hungry for burger or sexually charged desire for an SUV.

    when they see an ad that isn’t trying to connect them, all they know is that they have been left out, they are alone and they’ve lost something they don’t know how to replace.

    the one true God is no longer reaching down from heaven to touch their heart and divinely inspire them specifically to order curly fries. because God doesn’t speak to them anymore.

    it is truly a pathetic phenomenon of the most wretched and unloved losers in history.

      i’m religious too - i just feel like if there’s a God, it would want me to unify with and reconcile with other humans - anything that’s fundamentally alienating therefore needs be carefully analyzed, imo

      but there’s no doubt this wretched nation has lost the mandate of heaven. I just wonder how you have to be wired such that you inherit these trends?

      idk what i’m seeking really
