Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I don’t think that invalidates that the show is about American chauvinism and cynicism. And yes Laxmi is obviously delusional, I’m not sure what that has to do with anything.
Like just because no one left outside the collective isn’t dealing with it well or being a ML about it doesn’t mean it’s not criticizing how Americans see themselves and the world (and their place in it).
I think if we take Vince Gillian at his word, he doesn’t really write with themes or thesis like this. So it’s all an exercise in literary interpretation after all.
And yeah the collective says that Carrol shouldn’t worry about killing millions, but that happens right after she comments about Stalin. I don’t feel that’s accidental.
But again, we’ll see. Specially after this last episode, who tf knows where this is going.
