Are protagonist complexes a real thing?

pls tell me this is real

Rent free

it's literally a politics thread. You guys are really stupid.

COPE

a wand is a much much more dangerous item than a gun, imagine if the Ministry of Magic, around the time of the takeover by the Death Eaters, had started confiscating peoples' wands "for the safety of the public"

And hell the Capitol mainly kept the remaining Districts under their thumb by superiority of weapons

WOMEN RISE UP
WE LIVE IN A PATRIARCHY

>shits on faggots that take advantage of us
>improves relations with enemies
explain how that's a bad thing

It's kind of silly. I appreciate the way fiction can influence people but you have to go beyond that. The idea of the Force influenced my view of spirituality when I was young but I don't call myself a Jedi. I read into it and found that the ideas of the Force and the Jedi took a lot from Taoism and Buddhism, so I read about those doctrines and found a lot of interesting ideas about life and connecting with people and the world. Stories can be helpful and inspiring but personally I think it's probably not a good idea to chain yourself too much to one and try to live life according to it, especially when it's a megafranchise that exists primarily to make money.

I tried looking up that account but it's been suspended

very much so. lefties are bored nihilists looking for conflict. they wish to usher in a new era even if it is objectively worse because the evil white man has had his time in the light and must be defeated. no morality. no rationality. just a desire for something different.

Why do people who are literally the villains from The Hunger Games use The Hunger Games as a political reference?

1984 is actually good though.

Hahahahahaha

Americans need to suffer a real tragedy like an invasion from a foreign force or something.

Take them down a few pegs

>There definitley needs to be some changes to gun laws,

Yeah, repealing all of them.

America was a mistake

Is there an actual moral or lesson to 1984?

Because I read it and couldn't shake the impression that it was just a statement that as technology and the ability of political entities to exploit it for surveillance and propaganda purposes grows, we're fuuuuucked irrevocably and inevitably due to some misfortune of human nature.

But I might be missing something because pic related is me

as far as i have heard it was orwell critiquing stalin for misappropriating socialism in the name of tyranny

actually im retarded, that was animal farm sorry but they are both pretty similar

Obviously so. The moral imagination of children raised almost exclusively on these shitty books has been corrupted beyond measure. Everyone with a different opinion is The Dark Lord and each individual opposing him a hero questing to set the cosmos in order. It's pathetic.

Didn't voldemort get beat because the wand he owned wasn't actually owned by him through the proper channels?

There was no moral lesson that I can remember. Maybe a warning, but the warning was about a very specific type of society that cannot be found in reality.

One of the book's main idea is that some concepts and idea were forbidden, this subverted, or inverted even. The tools of control were among others the silencing through censorship and hobbling language as is exists, the reduction of what can be thought.

However, we live in a society (hurr) in which the tools of controls are actually contained within the freedom of speech.There is no need for a goverment to reduce language or to try amending it. The societal peace thrive through conceptual conflicts of ideas, which is to say, the more words and concepts, the better. The tool of control is the creation of new concepts and / or financing of media through which expand the exposition of pre-existing concepts which are polarizing within society; abortion, transgenderism, gun control, wage gaps.

There is no reduction, rather the more ideas can be discussed, the better. All discussions and ideas threatening the establishement, and all the movements that could be formed from it, are easily scattered to the wind when exposed to secundary issues with a strong emotional reach, visceral ideas.

As long as there are people, there will be polarizing ideas. As long as there are polarizing ideas, democracy can keep being dichotomy of pointless nothing at all, voting an irrelevant process of inching back and forth in the void of non-issues.

The weirdest thing is that most of those stories have shit like authoritarian governments and the protagonists having to defend themselves on their own, but for some reason this translates to "give up the means to defend yourself" when they take it to the real world.

Did an AI write these?

>foreign force invading America
But that goes into guns as well, user. That whole behind every blade of grass is a gun quote in ww2 is pretty accurate

>invasion from a foreign force
That's literally happening right now

But Harry used a more powerful weapon to disarm Voldemort, are they saying we all need to buy bazookas?

I think so

Even if they win it's the suffering during war that they need. The reason why sjws and stuff exist is due to a lack of a real struggle or conflict in America

>1984 prepared me for this
So the absolute retard who made that sign didn't read it, and doesn t even know what it's about. Holy fuck what a moron. Unless, of course, she plans on losing.

DEY JUST LIKE US!

If you’re going to make a fake account at least make it believable

Read it twice, although it's been a while.
I've not addressed the telescreens and a number of other things, but feel free to tell me where I'm wrong.

>stop killing children
I bet this person is pro-abortion

moral lesson is that totalitarianism is wrong because even the most basic aspects of your life are controlled by the state
fucking brainlets its like a childrens fairytale how can you not tell the moral of the story

Potter fans should be sterilized.

>that chapter when hermione snorts too much wizard cocaine

Women have always been solipsistic narcissists who are pandered to throughout their lives so they never have to face the hard realities. They think they all star in their own Sex and the City movie.

Oh
Oh no
I'm going to do it guys
I'M GONNA COOOOOOOOOOOM

I may be misinterpreting your argument, but you seem to be claiming that people will always disagree, thus using free speech, and that is good for a totalitarian government because it offers them a distraction. Thing is, that's clearly discussed in the book. The endless war is used as a distraction, and the government controls every single aspect of speech (the word bad doesn't even exist anymore) so free speech cannot even conceptually exist in Orwell's world.

Is "coom" pronounced "kuum" or "kuhm"?

Reminder:
>Harry Potter raises and trains an illegal militia to counter the legally appointed but corrupt authorities.
>Every student and teacher carries a lethal weapon on them at all time.
>The climax of the series is said armed militia and allied armed civilians fighting state-backed terrorists.
Bonus
>The hero survives because a woman embraced the role of motherhood to protect her child from being post-birth aborted by a guy with an abnormal nose.

Going by the vocaroos, kuum

My argument is rather that facism, as a political system intent on the strict control of individuals is not necessary to achieve relatively similar goals i.e a stable society in which dissent is impotent, when it even exists.

It's good that you brought up the endless war, that I actually had kind of forgottent. I'm looking specifically at the US, and in a way, the two party system IS the endless war, if only through the constant opposition of ideas. However it exists through the freedom of speech, and not because language was stunted into oblivion.

So it's not the endless war as a fabricated conflict, but as a constant societal struggle that cleaves the population in two (or more) opposing groups. And in a way, although it is absolutely encouraged and financed, I think it is originally a spontaneous phenomenon, rather than something manufactured.

I might be a bit all over the place, but for me, the world as it is today shows that you do not need totalitarism to control the masses. People, myself included, are hedonistic shitheels. Give me a food and a Yea Forums flamewar, and I am for all intent and purposes subjugated and docile. People, myself included, will trade security and safety for freedom, as long as there is still the appearance of freedom.

FBI crime statistics?

>They beat Voldemort by disarming him
Bitch, what???? Voldemort defeated himself because of some obscure wizard technicality regarding ownership of the strongest wand. Also, literally every character in the series was armed with a magic stick in their pockets at all times. Did these dipshits ever read the books they base their entire ideology on?
