Have you read Leon Uris? James Michener? A lot of us have read the work of substantial authors. You always assume. You read, and watch, anything that might affirm what you already believe. That's not being an intellectual. That's following a certain crowd.

How about Vaclav Havel? Might be an eye opener for that clown.

Yes. He wrote a number of books about communism, and living under Soviet occupation.

 

[vantexan]

Yes. He wrote a number of books about communism, and living under Soviet occupation.

I recall he was a poet of some renown also. Interesting how near the end of the Soviet Union some truly great men with backbone came forth.

Because fiction writers want to be successful so they incorporate grains of truth along with ideas meant to press buttons, excite the reader. The way you go on about the Matrix can only make one think you see hidden meaning that reveals we really are in a matrix. Much in the same way Star Trek fans often go overboard in their enthusiasm for that subject matter. If you've watched all the Matrix movies congratulations, you're exactly what they hoped you'd be. You helped a corporation make profits. Nothing wrong with enjoying the movie but it's fascinating how people like you belittle religious beliefs but look to clearly works of fiction for meaning in your lives.

Trump isn't killing us — but the politics of cultural despair is

The United States has become a grotesque shadow of itself. The absurd Trump regime is a symptom, not a cause

wow he sounds alot like me what a suprise lol:

"Havel's political philosophy was one of anti-consumerism, humanitarianism, environmentalism, civil activism, and direct democracy.[2] He supported the Czech Green Party from 2004 until his death."
