That was interesting, thank you. This feels kind of related:
I played Persona 5 a little after Trump took office the first time. There's a part of the game where you go through the social unconscious mind and people are sitting in cages reassuring themselves that they didn't do anything to cause the problems people are facing,, and,,
I keep thinking about fascism at a personal level. That these people are trapped in their own minds trying to hide from their own awareness in an attempt to feel at peace. It doesn't work, of course. They're still prisoners in their own mind, afraid to see themselves as powerful enough to do anything about it.
