      Kanye believing that getting out of the Sunken Place means embracing Trump is, you know, the exact damn opposite: it's being IN the sunken place and convincing yourself your "owners" mean the best. But this story of "reversing / corrupting clear metaphors" is so common right now.

      It's not unlike MRAs / Incels taking "The Matrix," whose pill metaphor was not only clearly a liberal one, but ended up being a powerful statement in transgender self-understanding. But the MRAs corrupted using it to mean "women are evil controllers" and other heinous shit.

          But taking these and powerful words / metaphors away IS the entire point. Just as Fake News originally started as our way of literally identifying harmful falsified stories from Macedonia, Trump immediately usurped to declare war on CNN and the media itself.

          The point is that upending language can be one of the most dangerous / powerful things on the planet, because it inverts reality itself and makes discussion impossible. We up is down, there's not foothold to even begin talking from a rational place. It forges the Tower of Babel.

          I found this to be an interesting bit of backstory as well. Maybe on theme? https://www.elle.com/culture/news/a34512/woman-who-started-incel-movement/ …

          I never understood those white supremacists using the Matrix metaphor—nearly every hero in the entire trilogy is a person of color. You’d think they’d recognize that.

          But neo is above them. That's the thing about white supremacists. Sometimes it's not even that they "hate" in the sense that the understand it, it's that they thing they are best, hence "whites are supreme"

          Nooooo for these guys the red pill is the choice to wake up. Have the epiphany. Your read is correct but way too nuanced for these folk.
