look up the documentary and read the books philosophy and hte matrix. its obviously based on the most famous philosophies including marx.
OK, you tell the writers what their intent really was instead of what they are saying. And at the end of the day IT WAS A :censored2:ING MOVIE YOU BLITHERING IDIOT.

Yeah?

Keanu Reeves Didn’t Know The Matrix Was a Trans Allegory

"Two decades after The Matrix was originally released, codirector and cowriter Lilly Wachowski finally revealed the franchise was a trans allegory. “That was the original intention,” she told Netflix in August, adding that she kept mum about it largely because the “corporate world wasn’t ready for it.” The revelation isn’t new to superfans of The Matrix, who have long viewed the film through that particular allegorical lens after Lilly and her sister, Matrix codirector and writer Lana, came out as trans after the franchise wrapped up. But it’s brand new to star Keanu Reeves, who played Neo in the series."
Transgender people have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from their sex assigned at birth. Some transgender people who desire medical assistance to transition from one sex to another identify as transsexual. Transgender, often shortened as trans, is also an umbrella term.

actually thats comparable to saying religion is a story and therefore theres nothing to learn from it.

one of hte main philosophies that hte matrix is based on is platos allegory of the cave. you also have descartes evil deciever i believe. you have free will vs determinism. karl marx exploitation theory, and unrestrained capitalism consumes everything until it consumes itself. tons off stuff in there. will i be saved by a savior or do i save myself? etc.

No, it isn't.
yea it is. i think religion is just a story. therefore i have nothing to learn from it. but regardless of it being true or not is besides the point of whether there is anything to learn from it.

cornel west calls american market culture deeply anti intellectual and this is a prime example.

No, it isn't.
what can i know? can justice be absolutely obtained? is there a resurrection? what is enlightenment? what is faith? the matrix even analyzes vegan vs carnivore diets: in the first movie im pretty sure they exclusively eat vegan diets in the real world, and in the matrix they notably chow down on steak.

You think the Bible is just American market culture? You do realize that Western civilization is based on Judeo-Christian values? Whether you buy into religion or not the principles of our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, our courts, pretty much everything have those values at their foundation.

After three months of refusing to even acknowledge that there are violent left wing protests happening across the country, Biden finally releases a statement about it.

It hilariously includes this complete lack of self awareness:

"... his failure to call on his supporters to stop seeking conflict shows just how weak he is," Biden said.

The Declaration of Independence wasn't a framework for governance Mr. Intellectual. The Articles of Confederation were and they weren't working well. So the Constitution was created. How you can say it was only about protecting the rich is beyond me. The Bill of Rights was unlike anything in the world at the time and still holds up today in giving average citizens protection.

I know who uses that phrase.
So by you using it , do you also feel that silence is complicity? Or were you just being facetious, and by doing so admitting that I was correct and the Democrats are not supporting and endorsing looting and rioting and that this is just another in a long list of "alternate facts" being pushed by Trump and parroted by gullible and easily distracted so called "moderate" Democrats , who in all actuality are just looking for any excuse to vote for Trump(again) and don't have the testicular fortitude to just admit that they are nothing but carpetbagging Republicans trying to pass as Democrats

Apparently you didn't get the memo. "1984" and "Animal Farm" were anti-socialist, not socialist books.

It's either complicity, ignorance or disinterest.
It may be other things as well but that's the three I came up with.
Wait! It could be POLITICS! Yeah, that's probably it.
