or morality can be seen as an imaginary creation of the power structure to get the inferiors to obey, and to want to obey so there is no coup, and that the reason anyone believes in morality is because they have essentially been brainwashed. morality wouldn't be a universal concept, because those don't exist, but an arbitrary category set up by the power structure to maintain power. there's your foucault for the day. always happy to provide. my definition of morality is that jennifer dodwell bring me cookies, so make sure to do that tonight or your life will be a sham.

tv, for all its dumb programming, does a very clever thing: it markets the idea of rebellion, so it takes the concept of rebellion, parallel to the concept of individuality, and tells you how to rebel, which of course is telling you how to conform. so this means that it is no longer possible to rebel. what we consider to be rebellion is its opposite so rebellion no longer exists. it would if we could "think outside the box" but that has become a cliche too.
