"Suppalo doesn't do anything that a normal school wouldn't do " um yes?? Normal schools are horribly oppressive and control-oriented. They are designed to make kids think things that are not important carry this insane weight. Manufactured intensity is like their whole deal.

There are many many sources of oppression and control present in our lives, all of the time. If you can't question them enough that you think The Eclipse is a bad show because the mind control and strict rule aspect isn't dramatic enough... perhaps you need to watch The Eclipse. Idk.

#the Eclipse #dude some estimates say 32% of teens have medical-grade anxiety #schools are one of the places where you get locked in for hours every day #they create their own little universe in there and convince students that their lives are ending over late homework and skipping a day #it IS actually horrible damaging and effects people way longer than they think #the eclipse is suggesting that this is perhaps not as acceptable as you seem to think #perhaps this is an idea you might consider entertaining #I do not think we need more examples or more intensity in the examples of authoritarianism or abuse from Suppalo #personally I think keeping it light and less culty means that we have less of an opportunity to say 'this is about someone else'#it's about you and your kids and your past and your future #its abt how my manager at SUBWAY told a woma she couldn't say goodbye one final time to her best friend of 40 years bc we'd be shortstaffed #its about how I nearly killed myself overworking and stressed for WALMART #when there could never under any circumstances be anything important happening there ever #it's about church telling you not to think wrong thoughts or your coach destroying your self-esteem to make you Really Want It #as much as it's about government and north korean style totalitarianism and ideological divides and whatever #they chose this tiny stage to tell their big story On Purpose #and for me the effect is good #because I did some amount of the thinking on my own :)
