backing the wrong side in Matrix

Tuesday, May 19, 2020

Gauging from Wachowski’s reaction to Laura Trump, I realize that we got the Matrix series completely wrong and we’re apparently cheering on the wrong side.

Wachowski attacked Trump for referencing a portion of movie in which the potential hero must choose between a red and a green pill.

As in Alice in Wonderland and the classic rock song by Jefferson Airplane each pill did something different.

In this case one pill woke the hero up to the reality of the Matrix and the other one allowed the hero to remain completely fooled by the system that was deluding him.

Trump use this as a metaphor to show that most people who support the Democratic party was largely living in a Dream World controlled by people who wanted to keep them addicted to a system that enslave them.

As in Matrix, Democrats seem to want to keep people hooked up to a welfare state that keeps people needy.  Since Democrats run almost all of the programs that supposedly help the poor and make their money off the backs of those, they help they strongly resemble the machine founders of The Matrix.

Matrix is a lot like Terminator in that it suggests that machine know better than humankind on how to run our lives.

As in Terminator humans discovered too late that the machines were suddenly taking over the world.

Unfortunately, in Matrix the machines went a lot further and controlled a lot more and figured out how to use human bodies to generate power to keep the machines going.

Almost everybody was raised from birth to support the machine.

In exchange the machine created a phony reality that allowed them to go on in their daily routines without understanding just the true purpose they served.

Fortunately, a few brave souls were either lucky enough to escape or were not born in captivity having been raised in this remote place of free Souls.

Those they needed they unhooked from machine and brought them to their Hideout to help fight the Matrix.

In today's terminology the Democrats might call them white supremacists even though a number of the people involved in this Rebellion are people of color.

In search for the one and the person who is going to deliver people from the grasp of the machine, the hero was given a choice between two pills one that would set him free and the other that would allow him to continue to dream.

Unfortunately, being awake meant being responsible and understanding how dangerous the system was it means stripping off the mask that keeps people addicted to the machines influence.

The hero -- Trump was alluding to -- picked the right pill and became the lead in this Rebellion.

And those of us who have watch these films over and over again assumed we were supposed to root for the hero.

But it's clear from Witkowski’s reaction that we got it all wrong that the real hero was The Matrix and that by choosing the wrong pill we mistakenly sided with the rebels.

I guess when artists make these things, they don't always make it clear just which side they want us to support.

But it's clear Witkowski’s is largely the traitor who wanted to go back and taste steak and live the good life even if it was illusion.

 she clearly wants us all to keep social distance and put onto mask and gloves and do whatever the system is telling us to do.

Clearly, she wanted us to take the other pill.
