The camaraderie of hyper-capitalism vs anti-capitalism in Squid Season 2
Many people have been anxiously awaiting the second season of Squid Game, the most-watched show on Netflix. To win prizes in the first season, players had to compete in several lethal kid-friendly games. The upcoming season, which is also expected to break yet another Netflix record, delves deeper into the limitations and economic background of the surrealistic games. Green light, red light. When the song starts, move forward; when it ends, freeze. It's a fairly easy game. Or is it that moving after the music has stopped carries a death sentence? It was clear from the first season that Squid Game allegorizes the horrors of capitalism through kid-friendly games. Three years later, the second season of arguably the most significant television program of our time advances its adamantly anti-capitalist theme. It accomplishes this by exposing the illusion of "choice" in a system threatening to starve the great majority. In this article, I dive deeper into the dystopian nuances of capitalism and the illusion of choice that stir up scenarios very similar to reality.

From the Lady in the Radiator saying, “In heaven, everything is fine,” this atheist knows better. Late great director David Lynch is in a place of ideas. When he died this past week, all I could ideate about were ideas. He had tons of them. From the scene with his deformed, monstrous child in the world in Eraserhead (1977) to the notes he used from a song about a “Candy-colored clown they call the sandman,” in Blue Velvet (1986) this matador took his audience on trips and flights of fancy.

8 Famous Buildings with Weird Hidden Meanings (According to Conspiracists)
1. The Pentagon (USA) "Five sides, five levels… five times the conspiracy!" Credit: Wikipedia The Pentagon’s shape isn’t just practical—it’s a giant symbol of control, according to some theorists. Rumors swirl that its five sides represent domination over the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, and spirit). Others say it’s a portal for alien communications or even a physical manifestation of occult power. Apparently, paperwork isn’t the only thing getting shuffled inside those walls.
