this looks like a still from the goodbye video sheriff tomlin and the responding EMTs find in the compound the day after you and your brothers and sisters have scrawled "WITNESS OUR ASCENSION" on the wall of the communal room and overdosed on morphine.

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:seeing some of the posts... they're a bit too on the nose. you gotta think more subtle, like... themes of loss and decay with some curse under the surface that's animating events. there's wistful nostalgia and fantastic-grotesque elements that are both alluring and repelling at the same time. it's the noise of the void and the emptiness... my take as an outsider who noticed this poo poo along with my american friends, we arrived at it independently is what i'm saying, over the last couple months: it is the Uncanny and the Morbid bleeding through the thin fabric of business-as-usual bombast and PR the amerikan powers-that-be are trying to stretch over what is obviously a dying society. it thus creates striking visual images that are unsettling and dreamlike in how vividly they portray a Truth about the death throes of the imperial core that is difficult to articulate in words. therefore particular images and video footage become the stand in for this sense of dread and doom that is difficult to articulate in words. it is not lynchian, though it shares many characteristics with the work of david lynch; but where he posits a secret, grotesque underbelly to an amerikan society that is more or less functional, the new amerikan gothic posits something much more bleak and indeed apocalyptic, for there is no escape here, nobody gets out of this alive, and only the grave awaits.
