I feel like Truman, except its inversed. Everyone around me just trolling. Everyone is abusive. Everyone ignores me. I am the Anti-Truman.

That because you are in the Truman 2.0 edition where they decided to which it up a little bit
Do you want a hug then?
If you asked me IRL, I would've thought it was a prank where you'd go "sike lol, get pranked"
Because that's literally what kids do at school. They say "X really likes you... NOT"
Like... dafuq?!?
I wanna just be a hermit and hide in the woods forever lol, but I can't even farm stuff so I'm stuck with society... ugh....
I'll sorta take that as a yes, so here ya go:

If you had the disposable income of a 90's middle-class person, you might find it claustrophobic that you aren't allowed to take your holidays and see the world.
But like for us who only really imagine seeing it through screens, this would be a massive improvement.
Anon doesn't realize how distressing schizophrenia is. Not a moment's privacy
The secret ingredient is slavery.
Also, 100% guaranteed the producers of the show watched Truman fap.
Omg I never thought about it. The Truman Show is literally legalized CSAM for the first 18 years.
Movie is now cursed, I can't ever think about that shit the same ever again.
You know, if all I had to do to live a guaranteed comfortable life was to rub one out in front of a camera every now and then, sure, sign me up.
I mean thats basically why it was the biggest show in the world in the movie.
Everyone idealizes what it must be like to be so pure and safe from decisions. Not realizing that curiosity and a desire to be free to choose who we are is more inherent to who we are than our exhaustion at complications of life.
So people watch, to pretend to be simple.
Anon wants to be plugged back into the Matrix.
He has been bluepilled, he probably thinks the earth is round, and that covid has not bill gates chemtrails with nanobots that make frogs gay and fly into peoples rectum and fuck them every night.
what a loser.
Was the Matrix not famously not a Utopia, because that ruined 'crop' yields.
Yeah, if I remember correctly the first version of the matrix was a utopia and it failed because humans need something to fight / compete over in order to stay motivated
Fake: Anon likes the internet too much to go back to the early 90's
Gay: Anon wants to be psychologically abused by another man for the rest of his life (CNC mascdom)
You have all the google (/other corp) services making your life easier, turning on the lights when you say so, syncing your files, emails across all you devices, hosting your videos, editing your family pictures for you etc... and all that for free.
But what did you sacrifice for all that, Truman ?
You left out what anon truly cares about, the assigned wife appliance.

Dude saw the Truman Show and actually envied him. God that's cursed
that is the state of the world we are in today.
you're not wrong. but I don't think it's everywhere.
">If [wife] leaves him he gets an instant hotter replacement"
As someone happily married, I am rather offended at how incredibly shallow this statement is. My wife is nothing short of an incredible human being, and someone assuming I would immediately get over losing her if someone "hotter" instantly replaced her is a horrible statement.
And you just know that there are people IRL who think like this.
What you're saying makes sense if you have a genuine connection with her
Truman's marriage was not genuine
Of course.
Something to know though - I was very much not sober when I wrote that comment 😅
Based
They're people who have no idea what an emotional attachment is, they've never had one. To them, women are for sex, decoration and menial labour.
While I do agree with your sentiment, Truman's wife was a bitch.
True. It's been a while since I've seen the movie.
It is a 4chan post, don’t take it too seriously
Don't worry - sober me will have a chat with drunk me later about greentexts.
It is a 4chan post, so it is written by an incel.
That's because this is written by somebody with the emotional maturity of a 6-year-old, the body of an overweight 40-year-old, and the age of a 16 year old.
Beautifully said. I'm stealing this.

Maybe our mistake is assuming it’s possible to build a utopia. Maybe every timeline ends is dystopia and the only way for that to not happen is to be satisfied with where we’re at today and halt “progress”
Nah, I think the real mistake is that it takes a ton of effort for a utopia, when really doing less is the utopia
Anon is forgetting about the unskippable ads.

I mean, that’s the conflict of the movie. If everyone around you is always kissing your ass, you’ll never know you need to wash it. Sounds great on the surface but he wants to know he’s actually loved. Not just because it’s scripted to love him.
If everyone around me was being paid to like me all the time, I’d never be sure if I was a good person. No one would ever correct me or tell me I need to do better.
Moreover, it brings fundamental questions about your life and its long term safety. Why would someone trap you in such an unfathomably expensive setup? There is no reasonable answer, meaning some insane or horrifically unethical entity controls your existence. There is danger aplenty in your situation itself.

"The plot demands he can never struggle too much"
"Let's kill his dad when he's 12."
I enjoy shit talking the silent and boomer gens having it easier, but I know I'm wrong. They were raise by people who went thru the cvil war, ww1, and the great depression. There's a survivorship bias in who you have to hear from, there was the psychological trauma of the constant drum beat of the cold war, the civil rights movement, only being able to live one way. I know they also went thru it, but they are so outsized in their control of the economy and news now I'm just tired of viewing the whole world thru their ancient ass lens.
Because, anon, you’re seeing him from the outside looking in, and he couldn’t look out (until he broke free.)
You seem to assume that, knowing what you do, you’d have the same knowledge you do now when you’re in his position. You wouldn’t. You, just as he did, would have to discover the same discrepancies he did, and you (being him) would sail until you hit the wall.
Anon, do you by any chance find yourself agreeing with Cypher regarding pill choices?
