The Shining

one of the most damning indictments of the murderous american id and the way white supremacist violence seeps into the domestic sphere ever made. we the people in order to form a more perfect union of the soul and mind must bully, hunt, kill, kill, kill. who is left to conquer? the land was settled a long time ago, the people it belonged to slaughtered or ghettoized or forced into subservience. the white man left to stew and simmer in a steaming pot of blood, the lid rattling, barely contained. his manifest destiny a shitty apartment, a neurotic wife, a freak for a son. but there’s this great white wilderness and it’s all yours, jack, just like the fathers promised. who would dare to stop you? you have always been here, you will always be here. terror made in your image, at long last, frozen and eternal. a smile on your face, the party that never ends.
