“Since the civil rights movement, there are half as many water fountains”
I heard that quote being spoken by the TV and it’s crystal clear, double meaning code. The hidden meaning is implying that less viewers these days are getting emotional (water fountain) because they are being treated more fairly in real life (civil rights).
They, whoever THEY are, eat viewer’s emotions and they’re not able to use the kind of inequality story lines they used to, because it used to be a much greater issue…and now it isn’t as much of one. So, less crying from viewers who relate to being treated as less than.
Look, I know this place is a lie. When I heard this sentence being spoken on TV, a medium I’ve established is clearly attempting to pinpoint who is watching it in order to get an emotional or mental reaction in real time, my belief was once again solidified. This place is not what it seems and we are being used and spoken about in double meaning code while watching/interacting with technology and the world around us.
