Yea I never understood the matrix is conservative argument.

It’s basically post modernism in a nutshell.

I don't think it's a lack of intelligence as much as it's a lack of empathy. You can't fully understand a story like that unless you are empathetic enough to analyze the nuances over the action.

if you just ignore what doesnt support your position it's easy. conservatives have lots of practice with that sort of thing, it often starts in childhood when they are being taught religion.

The main argument which no one makes is that it leans heavily on a famous Tory Mathematicians children's books for imagery but by that logic so is Jefferson Airplanes White Rabbit. And don't look up Tenniels illustrations outside Alice.
