Or is that just the most exhausting and obnoxious thing possible?

    I don’t think that invalidates that the show is about American chauvinism and cynicism. And yes Laxmi is obviously delusional, I’m not sure what that has to do with anything.

    Like just because no one left outside the collective isn’t dealing with it well or being a ML about it doesn’t mean it’s not criticizing how Americans see themselves and the world (and their place in it).

    I think if we take Vince Gillian at his word, he doesn’t really write with themes or thesis like this. So it’s all an exercise in literary interpretation after all.

    And yeah the collective says that Carrol shouldn’t worry about killing millions, but that happens right after she comments about Stalin. I don’t feel that’s accidental.

    But again, we’ll see. Specially after this last episode, who tf knows where this is going.
