Maybe being manipulated isn't that complicated (episode 5)

Does that guilt really go up in your heart like Stripe when you know that everything you get rid of is actually someone with some flesh just like you? I doubt it.
If so, the Japanese soldiers in the Nanjing Massacre should be condemned in their hearts for the rest of their lives.
And criminal psychology tells us that human beings are bloodthirsty and bullying, so the splash of blood may bring people sin, but it may also be pleasure.
Going back to the play, guilt is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that you may be manipulated unknowingly, and the result of manipulation is precisely the loss of guilt.
If the soldiers implanted with "Max" were unknowingly rounding up "cockroaches", what about ordinary people? The "cockroaches" in their eyes are obviously ordinary people, but they are full of hostility and fear, just because of the potential danger in their genes.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the soldiers and even doctors who executed Jews during the Nazi period must also firmly believe in the statement of this inferior nation, so everything they did forms a perfect self-consistency.
Frankly speaking, I have always felt that Black Mirror is a horror movie, and it does not cause physical discomfort, but psychological fear. If the indiscriminate bombardment of the media is enough to make people exclude their own kind, how can different races and classes with obvious differences coexist?

    I don't want to have any of the future in Black Mirror, I hope I don't live to that day.

    Really American, less depth and more length. The plot is so ordinary

    Lacie: I'm like an hour away...
