Too bad for him. Nowdays americans only understand things in terms of Harry Potter and comic books. The usamerican brain has turned into hamburguer long ago
Which ones you taking about? Because this is a pretty ignorant take, painting with a very wide brush.
An odd way to word that, but they're not necessarily wrong. The way all forms of media have become long running franchises and contained boxes has worked as a constant distraction to the majority, and allowed for very easy information control. Movies, TV, news sources and radio stations are all owned by a few big companies, and the internet is really just meta, Google, and Microsoft. If every other website disappeared right now, the majority of Americans wouldn't even notice. It's not their fault, it's just a captive industry designed to appeal to as many people as possible.
It seems like the Roman empire is too busy with their carnivals to see it crumbling around them.
You're telling on yourself.
