Joker: What Happens When a Society Loses Its Scapegoat
â—¬ Patron-Only Episode: Sick Society, Sick Individuals: Joker as Society's Scapegoat
The movie Joker caused a similar reaction to pulling a garbage lid off a possum's hiding place: a lot of impotent hissing at the light shun on what's preferred unseen.
The fear that depicting a sliver of the violence we watch the news broadcast every day will cause it; the anger at yet another completely unrelatable white male story about failing social support, corrupt elites, and a culture of callousness. The backlash against Joker warns against a society that can't stand to see its own reflection.
Ever wondered what happens when our social contract is nullified? When nihilism is the norm, the most destructive individual wins.
In this patron-only episode of the Silver Eye Society, we discuss that now dirty word "populism" and question what happens when society loses its favorite scapegoat.
