Afterthoughts On Superman

Western governments claim to be models of democracy, and demonize their geopolitical adversaries as "authoritarian", but empirical evidence shows that the USA and European countries are oligarchies dominated by economic elites and large corporations. Billionaire Donald Trump is the perfect symbol of this, but he's by no means the only one. Ben Norton explains.

That’s what the Bleached Man really is — not a villain, but a symptom. He doesn’t kill. He erases. He makes you forget the moment that broke you. Seems like a gift, right? But once you lose that, you lose the you that was forged through surviving it.

Motel 109 - The Bleached Man (Horror Hotel)

It’s a weathered tale. One passed down from parent to child. A quiet warning about a flat in an old building where something isn’t quite right. Nothing jumps out at you (at first), but the silence in this one gets louder and louder, until suddenly… it’s not just a room anymore.
