but looking at the two messages, the one on the left is aggressive and hostile and my emotional response is to automatically resist it. the one on the right is sending the message that it's all a wonderful party/eternal social event we just have to let go and join.

the one on the left inspires me to find friends and fight it.

the one on the right makes me feel like resisting is anti-social and that everyone else is already inside, having a good time, so why make trouble. it's insidious and anesthetizing as hell.

Yeah, but at the time, without the historical context, most people probably just thought it was inspiring badass futuristic shit. Maybe in a decade corporate memphis will be gone aside from neo-neonazi PFPs
