Like a story can literally beat someone over the head with a theme or moral and people somehow come to the opposite conclusion?

It's like "Tyler Durden is so manly and cool" except every bit of media feels like it's misinterpreted like that now.

"The material conditions are such that the treatlerite strata of society is demanding more treats because their treat allocation has been somewhat reduced.

Therefore a materialist analysis of the political situation is uncalled for given that these people are demanding more treats. Also I got invited to the king's court to speak to him, which further proves my point somehow. The only conclusion that can be gleaned from this is that class conflict, which is based on material conditions, can be abandoned as it is deprecated by the current material conditions and it is trumped by the centrality of idealism."
