started watching samurai jack for the first time since childhood, and it seems like its about the destructive Leviathanic powers destroying the many peoples of the world and casting them all into exile. jack is the ultimate figure of exile, in his becoming-messiah. an out of place exile realizing exile has become the generalized condition of all. he unites just as much as he unbinds. his struggle against aku is the struggle of life to grasp its own destiny against the forces of history that conquer one another, enslave one another and alienate us from each other.

its protecting its own systems which it has designed your life around. the roads and schools, factories, farms, oil rigs, and infinite cubicles at infinite offices.

Big Brother is only ever protecting the version of you it tried to create.
