Also, slaves in Fury Road and in American history are absolutely comparable, especially by the standards we outlined here, i.e. whether or not they could have achieved some kind of revolutionary agency.
I just explained how they were entirely different, you offer no counter yet say they are comparable. Slaves brought culture with them and adapted it to a new continent. These women are likely the daughters of the women in the room next door. There were no signs they practiced or adopted the religion nearby or even know what a religion is. They also weren't surrounded by 'civilized' men to influence them.
What makes you think they lack the cognitive capacity to conceptualize oppression, especially given the fact that they have access to the language their captors use (and, unlike African slaves, they actually can read and write)?
I just said there is no reason for them to be knowledgeable enough to read and write, yet you ignored it and continued down this path. The men in the military don't show any signs of education nor literacy but the women have access to it?
What makes you think they couldn't recognize or experience oppression, and know it to be so?
humans are relative creatures by and large so i'm not entirely sure that they would recognize it nor have any basis of what any other life could be. studies say women are 'less happy' now with all their personal freedoms than when they were restricted, obviously the survey/data cannot be taken purely at face value but there is something there.
"Miller doesn't show me, therefore it does not exist."
well, no. he does show 'me,' you keep citing it(the writing). he also shows it with Furiosa's character. It just doesn't add up. And nothing makes me thinks he has put this much thought into this film, conceptually, since it's not this kind of film at all. It's a brutish action film with feminist overtones to say it lightly. it's not
Dogtooth in relation to language, for instance.
your position is "here is 1 piece of evidence that supports my theory" while seemingly ignoring all the counter evidence, don't get how you act like you have this mountain of evidence to support your position.
What makes you think these women couldn't have developed their own culture, given that everyone in the Mad Max universe lives in a world that presumably contains traces of the world prior to nuclear apocalypse?
if that was true then those idiots wouldn't be huffing chrome for some stupid ass reason and acting like juvenile metal creatures. but sure, they maintained a culture similar to ours
