      It's much deeper than that... The Earth is a prison planet where our souls were tricked to come here. Now we're trapped in a reincarnation loop where our emotions are used as food for the Archons. Our souls aren't originally from here. The people we can't talk about aka the Globalist scums somehow made deals with these Archons to make the plebs suffer. In return, they have the authority to control the plebs. They're like the prison guards but way worse...

    I loved this movie so much that I was going to buy a hoodie with the obey logo and an Alien face on the front of it.
    I then realised that I was going against the whole point of the movie about hyper consumerism and materialism and buying products that we don't need.
    It also opened my eyes to how pointless it is to buy designer clothing brands so I've switched to buying regular clothes that are comfortable and are much cheaper.

There is far more sophisticated devices in the underground bases. All technology is a substitute for natural abilities that man has repressed.
