It also happens to be mathematical satire. I don’t know many kids who when introduced to abstract math concepts (or even variables for the first time) aren’t just done™️.
in almost every other children's book where the main heroine is swept away to a land of whimsy she's shown having a lovely time; braving dangers occasionally, trying to find her way home, sure, but ultimately delighting in the magic around her. meanwhile alice spends her entire time in wonderland like

and icarus said to aphrodite- so this is what i'm for. you have a distant awareness that the day you fall is the day you change. change is so very difficult, isn't it? watching everyone leave? you want the light so desperately, but you fear it. one day it will come for you. one day you will stop mourning the future and start mourning the present, and it will be peaceful.

Does anyone else ever feel this pervasive feeling of wrongness? Like not depressed (at the moment) but just that you are wrong in some weird mental sense.

Don’t cry wolf when there isn’t a wolf. Even if you don’t care about your credibility, chances are you crying wolf will lower others credibility.
I think some of the differences in our opinions come from experience. It is interesting to hear another prospective. I do want to say I mean specifically the riots and looting surrounding the George Floyd protests. Not the protests themselves. I was appalled at what the police did to Floyd, but my understanding of most of the rioting was that it was caused by people who were more interested in chaos than continuing to protest. Now, I am a white woman who lives in a conservative area and while I do consider myself liberal and support BLM, I do not have the experience of being a oppressed race. So it probably was a bit unfair to mention the George Floyd riots. I wanted more to make it less of a political statement by addressing both sides. The George Floyd riots are in no way the same as the Capitol riots and my original posts did suggest they were the same so that is my bad.
This might be naivety, but I don’t believe riots and revolutions should be considered as anything other than the last option. I have seen too many people in person and online that seem too ready to jump on the revolution train. Watching the January 6 riots terrified me. Watching the George Floyd riots terrified me. Both for different reasons but both terrified me. My original post was only a musing about if the prevalence of revolution stories has primed people to accept revolution as a reasonable early step to fixing a government you don’t like instead of protesting, voting, and writing to your lawmakers. (I also know a lot of people who think voting is pointless and just don’t vote and they are far to ready to take up arms for a revolution.)
But I am glad we agree on voting. I just don’t believe that this country is so far gone that we need to be rioting.
I wonder how the prevalence of revolution stories in our (United States) literature and media (hunger games, divergent, etc.) has introduced the idea that revolution is the first thing to do when a system is broken. How has that idea convinced people that rioting may be the correct thing to do (Capitol riot, George Floyd riots, etc.)?
If a situation or descision involves someone’s livelyhood, you need to take a step back before going forward. You owe it to being a good human to care enough to not run through the traps if the one the traps affects isn’t you.
