Tiger King

Why is TIGER KING so popular right now? Well it’s amazing to watch yes. And it is a new release. Those are aspects to consider. But there is something else going on too. It’s about captivity. Our whole planet of humans at this time has the communal experience of wrestling with the idea of being captive. Some of us are rebelling or saying it’s a hoax, or media hype:those people are worried about profits and maintaining their incomes. Those folks might not be feeling captive right now. But most of the human race right is captive in a position of realizing we are in the service of power mad people using ideology to keep us locked up. The primordial images of tigers locked in cages is touching us emotionally/ allegorically/literally/symbolically en masses as we all freak out at this documentary. Throughout all the vengeful reactionary self-serving drama in TIGER KING there is always the animals in captivity. Wealth depends on the captivity of the masses and not allowing them freedom. We forget we are the beautiful wild being used to make money and feed elitism and egos. Most people have been born in captivity, just like the tigers, so they do't know there is another way to live. Is it possible we might analyse how we live during this quarantine? Is it possible we might look at how we live differently? At the very least might we support the idea of having emergency services that serve everyone, healthcare for everyone? Making a living for everyone? #tigerking #captivity  #whoownsyou #caged
