Are vampires a metaphor for capitalism? Maaaaybe. Parasitism is only one aspect of the vampiric condition, and like you pointed out when you discussed Gilda, it’s not an inescapable part. I love Rice’s vampires, because she focused on what happens when you put humans in inhumane conditions. Capitalists aren’t unthinking monsters like the vampires of old. They’re humans thrust into circumstances which encourage some of our worst instincts. Capitalism drives us to ignore our own morality, humanity, and capacity for love in order to survive. We hurt and exploit each other not because it’s an inescapable part of our nature but because it’s the easiest way to get what we need, it’s the way our society is built, there’s a perverse sort of fulfillment in it. We can live without parasitism, but it’s a constant uphill battle. We fall back into it again and again. We find little ways to cope, to make it morally “OK”. Not sure where I’m going with this other than thanks for making me think!
i think what ur talking about is a great point for exploration of current day vampires! the chapter in the neolib. gothic book that discusses “only lovers left alive” might be interesting for you - the author discusses those exact themes :)
афигеть на 21:16 услышав как вы произносите «Moretti» подумал wtf wait a second they must be russian speaking зашёл в ваш инст и оказалось что угадал, хахах суперские видео, вы крутая!! :)
Я читала книжку, где вампиризм одновременно пытались выдать как метафору инаковости, так и увязать его с элитизмом и капитализмом, в итоге вышло так себе. А еще там было слишком оптимистичное представление о человечестве, но это уже отступление от темы.

I am just here to bash on capitalism, but the captions. You have captions. Real, readable, correct captions. Thank you. So much. Just thank you.
