• they would rather see themselves as warriors against “secret forces of evil” than the lonely forgettable losers they are.

    Tried to find the quote or the episode, but couldn’t. That’s a good line, nonetheless.

      S04E02, ~33min into episode. Conversation between Firecracker and Sister Sage.

      Firecracker:

      Purpose. I sell purpose. These people got nothing. Maybe they lost a job or a house or a kid to Oxy. Politicians don’t give a shit, mainstream media tells them to be ashamed of their skin color, so, well, I bring 'em together, tell them a story, give them a purpose. Which would you rather believe? That you belong to a community of warriors battling a secret evil, or that you’re a lonely, inconsequential nobody that no one will ever remember?
