Here's a mock dialogue between Shiva (Hindu god of destruction) and the Phantasm (an anti-civilization super-villain and nemesis of DC Comics' fictional American masked vigilante Batman) about civilization maladies regarding politics, traffic, media, and dystopia.
====
SHIVA: My greatest paranoia regarding capitalism on Earth is industrialization-related eco-pollution.
PHANTASM: The eco-terrorist Poison Ivy attacks people who endorse mainstream industries.
SHIVA: Eco-terrorism is not a cure for civilization excesses...
PHANTASM: Nevertheless, it stirs our imagination regarding the claustrophobia created by male ambition.
SHIVA: When I think about nature/wildlife programs broadcasted on National Geographic, I feel happy!
PHANTASM: Media circulation of subjects relevant to the arts and sciences requires funding...
SHIVA: A democratic system ensures the proper functioning of representation-rich governance.
PHANTASM: Perhaps, but what about rebelliousness and terrorism?
SHIVA: If Americans did not care about bureaucracy, they wouldn't elect finance-specialists like Donald Trump.
PHANTASM: How do you know Americans did not simply elect a 'capitalism-baron' for quick results?
SHIVA: I don't think the Trump-election was a 'shortcut to happiness'; I think Trump is a healthier Ross Perot.
PHANTASM: Candidates such as Ralph Nader and Ross Perot simply represent the disenchanted.
SHIVA: You can't substitute politics with human drama...
PHANTASM: Sentient beings will always appreciate the creative value of clowns and jesters!
SHIVA: There's a difference between 'performance-art' and 'malady.'
PHANTASM: That's why we need religion...
SHIVA: I agree with you on that point, which is why I appreciate EWTN (Catholic-TV).
PHANTASM: More and more women wear sneakers walking to work; capitalism changes labor!
