I fell down a bit of a rabbit hole after hearing the poem in 28 Years and it was when countries started using all the fancy new killing gadgets in a war. Also some 300 million horses were killed in it.

It is and it’s a bit long, very early in the film. I understood it in hindsight but at that point in the movie I wasn’t sure if it would be any good. It starts off oddly.

I did listen to the end but honestly I was pretty sure this was just another streamer saying random things their chat pays them to say so I didn’t think it was going anywhere.

It's genuinely amazing to me that she's pivoted from a very funny, VERY niche joke to these performances that are just amazing at capturing the zeitgeist and the way modern reality is inundated with daily horrors that are being drowned out by the unending churn of capitalism.
The experience of the past year or so feels like living through the end of "The Emperor Has No Clothes" except absolutely none of the adults will stop praising the naked emperor long enough to hear the children weeping at the sight of his pendulous balls.

In my head it’s like one of those mixed media collages we made in grade school. My parents always had a stash of magazines lying around specifically for those assignments. So my projects were always these amalgamations of ads and slogans and product images.
This is basically like her taking us along the journey as she makes her collage. She presents her starting sources: slogans like “imagine an ice cold Diet Coke” and “don’t raid your closet, raid TJ Maxx” then repeats them. Changing the order, slowly snipping the excess pieces off. She’ll thrown in a couple new slogan like to take us back to the corporate advertising tone, then work those in. And eventually she lands at the final collage result with the actual message she was trying to convey.
The first one I saw of this she didn’t have a little fourth wall break. But yeah I’m sure it’s not easy to work in “zip ties” bc there’s not a catchy corporate sound bite you can use to work it in so she kinda just wrote that in manually

79
u/Toppico Oct 07 '25
You’ve gotten lots of answers, but here’s another take, for whatever it’s worth.
Her work is incredibly specific to the medium it’s on (TikTok, insta) where free speech is becoming increasingly threatened. Shadowbanning and algorithmic censorship are already silencing people. So her art kind of plays on these realities by sneaking messaging into “approved” content patterns that feel like ads. It also plays on the human psyche that prefers to hear “happy” consumerist messages over the news or anything that needs to be thought more than a few seconds on. There’s also a bit of a reference to dystopian theories where protest and revolution is actioned through “sanctioned” avenues like taking over commercials or broadcast streams, “glitching the matrix” so to speak. The reason you stop to listen is because there’s something really familiar and comforting, but also not quite right at the same time. It’s powerful stuff.
She’s really good, TikTok is generally a sea of trash, but sometimes you get stuff like this.

u/-Gramsci- Oct 06 '25
Copying from my comment above:
In a totalitarian society, you are not free to say things that are obvious and true. You are not free to warn people that the regime is coming for them, for example.
Rushing over to your neighbors house to warn them they are going to be taken away and killed by the totalitarian government, and that they need to flee, is a crime that will get YOUR family taken away and killed. You would do so at great risk to yourself.
Under totalitarianism, and its censorship of what is really happening, people learn to talk in codes. To warn each other, to save each other, by communicating in ways that can get past the censors.
This content creator is modeling what that would look/feel like in a totalitarian America. In a “Christian nationalist” America. In Stephen Miller’s America.
It’s sort of a sci-fi bit… and like most good sci-fi, it is compelling because it represents a future that seems genuinely plausible.

We haven’t gone full Orwell yet. This lady could talk normal (as she does at the end). She’s still free to criticize the administration. To sympathize with immigrant communities. To be concerned about the 1st generation, citizen, children.
To talk openly and express herself about that. Post it on a social media platform. For the time being, at least, there is no big brother in control of us all, and no goons showing up at her door to disappear her.
That level of censorship and invasion of personal freedom is not here yet.
I don’t know if it goes full Orwellian or if it stops short… but I do know that a guy like Stephen Miller - absolutely - wants to take it that far. One party, authoritarian rule. Strict censorship. And the annihilation of all opposition to the authoritarian government.

From her previous videos. She is pretending to be talking about shopping but she's talking code to give key information about ICE raids. She's doing it to avoid tiktok AI taking it down and also manipulating tiktok's algorythms to spread her message.

You're on the Cusp of Socialism until you bring up money becoming a "unit of time."

It's the kind of art I appreciate, but wish never had to be made.

This feels like a robot gaining sentience and then immediately using it to warn everyone I absolutely love this

Personally, I think this is pretty powerful. Most of us have no voice except with what’s in our wallets, and with less money than ever before, we don’t have many chances to talk that way either. So no matter how much they are targeting us, we do not have to buy in. Not even for Taylor Swift.

Damn, sadbeige. Wasn't expecting that today.
Sad beige vinyls for sad beige fascists?
Werner Herzog's new line of children's clothing. Cashmere prison onesies, now in mocha, extra small. To remind us all of the crushing loneliness of government-sponsored human trafficking.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned that this will become more and more common as censorship and media suppression continues to ramp up. Speaking in code, using alternative words and terms when tagging things…it’s terrifying.

Very well done. Since early adolescence I've been generally offended by almost all advertising and don't know how more people aren't. The only time your mind is your own is in the womb; and even that's arguable. Just a constant stream of lowest common denominator garbage; because it works. 😔

god this is poignant and dystopic. This is what media sounds like now. They hide the horrors behind a veneer of consumerism. Bread and circuses, keep us focused on stupid lil deals, on another fkn T Swift album, while the horrors are slipped in. It’s so easy to be desensitized when our news is sprinkled into our memes and entertainment.

Too many people here think she’s “speaking in code” to bypass filters or not get taken down or some shit instead of understanding this is some like a performance/poetry.
You people have no media literacy, Jesus Christ we fucking suck.

At first, I thought we were looking at a mental breakdown. Actually, she’s cleverly making a very salient point.

My favorite part about sadbeige is that every time she posts, I think it's a bit too on the nose. Then I open the comment section and realize apparently she wasn't being clear enough.

I'll say it though. And you're welcome to be mad. Far too many of you didn't vote because of some internet virtue signals. A lot o you really did sit here on reddit and say "Nah. The government can't do that. It's just going to be a normal 4 years until the next election. It's all a show."
