this is where Squid Game becomes an interesting commentary.
are we all just playing a bunch of adult versions of squid games, with a winner takes all mentality? and we can all quit if the majority of us agree? or can we? can anyone stop the Squid Game? You can try to kill the others (the brown people or whomever you've scapegoated) since you think "they" are in your way and you want to win when in fact you're losing quite badly. You can try to team up at times. You can try to enact a cheat to win for a little while. Yet can anyone escape or stop it?????......... well, no spoilers, but ....... sure doesn't seem like it, does it
