Additional Information

To “stamp out” means to suppress or end something that is bad or unpleasant, which in this case is reality. Stamping out reality is closely tied to escapism, which can be defined as a diversion of the mind to escape from reality or routine, such as daydreaming. It is a coping strategy that involves evading the real world in an effort to find refuge, security, and tranquility in a fantasy world.
