I think it was pretty telling how the trailer is framed as if the 1 day itself and not the rest of the year as being the dystopia

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

Idk them doing that does kinda blow up in their face and allow a fascist like bane to take power in the movie. That doesn't exactly seem like an endorsement of the idea imo

It's probably cause they saw the criticism some people have of the part in the dark knight about using a surveillance state to catch the joker being right wing and because they're extremely media illiterate just extrapolated that to mean all his movies are for some reason

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

Hello I am the president of a country whose economy depends on consumer spending. My two major initiatives so far have been a sales tax on everything and then a war that sent all prices skyrocketing

The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.

Some people call this "sane-washing" but I think a better description is when the real Trump falters, they sub in a fake, imaginary Trump into their stories. Beyond cleaning up untidy remarks to make them sound more coherent: "Trump super concerned with nuclear proliferation" is an imaginary guy

I think people believe the point of progressive politics is to try to convince malicious, bad-faith bigots to not be violent, instead of defanging their movements and making them politically irrelevant. It's not about "saving the souls of the lost". It's about making sure their harm is mitigated.

It's worth keeping in mind that Kansas has a strict voter ID law, so this law has essentially instituted a poll tax on all trans people in the state because they have to pay to get their ID replaced.

karl marx's criticism of social unfreedoms obfuscated behind formal political and marketplace freedoms continues to be the most effective criticism of liberalism and its failures in history tbh. history will only see the nytimes cheerleading for war in west asia, as it remembers w/ iraq

Discord served its purpose almost flawlessly by 2021 and then constantly made itself worse over the ensuing years The constant drive to change products that serve their purpose perfectly well really does exemplify the problems with an "endless growth" mindset

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

The reason it was the red pill is cause in the 90s the pill for estrogen was red. Also the movie straight up pre dates the political parties having those color associations cause that didn't happen till after the 2000 election

You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

The vaccine autism thing is bullshit but even if you believed it, it seems incredibly fucked up to then believe that raising child death rates is some sort of worthwhile trade-off to reduce autism rates

I do think the key for things like Home Alone, Muppet Christmas Carol, etc. is that the actors fully commit to the bit I feel like similar films made now lean too heavily into doing it ironically

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Have you ever heard of ocpd? It's similar and has a high comorbidity with autism. Plus if you do the rituals cause of internal logic instead of cause of anxiety it'd be more likely ocpd although it's possible to have both

Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now. Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

the point of Andor isn't "only anarchists are right" or "only terrorism works" or "only liberals defeat fascism" it's that birthing a movement that can destroy an imperial regime requires a diversity of tactics and people all willing to throw their lives away for the cause
