  • Did you know that twitter nazis have been spamming the white-pharaoh image? It’s also silly. Most people would look at that and laugh. But it’s a way to get a conversation started that can very easily be hijacked by a bad actor to get people to believe something really horrible. The same way we would use the provocative phrase “Stalin shouldn’t have stopped at Berlin” to start a wider conversation about Western Europe and the USA’s complicity in fascism and how the USSR were the only ones actually destroying fascism.







  • the-deserter obviously just ideologically correct and not at all a misogynist/misanthrope

    Serious:
    EEAAO Waymond probably the only guy to figure out how to be a man in a good way
    Ram and Bheem from RRR are both really good characters. Ram especially has a lot going on and the conflict between friendship and duty to revolution/political activity actually is something you can apply to your own life
    N.J. from Yi Yi (the main character) isn’t exactly a positive role model, but I guess there’s a lot I can project into that character that I learned from and find useful to reflect about





  • I wish people/libs could see how self evidently different life in the ruling class is compared to the lives of most of humanity, and how that will clearly lead to radically different behaviors and ideals.

    I’d say it’s the opposite. Most media is about rich people, created by rich people, performed by rich people. Not billionaires, sure, but far from having much in common with the vast majority of the working people in the world. Yet to Western libs, that’s the world they imagine they live in. It’s the “success mindset” where all the media they see reinforces a specific vision of the world that’s basically only inhabited by (at the very least) upper middle class successful people (and characters who are “working class” still live in huge houses and look neat, wear good clothes, etc). The issue for these libs is that when they look at the actually existing bourgeoisie and they don’t match the whitewashed version from the media, they resolve the cognitive dissonance by saying that the fictional version is actually more real than the real one.
