hot take you can't be pro nazi punching and anti dehumanizing redneck filth

See, this kind of thing is pretty hosed up ("filth", really?) and transparently classist. Like, the most harmful racists are the ones who are middle/upper class, but people focus on this general idea of a "dumb redneck" just because that sort of person is easier for them to demonize.

edit: I also find that people who do this usually fit into one of two categories. Either they're liberals who have never actually personally known anyone who would be considered a redneck, or they're someone with a personal animus towards them stemming from personal experience (for example having a terrible experience being raised by a fundamentalist christian family). The latter is understandable, but the former is generally just classism.

Like, I'm not saying that these people aren't bad, but rather that they're not really worse than your random Republican suburbanite.

The racial politics of Ghost in the Shell were so nuts it's amazing that anyone thought it would be a good idea. They tried excusing Scarlet Jo being the Major because she's a Japanese woman's brain transplanted into a white woman's body, but racial appropriation and erasure has nothing to do with any of the themes in the actual movie. The racial politics of the world are color blind, the city seems ethnically diverse with no overt prejudice against any group. There's absolutely no reason that makes sense for the corporation to transplant a Japanese woman's brain into a white cyborg body.

It's just another instance of market forces ruining the artfulness of media while simultaneously employing liberal colorblindness to excuse erasure. They cast a few Japanese people to play other members of Section 9, but they were all cameos who didn't even do anything.

The short-term reactionary phase of any social issue will always favor Republicans, because it perfectly fits the timeframe of an election season. Democrats need much more substantial platforms than insisting that everyone be Not Racist or not CisSexist, but we already know that.
