Nah, we confront public bigotry IN PUBLIC and defeat it IN PUBLIC.

Now I'm reminded of those "Tuttle Twins" books that Hannity pushes on his radio show (and Rush also did, before he died). I don't know anything about them but they're probably not as stupid as the "Rush Revere" books where Rush uses a talking horse to teach kids about (whitewashed) American history using time travel.

But Christianity is the funniest because it's so explicitly anti-wealth. God literally kills people for hoarding wealth and rich people just skim over that part.

I figured that Kirk Cameron’s Christmas movie was going to be misguided poo poo regardless. What I didn’t expect was finding out that it twists Christianity around to justify crazy holiday consumerism. I thought he would at least go after consumerism for shifting the holiday away from Jesus. Evangelical Christianity always finds a way to make money for the insiders.

Before he went insane and became a chud himself, I watched Brad Jones' Midnight Screenings review of that movie and it was the most hilarious thing in the world as he slowly came to grips with Cameron's consumerist insanity. And then to find out less than 5 years later he basically became Kirk Cameron himself, fuuuuuck :negative:

The justification for that one from right wingers is that "Well he said that he would give all his money to the church and then he didn't, if he had said he was keeping some for himself it would have been perfectly fine!"

Yeah, I'm talking about the Cinema Snob. Basically in 2018 when Channel Awesome was falling apart after the revelation of the horrific abuse by its senior staff of its various video producers all at once by a few of them going "enough", literally everyone walked away from the site and away from Doug Walker (aka The Nostalgia Critic) except for Brad Jones. He was the one person who looked at all the allegations against Doug, his brother Rob, and Mike Michaud, Channel Awesome's owner and said "Yes, these are my people. I am staying with them and going all-in on this sinking ship of fools", including destroying several long-time friendships with other producers like Allison Pregler (Obsurus Lupa) and Lewis Luvhog (Linkara) in the process AND also losing several real life long-time friends over it too like the whole Midnight Screenings crew.

Over the intervening few years since his entire social circle abandoned him for deciding to the one person out of 50 to stick it out with a group of well-documented abusers, he's slowly either drifted rightward politically or merely went mask off and is now just seen as a loving rear end in a top hat who betrayed all his friends for the sake of the goddamn Nostalgia Critic of all people.

I mean his Twitter follows are a now a slew of chuds and chud actors like Kevin Sorbo and Gina Carano and he routinely now makes jokes about cancel culture, being woke, and getting triggered, so if walks like a chud, talks like a chud, and pals around with a bunch of chuds...

None of that is true at all, you can skim his twitter and you won't see poo poo about "Cancel Culture" or SJWs or whatever. He made fun of people who called Green Book racist without having seen it because he liked that lovely movie because he's a boring succlib. Like half of his Snob videos from the past 5 years have been making fun of pro Trump movies or Christian propaganda films.

Like he's still lovely for standing by Doug instead of the other CA people, don't get me wrong, but my brain is full of too much information about internet people and I'm too pedantic to not correct this lol. It's like when Louis CK came back from sexpest exile and everyone pretended his new standup routine was chud propaganda because they were already predisposed to dislike him.

It's sufficiently leftist to be marked for death by the fash. Are you just emerging from a 20-year coma?
Like have you seriously not noticed Republicans calling Pelosi a radical Communist and talking about the American radical left?

Or are you like seriously just ignorant of fascism in general? If you are not sufficiently fascist, you are a radical enemy of it. That's why we are where we are today, in part. Because Conservatives demand ever increasing performative actions of extreme devotion and general extremism. The overton window must constantly shift rightwards because any sort of 'wait, maybe we've gone too far this time' is immediately shouted down as leftist claptrap.

I was stating the bare minimum reasons why I am very much aware of what the fash want to do to me, in response to a deranged post wishing death or torture upon me for... I honestly don't even loving know what the gently caress. I'm an anti-capitalist leftist who wants radical solutions for the radical problems. I believe the only good fascist is a dead fascist. The things I want done are things I generally am not allowed to say on these forums. I was simply pointing out that the mere fact I am not a fascist is sufficient political grounds for execution. As is being a Jew, as is my atheism, as is having bipolar disorder, as probably is my genetic predisposition to high cholesterol.
Fascists murder people. That is what they do. That is what they are. They do not really need reasons for it, because by definition fascism is about violence for the sake of violence. There are a billion 'valid' reasons why fascists would want to torture and/or murder people like me, and people like you, and all these 'reasons' are ultimately just excuses because the only real reason is because they like it. Because they are monsters who have decided to opt out of the human race and to worship violence and death.

EDIT: And Crow, I feel you. I love how the Cinema Snob did a lot of 80s sleazy horror and proper exploitation movies that other reviewers just don't really cover. And he was, and I assume still is, a funny and talented dude. But gently caress him for sticking with that piece of poo poo Doug.

I suppose that’s a fair call. I appreciate that at the end of the day we can all still agree that “gently caress Brad Jones” is a cool and good position to hold nowadays.

The higher ups at Fox News must have gotten the memo that ending the forever war in Afghanistan was popular, or that Trump was largely responsible, because the bit I heard from them today was "Biden pulling out of Afghanistan isn't the problem, that's fine, it's how he completely screwed up the evacuation of translators and Americans and pro American Afghans."

So the party of "bomb them all, let Allah sort it out!" and "Just turn the nation in to a glass parking lot it's what all the RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS deserve" suddenly cares about people living in Afghanistan? Fox can eat the corn from my week-old poo poo with their bad faith criticism.

Like I said. If Donnie had abandoned people over there they’d be cheering and bending over backwards to justify it. I do expect the winds to change when more permanent settlement of the refugees starts up though. Suddenly they’re not going to like them again.
