I don't Twitter much, but I do have an account I use to occasionally doom scroll, and for the past few days the only posts in my "For You" feed is pro-DeSantis stuff. And ads. I used to get cute puppy posts, I used to get goofy physics posts, I used to get general news stuff, I even got a lot of UK political news stuff. Anyone else notice this, or is it just me? I haven't changed anything about my browsing.

Huh, and I always thought ultra-radical progressivism was something to the tune of -murdering billionaires, taxing the absolute piss out of corporations and using all that money for free food, childcare, healthcare, housing, education and a UBI -every drug, abortion, and everything else you could ever want to do to your own body legal -anything remotely resembling the function of a gun banned if you're not getting paid specifically by the government to hunt animals -the abolition of the police, military presence outside our (open) borders and all religious protections with religion itself barely tolerated poo poo like that. I didn't know actively hiring minorities counted. Edit: do you think I could explode any heads by putting all that on a giant gently caress-rear end sign The Islamic Shock fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Jun 23, 2023 |

Wow, they're not even trying to hide their racism. From the review for Elemental:quote:The film’s main conflict is that, while the earth, wind, and water folks all live together in relative harmony in the wealthy part of town, the fire folk are treated as second-class citizens and are largely segregated from the others, going so far as to have an entire borough (made of brick) to themselves. The inherent problem in this hamfisted anti-bigotry metaphor is that fire is one of the most destructive natural forces known to man, and in Elemental, it is shown to be the case as well. quote:Elemental is the perfect metaphor for Leftist views of diversity. Here you have a mostly peaceful and cohesive society filled with a diverse group of people from completely different backgrounds and cultures. Then, on the other side of town is a relatively small group of people who are literally made of a deadly and dangerous substance with the ability to destroy everything around them just by getting too upset or even accidentally touching someone. Yet, the movie wants to preach that three-fourths of the society is bigoted for wanting to be cautious around them.

That's the lifelong problem with X-Men, where on even weeks there are large groups of mutant villains/antiheroes explicitly planning to take over the world and leave humans to extinction, and on odd weeks there are weird hyper-powered mutants threatening to destroy the world by merely existing with their uncontrolled powers. Traditionally they have to underline that anti-mutant humans are the villains by making them really, really cartoonishly evil racists even by the standards of bigotry metaphor stories. Honestly it works a lot better/less problematic if you give it a generic read of mutants being the young generation old people hate and call troublemakers but they're gonna take over the world sooner or later get used to it old man, but a lot less social relevance in routine youth rebellion stories.

Was listening to a debate by "centrist" Tim Pool and Emma Vigeland and Tim pulls these really aggravating gotchas I see on the right, I don't even know what to call it. Here are two examples : "Should a woman be allowed to have an abortion?" "Yes" "But she's killing her baby and that's wrong" "No, it's her body she can decide what she wants to do with it" "OK so if she was smoking meth should we stop her since it will harm the baby? If you don't think that's murder should we just let pregnant women smoke and do drugs while pregnant?"  "I'm not in favor of censorship" "Well what about having Playboy or Hustler in schools" "Well obviously not that in schools" "But you said you weren't in favor of censorship, these books have the same stuff in it as adult magazines, why is that different?"

It’s all so confused and stupid. There’s a great scene where white superhero Kitty Pride explains racism to a black man by using the n-word to show him how he’s being a racist when he hates mutants, which is a huge revelation that blows him away. Thanks for that insightful commentary, white fetishist Chris Claremont.

A recent X-Men comic has Xavier mention that detail. Stating that while mutants share some traits with persecuted groups unlike them they are actually dangerous, and the X-Men were created to keep other mutants in check.

I mean, that story was in the 'Ultimate' universe, not the main comics continuity. Ultimate continuity also had Captain America being out-of-touch because he wasn't down with incest; it was basically where Marvel siloed off all their edgy bullshit during the 2000s so it didn't infect the main continuity.
