we went through 1000+ years of feudalism and managed to switch away once material conditions made the old ways unfeasible, just saying

Yeah, at a certain point, capitalism will fail just as all previous human organizations have failed. Fascism will certainly rear its ugly head, however I think the material conditions in this country would make a harder shift in that direction impossible. Namely, the fact that such a large portion of our country isn't white, including our armed forces. White people are barely hanging on as a majority at all, so any right-wing shift that attempted to (further) split the country along racial lines basically must fail.

At least, I hope so.

Imhotep was not a Pharaoh, but he was considered a genius. Among other things he is believed to be the first person who used columns in building.

I thought it was a reference to that Ozymandias poem about the futility of human legacies against the erosion of time.

remember when "Never Forget" got branded on literally everything it could be branded on?

I was working at Wendy's, and they starting putting 9/11 poo poo on the takeout bags and I remember even at that young age thinking there was something macabre about using 9/11 to sell hamburders

It was definitely the marketing that crack/pinged me into realizing nobody actually cared about anything but money.

Like, everyone was so serious about the deaths and sadness, the national went through this strange time of mourning. And then they sold hamburders, and I felt like the I was the only one around who found that disgusting. Everyone else just accepted the fact that lives were forfeit to the needs of profit.

Jesus, so many youngsters.

I was in high school, and my immediate reaction upon the nerdiest teacher ever bursting into my math class to tell us "Someone flew a plane into the World Trade Center" was 'Oh this has to be some sort of prank.' I remember the audible gasps in the school library as we watched the second plane hit live on television. The next day, my mother hid the front page of the NYTimes from us because it was a picture of a man leaping to his death. Now, every day is a constant barrage of murder by our own police force.

It's so weird, looking back, at how easily horrified we once were.

Edit: to be clear, I lived less than an hour from Manhattan and a large % of kids had parents that worked in the area including my own who worked only a dozen or so blocks from the towers.

Like, between the fact they named the evil corporation Vought, that it's founder story is obviously Werner von Braun, and hell the entire corporate image management premise, accidentally naming a character "Stormfront" and not making her a Nazi would be outright jarring. I'd initially taken the show as being a sort of homage to Watchmen but it's turning out to be way more pointed and relevant.

Watchmen was very explicitly about the cold war, so while a lot of it still remains relevant, the entire premise is very, very dated.

That said, Rorschach could just be copy/pasted into a modern comic and be a stand in for the alt right basement dwellers. poo poo, all he'd have to do is shoot up a school and he'd be perfect

I don't know that I've ever seen Moore state it specifically, but I thought "Rorschach" was a reference to how the character's claim to moral objectivity is completely horseshit, since it is his subjective experience that determines whether something is good or evil, and that's always shifting, just like the spots on his mask.

Whole lotta people do tell on themselves by liking him though.

Yeah, this is what I took away from it as well. Rorschach was a dude who claimed absolute moral superiority, yet it was his own hosed up brain that interpreted that morality the same way that humans bias law and morality subconsciously to their own whims.
