I think the ultimate Reddit political candidate would fuse Bernie Sanders, Elon Musk and Neil deGrasse Tyson. Count me skeptical, though it's not the worst combination in the world. But Reddit's core users pride themselves on being forward-looking and they really love technology. "I loving love science."

flowey tries to kill you immediately after those claims, and the game is not subtle about anything, including how it views killing

all in all undertale is never subtle, and has a terrible fanbase, but viewed in isolation it is really sort of sweet (in a kids cartoon way, with a touch more depth by including some more current themes than what was about at least when i was a kid), and it has some some good gameplay at that

In classical societies incels were dealt with through a powerful marriage institution and general bleak authoritarianism, and in prehistoric societies they had extended families where they could get satisfaction from having nieces and nephews even if they couldn't have sons or daughters, but in neoliberalism you don't have either of those ways of addressing them so it's no surprise it's a growing problem

yeah. the alt right (outside the few successful assholes who have wormed their way into the government, not counting this administration for the sake of clarity) has been a failure. charlottesville was supposed to be their march on rome where they would grow into a actual power. instead a women was murdered and the nazis got their collective spines snapped. now most of the big names are weird internet losers screaming from the fringes. if they manage to pull off another super rally in DC. they will get super hosed because the halcyon days are over.

That's incredibly typical of fash. The original Nazis had the same thing which is partly why Hitler was always seeking a hill to die on. And eventually found one in Berlin, 1945.

Does the alt-right love daddy Trumo as much as the boomers do? I explained Qanon to a coworker who was flabbergasted when I told him that despite it starting on 4chan, it’s mostly boomer psychosis fueling it. I thought the alt-right was more about Peterson/Milo/Shernovich/YouTube personalities and the ethnostate, and see Trump as a useful idiot.

Or am I misreading it and they all worship daddy Trump?

Yes. It is an allegorical movie that predicts the upcoming WWIII in Europe, to fight back Islamic invasion. I am being very serious, no joking at all.

The island represents EU. Look at the map does it look like EU flag?



There are early birds and late birds on the island, which represent hardworking countries like Germany and lazy countries like Greece.


The “Anger management lesson” represents the liberalism in Europe that urge people to treat everything with love.


Also, the teacher is one of the few pure-white birds in the movie. This represents the “white-guilty”.

Then there is the doctor, whose skin color matches Israel flag perfectly. The doctor’s name is Weinstein, which is a Jewish name.



Then watch the art that these birds create. All the things hanging on the wall represents left-wing ideology. Diversity, LGBT etc.


However, the red bird is the only one creating artworks that represents heroism, which has been seen as war crime in contemporary European culture.

Then there is the free hug bird. Also this guy is pure white.


The red bird couldn’t cross the road and had to wait so long for an old woman. If she let him cross first, it wouldn’t affect the old woman at all. This is satirical to the low-efficiency of the society in Europe of too much welfare.


Finally, the arrival of a ship of pigs broke the peaceful life of the birds. There is a frame in the movie that shows the world map drawn by the birds, and the only thing on the map is the bird island, which ridicules Europeans ignoring the threat from outside. I couldn’t find a screenshot for this frame on the internet, but it happens when the pigs were attacking the village.

The pigs coming from a ship represents the refugees.



The king of the pigs have a “Muslim beard” that didn’t exist in the original mobile game. And of obviously, some TNT on the ship. Green is the color of Islam, and pig is very sensitive to Muslims. What does a green pig mean?


The angle of his staff looks like the new moon symbol of Islam.



When the birds are shocked by the number of pigs on the ship, the king comforted them by showing those pigs only came to bring joy and love. They did the cowboy dance that the birds have never seen. All the pigs are male, and most of the refugees are young men.


Also, the angle of this hat, the new moon & star symbol of Islam.

However, some of the pigs lust for the female birds, like the rapes conducted by refugees in Germany and Sweden.


Then when the pigs were playing with the eggs, the sheriff of the bird stopped the red bird from being angry and suspicious: “You are making our guests feeling uncomfortable!”


And the bird sheriff looks exactly like Angela Merkel.


Also the red bird striped her cloak off to show other birds that she was standing on the top of another bird, which ridicules the liberals standing on the “highland of morals” to blame anyone against their wills.

Then the story moves on. More and more pigs arrived on the island, even exceeding the number of birds. On one night, they attracted all the birds to a concert and bombed their homes. This is Paris attack.


The pigs stole the bird eggs away. Eggs are the offsprings of the birds. Europe has very low fertility rate for decades, and some say immigration of young people from outside world can save the aging demographics of Europe from bankrupting on welfare. However, the immigrants are using more welfare than what they create in Europe. The percentage of population of native Europeans is constantly decreasing because of muslim immigration. The stealing of eggs is an analogy to the “gradual genocide by immigration with high fertility rate”.

The three birds that knew the problem first are in the color order of Germany flag. Every bird has all three color elements. Look at the eyebrow, hair and beak. This represents in WWIII, Germany will fight on the same side as other European countries.



Another possible interpretation is the black bird represents black people, and the yellow swift bird represents East Asians. They are fighting on the same side against radical Islam. When the birds were building the ship, the yellow bird built it in an incredible speed, like how the economy of China went.

The mighty eagle of course, is the United States. It lives far away and keeps the peace of the bird island, like NATO. All the birds couldn’t fly except the Mighty Eagle, which means Europe has almost lost its militaristic ability since WWII.



However, the Might Eagle is retired/tired and pisses into the Lake of Wisdom. This shows America is not as strong as it was before (Coincidence to #Make America Great Again). The Mighty Eagle has 13 trophies, which represents the 13 states in the beginning of the United States. The eagle wallows in its brilliance before, just like America.

When the other birds need help, the Mighty Eagle didn’t react right away and decides to let the birds fight first. This resembles the prevailing isolationism in America.


After the catastrophe happened, the birds finally realized that the vigilance of the red bird since the beginning is correct. So the red bird became the leader. This represents people of Europe will elect far right wing leaders when things are messed up.


The red bird: “Our ancestors are dinosaurs!” This will be the rise of white-supremacism and new Nazi. The new political correctness became anger instead of love in the new world order.

When the birds arrived onto the pig island, they were surprised that the pigs were still in the form of kingdom. The bird island has democracy, but the pigs don’t. Another perfect allegory. In the pig kingdom there is a big board that writes “Hamnesty International” but this scene flashes out very quickly within a second. I guess this is the most direct parody in the film.

(It’s very hard to find any screenshots from movie in this part. Please go watch the movie if you haven’t)

When the Mighty Eagle watched the birds fighting on the pig island, he finally decided to pick up his glory again and fight for the birds. This predicts the USA will help eventually just as it did in WWI and WWII.

Then of course they won and took their eggs back. There is no doubt that Europe and USA will win WWIII. The red bird is honored as the hero.

Also, this movie indicates a fight back from conservatives in the libral-dominated Hollywood. The script writer Jon Vetti went to the rally of Chris Christie in New Hampshire this Feburary and will probably vote for Donald Trump in November. Political tourists flock to New Hampshire for up-close view

Let’s just wait for the future to prove this. The Angry Birds Movie

how monolithic has the u.s. culture war made the right wing? I dunno but I'm afraid the answer is something like, "yes, their primary issues are all different but diverse right wingers all agree that The Real Enemies Are The Liberals"-- even when leftists are taken as the boogeymen, the rightwing fear-narrative tends to flow through "and if those stupid liberals win again and [give everyone health care e.g.] then [we'll be living in a totalitarian state e.g.]"

Also the republican party really does seem to have its internal discipline down pat.
