I can't imagine a worse living human being to lord a new panopticon

It's like if Trump invented Bush's/Obama's domestic surveillance network, no preface of altruism or justice with a dumbass paneer of competency, just a statement of weird cruelty

It's pretty cute that the first big rear end villain of these Disney movies is some nerd who hyperventilates about Third World birthrates, so he can gently caress the grim reaper

Thanos has the right ideas.

Everyone who opposes him is simply a negatively geared slumlord/lady.

Yes I'm talking about you Mr Tony Stark. Plus your Avenger friends. I know you spend all your hero wages to fund real estate investments while talking out the other side of your mouths about "saving the world".

More like saving your investment yield due to housing demand.

The Avengers are a seemingly for profit private military, they are constantly at best:

The weirdest part about Captain America 1 was that an American superman in ww2 never fought the Nazis. He fought the secret Hydra, who have dull platonic ideals of Balance and Death and capital E evil, like Thanos or whatever

Nah that's more bureaucratic indifference.

Think Brazil more than 1984.

If a system operates as viciously punitive to the poor for no reason, the personal intention or lack there of is immeterial and it should be stopped

Also, with indigenous Australians comprising the world's most imprisoned population, it doesn't really matter whether or not the given functionaries responsible for these conditions are wilfully or unwilfully attacking them because they're racist or not, they simply are attacking them, and should be stopped

That 100 year old scientist David Goodall who got fired from Sydney University because he kept trying to kill himself threw up his hands and said "fine, I'll just buy a suicide in Switzerland" and is now dead

There's also the risk of someone opting to kill themselves not because they want to die on an objective level, more that they want to die because of it society is poo poo and treats them so badly.

There's a procession of assessment and doctoral opinion though, in a healthcare model of killing your self

If they're giving it away can I get a chunk of ABC2 and ABC3. I think that's where the real money making is, advertise direct to children and teens.

Or by 'give away' do they mean 'give to rich people'?
