If you don’t steal from your boss, you’re stealing from your family.

This is actually hilarious.

This needs more love.

Mayb I’ll make a full post of it later for the whole pasta.

Here’s the thing, you said “Azov are Nazis.” Are they in the same family? Yes. No one’s arguing that.

As someone who is a political scientist who studies democracies, I am telling you, in political science, noone calls Azov Nazis.

:liberalism: We need a strong Republican party! They’re reasonable people.

Another one I hate is that Disney basically told us that Movie Thanos’s* ecofascist plan was right and worked but is still bad. In Endgame society hasn’t full on collapsed from the sudden death of half the planet, people are just sad.

Falcon and the Winter Soldier is far worse. It starts with the premise that the Earth was better for the five years after the Snap. There was housing and food for everyone! Everyone banded together! Not like there were terrible structures in place which would have perpetuated inequality and famine in favor of greed.

And the pseudo-Anarkiddies** who are the villains preach about the communal good, giving power back to the people, etc…then bomb a random building because reasons. Plus the Anarkiddies’ reasoning doesn’t exactly make sense. They were people who enjoyed the 5 years with half the planet dead, but they got moved into concentration camps when the rest of the people came back? Wouldn’t it make way more sense to keep people where they were, then have the newly houseless people returned from the dead be put in concentration camps? No, because we have to have the main villains say “Thanos is right”. Which in the fiction of the universe, he was.

*Comic Thanos’s plan was way cooler. Killing half the universe wasn’t his major plan, it was just a thing he did on a whim because he wanted to impress Lady Death. Dude was crazy and it didn’t even work. Rational eco-fascist nut face from the movies is #notmythanos.

**Love for my anarchist comrades, was one once. But it’s funny call these pseudo-anarchists kiddies.

What they’re going after is just not their right.

People having individual choices can’t be sacrificed for the greater good, c’mon. Definitely no hidden ideology in there.

No matter if it’s free will or deterministic, all philosophy is just French guys trying to justify pedophilia.

California is the most hated state.

Should it really be “damnthatsinteresting” if it’s not at all a shock revelation?

The original Digimon is about the death of imagination and childhood innocence in a capitalist system. Before the jump into the digiverse, they live in 90s Japan (Tokyo maybe?), it’s all grey tones, and every one of the children’s parents is distant, many of them because of issues of capitalism. The Digiverse provides a literal escape from 90s capitalist Japan, but also a mental escape from the monotony of growing up to reproduce capitalism. No I will not elaborate, and Wizardmon goes hard.

Lindsay Ellis’s shit takes aside, she makes a very good case for parodying fascism (Nazism in particular). Fascists haven’t appropriated Mel Brooks’s lampoons of fascism. They unironically love American History X and sing “Tomorrow Belongs to Me”. Nazis do not love “Springtime for Hitler” in the Producers or Jojo Rabbit because it makes them look silly and dumb. Fascists don’t have a coherent ideology and build their ethos around telling themselves they are badass warriors, so parodying fascism by making them sing and dance like clowns is good.
