A fifteenth type of liberalism.

:Pelosi-Clap:

I hate the trend of just showing a thing like your tone conveys the significance. I'd have to be so online to understand the context.

Being a politician is so easy these days.

Yim yum!

Oh I know the movie itself is. It's libertarian bullshit and great man theory and shit, but I think if the setting and narrative were more realistic (like what kind of brainworms do you need to believe that being born with something can make you better than someone else.)

But now that you mention it, I've been thinking a lot about the character as written and the character as desired.

Like fanfiction or headcanons. I have a lot of characters I like who are depicted through countries that publish reactionary media. It's all going to be tainted by capitalism to some extent. So what compromises can I make to engage with art and enjoy it.

At what point is it reactionary to idealize a fictional character? I know it's not healthy to do, but fictional characters might be the only role models someone has growing up. Or just the only way to see someone like themselves.

For me personally, I like to think about a character as a real person and then correct the details of the story to make it make sense. Or I'll go fanfic mode and have a category in my brain like "If (problematic character) got his shit together." I like seeing a story and then trying to make the character able to make things right.

Sorry if it feels like I'm rambling.

Oooh, or the collected minerals from Flint's water compressed into a solid mass.

I've enjoyed this site over the years under different user names, but I've felt welcomed every time.

It's funny because at first, I thought if I made a new account and posted as normal, referencing in-jokes and stuff, that I would be seen as suspicious, or even a wrecker if I brought up genuine concerns I had.

But every time, I'm met with genuine openness and the benefit of the doubt and that means a lot.

Fuck intellectual property laws.

That's a good point then. Critical support to comrade Bugs in his half-hearted dedication to animal liberation.
