  • When the implied threat behind that call is letting the fascist wannabe dictator into office, yes it’s a dangerous waste of time.

    I’m a Palestinian here in America and I feel fucking violated by how many people are ready to let me hang by the klansman’s rope on the excuse of being mad about what Israel is doing to my cousins in the Levant.

    Meanwhile the man they’re supposedly so mad at for his inaction has been pressing Israel on de-escalation, negotiating prisoner swaps, and negotiated Gaza the right to access their own offshore natural resources to use the revenue for their own development.

    Biden at his worst is doing more for the Palestinian community than these supposed allies of ours are doing at what they insist are their best.

    What else is there left to conclude except that vote hostagers prefer Palestinians dead rather than living, dead Palestinians don’t call them out for enabling the circumstances that let Israel and racist Americans get away with tormenting and killing us.


  • I feel like every time I hear about the swiss government I hear something different about what it’s structure is and how it is meant to operate.

    This has lead me to conclude the swiss government is in fact a series of investment bankers all furiously accusing the others of being the feds out to tax their income.
















  • I call it the Omniman/Homelander distinction

    That is to say, is the deconstructing work made by someone who gets the message of the work being deconstructed or not.

    Omniman is a complex look at the stated origin of Superman being sent to earth, and the paternalistic nature of what exactly Jor’El wished for Clark to do with the benefits of Earth’s environment, and also a look at how even despite that, Superman would have been capable of learning to be a true hero without that guiding hand of a human upbringing, and that some of his spark isn’t nature or nurture but just that drop of empathy it takes to make someone see helping others as worth it for its own sake.

    Homelander is a wankfest about how bad superhero comics are written by a guy who wrote an entire series about how he believes everyone secretly wants to be a murder rapist and is just “brainwashed by societal bullshit” to not acknowledge it.
