@EthanVanSciver I’m starting to realize he isn’t making an alternative to the mainstream at all. He’s making an alternative to crowdfunding and ComicsGate.
Not a very high-quality alternative, but clearly a lucrative one.
@RMBee@speks185 Then there’s no problem with Odysseus pulling out a Glock to kill the cyclops, right?
“It’s a myth! It was never real!
Anything goes!”
Star Trek also isn’t real, but you haven’t been able to believe Trek for a decade. This is no different.
Verisimilitude is SEEMING real.
@RMBee@speks185 Is that not why “historical fealty” is required?
There is no verisimilitude in Luhrmann’s movie. He doesn’t present it, and the (limited) audience it’s intended for doesn’t ask for it.
Nolan, however, (usually) takes verisimilitude to an extreme.
@RMBee@speks185 If Odysseus pulls out a Glock and shoots the cyclops, you would say exactly what you always say about modern Star Trek:
“I don’t… believe it.”
@real_artisan@GadSaad@ZohranKMamdani The ENTIRE speech highlights the contributions of Muslim workers in NY.
“Let us do so proud of the work that we do. Of the city that we helped to build.”
That is exactly what is being lampooned in this post, moron.
@real_artisan@GadSaad@ZohranKMamdani Dude, you don’t have to be a historian to read.
You can Google “the record” as easily as I can, but start with his Ramadan speech about the Muslims that built New York:

@real_artisan@GadSaad@ZohranKMamdani Mamdani continues to claim that Muslims helped build New York and to exaggerate Islams historical impact on the city.
It’s revisionist history.
Propaganda, one might say.
@velvetbulldozer@soldjer21@jpalmiotti Let’s assume for a moment that I believe everything said in this video. This video does not support your initial claim. Are you making a NEW claim now?
This is exactly why arguing with leftists is tiresome. Distraction. Evasion. Nonsense.
@velvetbulldozer@soldjer21@jpalmiotti Well, you don't have any at all... so let's just both agree that you're making up fictional nonsense and call it a day.
