@BrickFlipped @luckynumrotrece @KountFuji Again, there is a very direct way of expressing this sentiment without calling dygenics preferred.
Point I am making is that this is a PR disaster.
The left finally has real potential to be something, but it is fragile. The mic shouldnt be go to those who cant handle it right.

[dostoevskystan @dostoevskystan]

@BrickFlipped @luckynumrotrece @KountFuji "sound physically and mentally," is not a difficult concept and fascists dont have anything to do with it. Bringing ableism into the conversation(as she does) is pointless because noone points at a disabled person who takes care of themselves and claim they are not fit.

[dostoevskystan @dostoevskystan]

@BrickFlipped @luckynumrotrece @KountFuji Adding onto this the right is not uniquely fixated on athleticism. Machismo within cuba and the whole ussr olympics obsession all exist. The soy-ification of the left is very much a 21st century concept.

[dostoevskystan @dostoevskystan]

@BrickFlipped @luckynumrotrece @KountFuji "fitness is a measure of relative disposability under capitalism" and "our task is to not become more usable to the ruling order" sounds like she is doing just that. Everyone supports being fit and just because fascists happen to do too doesn't mean we shouldn't.

@BrickFlipped @luckynumrotrece @KountFuji Clips like this will matter. Woke 1 was real, and as a straight young man, I saw 2010s body positivity movement push my friends right. Fitness is tied to beauty and status for them (yes, body dysmorphia is bad), and treating its abandonment as progress will alienate them.

[dostoevskystan @dostoevskystan]

@mftwmedia @Socialist_Wins "The more dysgenic the better" and "fitness is a measure of relative disposability under capitalism" sound like 3 letter agency psyops made solely to tank the left. No amount of PR can fix statements that detached from reality imo.

@Alf3k @SpecificNY The quoted post is "tarrifs or this"...

@Augustus9974 @21Naija (had to cut down a lot because of char limit) tldr of the cut parts was that talking about immigration without accepting that immigrants themselves have to conduct themselves in a manner worthy of acceptance is nonsense, and personally, i felt like nolan found the right balance.

[dostoevskystan @dostoevskystan]

@Augustus9974 @21Naija I found it compelling that responsibility fell on both hosts and guests instead of a pure "treat guests well" narrative. Odysseus’s revenge is divine wrath for mistreating the hosts, but the scenes prior show that had the hosts kicked them, they too would have faced Zeus's wrath.

[dostoevskystan @dostoevskystan]

@Augustus9974 @21Naija "downfall of society when we disrespect our place as guests and hosts alike", the suitors were guests who overstay their welcome by well more than a decade. Half of the movie is Telemachus arguing with Penelope that she should kick them all out.

@PaddingtonWins @jonathanmb32 Absolutely, Raiders and ET are incredible box office achievements but when compared to a dense r rated b/w courtroom drama making nearly a billion or an rrated odyssey adaptation(under direct fire from Elon Musk and the RW sphere) I feel like the latter edges it out by just a bit

@WayneDeGotham1 @precisoassistir Achilles cannot be an absolute unit since he famously disguises himself and passes off as a for women for a long time in Skyross court

@IntranetComedy @PianoEmeritus @n0tmagicmike @Stuntman_Mik3 Also if I am not wrong when Bruce gets on the Bat-cycle thing Gordon asks him who hes going to and he says Rachel(cant blame anyone for not getting this Bale Batman has a gnarly voice)

@wongthink @mehdirhasan 231 million muslims in Pakistan and 172 million muslims in India. Cherrypicking your favourite statistics doesn't make them relevant.

@Irex2023 @Geiger_Capital You do realize that the reason companies prefer china is because there is no way in hell that the US labour laws permit that level of mistreatment and bare wage right
