If we as leftists are going to accept a less than half-baked reductive claim that x media is right wing propaganda, then like engage with that. Let's do our own propaganda at least. The Arbiter is Lenin. Either analyze the text or just have it support the agenda. Its fiction!
Why would you just acquiesce to this incredibly reductive reading of Halo? If really was just "chuslop" about "fighting space muslims" and "militarism cool", then like, what are The Flood supposed to be? The Forerunners? This viewpoint reduces and omits so much from the games.
Unfortunately for millennial leftists who grew up with Halo, it’s one of the few media properties that the Right correctly reads as reactionary and belonging to them politically. It is, regrettably, kind of about this. It’s chudslop. Always has been.
And as a "leftist" why would you just accept some incredibly reductive right-wing idea of the games. Like why not engage with the complexity rather than being like "that twitter-grown slogan is correct". Like why even bother saying anything?

@jakebrodes The yellow grass reminds me of Cinco Ranch (this pop-up megaburb in west Houston where I grew up). All the concrete sidewalks and walls and strip malls are made out of that brown-orange Houston clay. In the summer the grass dies and the whole place turns beige
Crazy how in a movie stacked with Guys™️, every one of ‘em made a sumptuous meal out of Oliver Stone’s script. I could pluck practically any scene from JFK (1991) and it’s a 4-alarm fire of Acting
so many things i love about this scene but my favorite is probably every man in charge in the wasteland being stupid af except immortan joe and him being the only one seeing and recognizing how furiosa is basically the smartest (and most dangerous) individual in the room
