All of the future episodes of The Simpsons show Bart as a loser and Lisa as successful when in reality, Lisa would be working a job she hates to pay off the hundred thousand dollars worth of student debt she got for a worthless degree, but would still talk down to Bart even though he's making more than her as a garbage man or something.
Right wingers know what leftists believe, but we often have a hard time understanding why they believe it. You have to realize that these people are trapped in a delusion, living in an entirely different reality constructed by their mind on top of ours. They genuinely, unironically believe they look like anime girls and the mountain of mind altering drugs big pharma has them on probably makes them even physically see themselves as such.
Something I’ve noticed a lot in recent online discourse is what I’ll call “selective literacy”, allow me to explain:
There’s a group of people online who take things like Jax from Digital Circus and insist that he’s trans because of the context of scenes, themes, and undertones present in the final episode, with no word from the creator whatsoever (I know there’s been a post now but my point still stands). If you dare suggest the contrary, or admit that these things are not as obvious to the general audience or put together well, you’re simply deemed as wrong and ostracized from the online space.
Then on the flip side that same group of people will tell you that IzuOcha isn’t canon, despite the same type of context and theme usage being present in the final episode of MHA. They do so many mental gymnastics to prove their point that you kinda have to wonder if they need to touch some grass.
“IzuOcha can’t be canon because it wasn’t explicitly romantic!” Yet, Jax can be trans without it being explicitly stated in the episode. Do you see what I’m getting at here? Terminally online twt users are so far into their own delusions that they can’t seem to pick up on their own double standards, or admit that their “interpretation” of a series is contradictory to what’s stated in the canon.
I firmly believe media literacy is dead and we killed it. In a world where truth is subjective, everyone has to be correct, and my feelings are always valid, there’s no room to properly discuss things that are objectively true anymore.

the amount of propaganda and brainwashing these kids went through is genuinely scary
how do we even fix them
There's an episode of The Powerpuff Girls that's an unsubtle rejection of Communism where an evil gnome tricks the girls into giving up the things that make them unique so they won't have to work anymore, and hippies celebrate as he makes everyone dress in the same red uniforms. It even ends with the villain saying "I cannot exist in my utopian lie" before he explodes.
Gottfried "Götz" von Berlichingen zu Hornberg, also known as Götz of the Iron Hand, was a 16th century knight and poet who had his right arm blown off by a cannon ball and replaced with a metal prosthesis which he could reportedly write with.
He's responsible for the earliest known use of the phrase "lick my ass", which he said in response to a Swabian general demanding his surrender.
I vehemently despise the whole “be yourself”, “everyone is unique” push that is in schools and Hollywood.
If society shuns you it is likely because you don’t fit into society.
That can be good or bad.
Our society currently somewhat sucks because we stopped ostracizing the freaks from society and now they carry power through the “intolerance paradox” over us normal people.
“Maybe there’s nothing wrong with me at all. Maybe I’m meant for something more.”
The message of every kids movie today is: If you’re having trouble navigating the world, the world is the problem and actually you’re just too awesome and you should never ever work on yourself.
Make a movie about a bunch of fat, mentally ill communists who want to start a revolution, but they can't buy guns because none of them can pass a background check due to being on the sex offender registry, so they spend a week trying to figure out how to use a 3D printer.
