I saw a creator say that gen z isn’t obsessed with morality they’re obsessed with punishing people and I wanna take it a step further and say the problem is cosplaying God as a coping mechanism for how little control they collectively have in the real world. It’s punching down.
It's illiberal and reactionary to say "America deserved 9/11" because this endorses collective punishment. People aren't their nationality. It's the exact same logic that says Palestinians had it coming for October 7th.
How Russian propaganda works abroad, in one sentence per layer:
For the right: "Russia defends tradition." For the left: "NATO caused this." For the pacifist: "Weapons prolong war." For the cynic: "Everyone lies equally." For the tired: "It's complicated."
Five contradictory messages, one output: do nothing.
Russian propaganda doesn't need you to love Moscow. It needs you paralyzed — and it has a script for whichever ideology you brought to the table.
Whenever a take ends in "therefore, inaction," check the return address.
if my husband and i got in an argument and then he went to the garage to box to let off steam i would absolutely be freaked out what are you talking about
@iBDWSSBM Hey man, I don't understand your reaction and if I were hbox I would have just rested you but I'm not hbox and he chose to give you the reset out of (I assume) friendship. I don't think you were being malicious and it sucks other people are using this chance to shit on you.
@UkrainianAna Um there's literally a scene where puppies are tossed off a cliff? How is that catering to modern sentimentality? Also dogs have been man's best friend since before Homer's time, people have always clearly loved their dog companions.
@Tenayuca2427@theo_nash This is you reading into it because Nolan doesn't say how Helen got to Troy. So we don't know if she got there by the Trojans breaking xenia
