@Psychic_Driving Saw a showing with my dad recently, it was fun!

Will admit I was taken aback at the Lois Lane song but maybe that’s on me for not watching enough 70s cinema

@bornposting I low-key think that even tho season 5 should have been the end (if not season 3), it still keeps a decent clip of quality up through season 7 (I’ve got a soft-spot for S7 in particular) and even afterwards still has some fun monster of the week eps here and there

@LanaMaoRey I hate advertising so much it’s unreal and it’s one of my crank takes that comes up the most often irl

[Gryff @Gryff_Fish]

@_The_Wub_ tbf I think people use that line because it is true that stuff teen girls like does get shit on by broader culture and that happened with twilight, but that said, twilight is also some mormon bullshit

@HordeBanana Which is imo a useful tool when working out an understanding of those professional classes who are aligned with but somewhat outside of the classical owner-worker relationship

[Gryff @Gryff_Fish]

@HordeBanana This is something I’ve also tried to work on myself

IIRC M+E sometimes use the phrase ‘men of talent’ to refer to that class of non-capitalist (as in owning means of production) bourg. like lawyers, doctors, civil servants, etc.

The FBI raided and arrested 7 pro-Palestine activists this morning for their involvement in student organizing at UMich. They are still targeting the student movement. Please spread the word about this. Donate to the legal fund in this thread

White Supremacy and Ashkenazi chauvinism must both be combatted and undermined wherever they occur, to be sure, but in the case of Palestine the fundamental issue remains

Palestine must be free and the settler-colonial entity must be destroyed

re: a current discourse

It’s times like this that I think concepts like intersectionality can be useful. We can apply to the Zio-Entity three (for this particular case) axes: White Supremacy, Jewish Supremacy, Ashkenazi Chauvinism

There can be Ethiopian (and other non-white)

[Gryff @Gryff_Fish]

a system of Jewish Supremacy

non-Ashkenazi and non-white Jews certainly face discrimination and prejudice within the Entity, but participation in Jewish Supremacist life remains the fundamental determinant

And of course no amount of suffering justifies such a participation

One key factor in the decline of its classical form IMO, is the fall of urban violent crime in the 90s

The Rogue Cop has never gone away and there’s an explosion of anti-heroes but the specific street fighting vigilante tangling with gangs/petty crime appears to have fallen off

[Gryff @Gryff_Fish]

If the classical neoliberal vigilante stories begin with Dirty Harry and reach such high points as Taxi Driver and pulp counterparts such as the Punisher and TMNT, what I wonder is, when did this archetypal protagonist fall away?

‘The Wilting Rose of Reform’ is good slander I’m sorry, that’s just a solid line

@RobertSkvarla I do also find it interesting how well suited popular music continues to be as a well of conspiratorial/parapolitical speculation, regardless of the veracity of particular claims

@SIEGESISSY It’s so sick when they lean into the “yeah they worship an evil worm” stuff
