All those bernie bros wanted her to retire and not officiate large events with many participants because they hate to see a girlboss winning.
Nice try feds

I like when the president does legal things, like dragging all of his political enemies out in the street and garroting them with piano wire. I do not like when the president does illegal things (there are literally no illegal things)
Aww, you really get me!
Eew. A story about how evil and cruel America is doing a collab with a story justifying all of america’s evil and cruelty.
This is absolutely omnicidal insanity. The American regime is signing a writ of execution for humanity. Wet bulb events that can potentially cause mass casualty events, death at a level inconceivable even after Covid, are a reality right now and they’re doing trade protectionism to stop more efficient power generation. Madness. Unbelievable, inhuman madness.
I like that analysis, thank you.
You love to see it. It’s wild how outright piracy has become a normal tool of international diplomacy.
It’s not not cyberpunk.
It’s close enough and shares enough of the same things to be analyzed as part of the genre.
I do think that to a large extent the big evil bowling ball of doom is supposed to abstractly represent capital or something adjacent.
Things like the depiction of the indigenous resistance movement as unsophisticated dupes and terrorists merits analysis; why did the French director depict them this way? How can this be a reflection of French colonial history? Same with the depiction of the white Archeologists and the presumably middle easter kid subjected to colonialism in the beggining though I think there’s less there.
Leelu can be analyzed through the “born sexy yesterday” trope and there’s a lot of questions to ask from a Feminist slant.
The movie actually acknowledges some of the harms and contradictions of capitalism, while underplaying others. Showing the relationship between Corben as a cabby working for Zorg and ultimately being one of the people who thwarts Zorg is nice.
The decision to never have the protagonists and the antagonists directly interact is a neat one and opens up some very good questions about narrative norms - turns out the hero doesn’t actually need to confront the villain!
It does have a lot of cyberpunk themes; mighty and powerful corporations and governments can’t save themselves so they need a working class guy and his weird buddies to save the world. The upper classes are depicted as a gaggle of decadent idiots who have no idea what’s happening, while the corporate leader is a hyper-competent bastard who completely understands all the harm his sytem causes and loves it.
And it’s also just a silly adventure film with lots of style and cool visuals and a sappy power of love resolution.
Ahhahahahahahahahahahahhahaahahhaha PERISH
Fucking collapsing under the weight of it’s own grotesque hunger.
Studying Democratic Party politics, huh?
I am three liberals in a trench coat and I’m ready to vote right now.
We’re a Citations Needed fan forum.
It’s true. I am the only true leftist in this miserable sea of liberalism.
We’re like Bane “The Venom is the only thing keeping him alive” levels of irony poisoned here. Add almost 7 years of in-jokes, memes, obscure conspiracy theories, and thousands of emojis and I can only imagine this place is a nightmare to navigate for visitors.
The 500-1k active Hexabarbearians are a plot to… uh… shit let me get back to you.
Check the lower right of this authentic vintage Frank terror meme. So many people just cannot accept how embarassingly sincere most of us are.
That’s awesome I didn’t know htat.
It’s fucking bizarre people keep hammering on this when the US is engaged in, I cannot emphasize this enough, anti-trans genocide as defined in international law. Like bruh. Bruh. Clean up your own house.
People trust the mpd to murder, steal, and torture. The pigs have established trust.
Oink oink oink piggies throw yourselves in the sea of Galilee.
