Wonder Woman 84 is so bad, y'all
I wrote a whole-ass thread over on my personal account about why it was such a missed opportunity, but man it just sucked from top to bottom
I can suspend disbelief for an invisible jet and a cheetah lady and a magic crystal that grants everyone's wishes, but expecting me to believe Gal Gadot would save a Muslim child? 🤨
#WW84 is emblematic of the tiresome and frankly destructive liberal worldview that if we just give the bad guys enough facts, they'll magically realize the error of their ways and join our team. She literally defeats the villain by appealing to reason!

Thread on the end of #TheMandalorian Chapter 14 and what it says about the restoration of liberal democracy under the New Republic (no major plot spoilers, but you should probably watch the episode first) Image
So I went through and translated some of the New Republic prison records that recently-appointed Marshal Cara Dune looks through when Mando visits her at the end of Chapter 14, and one thing that stood out was how shockingly steep some of the prison sentences were. Image
35 years for stealing a landspeeder. 45 years for smuggling. 30 years for forgery. 25 years for hacking! These are draconian sentences, even compared to the American penal system. ImageImageImageImage

Funny how people act like it's so shocking and awful when poor people in faraway countries turn to terrorism just because an occupying army destroyed their homes and killed their family, but when they watch Star Wars they still recognize that Luke Skywalker is the good guy Image
I mean you can literally see Luke go from "But I just wanted to go to Toshe Station to pick up some power converters" to "I'm going to kill every Imperial I see" in the space of about five seconds -- you think that same thing doesn't happen every single day in the real world? Image
The Empire explicitly portrayed the Rebellion as terrorists, as seen in this in-universe propaganda poster Image

I didn't even know Malaysia celebrated Thanksgiving
There's cucked, and then there's "spend all day tweeting about a country you've never even visited to ingratiate yourself with people who would genocide you without a second thought if they got the chance" cucked
Like, say what you will about the kapos but at least they didn't have much of a choice

Have yet to see a single Biden cabinet pick being floated who isn't a complete slap in the face to progressives -- shoutout to everyone who said we could push him left after the election
From now on anybody who responds to criticism of Biden with "At least he's better than Trump!!!" is getting blocked, because I'm so tired of explaining that that is completely beside the point. We need a president who is actually GOOD, not just "comparatively better than Trump."
If we keep up this "one step forward, two steps back" routine that Democrats have been doing for the last 40 years or so, the only thing that's going to happen is we keep moving backward. It's time to hold politicians accountable and make them understand they work for US.

Revenge of the Sith is actually good in that it accurately depicts how society can be willingly led into fascism through conspiracy theories about "elites" and the use of ethnic scapegoating to explain economic oppression of the masses, and how liberalism is powerless to stop it
At the very beginning of the prequels, Lucas tells us who the villains are: Capitalists. Economic monopolies backed up by police power, with the liberal gov't unable to do anything. We also see the phenomenal wealth disparity of the so-called "republic," including open slavery.
Palpatine plays both sides, arguing for stronger leadership and executive power while secretly orchestrating the Clone Wars to push the Republic into chaos and militarization. But none of this would be possible if the failures of liberalism hadn't created the right conditions.

How could Democrats possibly think the best way to defeat a racist conservative oligarch who cynically switched parties in order to buy an election is by running a racist conservative oligarch who cynically switched parties so he could buy an election? #BloombergIsRacist
First rule of election strategy is drawing a contrast between you and your opponent. You think the millions of low-info voters who don't care about the primaries and didn't turn out for Hillary are clamoring to vote for Trump Lite just to get rid of the full-flavored version? Nah
"Can we brainstorm ways to make this sound less racist?"

Good luck! #BloombergIsRacist Image
