Every left-wing argument against liberal democracy ultimately boils down to “the stuff we get with incremental change through electoral means pales in comparison to the benefits of a society I made up after a revolution I imagined in a world that doesn’t exist.”
When you compare the results delivered by the Democratic Party to the results of fanfic rather than the contents of it, the comparison starts to look a lot more favorable.
Everyone who believes the best way forward does not involve winning elections is required to share their strategy for winning the Second American Civil War.

I’ve been triggered into grumpy serious adult posting so bear with me here:

I think the issue with a lot of proposed Twitter Lefty solutions for education is that they fundamentally do not understand the problem.
The problem facing society is not “How do we give each individual a custom-tailored education best suited for their talents and interests?”

It is “How do we give a good enough education for the needs of modern society in a timely fashion at scale?”
Unless your solution addresses how we do this at scale, it is not a real solution.

This is not a real solution either:

1.) abolish the state.
2.) create new means of organizing a modern society that is not the state with a different name.

In which Ant Man, the Wasp, and Iron Man decide to quit the Avengers while Thor and Captain America are away, then immediately accept the known criminal who kidnapped their butler and endangered his life with a reckless stunt as a replacement because they want to leave ASAP. ImageImageImage
People say the Silver Age was a more innocent time, but honestly, 60s Marvel had a hilarious sociopathic misanthropy to it that has never been equaled.
"Hey, Cap. While you were gone, we decided to all quit. Here are the new guys. Have fun." ImageImage

Cavill having the time of his life saving cats from trees and helping old ladies across the street is the objectively funniest end state for the DCEU.
Just do a complete fucking vibe shift than openly disrespects what came before it for the memes.

Have Superhenry talk to Batfleck about how nice it is that Robin, who is alive, found friends his own age on the Teen Titans.
This tonal inconsistency and total disregard for continuity is actually the most comics accurate portrayal of the DC Universe possible.
