Re: Are Superheroes Inherently Fascist

I DO know of a few fictional works that framed the Reich as what it really was: a bunch of pulp-adventure-obsessed man-children trying to make their insane LARP setting real. JoJo Rabbit is the big recent one, but there are many others. bmFVnt4yusU The thing is that Hitler banned Pulp fiction as he...

Re: Are Superheroes Inherently Fascist

People think fascism is "bad" which doesn't make people anti-fascist; it just makes people not want to be associated with fascism, and to make fascism into whatever it is that they are opposed to. Very few people are academically "neutral" on it they way they can be with most other ideologies, even ...

Re: Trump vs Biden^H^H^H^H^H Harris: Kamala Rising

Iran denies everything. The US government charged three people- one believed to be in Iran, the other two held in New York with their trial pending- with being part of an Iranian plot to kill Trump. There were other alleged targets including a journalist critical of the Iranian regime and two Jewish...

Re: New Writer For Star Wars Episodes 10, 11 and 12 Chosen

Simon Kinberg was hell-bent on doing the "Dark Phoenix" storyline in a more grounded, "down to Earth" style and he tried it twice- neither time worked and neither time did it even make sense to try. The Phoenix Saga worked in the comics as an epic space opera, not just some angsty drama about a girl...

Re: Trump vs Biden^H^H^H^H^H Harris: Kamala Rising

So, allegedly, the Iranians plotted to kill Trump. First attempt was going to be back in September but was nixed; their second was going to be after the election in the assumption that he'd lose (I presume, in revenge for the death of Soleimani). US Department of Justice reporting it. https://www.yo...

Re: Lower Decks season 5

With all due repsect, fuck the Ba'ku and their elven ways. Star Trek did an episode about not engaging in ejection of indigenous peoples. In that episode, they used actual native people and not white folk who actually found a planet by accident. Insurrection could have been a great story if it focu...

The master plan of the Borg Queen almost fell apart because Picard hardly ever got laid.

Re: Heroarchy is Fascism

That definition is dangerously close to being unfalsifiable since any time a Fascist seems to not think like that you could just say "well, fascism isn't logically consistent anyway" or "well, the fascist leaders have moved the goalposts again" etc Many actual fascists never saw themselves as loyal ...
