Liberals really trying to out-racist conservatives as if that'll get us to trust them again. At this point I find them more contemptible than conservatives. At least conservatives are honestly and unapologetically evil, whereas libs still try to pretend they're good.
Yep, which makes Genocide Joe a fitting president.
Yep and there were even white people who pointed out how absurd it was for the founders to act like they thought all people were equal when they also tortured human beings with chattel slavery. Wasn't a "times were different" thing, America has just always been evil.
American politicians don't know any history at all.
"America is the only Nation in the world founded on an idea: We are all created equal and deserve to be treated equally throughout our lives. We have never fully lived up to that idea, but we have never fully walked away from it either."
OK but when I say foreign people's lives matter as much as American lives so warmongers like Bush, Obama, Clinton, and Biden are mass murderers and should be tried for murder, I'm the crackpot? Are all people evil or not?
Libs be like all people are equal except for anyone we want to kill
Something something Ruzzian bots something something election interference something something go to war to defend democracy 
Maybe, maybe not. There's no way to know. But I think it's telling that Palestinians are not begging Americans to vote for Biden because "Trump would be worse". This is a talking point wholly invented by Liberals because they don't care one bit whether Trump would be worse for Palestinians, they just care about Biden not losing.
Reddit is too liberal (Liberalism is a Capitalist, Colonialist, Genocidal ideology)
The liberalism is still there. It's just liberals trying to do decolonization but failing every step of the way. It's mainly there for character driven stories and tie into LOK more.
That's going to be a hard pass from me then. I think the 'character driven stories' are what I wanted more of because those (and the martial arts) (and the SUPER CUTE CHIMERA ANIMALS) are the real strengths of the show. But I cannot watch libs butcher a decolonization narrative and the entire LOK setting seemed like shit so tying in with that means it'll necessarily be disappointing af.
Thank you for your thoughts. I disagree about the Southern Raiders episode but I would have to go watch it again to feel like I was speaking fairly and I'm not willing to do that so... yeah. Your take is valid even though I disagree.
I kind of thought Aang doing the "but I can't KILL because of my religion!" thing and then finding a nonlethal way to win was interesting from a religious perspective actually. Since it was framed more as a religious thing than some lib "killing oppressors is bad" thing.
Honestly even just seeing the first ep of Korra I felt like they did the kids in the original series so dirty by making them agents of neoliberal fascism.
Have you considered consulting a lawyer to see what your legal obligations are? Trying to raise a kid you don't want with someone you don't even have a good relationship with is just a recipe for failure -- it'll be bad for the kid and bad for you. The least bad outcome, since it sounds like she's unwilling to abort, may be for you to surrender your rights to the child and just pay child support but not be involved at all.
Fascists hate it when you treat them the way they treat their victims. There is poetic justice in doing unto them as they do unto others.
Then thank you for saving me from the pain of finding out firsthand!
I watched the show Avatar The Last Airbender for the first time in my life in 2019 on a friend's recommendation. I was somewhat bothered by it seeming appropriative and orientalist, and how it was basically a show about Western imperialism set in the exotic trappings of Eastern and indigenous cultures. Still, I enjoyed those trappings and the martial arts choreography.
But then early on it did anticolonial freedom fighters dirty yet that was portrayed as a good thing, and that bothered me. I chalked it up to children's cartoons in the mid-2000s having to follow certain tropes about violence and didn't just ragequit there. Then when they did the blood-bender dirty I rationalized it away with "well they're kids who haven't been imprisoned and tortured like she has, they haven't learned that you have to be merciless when fighting merciless colonizers." Then when Aang did some bullshit peace-policing and manipulated Katara into not taking the justified revenge she so clearly needed yet that was portrayed as a good thing, I figured hey, I wasn't raised Buddhist, I don't know how this spiritual system handles things, maaaaybe this is in character... (but it was still very shitty of him to get in her way). And I was very close to the end and wanted to see how this played out and I'd already excused a couple bits of lib shit so I kept going.
Despite those flaws, I persisted in watching and found it pleasant and enjoyable enough. When it ended I wanted more. But the very first episode of Legend of Korra was an utter disappointment -- the liberatory heroes of the first series had just implemented neoliberalism and the setting was some uninspired 1920s new world shit, and the political questions that were being set up seemed utterly boring. So I stopped watching and dropped the entire franchise like a hot potato.
Well, apparently the ATLA story gets continued in comics and I was wondering if they're at all good or not. I want to read them because I want them to be good -- there's enough fun stuff in the first series that it could be and there are questions the show left unanswered I think I would like to know. But at the same time the world-building and rank liberalism in some of the plots make me fear that I would just ruin what enjoyment I got out of the show the first time around. If they have even a drop more of liberal "killing your oppressors makes you worse than them" bullshit in it I feel like it would sour any positive feelings I had about the show.
I guess now that I've typed it out the answer is obvious: Don't bother, there's better shit out there to read that isn't written by politically illiterate culturally appropriative liberals. Still, I'd welcome any comrades' thoughts!
Oh that's great, I will look forward to reading it once it's released!
This looks cool, but where do you read it? I couldn't find any English translations on nyaa.si
Same reason I voted against Biden for a third party in 2020: As one of the architects of the Iraq War, Biden is a mass-murdering war criminal and is therefore unfit to rule. He should not be free to hit the campaign trail and run for President; at minimum he belongs at bare minimum in prison in the Hague.
That was a good enough reason not to vote for him in 2020 and since he still isn't in prison and just spent 7 months overseeing an obvious genocide, it's even more true now.
Reminder to anyone reading this comment to please for the love of Fuck, wear a well-fitting N95 or better respirator anytime you're outside your apartment (unless maybe you're alone outside). If you're going to the store, mask up. If you're going to the doctor, mask up. If you're going to a protest, mask up. And try to keep the risks to a minimum -- that is, if you're going to spend time in a group, encourage that group to wear masks too because two-way masking is better at preventing diseases from spreading than 1-way masking.
Not sure if you were talking about this one but the GVS Elipse I use (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B095YC3ZD5) has no exhalation valve! It fits small faces and is pretty comfortable for long use cases, only issue is it gets wet from all the humidity so when I'm done with it I use a paper towel to carefully wick out all the water and then air it out.
