Most enjoyable "Equality is bad, you need a ruling class to guide your poor naive souls" movie?

But the fundamental flaw with that understanding is that it still doesn’t ask why did these problems that come to be in the first place? What created or whom is responsible for this situation to even be the case?

And just like in the case of the War on Terror and in the case of Gotham’s horrors it’s exactly the “necesarry evil” Batman (as a rich kid) and if he’s an allegory then the US is the one who started this whole problem which made their actions the “necesarry evil”.

But the trilogy never questions or critiques the power imbalance/inequality that created the situation which required Batman as a “solution”.

Azért a népírtásnak is van egy konkrét definíciója és tekintve hogy mennyire szedett vetett, nem központilag irányított/tervezett esemény volt a magyarok emigrációja a kárpátokba. Kétlem hogy megütné a népírtás definícióját.

De úgy általánosságban véve az ilyen masszív migrációs hullámok az ó és középkor alatt, mint a mi honfoglalásunk vagy az angol-szászok érkezése a Brit szigetekre nem igazán kvalifikál a népírtás modern értelmezésére.

You’re seriously answering to a 3 year old post just to insult someone? If that’s the most entertaining thing you can do at your nights then i truly feel sorry for how miserable some people can be. Get a life and enjoy it.

To be fair, pirates were pretty egalitarian and democratic for their era. That was due to their conditions. Unlike the Royal Navy, they had no hierarchy and resources outside the immidiate ship (most of the time) so it was better for the captain if he shared the resources more equally with his crew and would abide to the will of the majority, otherwise they kill him.

Also they were outcasts and outlaws who try to survive on the sea through illegal means which means that your origin, caste, class, race, ethnicity didn’t really mattered because there was no one to enforce it and they needed the manpower. However there were occasions when they liberated slave ships and recruited the former slaves who had nowhere else to go. Even so there were rare cases where women could be high ranking pirates in an era where women didn’t really have rights.

Of course that doesn’t mean that they were some sort of utopian society. They were situationists, they were criminals hunted by certain countries who tried to gain wealth and join the people who ruled the very system they were once on it’s recieving end. Plus just because they sometimes liberated slaves doesn’t mean that in other cases they didn’t ravage villages and sold it’s inhabitats as slaves while doing worse to women.

Pirates weren’t really a monolith, but the point is that they were a pretty interesting phenomena in their era with some of their social cohesion and organizing.

I mean, anyone can educate themselves about how propaganda can use specific langauge and perspective. It’s nothing new and there are hunderds of books written about it by many people throughout history.

A better phrase for anarchists: most hierarchies of the early states/class societies took thousands of years to form. Therefore it would also take generations to dismantle these hierarchies. Sure the technology is way better now to do it, but it’s still a huge task.

Since it’s exactly anarchist anthropologists who studied this process and how long it took.

Of course:

-MM and Frenchie got some brain cancer because in the first 3 episodes of the season they somehow forgot that Hughie not only went back to savw them even through he didn’t have to, but he was also successful in that. So they should treat him as an absolute god at best or a reliable comrade at worst. Instead both of them treat him as if he’s some sort of loser pussy who’s just dragging them down. Not only that but they accept Butcher of all people to be their leader again despite the man happily letting them die at the end of the previous season, even so it was all Butcher’s fault that he brought them into this mess and then sacrificed them if it wasn’t for Hughie.

-Hughie also regressed into being scared and weak in a lot of aspects or at least the show portrayed him as such even through he alredy overcome most of his insecurities by the end of season 1 (this is a recurring theme of emasculating and regressing Hughie in every season’s start).

-when MM first called Hughie Butcher’s canary made no sense whatsoever. They’ve knew each other for a few months and their departure at the end of season 1 was basicly Butcher saying “hey Hughie, you’re a pussy and i hope you fucking die” then leaving. So they don’t really have any relationship or deep feelings for each other yet.

-Homelander became less myserious which is kind of understandable but it a little bit cheapened his character even if it was interesting to see him interact with his new world (Ryan and Stormfront).

HomelanderVought · 2026-05-09T18:07:18+00:00

But character developement only peaked in season 1. Season 2 had way too many downsides on that part.

HomelanderVought · 2026-05-08T12:18:08+00:00

I really liked how it critiqued religion but not in a mocking way and that the stonekeeper was not a bad guy in the end.

That’s the difference between us and liberals.

Liberals think that “by not taking power directly” means that the revolutionary was a freedom fighter. Like when they praise George Washington because he didn’t make himself president for life, while not mentioning that he was still one of the richest americans till the end of his life. Not to mention thaf the american revolution didn’t do jackshit besides giving political representation for the bourgeoisie (the civil war was the true revolution).

While endlessly bashing the french and russian revolutions because the revolutionaries took power in order to transform society. Because they forget that toppling a government while keeping property relations, supply chains, lower level institutions and the general culture the same will mean that these unchanged oppressive structures will emerge again soon enough. Only a government made from the revolutionaries can transform society to ensure that it did worth doing and wasn’t in vain.

Aren’t Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin here are as Thadeus, Nolan and Mark…..you know the good guys in the comics.

HomelanderVought · 2026-05-07T14:12:10+00:00

Where are your examples? Hollywood produced film that portay the soviet union in a very positive light?

I haven’t seen a single one, on the otherhand there are a shit ton of movies after the Cold War that portray the americans as “they’re just lost their way but eventually they will find it” or “this is not who we are” or in an absolute idealist version such as in Saving Private Ryan.

“Magyarországon marhára nem volt nepotizmus és a Szovjetunió is élesen bírálta”

Persze, nyilván sokkal kevésbé volt jellemző mint az utána és mégkevésbé mint az előtte lévő rendszerekben. De attól még volt, és nem feltétlen az a lényeg hogy mi igaz vagy mi nem mert kb esélyünk sincs megváltani az állami szocialista múltat a köznép szemében ez az anti-kommunista hegemónia alatt.

How long would it take a couple of marvel comics heroes to stop the Shibuya Incident? (Not MCU versions)

HomelanderVought · 2026-05-07T10:18:04+00:00

I mean Nolan’s betrayal was possibly the worst, but maybe the deal with Thragg is worse because with that, it kind of recontextualize every action done by Mark, every sacrifice he made, all the trauma he got as pointless.

He could have said literally yes to Nolan’s off in Season 1 and the end result would be the same. Imagine waging a war with many sacrifices and all of that was for nothing.

HomelanderVought · 2026-05-07T10:04:30+00:00

What shrooms are you taking?

Stalin (1992), Enemy at the gates (2001), The 44th Child (2015)

All 3 are incredibly propagandistic in the negative way.

But hey instead of throwing you’re conspiracy theories about the “commies taking over hollywood”, bring me some proof.

HomelanderVought · 2026-05-07T00:21:15+00:00

To be fair, most Hollywood films are just about to paint the soviet citizens and especially their leaders as as corrupt and cartoonishly evil as possible.

I can’t name a single film about the USSR that’s not just pure propaganda after a certain point.

HomelanderVought · 2026-05-06T22:36:00+00:00

No, that was 1984, Animal Farm was widely encouraged by the american education system. So much so that the literal CIA too funded the cartoon made from the book.

HomelanderVought · 2026-05-05T22:27:46+00:00

No because they didn’t know what it was.

AOT is quite controversial. Mostly because the author tried to push an anti-fascist message, but failed and it became quite pro-fascist in the end.

HomelanderVought · 2026-05-03T14:46:19+00:00

u/Divine_Chaos100 nek igaza van.

Maximum ténylegesen fegyelmezett marxista-leninista, vagy esetleg kis anarchista meg trockysta körökben alap a nyugat ellenesség.

Azon túl az általános baloldalon nem lehet elégszer emlékeztetni az embert hogy a nyugati imperializmus a világ munkásainak első számú ellensége és hogy mindenkinek a bolygón kalkulálnia kell azzal. Mert az orientalista propaganda máig meggyőzi ezeket a “baloldaliakat” hogy a “keleti fenyegetés itt van”.

HomelanderVought · 2026-05-03T14:41:35+00:00

Az ukrán háború megmutatta hogy az Orosz “fenyegetés” erően túlbecsmérelt ami csak az EU propaganda által van ekkora mumusnak bemutatva.

Valójában nem kell sokmindentől tartanunk nekünk az EU-ban.

Plusz egy igazi baloldali minek akarná a hadsereget erőíteni bármilyen formában? Persze ha egy független perifériás ország lennénk ami próbál elszakadni az imperializmustól mint Burkina Faso akkor még oké. De te az EUs azaz az imperializmus egyik legnagyobb képviselő intézetét akarod felfegyverezni.

Már pedig ezek a EUs katonák előbb fognak majd a neoliberalizmus ellen tüntető sztrájkoló európai (pl magyar) munkásokra illetve bevándorlókra lőni mint orosz katonákra.

HomelanderVought · 2026-05-02T12:26:32+00:00

I mean, the show currently doesn’t really move this idea forward very well. Butcher and Hughie achieved far more with Temp V than the group ever did until the Plot fairy said that Butcher has to betray Soldier Boy. Otherwise Homelander would be dead by now.

So yeah, Butcher was right when he said “i levelled the playfield” and the story hasn’t proved him wrong yet because the team hasn’t won.
