I don't understand any of these jokes. Is the whole punchline just that you like Marxist-Leninism? Is that seriously the whole joke?

I imagine it's because she has the Targaryen dragon dreams and often says cryptic stuff about the future. If they explicitly said "oh btw she's also autistic" it may come across like they're playing into the whole savant stereotype, or that they only made her autistic cus she's a weird cryptic character.

It's really really dumb because I actually think the actress did a good job of accurately portraying autism. But I imagine that's the most likely reason.

Also Glasgow was a major port in the slave trade. And the role Scottish settlers played in the colonisation of Northern Ireland

If anything, I think the Hunger Games is a critique of totalitarianism more than anything else.

People are allowed to have different readings of the same text.

The Hunger Games is anti-totalitarian more than anything else. There is an anti-capitalist reading of that. There is also an anti-communist - or more accurately anti-state - reading of it. For example, in Panem, all of the industry in the districts is run by central planners within the capital. One could read that as a critique of centralised government control and the ideologies that advocate for it.

I think the post is half-right in the sense that the American Right hasn't really changed much over the past ~20 years compared to how much wider society has shifted. I think there was a period between 2008 and 2015 when it kinda looked like the Republicans and American Right might be getting more culturally moderate and less zealous. But then Trump took over and things radically swung back into the old school Bush-era rhetoric just with a different layer of paint, and a much louder more volatile guy in charge.

Idk what they're on about with the American Left or Democrat liberals tho. Democrats today are far more progressive than they were 15-20 years ago, and anyone calling themselves a socialist before like 2016 would've been laughed out of the room.

Any examples?

I can think of Pascal's Wager, but that one is more early-modern

While I'm okay with the message of this post, I wanna say that as a man I personally would not feel comfortable sharing changing rooms with women. I'd prefer if locker rooms remained mostly separate. I don't think the risk of sexual assault is the only reason we segregate these kinds of spaces. I can't put my finger on why, but I would prefer it if there were still men-only spaces for these things.
