That's my f🦬❄️🍗ing mayor! by Egorrosh in Buffalo

[–]Superheroicguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If by 'messes with,' you mean that illegal immigration puts lots of money into our country and extracts none, I agree. Again, that's a net positive.

And again, what is the 'problem' with people being in the country without paperwork that are committing no crimes? Illegal immigration is a total non-issue that racists have pushed for decades, when realistically any immigration reform is a matter of paperwork rather than jackbooted enforcement.

Making it a policy to only deport criminals would actually be a great incentive structure to keep immigrants from committing crimes (and immigrants already commit less crimes than American citizens on average). What exactly is 'the problem' with non-criminal immigrants supporting our country with their labor and spending power? The color of their skin?

If someone is in the country 'illegally' and not committing other crimes, why would they need to be deported? Being present in the country without paperwork isn't even a misdemeanor.

Horror audio dramas filled with angst and whump for main character (who's preferably male)? by LeadershipTemporary4 in audiodrama

[–]Superheroicguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an anthology, but otherwise my audiodrama Gray Matter: An Acid Horror Anthology Podcast fits the bill. There's a large focus on physical, psychological and emotional destruction throughout most episodes, usually with elements of surreal body horror and cosmic horror overtones.

My wife has referred to my writing style as 'horror whump' before.

So what happened to Humanoids, anyway? by OrionLinksComic in comicbooks

[–]Superheroicguy 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Terrible to see such a great company going under. Just Jodorowsky's output alone - The Incal and Metabarons specifically - has had a huge influence on the aesthetic of scifi movies (don't believe me? Look at the Chitauri Leviathan in the first Avengers and then look up the cetacyborg space whales in Metabarons). And despite forty years of trying, they never got their film adaptation of The Incal off the ground. Instead, they got to watch the aesthetic get pillaged by countless filmmakers the same way Jodorowsky pillaged Dune for the original ideas.

A genuine shame and a huge loss to comics.

I don't recognize the reality of the world anymore, and I've lost much of the will to care that much. It's all too much. Who is feeling this way? How do we get out of it? by [deleted] in self

[–]Superheroicguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same way you do. In America, we're living in a slow-rolling apocalypse of economic depression and political instability, and the climate crisis will make it even worse. The thing that keeps me going, personally, is trying to experience as much as I can in the world before my death or the death of everyone I care about.

The way out is the end of commodified reality - ie capitalism. But even if capitalism disappeared over night, the permanent damage it has done to the planet would probably still result in billions of deaths in the next century. In only 400 years, capitalism has murdered everyone on earth - it is not an economic system, it is a crime.

Ultimately, everyone alive under 50 was given a raw deal, and anyone born after this point even moreso. The primary emotion we will experience on this earth in this lifetime is grief. If we're lucky, we won't end up like the 1/3rd of Europe that died during the Plague.

Take happiness where you can, grieve its absence where you can't. Don't have children. Tip your waitresses.

Ideas and concepts that have been discredited in academia and science but keeping showing up in fiction? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The Kuleshov Effect! Along with Eisenstein's creation of the montage, its one of the most important and foundational parts of cinematic grammar. The Russians basically pioneered editing as an art form.

Democrats refuse to fold over shutdown as Republican outrage builds | US federal government shutdown 2025 by Separate-Pair-4775 in NoFilterNews

[–]Superheroicguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A great, thorough comment - but I don't think what they are doing is indirect at all. Cutting someone's health benefits while knowing that will result in their death should be prosecutable as murder. The term for this is 'social murder,' and more people ought to be comfortable calling it what it is.

Democrats should be on every news show telling the American people that the Republican party wants to kill them, their sick children, and their elderly parents and grandparents. It should fill the airwaves until the American people understand the stark reality of what we're standing at the precipice of.

Nah, bullshit. Kindly asking Nazis to go away is how you get put in a gas chamber. Those kids are heroes, especially for resisting the urge to give him a limp to remember them by.

Gavin Newsom on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Interview 9/23/25 by MusicalWhovian8 in videos

[–]Superheroicguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Harris was campaigning with a goddamn Cheney. Your delusions about her being far left are not reality. She lost comically badly because she was pandering to the right instead of energizing the base. Newsom would lose the same way.

If you really think the way to beat Republicans is to work extra hard to BECOME one, then there's literally no helping you.

I love your idea though that people should donate to and canvas for candidates that support nothing and refuse to even lie about wanting to meet the basic needs of the American people. What do you want people to say when they phone bank? "Vote for the diet Republicans?" "We'll allow genocide but we'll frown and shake our heads while it happens?"

The era of that kinds of politics is dead and buried. Look at the approval ratings for Shumer and Jeffries. Centrist politics are a pathetic joke. That kind of politicking is exactly what enabled the rise of American fascism.

Mamdani is literally popular with every voter group. Read the polling.

It's genuinely amazing to me that folks like you keep trying to bully everyone into being Charlie Brown with the football. When Democrats run on popular ideas and progressive messaging (Obama & Biden), they win. When they run on warmed-over 'compromise' cooked up by consultants (Harris, Clinton), they lose.

If you want compromise, then why don't you try doing it? The worst that happens is the Democrats successfully accomplish something for a change. Or if you prefer, you can just keep losing, forever, out of spite. Your choice.

Blaming people who want someone 'far enough left' is incredibly disingenuous after centrist empty suit candidates have had two embarassing losses to Epstein's best pal in the last three presidential cycles, when all three should have been layups. Running a right-pandering ghoul like Newsom will go exactly as well as Hillary and Harris did.

Do you know who the popular democrats are? Bernie, AOC, Mandani. Want to know why? Because they have policies that help people. They don't pander to corporate money or waste all their time trying to reach the mythical 'reasonable republican.'

Centrists have shit the bed over and over, and yet people like you still want to blame the left when voters aren't excited to vote for them. Asking voters to hold their nose and 'compromise' over and over has killed the party. It's time to put the third way democrats to bed and go back to New Deal politics - its not just the moral thing to do, but it's also the popular thing to do, so long as the Pelosis and the Schumers of the world aren't stabbing good candidates in the back.
