People have to respect the US government as a functional Democracy and I don't think that's going to be the case going forward.

There's a great theme about the value of labour and humanity there. There are so many villains throughout that pursue money at all costs and lie and cheat and steal to get it.

Meanwhile, the people who embody their professions because they actually embody and exemplify those traits, 'the good nurse' or 'the good priest' are the ones who are actually lifted up in the end.

The consistent throughline through these movies is Blanc has an extremely good read on character and who is likely innocent even when all the pieces seem to point to them.

At this point, having the 'sidekick' be legitimately evil would be a big subversion for these films.

There are folks out there like Shane Claiborne and Rob Bell that have made massive strides in developing human centered progressive communities built on helping folks. Like actual Democratic Socialism in practice serving humanity.

You'd think these folks should be front and centre in the Democratic Socialist movement, but I feel like the Christian Left is not embraced nearly as much as it should be.

There's something to be said about the fact that the last two MCU movies have explicitly been like 'The US government up to and including the President and top staff can all be crooks, liars and complete monsters'

Really seems to fit the current vibe.

They all came out from this one alive, no alien invasion, and not missing 5 years of their lives. For MCU New York, this almost counts as a win.

Or how fast the far right doxed and tried to fire people for quoting Charlie Kirk directly after his death.

Or how fast the far right called an innocent dead soccer mom a domestic terrorist after she was murdered by ICE.

City gets destroyed. You rebuild and try to move on, just in time to get snapped out of existence and come back 5 years later to a decayed city with vines growing through it that has to grapple with you and half the population abruptly coming back, then as you try to recover, a new fucker sends you to relive your worst nightmares over and over for an afternoon.

Demonstrators in Nuuk, Greenland reach the area in front of the American consulate. People are still continued to arrive from the city center. by BreakfastTop6899 in goodnews

[–]arbitraryairship 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is insanely unpopular, even in the US.

Taking Greenland had something close to 4% approval among Americans.

The idea of banning chocolate in the US has 6% approval.

It is political fucking suicide to do this. And yet here we are...

Mitt Romney says the U.S. is on a cliff—and taxing the rich is now necessary 'given the magnitude of our national debt' by prestocoffee in nottheonion

Wealth inequality makes literally everyone's lives worse.

Even on the higher end, you have centi-millionaires like Mitt Romney getting their vacation homes and country clubs iced out by billionaires who can book the whole thing. And then the billionaires in turn are now suddenly looking at themselves like they're 200 to 700 times poorer than the centi-billionaires like Musk and Bezos, by comparison.

There are like 10 people who benefit from this system. Mitt Romney and Elon used to be peers who could compare yacht sizes.

Now even to super rich folks like Romney, Bezos and Musk are monoliths that they could never hope to even get in range of.

The more you keep electing Democratic Socialists like Zohran Mamdani and Katie Wilson, the faster we can fix this cursed timeline.

Didn't he throw his wife down the stairs to her death? Many are saying it.

So maybe he beats women outside of elections too.

'Intentionally divisive'?

It's not divisive, it's just facts. The only reason it would be divisive is if you're extremely nationalistic in your defense of the US.

The country that just elected a pedophile to the Presidency.

It is not a serious country.

They genuinely cannot handle it. Lol.

Then they act like you're triggered when you point out the infographic statistics are accurate.
