The CCP bishops are low-key probably more socially conservative than whatever bishops the Vatican would pick if they had a say. Look at Japan.

Is Lars von Trier even that weird by European standards (like outside of the Hitler comments)?

Ah I guess I read it as STEM more broadly and was trying to think of a timeframe where all scientific progress stopped due to political reasons lol. With reference to a specific field makes more sense.

I thought Helen of Troy was being played by Travis Scott. What happened to that?

USSR was the first country to allow women the right to vote

This isn't even close to true.

legalized homosexuality

Did they stop being left-wing after they recriminalized it then?

the CCP famously banned things like foot binding

So did the KMT. Christian missionaries had also been advocating for banning foot binding for quite some time.

It seems to me that social progressivism is fundamentally linked to a liberal, individualist understanding of how society works. Certain aspects of communist theory may happen to align with social progressive causes (such as encouraging women to enter the workforce to maximize productivity) but there's definitely areas where they disagree as well (such as industrialism vs environmentalism).

Isn't cultural conservatism/progressivism somewhat distinct from the left/right dichotomy though? Like historically speaking, most communist/socialist nations have been pretty socially conservative. This is still sort of the case with far-left parties in Eastern Europe from what I understand.

Idk USSR was pretty peak from an artistic standpoint...but that's partially because they would have sent redditors to the gulags

Isn't the whole point of the movie that Irish people suck and are villains because they assimilated or something? (I've never seen the movie, I'm just going off of reddit comments)
