„I love that the film doesn't have a fatalistic ending. What recourse does the creature have but to live? in all the drudgery and sadness and rejection, what else will you do but keep walking toward the sun?“

Jacob Elordi about Guillermo del Toro’s „Frankenstein“

If you read Frankenstein's creature from the original novel as a personification or metaphor for disabled, queer and/or otherwise marginalized people - as many people writing literature analysis have done ... these days, you wouldn't want the creature to end in a deeply tragic way. Which reminds me of the horrible trope "Bury Your Gays" which has been so overused in the past and has given viewers and readers the problematic idea that there cannot be a happy queer existence. Which reminds me of the horrible trope "Bury Your Gays" (or queers) which has been so overused in the past and has given viewers and readers the problematic idea that there cannot be a happy queer existence.

But queers, disabled and/or otherwise marginalized people deserve stories which do not end with dramatic, tragic deaths of the marginalized characters.

The war has nothing to do with politics or statehood or ridiculous western academic gibberish like "colonialism." It's about an insane, primitive, bloodthirsty, murderous cult wanting to wipe out people they don't like, because their book of fantasies says so, and the targets of those murderous, blood-lusting savages daring to fight back.

That's it. That's what it's about. They tell you what it's about. They wrote an entire Covenant saying exactly that. It's not complicated. It's not profound or deep, nor does it require tens of thousands of dollars of fake classes conducted by frauds and liars to understand.

Islam says to murder all the Jews. So, Hamas wants to murder all the Jews. Israel says, um, no. That's it.

The fact that Israel is out there on their own against these vile demons, and not just holding their own but winning, is one of the most impressive things ever.

There's less than 16m Jews in the world, the population of Israel is less than 10m. There's about 1.9b Muslims in the world, and the populations of Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Syria are about 5.3m, 11m, 112m and 23m respectively. And each of these neighboring countries has pretty much got their own Islamic terrorist organization plotting to eradicate Israel and everyone who lives there.

You know, an actual genocide.

You want to talk about "marginalized people"? How about being completely surrounded by governments and terror organizations who've made it their entire mission to exterminate not just you, but all your family everywhere in the world?
