remember how five years ago people here were acting like "tankie" described a completely imaginary archetype invented by liberals to make communism look bad, because people genuinely believed that a communist would be naturally inured to bad or reactionary politics by virtue of being Enlightened?

anyway I've been seeing a lot of people with hammer and sickle names and avatars saying shit like "goyslop" and the r word, no reason I'm bringing that up.

I say this as a Cuban-American: if you don't wanna be defined by the worst members of your community, spend less time on whataboutism and trying desperately to convince people on Twitter looking for a cheap laugh that you're One of the Good Ones. And like. Focus instead on loudly and publicly telling the racists in your community to eat shit.

did you see...

and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.

Finally a take on the 2026 Odyssey that isn’t focused on “trans people in movie = pushing woke agenda”

goddd it's been so hard disliking this production for Normal People Reasons basically since it was announced, and seeing people constantly hating it for bullshit reasons. like no I do not have a problem with Elliot Page or Lupita Nyong'o in this movie beyond the fact that they are hollywood a-listers like Everyone Else In The Cast.

It's interesting how some of those fake mobile game ads seem to be backpedalling on the openly misogynistic framing and making an effort to appeal to female players instead, but whoever's making the ads clearly hasn't the slightest idea how to aim for that audience.

free use is kind of a funny kink bc it relies on the idea that everybody wants to touch you and have sex with you but what if they don't. what if you tell everybody at the party you're free use but they all ignore you and mind their own business

& honestly there's no debate to be had the zendaya earrings are orders of magnitude worse than kim kardashian wearing that marilyn dress. yes that piece was a one of a kind unique textile made so specifically for marilyn monroe she had to be sewn into it. at the end of the day it was a ~70 year old usamerican cultural artefact being repurposed by an american for an american cultural event and everyone involved knows exactly where the dress came from + what happened to it + where it went afterwards. zendaya is wearing the looted (or forged) cultural heritage of a people her government is currently bombing & whose lives they have been deliberately making unliveable for decades to a movie premiere that has fuck all to do with iran. we don't know where those discs came from where they were found or by whom & we never will. AND the jeweller appears to have altered them substantially from their original condition. destroying a people's cultural heritage at the same time you destroy their country + their lives so you can look good on a red carpet One Time i want to fucking hurl
