Worldwide eternal Frankenstein living death slavery

There’s a big difference between hateful rhetoric and engaging in literal violence against… whomever?

You don’t fucking say?

See, the danger in your position, and I don’t think I can stress this enough, is that whomever you decry as “oppressor” suddenly can be punished mercilessly, brutally, horrifically without fear of moral repercussions.

Haven’t you ever asked yourself WHY Nazis could look at something like this:

and feel nothing? Not compassion, nor pity, nor remorse? Hasn’t that ever struck you as… bizarre?

It’s because the German citizen was trained to view the Jew as their oppressor. The shifty Jew who controlled the banks and sat in privileged positions of power.

This was how the German convinced themselves they were owed a pound of flesh.

When the Communists murdered five million of their own upper middle class what do you think the justification was? That they were oppressors. Literally they labeled them, and I’m not making this, “The Tightfisted”.

“bloodsuckers, vampires, plunderers of the people and profiteers, who fatten on famine.” Stalin describing the Kulaks.

You’re being manipulated into labeling a group of people “The Oppressor” to justify the truly heinous shit that’s to come. Like the Nazi, and the Communist, and all the rest you’re no really different from, you’re following the same timeline, you’re just earlier on it.

The actual Son Of God comes to Not-Israel to help them after being oppressed by the bigoted fascists, and then has to work to keep the traumatized genocide survivors from constant civil war. The major foes are Fascists who've held control over the planet and consider it more theirs than the natives, and later Collectivist fascists who see people as interchangeable and spend all their time infiltrating groups to suborn them.

The Greedy Capitalists are trusted allies and comic relief, often critical help. The Plucky Underdogs have a chip on their shoulder. The local Fascist(2) Cop is a popular support, the Plucky Doctor is an arrogant Poonhound, the local representative of Fascists(1) is a conniving spy. The Son of God gets his hands dirty to win the war.

And when everything is said and done the Son of God beats up the Antichrist and ascends to Heaven, and all is right with the world!

The thing is, just because it's not about politics you don't agree with, it doesn't mean it's not enjoyable, if they're good to begin with.

The simplest example would be Don't look up, a very good movie with an overt "progressive" message. Regardless I mostly relate to the feeling of being surrounded by idiots... Or rather, being surrounded by people more concerned with the politics of stuff, rather than the material reality, both ways.

Not everything revolves around personal politics. I'm a Christian conservative, but I enjoy the 60's protest rock music I grew up with. I like Star Trek. I like (some) punk music. I like songs about Valhalla.

When there's a heavy-handed message in a piece of media I like, I ignore the message.

You're allowed to do that. Try it sometime.

But insisting every bit of media you consume must validate your personal politics does nothing but limit your entertainment choices.

And if your views are swayed by media, you're not very confident in your beliefs to begin with.

People are allowed to like stuff. Fandoms are going to have all sorts of people in them. You don't get to dictate what people are allowed and not allowed to enjoy.

I've said before that carving out your own corner of a fandom is better than bitching about other fans you disagree with. It's what Christian and right-wing fans have done. Heck it's even what fans who don't like popular headcanons and ships have had to do. Fandoms have never been homogeneous blocks.
