I think you’re reminding me why I left t this place, thanks

Edit: don’t forget that purity spirals help no one. I’ve been here since chapo was banned on Reddit and this place has gotten smaller and smaller because of this “if you slightly disagree then you’re a piece of shit” mentally really isn’t helping anything.

Are we still doing the “you can’t like fiction if you’re a socialist” thing?

Hasn’t it gotten old yet? Do you guys really feel better making yourself hate everything?

There’s no such thing as ethical consumption in capitalism, so get off the high horse and try and enjoy what little bit of fun you can carve out, ideally while pirating any of these movies cus fuck paying for that.

I just don’t get the hate, I remember what movies were like before and it wasn’t exactly better. Sure most of these suck but that’s always been true.

Tho admittedly none of these are particularly interesting and I like cbms so yeah… If anything it’ll be fun seeing the shit show when the Flash is released considering Ezra’s crimespree.

That’s what living in propaganda from birth does

Their biggest problem is overcoming the hurdle of re-evaluating 20th-century socialism, which their history and economics education taught them was a complete failure (rather than only mostly a failure) and guaranteed to yield mostly poverty, death, and suffering

let me guess, this was your path to socialism too? It certainly was mine. I remember being like 16 and when I looked up political ideologies it all said socialism was what I was closest to, but obviously that was wrong cus who wants to replicate Stalinist russia? The breaking point finally came from wikipedia of all places, when reading the historical account of what actually happened during the many soviet revolutions. It lays it all out pretty well. When you understand that, and actually understand what sanctions are, it’s hard not to put two and two together and realize that the entire communist world was basically under economic warfare the moment they emerged as a government in Russia. Of fucking course their economy sucked, they were limited to what little they could get on their own for the most part. Socialism wasn’t a failed concept, it was nearly defeated by the elites. But there is nothing stronger than an idea who’s time has come, and the elites are getting scared as fuck for a damn good reason. They understand the underlying economic elements that most regular people consider “marxist” and therefor offlimits like it’s some forbidden knowledge or some shit. They see the class consciousness that the internet is creating, despite it’s flaws it’s changed how humanity interacts with itself. They realize what’s coming and some are trying to oppose it, futially I think.
