In defense of the anons, you probably got the temp ban because that argument is a #1 hit among bad faith trolls coming in to spread their hyperconservstive rhetoric. Unfortunately nuance and the assumption of good faith were among the first casualties of this propaganda war, and it's damned tragic that thats the case.

Hell I'm dead sober and I can't pronounce it, this is some peak orthoepic warfare.

I'd much much prefer they live to reevaluate their opinions, but I do understand the sentiment.

Melt the mirror. Who the fuck does it think it is anyways, shiny things don't belong in the sky.

Boy, they sure are going full Gonzolo Lira over there...

Plus the complete lack of effort on the part of any government anywhere... we are all so fucked.

"Everyone I disagree with is a nazi" Hey so it turns out...

Fucking hell this is vile.

You've a winning argument, to be sure! Not sure where I quantified how much I think hollywood influences culture but okay.

FWIW, obviously popular media both is influential and responds to culture. "Hollywood" really shouldn't be treated as a singular entity if we're trying for a semblance of legitimacy. This is really quickly going to fall into a discussion of the role of the audience and how that's changed in the digital era (vs. when Aristotle first brought it up...), and neither of us care enough to suffer through thay. Suffice to say it's not cut and dry, and beyond that I dont know any better than you do what specific impact they have (and neither do they).

This is a real Im14AndThisIsDeep meme. More people have access to platforms where they can share their creative works than at any other point in human history, if you aren't seeing it then you're not really trying to find it. That point would be fair, too; its hard to find original content (even more so with the rise of AI-driven SEO). It's not the trend in hollywood, but hollywood doesn't define culture NEARLY as much as they'd like to think they do...)

TL;DW:

"Even on this issue, donald trump and his rightwing friends are worse."

One of their previous attempts was this fucking thing, so at least the one clifton is holding won't cause the enemies of democracy to pee themselves laughing...

(I'm sorry but I'm dying to know, whats up with 'ð' ?)
