when rich people hear that we want everyone to get equal access to healthcare, they naturally assume that means they’ll have to suffer the way we do, because they know that their extreme wealth depends fundamentally on our poverty

Stories have meaning, whether fictional or not. People can rightfully take umbrage with the film’s messaging, and one that is explicitly engaging with politics and history is certainly not beyond reproach.

Maybe because the movie is a whitewashed account of American history? You think the story would be the same if he were black? His whiteness is incredibly important, and (one) reason why the film is seen as so retrograde.

You know that thing where an 80 year old gay man who clearly has some issues writes a movie about him growing up gay and his father is also coincidentally gay and his father pimps his underage son out to a gay graduate student that the father actually wants to have sex with, but instead the son and the graduate…

Not trying to be that guy, since I generally hate that guy, but...for all of the loud freaking out online any time a movie pairs an older man with a teenage girl, how exactly did Call Me By Your Name escape all of that? Is it just because REPRESENTATION IS SO IMPORTANT that no one really cared, or am I missing…

not to be that person but why are we clambering for a sequel to a movie about a teenager and an adult in a sexual relationship? it’s not like the lgbt community already deals with enough shitty stigma and rhetoric about pedophilia 

Given Zahler‘s CV it will be ‘a small frontier town populated by white men attempting to fend off a crew of evil, murderous, subhuman Mexican criminals’.

Oh a hyper-violent western, what a novel idea from the ... guy who... made Bone Tomahawk.

Pass. I’m kinda past “ultra-violent” anything. 

Wow a hyper violent Western we haven't had a new one of those in weeks. 

Ugh. There’s nothing more disingenuous that powerful men calling for “civility” in the face of people taking strong political stands. 

I spend my Saturday afternoons volunteering at Upward Bound at Pace University, an extracurricular program that provides college prep and counseling for low-income, first-generation, college-bound high school students.

Oh honey, nobody asked you. Mind your own trash fires.

I mean yeah they are being ignored, by you.

Are you a real person or a Markov chain construct from a reactionary incel bingo card?

“Guys, I’ve been a liberal since birth, I love The Gays and support white genocide and I think Obama is bey on fleek. But Captain Marvel is why Trump won. I am very sincere.”

While I do acknowledge that there is, in fact, a segment of society that we could call “The Regressive Left,” it is a group that includes idiots like anti-vaxxers, not people who want to balance the scales in journalistic opportunity. 

You should ask yourself why you feel so threatened.

“As a leftist, I’m sick of all these marginalized people taking away attention from the true victims: straight white men."

Aren’t you afraid that if you write ‘regressive leftist’ three times in a post, Nancy Pelosi will appear and eat your face?
