your mistake is you think they are powerless. news flash, they are currently ALREADY IN POWER. ignoring them just allows them to continue unabated.

obviously the allies were helping the Nazi cause by engaging in warfare against them.

i guess people of color should have just ignored the lynchings and they would have gone away.

you are so fucking incorrect. nazis and fascists have ruined scene after scene, and allowing them a foothold without violent opposition is what ALLOWS them to do this. ignoring them helps them.

allowing them to harass / dox / stalk / spout racist shit until it's normalized and mainstream is what they want. turning a blind eye allows them to achieve this.

throwing a spotlight on them is the best way to expose them. allowing them to harass other with impunity is conveniently the path of least resistance, and also deeply cowardly. not to mention completely ineffectual.

It's been a long road, getting from there to here,
It's been a long time, but my time is finally near.
and then the murders began.

ignoring hatred has never gotten anyone anywhere. you can go back as far as you like, this isn't an internet problem. if you allow them to operate unopposed, they multiply. cockroaches breed in the dark.

is that red meat reference?? bravo. i would have also accepted "i hate you, greenspanDan!"

sometime after people started capitalizing random words in the middle of sentences.

Parallels.

sorry, i think you misunderstood. the unspoken answer to my rhetorical query was "fucking stupid ass dipshits." i wasn't actually positing that nobody cares about action setpieces. i was pointing out the fact that every single person who does is worthless and stupid.

nailed to the x.

humanity's ability to order meaningless bullshit into patterns that have tangible meaning is basically our defining characteristic. crafting cultural detritus and random garbage into instruments of bigotry and hatred is a powerful, uniquely human ability. and of course it should also be opposed and attacked in every…

irrelevant. they've been completely appropriated and repurposed. before the Nazis, the swastika had nothing to do with fascism. that doesn't make it any less offensive now.

ignoring them has failed.

who fucking cares? action setpieces are fucking boring.

Dark Knight is not that good.

SONG!!!!!! … ?

it's interesting that in a movie where the protagonist eventually gets lobotomized by an old friend wearing a baby mask, the scariest motherfucker in the movie is an air conditioner repairman. kudos to Bob Hoskins and Terry Gilliam.
