Why does this feel like the end of Deep Impact, and we're all Tia Leoni?

And now, the end is near… And so I face the final curtain

I didn't realize we were arguing. :-)
That's the cool thing about being individuals… all experiences are unique. My interactions with Millennials in the real world, not just online, have done nothing but confirm the stereotypes.
I think this is one of those times when The AV Club's writers can't be compelled to research their own posts, and the lack of any editors worth a shit create an obvious mistake.
When you talk about the villains being as compelling as the heroes, you said Diamondback. I am 99%… 92% certain that you meant Mahershala Ali's Cottonmouth, not Diamondback. Diamondback sucks, and was the reason the last 3 episodes of Luke Cage were terrible.
If a woman freely chooses to enter into such a situation and finds empowerment through it, who are we to say it is bad?
But, generally, they are lesser idiots. They're so much like the Boomers. They're entitled and spoiled snots who think the world revolves around their feelings. They're making the world a much worse place while they know with a fanatic's belief that they're making it a better place.

I understand progressivism actually has very little to do with progress, and is a name mostly chosen by themselves to help force a a kind of positivity to what they want to achieve, but the methods of progressives are…

or… regressivism.
Yeah… these people are not in any way shape or form "liberal." They demand ideological purity, not intellectual diversity. They pander with intersectionalism and identity politics, which are there to do exactly what you say: pit groups of people against one another to clamber to the top of the grievances pyramid like…
I'm not a right-winger in any sense (though I'm often called that by the modern progressives / regressives), but knowing how many former Obama voters wound up voting for Trump (and not because they suddenly became racists, as the progressives / regressives try to make us believe), I can't help but come to the…
Modern progressives / regressives would be lost without something about which to feel outraged at all times, or without an opportunity to signal their virtue to anyone and everyone who can listen, whether they want to listen or not.
We know he treated his wife like shit, their correspondence is proof of that, regardless of missing context.
Insisting anything, especially art, pass through an ideological purity test in order to be found culturally appropriate is pretty much the direct definition of fascism. And this is a big thrust within the modern progressive movement.
It's not sympathetic though she did it to drive sympathy in her direction.
