Counter-revolutionary! You will be re-educated when we usher in the worker’s paradise. Bernie marched with MLK!!!!

Let me guess, anyone to the right of Trotsky isn’t left enough for you are they, comrade gatekeeper?

Sadly, this is low-rent Leninism that a lot of progressives buy into.

Lindsay Ellis has a ton of really great video essays. Her three-parter on why The Hobbit movies blew so hard is a low-key masterpiece. I think she does videos for PBS now.

Exactly. They conveniently leave out that they want modern American gender politics retrofitted onto a Chinese story. Isn’t this what the kids today would call “problematic” and be decidedly un-woke? 

This whole race to see who can be the “wokest of them all” seems to just have turned into a race to see who can be most literal-minded.

I understand why people are getting tired of “social” critiques of popular culture and art. It’s all the same recycled takes and magic phrases everyone learned on tumblr, second hand,…

“I’ve always thought the whole *point* of “A Girl Worth Fighting For” was to mock the soldiers.”

I literally saw this movie when I was 10 years old (when it came out) and I thought this was obvious.

I think it went a bit further than “unfortunate optics”. The Kylie Jenner Pepsi video was “unfortunate optics”. Fonda went to pall around with the Viet Cong, who had no compunction about raping, torturing, and murdering their countrymen and of course POWs. There is a reason for all those stark images of South…

From one Jew to another. Jews are an ethnicity.

“my ethnicity is American”

That’s a nationality.

“bitch, you are fucking jewish. do you not know any of your own history? we could have been friends but instead you chose to be trash.”

I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re not trying to erase an entire group of people and are just ignorant, but please educate yourself and stop speaking about what groups you clearly aren’t a part of ‘are’ or ‘are not’. Jews are an ethnic group. You can get DNA tests that will literally…

Definitely don’t agree with cdwag14, but Jews are an ethnic group. There is a religious component, but it’s optional. You don’t have to practice Judaism. You can be 100% Jewish and 100% atheist.

Except over half of Jews in Israel are Sephardic or Mizrahi (aka from North Africa or the Middle East). They’re indistinguishable from Arabs. Are Arabs also white now?

You do realize that there are hundreds of thousands of black Israelis? It’s not like she would have stood out in Tel Aviv.

Said literally everyone in every generation in history ever.

Leave it to the basic-ass Swifties to come up with a low-rent, less-compelling version of Larry-ism.

Yeah, I was watching and was like, this is some Tennessee Williams level family bullshit.

Patricia Clarkson is like a composite of every Southern Gothic matriarch ever. 

If you want more Jodie Comer: She is also the lead (Elizabeth of York) in the Starz show The White Princess and also the BBC supernatural mystery Remember me (Netflix).

Not sure why an “anthology series” is that difficult to comprehend.

You know, where stories are tied together thematically rather than by plot or characters. I’ve heard they’ve been doing those since.....like.....telling stories became a thing.
