Part of my initial post was the idea that when gender gets attached to something like a movie, all criticism becomes difficult. That is, it becomes impossible to say if the film is good or bad. You heard the news I was a feminist, and determined I must think it’s good. It means you didn’t read my post. I didn’t “feel…

It’s because “white” isn’t a race to a guy like ol’ Huck; “male” is barely a gender, it’s a default set of rules for everyone (which excludes ladies, because they’ve got a gender to worry about). To the Hucks of the world, identities are for other people.

Jesus.

I don’t think trickle down feminism accomplishes any real goals, certainly not during the lifespan of any woman whose livelihood and safety demands swift progress. It’s a capitalistic answer to a social problem born of capitalism.

It’s the difference between a salesman and a preacher. A salesman can love her product as much as a preacher can love her religion. But the belief that policy and profit are two sides of the same coin is distinctly stronger in America; it makes us question if any politician can be passionate about what they propose.

The difference between this Tory and David Pigfun Cameron is that her anti-immigration, Human Rights Act-repealing, Iraq war-sponsoring behavior is at once more right-wing and less assailable than his. She’s beyond reproach—the champion of the new European model.

#ShoutYourLasikEyeSurgery

We could start an “End Lasik Eye Surgery” campaign with identical tactics. Eye surgery is freaky-deaky, you ever seen that shizz?

The problem (?) is that we on the left refuse to justify those means, no matter how noble the end. The tactic itself is disgraceful and, however successful it might be, we refuse to compromise our integrity in that way. Our integrity is the only thing that keeps us from being more successful, paradoxically.

This popular aggregator has 50+ critics’ comments, and it has the average sitting at a fairly high 79%. If you read those critics, you’ll have read at least thirty critics that do not call the movie mediocre. As an aggregate, critics consider the movie above average. Maybe “people say” it’s bad, but those are just the…

Surely Megyn Kelly will reveal herself as the erstwhile Dworkinian reincarnation of women’s liberation that Vanity Fair makes her out to be. Remember, she asked Donald Trump a question. It was a kinda tricky question, too.

The truth is, almost any other set of actors would have made for a worse Ghostbusters. These were specifically the kind of comedians the franchise has always needed to work, and they don’t have the bizarre stonery frat-boy comic sensibilities of the Hill/Rogan ensemble.

How fucking pissed off will people be that the new Ghostbusters is a solid comedy-adventure film which—while never capable of being as good as the original—still finds itself among the best films of the summer?

In this scene, Zachary Quinto seems to be overjoyed that he’s not Cooper, Shayk, or David Cameron.

Like all amphibians, Newt struggles to balance his two lives.

Your argument has consisted of my level of stupidness, and how it relates to my motherfuckerness, oldest pal. Both are important points, but neither are well-equipped to explain this particular issue. We’ve all come to respect your keen mind around here: You don’t equivocate, you talk logic. But today you’ve come up…

So, to you, white is “right-wing” and black is “left-wing”. The black guy who says “fuck government, I’ve got my gun!” is different from the white guy (you) who says “fuck government, I’ve got my gun!”. For only one reason.

What made their terrorism “left-wing”?

I do think we have more and more news about fewer and fewer problems, on the whole. However, some problems and some dangerous ideologies are back on the rise over the last 10 to 15 years. The strange shape of our new media landscape makes it hard to gauge just how threatening these ideologies are.

This is what the march towards widespread right-wing terrorism looks like.
