you ever see a take that's so terminally online it loops back to being something a real life MAGA-hat-wearer would say?

I love it when anti-Israel dingbats try to say that "Palestine is a queer issue!" and argue that all LGBT people and all leftists should be anti-Israel because of the "intersectionality" between gay rights and Palestinian rights, or when anti-Israel dingbats try to argue that "Palestine is an indigenous issue/colonization issue" because they're in favor of indigenous land-back movements until an indigenous land-back movement succeeds.
Yeah, people with various different identities have different experiences than people who aren't those things. But that doesn't mean that we need to center the discussion on Palestine every time people are trying to advance the rights of other disadvantaged groups (see: the Women's March organizers). Being a minority in multiple aspects doesn't mean you're obligated to take a strong stance in adherence to the organizers of your movement on every other situation. And it's not helping your case here (not that you have a defendable thesis to begin with).
I'm an autistic disabled ADHD lesbian female religious indigenous-to-Eretz-Yisrael Jew. Sounds like an intersectional identity to me. But the anti-Zionist crowd chooses to ignore any viewpoint that could challenge their argument, while saying they support LGBT rights, feminism, indigenous rights, disability rights, and the rights of minority religions. There's no intersectional progressiveness in supporting a terrorist regime that slaughters women, LGBT people, religious minorities, and the indigenous inhabitants of the land.

The one thing I hate more than survival-in-times-of-political-turmoil advice whose main commandment is "be kind to strangers uwu" is the polar opposite that is like, "Buy a rifle. Look into getting a concealed carry license. Drop out of your major and get an engineering degree. Build your computer from scratch," like, holy shit, Mad Max, have you thought about perhaps attending a political protest? If you befriend a syndicate member they might let you play the drums.

The "Rian Johnson is secretly a radical proletarian Marxist putting agitprop in his silly gay murder mystery movies" is dovetailing nicely with the fact that 5 years ago this website was convinced the man was a literal Nazi because of his space movie

Okay, seriously, who the FUCK are those assholes who keep shouting "Four more years" to drown out Palestine protests at Biden rallies?! That's the kind of behavior I'd only expect from the most hardcore Trump fans, how the fuck does someone even remotely on the left get to that point??? What the fuck?!

on one hand yeah it was kinda on u (and on me) to walk into the barbie movie thinking u were gonna get anything more radical than pre-chewed buzzfeed era feminism. on the other hand it's hard to not have ur expectations be a little informed by everyone on the internet treating the movie like it was the fifth wave of feminism (for better or for worse)

I am sorry but the bishop wanting every other city in wallachia to get destroyed so he can get power is just??? So stupid??? Like i get that it's probably the point of the characters that he's power hungry and insane but. No fucking person ever thinks like that. It's just so blatantly obvious that he's holding the idiot ball because of the "religion bad" message

the reality is when you are making concessions in your rhetoric, you have to realize you start making more serious concessions. decades of equivocation on abortion allowed for abortion access to be eroded piece by piece, trimester by trimester, and first from poor women because it was increasingly unaffordable and excluded from government funding. abortion was legal, but it wasn’t accessible. rhetoric matters because rhetoric creates reality. it does not help us to have abortion allowed exclusively in a handful of circumstances, nor does it make it easier for women who even fit those circumstances because they will be put through hell to prove it

tbh i think i'm sick of categorizing writing as "good" or bad" outside of an individual experience with a thing (and that can change each time you experience it) or clear flaws that you can point to and explain the consequences of. and even then! sometimes flaws make art better! i tend to care a lot more about art that i had to fight to understand and love than something that doesn't encourage me to think about my reaction
