Lots of people are so keen on hating Nolan they're like "why didn't he make a movie about how rape and murder is good actually", but in a progressive way, I guess.
Making it a movie about how perfidy is dangerous to the fabric of society and self-destructive is good, especially considering the current wars.
It is good that they cut the "nobody" shit from the odyssey actually, because it's kind of dumb.
Why didn't Polyphemus tell the other cyclopes, "no you assholes, I was hurt by a guy called *nobody*"?
This is the kind of thing you can gloss over in a poem but not when you actually show it on film.
i enjoyed the odyssey film for what it was but the people in the tags on this site are such nerds, fully crashing out because a myth wast told the exact same way it was told when it was originally written
Israel literally did a genocide and people are still pearl-clutching about "On the Jewish Question".
The sets in the Odyssey were good but the costumes (specifically the armors) were terrible. I don't understand why. Best as I can describe it everyone looks like a Greek themed marvel superhero.
I really dgaf about hotd, haven't even watched the second season, but it will forever be hilarious how all the asoiaf tumblr scholars/BNF continue to suck its dick sooo much while performatively trashing GoT
this is getting notes in the year of 2026 and seriously I've never been happier watching the asoiaf scholars twisting their balls in a knot trying to paint the show as deep and woke when it's just a poorer more boring more sexualized version of GoT
In what universe is it more sexualized? I think you just don't remember how trashy GoT was. It was the most 14 year old boy-core show ever made.
Someone needs to make a full list of all that cowardly, namby-pamby language ASOIAF bitches use to describe Mirri Maz Duur’s specific form of death, “executing,” “disposing of,” “sacrificing,” etc so they can avoid ruining their carefully maintained facade of false progressivism by saying “I believe that sometimes it is morally acceptable for gang rape survivors to be publicly burned to death by a white girl” with their whole chests.
someone needs to make a full list of the ways in which dumbasses in this fandom use racial language as an excuse to celebrate the forced stillbirth of a 14 year old bridal slave so that they can thinly veil their misogyny by saying "I believe that it is morally acceptable for a rape victim to be forcefully sterilised for the crime of carrying her master's baby" with their whole chest.
The way we talk about "patriarchy" has made people forget there were (and still are) actual, literal patriarchal society and those are actually very different from what we have in developed capitalist countries...
(spent too long on Tumblr voice) actually the status quo is okay! It's okay to be the status quo! you don't have to be anything besides the status quo! #statusquoaffirmation #statusquosafe
Would you consider yourself a reformist? Or do you have a sort of "reforms as a road to revolution" kinda thinking
i think the beauty of reforms is that they either secure a better quality of life for people and a victory to build from or they expose that capitalism can't really sustain that, at which point the political point is in our favor. if you organize around capitalism's alleged "absolute limits" then you are practically demonstrating the adequacy (or otherwise) of your account of the system and what it is or isn't capable of providing. i don't think you can just reform away capitalist social institutions entirely, but i think reforms can be a way to push political messaging and clarify what capitalism can meaningfully offer. but absent a political movement pushing for those reforms, it's all just hypothetical and you're trying to convince people you're right with no obvious stakes. if you can develop a movement that has lower-level goals and winnable reforms, you can scale that up and also capitalize on social frustrations where they arise to push that toward a non-reformist politics that centers around a layer of society that has built itself up and learned how to fight for itself
All that stuff already happened. There used to be social democracies in Europe and they're all withering away because those are bad policies which impede capitalist accumulation on which they depend.
What do we think of social democracy (kinda) in the global south? Qaddafi, Perón, Nasser etc. What should be the Marxist stance on critical support and stuff ?
I feel like those are sufficiently different kinds of guys that you can't make a blanket judgements on them under the umbrella "social democrats".
Qaddafi: very bad man in hindsight.
Peron and Nasser did okay developmentalism and the latter was an actual anti-Imperialist who did actual, literal war against the British and French Empires and Israel, so that's good. But ultimately those are the leaders of capitalist states who did repress workers so.
What would you say was very bad about Qaddafi?
Just you know, the standard stuff, being a dictator, banning political organizations, being corrupt, firing on protesters. That's what liberals and democrats are criticizing him for too but it's not *wrong*. He also wanted to abolish primary schools for some reason?
Plus toward the end he was liberalizing the economy and trying to cozy up to the west so he doesn't even really get that anti-imperialist cred.
Problems with guys like Qaddafi is they hang out to long, way past the point where the bad has caught up to the good.

Waiting for "Uber drivers are petit bourgeoisie because they own the means of production (car they might not even own)" to be a real take that people have, as opposed to any real analysis of the ownership of like. Uber. The app.
btw the whole "you are actually an independent contractor and not an employee" thing is THE ENTIRE GIG ECONOMY GRIFT. It's the mechanism by which workers are being deprived of rights. It's the most transparent way to dress up exploitation in a thin veneer of privilege imaginable, how the fuck can this website— oh. Right. Of course.
I saw this in the wild a while ago. I am choosing to believe they are just from a place where there aren't taxis and they don't know how taxis work.
No but this is profoundly stupid. The status of petit bourgeois is not determined purely through ownership of tools, it is through the ownership of one's own labor power, which is to say that that labor power is sold directly and independently on the market, B2B or B2C. Uber drivers and Taxi drivers (at least in Austria) cannot be said to be running an enterprise because without Uber or the Taxi company, they are nothing, even if they own their own car. To argue otherwise is to argue that the construction worker who brings their own hammer to work loses proletarian character, at least in a small way. As OP correctly points out, it is the company delegating ownership of the tools of production that the proletariat that the proletariat's exploitation does not decrease, but increases. On top of this, Uber drivers do not sell to the customer, instead the company determines the minimum fare the driver would be willing to accept for the ride.
This is correct in the main, except that the status of petty bourgeois is not rigorously determined by anything, (it has always been a moral category, not a scientific one) least of all "ownership of one's labor power" which proletarians also have (that's how they sell it.)
Every other social media platform is slowly reinventing old school tumblr from first principles. I guess a recession + Y2K slop + downwardly mobile college grad pseudointellectualposting will do that to you
"Downwardly mobile college grad" there's nothing downwardly mobile about it, it's college student trying to feel radical while finishing their stem degrees.
Why does sheepstealer speak Valyrian
Olivia Cooke's face when her son kisses her is perfect.
Wtf making way to "oh, right, Targaryens" before deciding to just roll with it.
Browsing the "fakeboy" and assorted tags on Tumblr goes a long way to convince you that transmen are men. Only men could be so misogynistic lol.
