Also, not sure trump has said that about trans people. Think he's saving it for the midterms. You're just saying crap.

Removing DEI, stripping trans service people of their rights and benefits, denying trans people their identity... Yeah, sure, I'm just talking crap.

I can explain what i mean when i use words and actually consider stuff intellectually, rather than relying on shallow understandings and gut emotional reactions that barely rise past the level of aesthetics and i valorize and absolutely never explore or apply nuance to. My conclusions flow from my observations rather than the other way around. I tend to revel in rather than abhor complexity. Hey...

There are fascist intellectuals too. Remember Oppenheimer for example? There were many nazi scientists in nazi Germany. Being a fascist doesn't automatically mean being dumb or ignorant. It means having a lack of compassion as they don't care about causing harm to others and they they believe there's a rank in people, in which they are better than others. Ubermensch and untermensch. They believe some people are more human than others and deserve more rights. Dehumanizing groups of people is usually done to justify crimes against humanity. Murder, torture (like forced medical experimentation like Mengele did), slavery, re-education, sterilization, extermination, etc.

No matter how evil, fucked up, imbicile, hateful or corrupt someone may be, they are still human and should be treated as such. Even if they don't treat others like that. Because classifying someone or a group as less human is fascism.

I am better than those bad people. I'm a better person. I'm not more human than them.

Look at the world's history, or what's happening right now. Humans are fucking evil and fucked up. Some are good, some are bad, but we're all still human.

I once copied the entire movie folder from a friend. To hide his porn, he renamed it all to look like regular movies. Sadly he had a really bad taste.

I like Homelander because he's so fucked up, so sick and twisted, such a well written roll and perfectly performed. But I like dystopian worlds, as entertainment. I like Gaspar Noé movies. But I can't say Homelander is a good guy, no. Just pure evil.

But it's the same with Darth Vader. Who would think he's a good guy? You can like him for being cool and evil, but saying he's the good guy is the same as saying Homelander is a good guy, isn't it?

We were talking about earth. In Star Trek earth is nice.

... Said Hitler about the jews. Said Netanyahu about Palestinians. Said Trump about trans people.

If you think you are superior and consider them untermenschen, how are you any different from a fascist exactly?

Thanks to laws I live in a wealthy country where I can walk safely on the street anywhere any time without being in danger. No one has guns, there's safe infrastructure, crime levels are low. But if you live in the US, a corrupt and failed state, or any other corrupt country, I get your sentiment.

Scifi and fantasy also try to mirror the real world. In star wars, the whole story about the empire and the rebellion is basically the story of any great Empire in history. It becomes too big, crooked people take over, it becomes corrupt, it becomes too restricted, too evil to keep power, rebels will fight against oppression and the empire will fall. With a new government filling the vacume, and the whole story starts over again. Heroes become villains. Good guys become bad. They all have their reasons, they all have twisted justifications for their actions. Whatever filter is used, it's mirroring society. Whether it's space scifi, fantasy or super heroes.

Then what country of the free are you talking about? Have you seen the US? Nothing free about that country.

How do you fold a frozen pizza, it's rock hard when frozen. Also, I would suggest to warm it up before eating, tasted a tiny bit better. But I recommend eating something completely different instead of cardboard. Like a curry or something.
