      In their defense, there are no stupid questions in this community.

      …Although yeah that is hella repetitive. If I’m looking at their history right they haven’t talked about a single other thing for the last 3 months. Not even comments or a random

      You uh, you doing a study or something Hickak? There an answer you’re looking for specifically?

    Is it a pattern for right-wing people to attack films, series and animations with protagonists from minority groups? Or is this an exaggeration?

    Fixed it for you

    The answer is “yes, no exaggeration!” To both

    If they aren’t white, straight man, then it’s a DEI hire

    If it’s the person is a white, straight man, then it’s that they have to work with people that aren’t

    We’re going back to Shakespearean times when only men could be on stage

    "Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.” – G. Michael Hopf

    If I am left wing and the body-left moves left then I am right wing. Extreme Left wing circles around to become extreme right and then moderate.

    They call it history. You spell it P-R-O-P-A-G-A-N-D-A, and the most well read of you think that it’s a small country in east central Africa.

      This best part of that quote, is that it’s the conservatives and the right-wing that are the weak men.

      Weakness in that context is not about being physically strong or working hard. Its weakness that has allowed the owner class to siphon money from the workers for decades. That’s the weakness.

      The blue color men from several generations ago were strong. They put in place worker protections, they gave us the minimum wage, they made it so single income could support a family. They fought, and sometimes died, for the worker.

      And this made soft little boomer and younger conservative babies, who in their softness thought that they were special and hard-working, and that collective action wasn’t needed. They allowed Union protections to be stripped away because they, in their individualism, thought they didn’t need it.

      And now we’ve realized that we need to be strong again, and fight again, to make up for what those weak ass babies lost us.

      And we’re bitter about it.

        precisely. the quote isnt necessarily wrong, but it always gets bandied around by people that cant differentiate between having a backbone and having (somebody elses) stick up their ass
