I was reading A Christmas Carol again and I think Ebeneezer Scrooge might actually be the bad guy? Like I thought he was good because he lives in a mansion and can sleep comfortably at night. The ghosts are clearly the bad guys because they’re trespassing and violating his castle doctrine to show him all the non-woke things he did. It kinda reminds me of cancel culture and how saying the N-word a few times results in a bunch of social media ghosts bringing that up in future arguments. I used to read that and want to shoot the ghosts with the guns under my pillow which Scrooge would have done if I wrote the book. But I guess he’s supposed to be the bad guy because they’re actually showing him consequences of bad things he does? Like Tiny Tim isn’t supposed to die because he can’t afford health insurance?
Judge Dredd is a great comic ruined by chuds with no media literacy.
Although this guy somehow also thinks the Galactic Empire were the good guys, so definitely extra high concentrations of Hitler particles.
I see so many empire logos and stormtroopers on the rear windows of cars around my town.
There’s a group of nerds who go around cosplaying as stormtroopers. They are indistinguishable from confederate reenactors.
I would bet a pretty large amount of money that he absolutely loved the movie before he found out it was satire.
Dunno what “self-evidently good” is even supposed to mean here too. Evidenced by what? What evidence? We should let a tonne of utterly traumatised people that have murdered others be the only voters and literally nobody else is allowed unless they’re stone cold killers? Monstrous idea.
I’d say I def fall into the Conservative side of the spectrum
I never would’ve guessed.
Okay, so the Judge Dredd thing is boilerplate fash stuff, he fails to get the satirizing, but I’m more perplexed with his take on Star Wars. It’s very explicit throughout the series that there’s a seedy criminal underworld in the galaxy that the empire is at best unable to contain meaningfully, at worst is actively utilizing when convenient. Jabba’s operation isn’t exactly a secret yet the empire clearly lets it slide. How the hell does he get “peace and justice” out of that?
It’s not even an organic take to have!
Nothing the Empire does is good!
They’re openly shown to execute civilians, oppress damn near everyone and even BLOW UP AN ENTIRE PLANET WITH PLANS TO KEEP DOING IT!
The only way you walk out of Star Wars thinking that the Empire are good guys is if you are a literal fascist!
Of course they’re horrible. That’s the fascist mentality, a little genocide is worth it to make the streets clean and the trains run on time. But the empire didn’t keep the streets clean, they were horrible at it. This dude just sees someone with a badge cracking skulls and automatically assumes that means crime and injustice aren’t a problem.
There’s also a shitload of crime in Mega-City One and the fascist enforcers who hold all the legal power are pretty much all shown to be massively corrupt, so lol and also lmao.
“I’ve been evil since birth, is this perhaps bad?”
Adults who derive their morality from legality will forever be children to me
Some 20-30 year old manchild is gonna tell me they think “the law was a solid rock in a sea of chaos” in defense of a piece of media which was mocking all of that with a straight face?
Then again, he is a self-admitted conservative, maybe it should be more impressive he reads things that aren’t InfoWars or gun fetishist magazines
