mine is military sci-fi in general and the conrad stargard series by Leo frankowski

Liking and disliking shit based on politics is lame af, most people are going to disagree with you in life and you gotta take that in stride

That said, I still love South Park even tho it’s takes are bad a lot of the time. Funny when it was making Bezos the villain and quoting Marx last season tho lol

Meaning if I was gonna dislike something based on politics it’d probably be SP, but I really dig it

I guess I meant it’s my favorite right wing cultural product that still is a thing

For me at least it isn’t that I’m “policing” what I watch, more that if I see something in it that leaves a bad taste in my mouth it makes it harder to enjoy. Classic Jontron is good enough that I don’t care that there’s a little voice in my head telling me that he’s an asshole, but modern Jontron is lame enough that it can’t drown out that voice and I have to switch it off.

The very nature of heroic storytelling in some way is fascistic (as fascism is basically what happens if all of society decides to run on the rules of like- Z grade fantasy novel level narratives). That aint gonna make me stop loving Conan or Fafhrd and The Gray Mouser

Meat. I go with a flexitarian approach where I try to avoid it but it’s not a strict rule, and when I do indulge I tend to appreciate it a lot more than I used to and it feels like a delicacy.

I’m still a filthy omni, but now I sometimes think “do I really need to use animal products for this meal?” and also try some vegetarian/vegan dishes.

i can’t escape it since it’s literally my job so i get tons of it free. but really not into it anymore and would probalbly be a flexitarian/veg if i lived alone simply because it’s simpler

I think the US military has cool shit and want to see new technology despite the fact that I also want the military budget to be cut a bit to pay for healthcare and infrastructure and shit and also just reduce the suffering we cause in other countries.

GIB M1A3 ABROOMZ. Also the F-35 can absolutely fly in the rain. It was a factory error that fucked with its shit. Still think it’s a bit of a waste of money considering we have fucking F-22’s that are still basically better than anything else. Even if Russia has slightly better shit than an F-22 their economy is so dogshit that they can’t produce more than like 20 of their best fighters anyway.

Well as I, the only true leftist here, find your argument idealistic.
