Luke Ross and his mods suck.

That 19 percent doesn’t know or care what’s going on because it hasn’t personally affected them yet.

This is why America deserves this.

So you hope the oppressors gain a conscience. Good fuckin luck with that. Violence to enforce is rarely justified, violence to defend usually is. Pacifism has never gained rights or prevented the loss of them.

How does one overthrow the shackles of oppression without violence?

This is what a US American civil war looks like.

Straight up badonk.

We have to do the latter regardless because we’ve proven the current ones are fundamentally broken and all it took was to act in bad faith. Literally all of this because there’s intentionally no system in place to account for bad faith or no confidence.

Yeah they’re gonna do what Netflix does.

Yeah they’re gonna do what Netflix does.

Yeah they’re gonna do what Netflix does.

Unfortunately that’s like most people outside.

Well that’s fucking stupid when we know deplatforming works. Also you’re using specific definitions to deliberately misunderstand the paradox of tolerance so this is a stupid argument in the first place. If you allow those that break the social contract to remain in society, they will cause society to break down as that is their express and explicit goal. A fucking high school intellect wrote that garbage article. Also, fuck pacifism, that’s a tool of fascists.

as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion

Yeah we’re well past that point and have been definitely since alternative facts got normalized in discourse. This is a post-truth society. And next time use your own words instead of a gpt.

Why are you listening to them when you could just watch the show and make your own opinions? Maybe that’s how the duffer bros intended it, but that’s absolutely not how it came across the screen. I think they got a little high on their own supply because absolutely nothing whatsoever in the show or anything eleven did conveyed the idea that she was supposed to represent childhood magic. I think they had just read IT maybe or were confusing ST for for a random Stephen King story because there was nothing of that at all in the show. It wasn’t that kind of show, any metaphors or analogies are surface level. So you can read their botched interpretation that clearly didn’t come through in the final product or you can just watch the ending with media literacy and see that literally every character remaining gets the happiest possible outcome.

The stories are entertaining but the messaging and world building are lazy and inconsistent. And then yeah the books are filled to the brim with the sort of casual racism borne not only of ignorance but from a lack of interest in educating yourself in the first place. It’s just full of holes which is fine for kids books, but the belligerence is grating.

The fact that she’s “dead” means she’s finally free, and I’m pretty sure Mike’s speech about what if she’s still alive was a strong hint that eventually he’d find her again. Every character got the best possible outcome all considered.

Sure but nobody important cares and he’s just repeating himself ad nauseum.

Why do people keep listening to this guy?

I disagree with basically that whole interpretation. And the ending was explicitly hopeful. I think you just took it personal that what you thought was gonna happen didn’t.

Yeah but when they cut the corpus callosum it’s like they’re unfused but still one body. We’re all Pacific Rim gundams.
