Finally some good commentary.

If you believe in the Marxist critique of art for art’s sake, congratulations, you are a religious evangelist.

(I do however, believe in Nietzsche’s critique of art for art’s sake, which is that it fundamentally does not exist)

As a Gen Zer who’s into 90s adult animation, I don’t think B&B needs a particular episode. It’s a pretty simple show when it comes down to it, it’s a bunch of gags about stupid people being stupid.

I hate it when Europeans bitch and moan about how much American news they get. I’d be a hypocrite to whine about the one piece of news I get from the most populous country in the world, which is actually kinda similar to something Trump would do.

I don’t know any “real” gamers who would answer a Mario game as their favorite game. Hell they likely wouldn’t be naming a platform game period

2008 is over, it’s socially acceptable to like games that aren’t military shooters now

The people who argue that forums aren’t social media are people who want to be better than everyone else

There’s no smear they could’ve done that’s worse than what Cuomo had going on.

Youre better off asking why women overall are more likely to read.

I think people above a certain age won’t believe me, but I swear when I was growing up (born in 2001,) being smart and having hobbies associated with smartness was made out to be unmasculine. I don’t even know how that happened, but from a young age we all thought of reading as a women’s hobby. I think there weren’t many male characters in children’s media of that era that were smart and not made out to be uncool, but I might be misremembering.

Rank and file MAGA don’t. The actual politicians do.

Elitism and exclusion are how we got to the mess we find ourselves in.

And that’s why I would not let Lemmy users run society. The userbase here is people who like the idea of left-populism, but hate the population.

The fear of “giving people legitimacy” was valid when it was relatively unknown alternative right thinkers that you had to be paying attention to know their names, and even when Trump had an electoral college victory. But in these days, your Trumps and Rogans have more than double the legitimacy that you even have to give out.

When I was a kid (born in 2001,) not having this shit was a point of national pride.

It’s popular in the Northeast and I’d assume the PNW as well.

So basically the states that you can actually play ice hockey in

I’d absolutely post this online but I wouldn’t wear it as a shirt

It’s people who run apologia for anything the Chinese government or even Chinese business does.

Meanwhile I remember that TikTok helped Trump’ s youth outreach campaign with the message they gave when US access was restored, so they’ve already signalled they’re not on my side.

You know, European leftists integrate themselves into football culture

I know the differences in how European and American sporting is organized factor in here, but seriously I don’t think “everything you like is bad actually” is a winning position
