Even in leftists spaces this guy’s qualities are outsized and graded on some ridiculous curve. Literally just saw a video of him speaking about race essentialism and I’m honestly rethinking whether I’m living on the same planet with even people I call conrades

Just because he’s tapped into the sentiments of libs doesn’t make him charismatic

Can “minion” please become a slur for fascists?

Portrayed as stupid and incapable of thinking for themselved
incomprehensible language
loved by boomers
ontologically are driven to serve the biggest villain, no matter how much that villain hates them.

I agree, it would have been a good name before the despicable me movies. Now minions are associated with the cute, funny, memeable little guys from the movie who are "evil" but always seem to do good things. I'm sure fascists would love the framing of the popular minion zeitgeist

NGL, I was actually hoping to play up the despicable me angle. Don’t portray them as badass supervillains but as kind of adorable but annoying creatures.

But knowing fascists, they’d love to also be portrayed as mischievous but misunderstood little scamps.
