Gentlemen, to evil! (hexbear.net)

I guess this is a step forward. Liberals used to support evil in reality, like the Iraq war, but then they would use fantasy to virtue signal that they are actually the good guys by not supporting the Empire in Star Wars or something like that.

Not anymore! Now they are just like "kill kill kill"

look, i know liberals always thought this way, but i really don't like how mask off they've been over the last 3 months and I really wish they'd slip it back on

it's almost like they're super stoked they've been given permission to do full fascism

A perfect example of why reeducation is necessary.

re-education is for your racist uncle who hates communism because he thinks we literally want to chop off his dick and starve him to death

people like Ben over here... I'll just say I don't think re-education will turn him into a reasonable person

Wait, we're not doing that?

It's voluntary but according to chuds another part of the re-education is force-femming so.

The reeducation camp where they just force the inmates to watch James Cameron's Avatar series on loop until their opinions improve

The most enjoyable parts of the Avatar movies is when humans get got.

sicko-pog when some motherfucker in a helicopter gets skewered by a nine foot long arrow

Me watching most of the movie: this is some appropriationist white saviour bullshit

Me watching some megafauna bulldoze through a bunch of machines: this fucking rocks. 10/10, no notes

Literally hunting the poor for sport, SMH can't use anything as a joke/iperbole nowadays because then you find out it's real and grim

Ben Dreyfuss has literally posted about paying an addict $50 at a party so he could supposedly hunt & shoot him with a paintball gun before and of course, is Richard Dreyfuss' failson. What made you think he was even a 'liberal' (lol) beyond his dad trying to get Bush impeached during the Iraq war? His shitty MotherJones work?? michael-laugh

[-] Sons_of_Ferrix@hexbear.net 23 points 4 months ago

Wtf were they mining in that movie anyway? What were the humans using it for?

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago

surely he's being tongue in cheek here

One of the things I LOVE about Avatar is how little of a shit the human capitalist society gives to its people. We know that unobtanium is valuable, but to whom? Jake Sully, a person who fought for the empire, should theoretically be receiving the spoils. Instead, he is tossed out with no use of his legs, which we learn that in-universe can actually be healed- but not without a hefty fee to the capitalist grifters. Just like the real world, unobtanium is only useful - and profitable - to those at the very top. And, just like the real world, Jake Sully has been beat up and spat out by the evils of empire, creating a revolutionary ripe to betray the human settlers.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
