there is a reason it works. it requires two step thinking, something people seem to often fail.

Personally I'm much more likely to engage with and be disappointed with Contra because I was actually a fan of hers, which cannot be said of Vaush. Contrapoints used to hold a special and high place in online left queer spaces that Vaush obviously never held.

I can almost guarantee you that every person that instantly disconnected felt utter disgust due to the obvious racism emanating from the interviewer, and weren't NK secret agent coders.

I always thought of these things as inherited lands or businesses not for profit but a desire to do whatever they're doing. I assume the Picard family has ran and managed this vineyard for generations, and it doesn't generate profit anymore. It just makes wine for the love of it, same with Siskos father's restaurant. I do think it's a bit of a contradiction. But maybe the invention of unlimited energy and FTL made this kind of thing far less important. Anyone could find a place to setup a vineyard with a bit of work.

No, it's asking you to apply your theory to practice. Take from the theoretical and apply it to history and reality.

Yes, uncritically good. It's a pretty simple morality play, N'avi and any humans who are on their side good, Colonizers and anyone who helps them bad. At best you feel some sympathy for the mains villains because they aren't on the right side, they just haven't seen it yet.

They kill the colonizers attacking them down to the man. The whales and squids fight back and it's pretty satisfying to see whales fuck up giant whaling vessels.

Jake sort of actively rejects that role and just wants to live with his family in peace. The colonizers push him into self defense because they won't stop exploiting.

Does Dances with Wolves have the protagonist completely integrated into indigenous culture and society, with an indigenous wife and children? I honestly have no idea.

I'm pretty sure Cameron has said the final film(s) will take place at least partially on Earth. A counter attack isn't out of the realm of possibilities. Also I think the direction they may go is that humans are subsumed into the N'avi life and culture by way of Eywa, the hivemind goddess of Pandora. We've never once had a single moment that justifies human society, other than like scientists just doing some science and medicine.

The Brotherhood would have almost zero problem with the Legion if they leave the Brotherhood alone. Their whole thing is gate keeping and hoarding pre-war tech and the Legion explictially bans it use.

There are cavaets to this though. They (Legion) attempt to obtain advanced energy weapons from the weapon dealing Van Graths, but are foiled by most players. And Caesar despite banning tech for his followers, indulges in it for himself. His reasons for banning it's use by his soldiers is contextual and mostly a means of social control and discipline rather than arbitrarily ideological (in his mind). And will most likely be abandoned when he deems it nessecary, which would then obviously bring his nation to the attention of the Brotherhood. Also the Legion is hostile to the Brotherhood, you need to destroy their last bunker in the Mojave to advanced the Legion main quest.
