Was that ever in doubt?

Democracy dies in darkness, indeed

Must was only one of the original founders, and I think the company could probably be really great if they got rid of him.

If by “eggs” you mean “Nazi skulls“, then you might be onto something.

Otherwise, no. Fascism is never the answer.

Nobody who voted for Trump actually cared about lower grocery prices. There are racist, bigoted, xenophobes, who only want to hurt people they don’t like. And they love Trump because that’s exactly what he is doing.

And that’s why this sort of attack won’t work. Because, even for those who voted for Trump, who don’t explicitly hate anyone not like themselves, they are delusional enough to never be able to admit they were wrong and to blame anyone who points it out to them for their troubles.

It isn’t just one person. That’s kind of how this works. When one extraordinarily slimy shitty person starts grabbing power, it encourages a lot of other people to become worse than they are by giving into their base impulses and desires, fearing no consequence. Being a piece of shit is an infectious disease in a very real sense.

It reminds me of religious people who asked me, an atheist, if you don’t believe in hell, then what stops you from committing crimes and murdering people? Well, I say to them, I’m just a decent person who understands the difference between right and wrong, and how my actions, especially selfish actions, can negatively affect people around me. I also possess the empathy required to feel bad when people around me are hurt by my actions.

These people don’t ask those questions, and they were morally dubious in the first place.

Yep. Just like people such as Mother Teresa, they were venerated for the few good things they did while every other horrible detail about them was covered up.

Watch out everyone, we got Kendrick Lamar here!

I think this is important to keep in mind. These movies are based off of comic books, which are both inherently silly, some of them terrible, and they’re doing the best they can with what they’ve got. Not every single one of these movies is gonna be an Oscar winner. The point is that they are fun above all else. For the most part, they are able to hit that target pretty well.

When you start taking all of this extremely seriously, especially people who get really bent out of shape about continuity (which I care about, but there’s only so much that can be done on that front when dealing with these comic books over the better part of a century), you gotta ask yourself why you’re watching these in the first place? If one tiny little detail is gonna trip you up and make you hate the movie, then I suggest you just skip it all together.

Just because you don’t know how any of this works, don’t lash out at me in anger.

Yeah, because the first thing that a 13-year-old would listen to when taking his dad‘s antique car for a joyride is some classical music

That would be like your kids stealing your car today and blasting out Brahms.

So bad ass!
