conservatives (who are actually liberals)
Wow, they finally realized it.
It’s a classic No True Scotsman fallacy at work.
No, it’s a conservative wiping the scales from their eyes (albeit momentarily) and realizing liberals and conservatives are just two sides of the capitalism party, which is liberalism.
I don’t think they realized that at all, even momentarily. They’re just calling themself the one true conservative for not seeing the Barbie movie lol.
Guy posting on raebxeh.com: This place is full of libs, I’m the only real rightist on this site.
In that case I salute them! Truly they are atlas holding up the conservative movement by their sacrifice
I don’t know if they got that far but they might be in the process of realizing their friends are conservative libs and they’re more like a fascist. But they just see it as being “conservative”
No True Scotsman
TIL NOTESTOSELF. Thanks!
We had basically won the culture war but dropped Oppenheimer and Barbie on them anyway
I say we take off and Barbie the entire site from orbit. it’s the only way to be sure.

Imagine if you will, a world where men cry in the corner for fear of the complete unraveling of civilization… All because two mid pop culture movies became popular…
You have entered the BudLite Zone.
Historical events are designed, by the woke left, to make Americans feel bad about their country.
Historical events
Nolan conveniently omitted a lot of the scientific contributions of the sad booba waifu that makes the Great Man feel like a god while fucking her, so there was some creative license taken that
gaters should actually appreciate for being in their favor if they weren’t ignorant.
EDIT: And the movie also omits a lot of other women involved with the project, because Nolan.

how do you expect anyone to connect “booba waifu” to Katherine Oppenheimer
New tagline just dropped
By seeing the booba waifu in the movie, or the “having sexy sex gives me godlike hallucinations” Nolanesque embellishments.

“Idk dude,” the way women’s stories and contributions to the Manhattan Project were minimized in favor of Nolan’s lowkey misogynistic priorities was weird enough for me to describe it that way.
EDIT: This song and dance you’re doing right now is nothing new to me. It’s wandering further and further off topic and it can be summarized with “I don’t like your posts, especially when you criticize my treats.”
If that’s all you have left to say and you’re just going to keep doing that here, don’t bother.

You know sometimes I have to admit I feel a bit frustrated about how jaded I am towards so much media now since becoming a leftist. There are days I do kinda wish I could just clap like a seal and enjoy the latest Marvel nonsense without a hint of cynicism.
Shit like this makes me realize how much fucking worse it is on the flip side…and that makes me so fucking happy.

Their only hope to reclaim their standing in the culture war is to buy millions of Sound of Freedom tickets
It feels like that sub is somehow degrading. Like it was always evil and always stupid but there’s still somehow a sense to me that it’s devolved.
Gamergate was a lot of people’s first experience with the far-right infiltrating a vulnerable group then engineering and escalating a culture war.
There was a lot of naivety back then. The alt-right pinkie promising they weren’t neo-nazis was enough for thousands to give them the benefit of the doubt. People got swept up in it, believing it really was about “ethics in game journalism” and not just trying to bully feminists and anyone who defended them into suicide.
But that was hundreds of acts of domestic terrorism and melodramatic reactionary outcries ago. Most people shook off the mob mentality and saw it for what it was.
You’re seeing the ones who decided to stick with being scumbags.
For most of them, it’s probably because they’re abusers without anyone in their life to abuse, trying to scratch that itch by hurling slurs at minorities.
Of what’s left, they might be so dimwitted and gullible that they still haven’t realised they’ve just been doing the dirty laundry of some of the worst people the modern world can offer.
It would be genuinely pitiful if it wasn’t near-certain that one of them will do a mass shooting because someone made a movie that was more appealing to women than the idea of becoming a tradwife-pornstar-mommy-punching bag for a chud.

There’s demographic overlap with the MAGA/Q chud crowd, so there’s already been mass shootings tied to it.
Sounds like a perfectly healthy way to live
2016: lmao leftists are such joyless scolds, everything is “problematic” to them
2023: the Barbie movie is woke
30 years ago these “left hates fun” dorks would have been telling everyone that pokemon is teaching kids witchcraft
2016: "We are nonpolitical and we just want to play good games."
2023: “Conservatives are not fascist enough!”
Even his “conservative friends” are clearly put off by his culture war bullshit lol. They just want to be normal and watch normal movies.
In retrospect the line “conservatism is the new punk rock” was incredibly funny coming from the guys who got into conservative politics through children’s toys.

What are they even talking about? They have done NOTHING BUT win culture wars ever since 2012. If you’re all doom and gloom over Barbie, I hope someone forces you to watch Idiocracy where morons like you are even more viciously pointed out.
Idiocracy is a fascist movie about how stupid poor people are having too many babies.

They have to always feel persecuted while also believing their enemies are pathetic and easily crushed.
Okay how the hell did you post a picture? I haven’t figured that one out yet
Press the smiley face button and look at the full list, including Hexbear custom stuff.
Or, to get your own image, press the button just to the right of the smiley face if you have one on your drive.
Press the smiley face button and look at the full list
holy shit, this whole time I was just typing a colon and then trying to remember the names of each individual one. Is this a new feature from the update or have I been doing this wrong for the last three years?

The latter.
I’ve known all along and refuse to do it. No I will not touch the smiley face and you can’t make me
it’s always been there, but now the list also allows you to search by tags/keywords not just the designated name of the emote which is neat. This does require the admins to actually tag the emotes tho, which I think is only partially done judging by my difficulty finding some lately
I was legitimately making this mistake and using the old emoji reference website to look the names up for two years
i can feel the pain of this post
I’ve been able to just paste an image into the reply box as well.
I was giving the crudest introductory version just in case.
Hexbear has an emote feature, you can add images on any instance with ctrl+v in chat though. Not sure if you’re on mobile.
Hexbear developed an emote feature on their Lemmy fork years ago, and then converged back to Lemmy’s mainline code in order to federate, so they have a selection menu that adds a little image. Anyone can add images with the picture feature (there’s a button, or you can copy-paste and image), Hexbear just made a convenient list of hundreds of small images.
You can also click the View Source button on a comment in the [more] options, if someone does something funky and you want to learn how they formatted it. Like

I think a lot of chuds thought thngs would change when Trump got in.
Culture war victories are always temporary - there’s nothing to build off of, cus there hasn’t actually been any accomplishments. You do a great big whinge, feel a fleeting moment of catharsis. Then, what the hell, see a movie. Yesterday was yesterday, today the kids want to see Barbie.
Also, Don’t Look Up
Idk man that movie felt like some lib shit. Sure, it’s making fun of chuds, but there was so much winking to its lib audience (‘you’d be one of the few looking up, right? Right? At least YOU are one of the smart ones’ ) without ever exploring what lead to people not looking up, no systemic critique or analysis. A typical lib circlejerk about how they’re better than anyone else.
Idiocracy does the same. Although it sure is funny at times, it’s premise comes pretty close to eugenics if you ask me.
it’s premise comes pretty close to eugenics if you ask me.
Its premise IS eugenics. Not enough of the right people are breeding is pretty damn explicit.
it’s premise comes pretty close to eugenics if you ask me
its premise is literally eugenics
I’d argue that the systemic critiques of Don’t Look Up include folks simply listening to who they want to without regard to facts, the snowball effect that social media has when it comes to misinformation, and the gap of perception and reality are exploited for someone’s gain (even if it’s a detriment to everyone).
The premise of idiocracy is literally “what if everyone in there future were idiots and there’s one average person from the past added to the mix?” and how they got there is the opposite of eugenics.

I almost feel bad shitting on this person because you can tell they have a completely miserable life. But also link the post so I can go bully people in the comments.

god damn that userbase is ripe for some trolling lmao
Yeah I immediately knew this was a bait post.
On some level I can sympathize. I’m also pretty miserable and have a really hard time coping with how awful our culture is, and regularly get bent out of shape knowing that just about everyone around me has a completely fucked up value system.
But like, I’m mad about the right things and this guy’s mad that everyone isn’t an insane christo-fascist or whatever, so he can eat a turd.
