  • I watched Superman: Red Son last night. Throughout the entire movie I was wondering what the plot resolution would be.

    In it, Stalin is enriching himself while killing millions (just like real life). Superman finds it appalling that Stalin’s only response is “it’s necessary.” In the US, Lex Luthor is doing typical capitalist bullshit just getting rich and getting power.

    But LEX LUTHOR ends up doing it all for altruistic reasons because even Superman can’t create a perfect society without harming dissenters. At the end, instead of continuing the altruistic steps, he steps down from power for his VP to do it and fucks off to a private island with billionaire stuff.

    What I got out of it? Capitalism good, it saves you from gulag and brain control devices. And billionaires will save you.

    War is GREAT for business.








  • Man these guys keeping their shit together while ICE cower behind masks, guns and armor is down right impressive.

    They want violence so fucking bad. Blocking their vehicles, overwhelming their arrests, preventing their ability to shelter comfortably? They will either snap and massacre or gradually just get unmotivated to keep trying it.

    I couldn’t do this. In the one video, when I heard one of the agents arm their weapon my own fight or flight activated, and that adrenaline pumped hard. Logically, it sort of makes sense. If they’re going to start shooting, I’m not going to make it to a safe spot. If I can’t run then it’s fight.
