My prediction is that "Rebel Moon" will have enough Snyder treat hogs needing to make excuses for it that there will be future "this is leftist, actually, because the Big Bad if you squint at it can actually look like nazis I guess" or even "the Synderesque Cornfield of Burgerland Sentimentality can look kind of like a commune if you squint and hold your breath long enough" or maybe just boil down to "let people enjoy things" thought terminating cliches, all the while the movie will push cartoonishly blatant up-yours-woke-moralists propaganda against straw communists. No one is immune to propaganda, least of all the "propaganda has no effect on me" believers, so I predict that'll be a struggle session.

I expect I will be told to touch grass a lot by that treat's future defenders if it has even a moderate amount of profitability, which would consequently make local hogs want to make excuses for it instead of admitting it's hog-feeding chud propaganda and just eating it anyway with acceptance, which I would respect somewhat more. feast

    I support your protracted people's war against the treats. But in all due respect, and don't take this personally, I think it comes across a little Quixotic sometimes because you make references to previous arguments where the person you're talking about is nowhere to be found in the thread, so it just looks like fighting windmills from an outsider perspective.

      I haven't done that in a while, actually. Even if I feel it did apply and was relevant I got too much shit for it.

      I suppose there will be a few more months of people like you tilting at the windmills about me tilting at the windmills, no matter what I do.

          They eventually absorbed one another's roles through sheer exposure, too. yea
