CharlestheHammer posted:I thought Bernie was considered leftists or is his fundraising bad? He's trying to say that rich people don't have disproportionate power in our political system. It's very dumb.

The point is: "leftists say politicians don't go left because they're paid not to, but Bernie gets good fundraising", a point which is technically coherent but falls apart when you point out that Bernie is deliberately trying a new stratefy of fundraising

(I actually think there is a point to be made that many politicians are centrists for reasons other than raw campaign contributions but thats not his argument)

That Jacobin article isn't that bad. It's saying that Joker's like The King of Comedy, that shows violent and reactionary entitlement can be masked by an affable exterior and make their success feel like a triumph for the little guy. This sort of thing is exactly what Reagan did, and The King of Comedy wasn't exactly doing it on accident. Joker is set in 1981, when Reagan first takes office, so having this exact type of story doesn't exactly seem like an accident.

Speaking of which, everybody should watch The King of Comedy, it's one of Scorsese's and De Niro's best movies, and barely anybody ever talks about it.

Also the director of Joker has already explicitly said that they only tacked the Joker brand on he script because otherwise they wouldn't be able to sell it, so there is no reason to interpret the movie within any sort of Joker paradigm.

That’s what it was.”

Wax Dynasty posted:This kind of poo poo brings people to TERFdom. I dont know that things like this or the "cotton ceiling" drive people to terfdom so much as they give terfs cover. Non terfs just take a deep breath and remind themselves that feelings of entitlement are not the sole domain of the cislords. Regardless, telling people "your sexuality is immoral" is just as infurating and lovely coming from a transwoman as from a bible thumper, and is not likely to do anything other than make you enemies.

Yeah, I was kinda confused when I looked him up and all his movies were middling to bad comedies... So that kinda killed my hopes for this movie, even if he's not trying to make a superhero film.
