maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me

It may have bad actual consequences, but it's stupid to try to shame people for wanting a visceral comeuppance for the people killing them.

I'm not sure "Suicide Squad, The Snowman and Book of Henry were bad" qualifies as contrarian

Dan's most contrarian film take I've seen is that Justice League wasn't as bad as it could have been.

On one hand Dan's tweet is very lame because people have good reasons to be angry and violent towards our current power structures. On the other hand, performative antifa supersoldiers are boring as hell and my response to bloodthirsty "we should kill those motherfuckers" people tends to be...y'know, no one is stopping you. I think it's just unproductive as hell anyway, it's people jerking off over revenge fantasies instead of organizing anything because they know they won't ever have to put their rear end on the line.

Violence is a tool, not the endgame.

No? He stated that was the biggest draw to "western bigots" not to everyone who like vtubers. It's right in the first tweet.

The subject of the sentence is "western bigots" not "people who like vtubers"

I'm just trying to go through life without looking stupid.

It's not working out too well...

No, I'm not. I'm just disgusted with everything. poo poo takes like this have been pissing me off for a long time, and I've bottled it up, but that tweet just popped the cork. I saw it earlier, but I've been trying to avoid the new thread.

I want you to understand something: over the last few years, people have harped on phrases like, "eat the rich", "punch nazis", "centrism is akin to being right-wing aka fishhook theory", "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism", and so on.

Something I said in the previous thread, and that you lectured me on:

Max Wilco posted:

Dunno if it's appropriate to point it out, but I've seen people have been laying the blame of rioting, looting, and 'revolutionary' attitude on Antifa.

Terrible Opinions posted:

Also quite honestly if you care about the rioting, gently caress off. Just gently caress off. No one should care at all. Like Jesus Christ if you care about the rioting I'm sure you'd have been upset about the Warsaw Jews using guns against the Nazis, you miserable shitstain.

So it's like, fine, if violent revolution is what it takes, than that's what it loving takes. But oh no, here comes Dan, whining, "people who want violent revolution are garbage:qq:", and all I can think is, "Motherfucker, do want change, or do you just want to piss and moan and berate people because they aren't doing praxis to your liking? Take your loving dogshit liberal attitude of 'peaceful protest' and choke on it."

Like I'm just gonna come out and say this: I didn't vote for Biden; I voted for the green party candidates. You can blame me for throwing my vote away and enabling Trump to win again, but I don't give a poo poo. Had Sanders been the Democratic nominee, then I'd have voted for him, but instead they picked Biden. The people going #VoteBlueNoMatterWho can gently caress off. The people going, "Well, I don't like Biden, but he's better than Trump" can also gently caress off. Biden's not going to do poo poo. We're just gonna languish for another four years, and then Trump 2 gets elected. Either piss or get off the pot; don't do this in-between bullshit.

But I'm sure someone's going to say, "Max, you're a stupid idiot, and you clearly don't understand the complexity of this, you're misrepresenting and misunderstand Dan, and yadda yadda blah blah blah..." Well I don't know what to tell you, other than that I'm an idiot who can't figure this poo poo out, and I'm beyond help.

Do not even ask posted:

Well if and when violent revolution gets underway, you're more than welcome to shove a pistol against my head and paint the walls in grey matter. No one would blame you, and at this point, I really don't give a poo poo, and you'd be doing me a favor.

It's also worded straight out of the conservative deniable plausibility handbook. If you don't believe me try the phrases "Muslim terrorists" or "Mexican criminals" instead, they're technically specific but you know what's being said when the usual suspects say it. It's not just bigots who would react negatively, it's literally anyone who feels defensive about the topic which considering it's anime-adjacent is a lot of people. It's certainly not intentional but it is poorly worded which has been pointed out is a theme with left twitter.

There once was a man named Gold Roger, who was King of the Pirates

He had fame, power, and wealth beyond your wildest dreams!

Before they hung him from the gallows, these were the final words he said:

"My fortune is yours for the taking, but you'll have to find it first
I left everything I own in One Piece..."

Ever since, pirates from all over the world set sail for the Grand Line, searching for One Piece;

The treasure that would make their dreams come true!

YO!
Ya-yo, ya-yo!

Dreamin'! Don't give it up, Luffy!
Dreamin'! Don't give it up, Zolo!
Dreamin'! Don't give it up, Nami!
Dreamin'!
Don't give it, give it up, give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it UP!

Here's how the story goes, we find out
'bout a treasure in the Grand Line, there's no doubt
The pirate whose eye is on it, he'll sing
I'll be King of the Pirates, I'm gonna be King!

Ya-yo, ya-yo, ya-yo... oh-ho!

His name is Luffy!
That's Monkey D. Luffy!
Gonna be king of the pirates!
He's made of rubber!
How did that happen?
Yo-ho-ho, he took a bite of Gum Gum!

Ya-yo, ya-yo!


His name's Zolo, he's just like a samurai
And a L-A-D-Y, Nami's not shy
Usopp's doin' that marksman thing
Sanji's cookin', Chopper's doctoring!

Ya-yo, ya-yo, ya-yo, oh-ho!


Set sail for One Piece!
It's the name of the treasure
In the Grand Line!
Ya-yo, ya-yo...

Set sail for ONE PIECE!
