If you can show me in this comment section where I commented on my understanding, that would be appreciated.

Oh wait. That’s right, I didn’t.

Nice alt.

Anyway…

Yeah, lots of people in here saying “stop supporting corporations” as if it is not only easy, but simple to do.

Wanna cook whole foods? You growing your own or buying them from the Amish?

Wanna fix your own house (something I am currently doing), good luck finding a hardware/lumber supply that isn’t owned by one.

Want to use the internet?

It isn’t so simple. I think doing what you can with what you have is all anyone in the working class can really do. For some people it’s more, others less.

In the end, it seems like human history is a series of people with wealth and resources screwing over others, with brief bursts of progress.

Ugj.

I take stuff from work.

Suuuuuuuuure

No, he doesn’t. He doesn’t care about the damn status quo.

He wants to feel important and he wants an easy life. That’s it. He has no political or social motivations beyond

“I don’t wanna remember a thing, and I want to be someone important… like an actor.”

Cypher is the worst kind of asshole: One who doesn’t care about a damn thing besides his own personal gain.

Things weren’t just as polarized. You are intentionally leaving out a HUGE culture shift in the people between The Matrix and the Dixie Chicks being canceled. And if you didn’t understand that the world WAS different, even though there was just a few years apart, then you are DEFINITELY a child lying about their age.

No one who was alive for both those incidents think they occurred in the same vein of history.

Dixie chicks were post 9/11, if you’re going to leave out that VERY important detail when talking about the times, then you don’t understand how that day was basically the beginning of the shitstorm we have today.

Matrix was before all that. And yes… things can seriously change within just a couple years.

Sounds like every republican and Democrat.

There are no political statements in the matrix. It’s a movie about being trans.

When the movie was made, it was both people on the right and left who were shitty to the queer community. Trust me.

Things weren’t as polarized as they were today. I remember. I was 15 when I saw it in theaters.

But okay, I guess it’s a big movie bashing the right, instead of society as a whole.

Dude, that’s almost every heavy in a movie.

Is everyone you don’t like on tv a conservative? Are you 12?

There is no indicator that Cypher is a conservative.

I think you just lack the humility to admit fault

“Science is just stories told by people who read books to make people who don’t read books feel dumb”

Actually, he does, and you look really stupid right now for thinking otherwise.

Here’s a link I haven’t researched to prove it.

I mostly lurk, too, but enjoy being around my fellow Lemmings.

The only decline I have seen as someone who mostly lurks is in conservatives who thought this was the next Voat. After the surge I saw an uptick in all kinds of people, and a lot of them I don’t mind seeing leave.

You don’t need this lil slice of the internet to be the “next big thing”, you just need a place to go to see the stuff you like.

Yep! I’m not a big fan of any of the modern Superman films, I think there’s way too much punching and not enough super-human feats. And by that I mean rescuing people, or performing “miracles” that only he can in order to help the greater good.

Clark will let a monster punch him in the face dozens of times if he thinks he can save both the people and the creature’s life. That’s what creates dilemmas for me when I enjoy a decent Superman story, an ethical dilemma that can’t be solved by hitting something as hard as possible.

The cool thing about Superman isn’t that he has these fantastic powers, but that the person who wields them will always try to do the right thing, because they know nobody else can.

The original Superman movie nailed that aspect. Clark was confident and maybe even a little cocky because of his abilities… but when his father suffered a heart attack, all the super strength in the universe couldn’t save him.

You are 100% correct in that a lot of superhero discourse online seems to aaaaaaaalways come down to “who would win in a fight”, which has always baffled me, because comic books are LOADED with ethical and moral plays which are suppose to make us question whether violence is even a good answer for anything in the first place.

It’s about using your own strengths to help facilitate the weakness of those who can’t help themselves.

At least to me.

Superman is a morality play. His powers have been secondary since the 80s.

He’s Clark before he’s Superman. And Clark is one hell of a good dude who’s been fleshed out incredibly well.

Most people who don’t like Superman don’t know who Clark Kent is, and by that I mean they don’t really read much Superman comics.

Not saying this is you, just commenting on the general stigma Clark seems to catch. Dude isn’t even the most powerful being on Earth by a long shot.

What’s funny is, if Weird Al ever lost his shit, the person in who’s direction he did so probably said something like he “literally couldn’t get out of bed”.
