You know sometimes I have to admit I feel a bit frustrated about how jaded I am towards so much media now since becoming a leftist. There are days I do kinda wish I could just clap like a seal and enjoy the latest Marvel nonsense without a hint of cynicism.
Shit like this makes me realize how much fucking worse it is on the flip side…and that makes me so fucking happy.

conservatives (who are actually liberals)
Wow, they finally realized it.
It’s a classic No True Scotsman fallacy at work.
No, it’s a conservative wiping the scales from their eyes (albeit momentarily) and realizing liberals and conservatives are just two sides of the capitalism party, which is liberalism.
I don’t think they realized that at all, even momentarily. They’re just calling themself the one true conservative for not seeing the Barbie movie lol.
Guy posting on raebxeh.com: This place is full of libs, I’m the only real rightist on this site.
In that case I salute them! Truly they are atlas holding up the conservative movement by their sacrifice
I don’t know if they got that far but they might be in the process of realizing their friends are conservative libs and they’re more like a fascist. But they just see it as being “conservative”
No True Scotsman
TIL NOTESTOSELF. Thanks!
The prospects of a manifesto shooting occurring in the near future because they’re upset over a movie is likely and bleak
Leftists: Capitalism plunged my family into poverty and is a dark entity destroying the world for no real reason beyond the need to sustain itself
Chuds: Movie had woman
Chud: movie had woman and i complained about it online and all my peers called me a pathetic little man baby
Historical events are designed, by the woke left, to make Americans feel bad about their country.
Historical events
Nolan conveniently omitted a lot of the scientific contributions of the sad booba waifu that makes the Great Man feel like a god while fucking her, so there was some creative license taken that gaters should actually appreciate for being in their favor if they weren’t ignorant.
EDIT: And the movie also omits a lot of other women involved with the project, because Nolan.

how do you expect anyone to connect “booba waifu” to Katherine Oppenheimer
New tagline just dropped
By seeing the booba waifu in the movie, or the “having sexy sex gives me godlike hallucinations” Nolanesque embellishments.
Idk dude “booba waifu” is still a weird. You could have just said “his wife”.
“Idk dude,” the way women’s stories and contributions to the Manhattan Project were minimized in favor of Nolan’s lowkey misogynistic priorities was weird enough for me to describe it that way.
EDIT: This song and dance you’re doing right now is nothing new to me. It’s wandering further and further off topic and it can be summarized with “I don’t like your posts, especially when you criticize my treats.”
If that’s all you have left to say and you’re just going to keep doing that here, don’t bother.
#COMUNICADO OFICIAL:
I’m convinced it’s BMF’s alt personality that replies to posts instead of just making a post and logging off
We had basically won the culture war but dropped Oppenheimer and Barbie on them anyway
I say we take off and Barbie the entire site from orbit. it’s the only way to be sure.
Imagine if you will, a world where men cry in the corner for fear of the complete unraveling of civilization… All because two mid pop culture movies became popular…
You have entered the BudLite Zone.
“No Girls Allowed” sign-adorned couch cushion fort take
Reenacting the Alamo where the heroic all female joint Barbie-Mexican army takes back a pillow fort from slavers
Their only hope to reclaim their standing in the culture war is to buy millions of Sound of Freedom tickets
This is like the bizzaro hexbear treats struggle session
removed
now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time
edit: Guess they remove that portmanteau of feminist & nazi fair enough, still been a long damn time since I’ve seen someone use it. They really are stuck in the early GG years huh
Sounds like a perfectly healthy way to live
2016: lmao leftists are such joyless scolds, everything is “problematic” to them
2023: the Barbie movie is woke
30 years ago these “left hates fun” dorks would have been telling everyone that pokemon is teaching kids witchcraft
2016: "We are nonpolitical and we just want to play good games."
2023: “Conservatives are not fascist enough!”
Even his “conservative friends” are clearly put off by his culture war bullshit lol. They just want to be normal and watch normal movies.
In retrospect the line “conservatism is the new punk rock” was incredibly funny coming from the guys who got into conservative politics through children’s toys.
You know they’ve lost the culture war when stuff like this starts popping up
Nimona was pretty fun to watch tho.
Oppenheimer is anti-American and pro-communist
Wait fr? Should I go watch it?
It’s pretty neutral on communism, which is probably for the best given that it doesn’t understand it at all. Its one attempt to dip a pinky into theory has them quibbling over the translation into English of ‘property is theft’ from Kapital, which is extremely not where that line comes from and Marx disagreed with it.
Labour organizing and attending CPUSA meetings are shown as broadly good things, but ones which Oppie needs to set aside for the greater good (since they need him to have the best chance of beating the Nazis to the bomb, and the FBI won’t give him a security clearance to join Manhattan if he keeps that stuff up). The USSR is even more off-screen than Japan.
IDK American leftists squabbling about theory they clearly haven’t actually read sounds pretty on point to me.
Is anti-anti-communist, which is not exactly pro-communist
anything short of “the nuke was awesome and should have been used in every war since and against the USSR and China” is communist propaganda to these ppl
Not really. It was a lot more intelligent about nuclear politics than I expected from a hollywood movie, but it hews closely to Oppenheimer’s viewpoint, so first we’re shown all the forces that impelled them to build the bomb, then we’re hit with the sense of foreboding and regret after it’s been built. There’s an insightful line from the villain where he accuses Oppenheimer of wanting to have it both ways, wanting the accolades for winning the war and the moral absolution of opposing proliferation. I don’t think the median American moviegoer would absorb its thesis as an anti-nuclear one (and the Barbenheimer meme is probably a good indication of that). I’d still say go see it if the subject interests you.
