mods you can’t remove every random rightoid that wanders in here - where are we going to get food to play with
I lean right. I have no clue how Barbie was woke.
It’s a depiction of reverse-patriarchy as critique of patriarchy in our existing society. The Barbies hold the social status of men in our existing society, while the Kens occupy the social status of women.
I mean yes, Ken has always been an accessory to Barbie. But failing to understand how this was platformed in the movie as a centrepoint of the feminist critique it makes is just willful stupidity on your or anyone else’s part. It’s a dumbass “the curtains are blue” kind of take intended to terminate all deeper thought that might result in anybody learning anything or demonstrating growth as a person.
(For real, it’s because right/left is not the issue. Extremes are)
You say on the socialist instance like a dumbass lmao.
I’ll give you that.
After reading it over and over, I really should have worded it differently. I just wanted to address the idea of equating leaning right and some extreme moron on the right. Just for that person I was replying to though.
Even the wealthiest countries in the world have human beings sleeping in the streets, despite also having more than enough resources to guarantee housing for every single person. As far as the law is concerned, the only thing that matters is that these desperate people must not be allowed to break into empty abandoned houses for shelter, as this violates the infinitely more important private property rights of the homeowner to own an empty abandoned house.
“Centrism” is pretty extreme, it just doesn’t feel that way because the horrors are so normalized
I agree extremes are bad. I lean right on some issues. I lean left on others. I’m just not into extreme views in general.
define “extremes”
edit: awwww this one too I wanted to bat them around for a while
