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.

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”

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.

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.

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.
