  Well, in your delusion you were kind enough to give Dr. Manhattan some undies, so there’s that.

  I know. That’s what I’m doing, critically examining these claims people keep making. I really don’t have a stake in the game either way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flashback - Mark Zuckerberg on billionaires: 'No one deserves to have that much money'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And here’s the problem I have with that: not all labor is exploitative. No matter what economy we have, there would still be laborers printing the book, binding it, cutting down the trees and making the paper, etc.

  That doesn’t change simply because we switch from capitalism to some other system.

  The only fair way for that book to be made from the implications given is if all of the labor is automated, but at the end of the day a human being would have to do some work somewhere no matter how many levels of automation redundancy you have, so how is he not implying being expected to do anything is the problem, and using the blatant shitty behavior of the rich as a smokescreen for that?

  We could live in a Jetsonian paradise where all he’d have to do is push a few buttons once a day and he’d still complain.

  🤔 I don’t necessarily believe that. An independent creator of a blockbuster franchise could in principle become a billionaire ethically. Like J.K. Rowling; she’s estimated to have upwards of a $1.2 billion net worth.

  Yep. As immature as expected.

  One you don’t like and in turn, you can have yourself a nice hot cup of “too bad”. We’re sick of immature idiots like you defending an exploitative industry that has monopolized an entire art form, enabled the rape of countless innocent actors and actresses because of that monopoly, and does nothing but churn out prefabricated, hollow, meaningless, propaganda-filled garbage. We don’t want your fucking crap anymore. Shove it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Martin Scorsese urges filmmakers to fight comic book movie culture: ‘We’ve got to save cinema’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Or you could just learn to listen

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Martin Scorsese urges filmmakers to fight comic book movie culture: ‘We’ve got to save cinema’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What we really need is a nonprofit organization that rents out equipment and set space to directors so they don’t have to turn to big movie studios to get their projects made.

  And we need federated online independent movie portals so people know where to find them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Martin Scorsese urges filmmakers to fight comic book movie culture: ‘We’ve got to save cinema’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol people like you think this way and then you wonder why we elect fascists like Donald Trump. 😆

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Martin Scorsese urges filmmakers to fight comic book movie culture: ‘We’ve got to save cinema’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That just sounds like immature drivel from someone angry they’re being called out for not thinking about anything.

  The existence of low-quality garbage does not justify its existence and the fact is that post-endgame Marvel movies SUCK. And they suck because they do not follow basic rules of plot, building up suspense, meaningful stakes and other important shit the rabble either forgot about or never knew.

  And the fact remains that Americans are suffering because they’re not being exposed to high-level ideas in movies, one of the kinds of entertainment they consume the most, and being actively discouraged from thinking by and large through arguments of your own intended to justify their ignorance to avoid emotional hurt. It’s hurting us as a people. Art isn’t there solely to entertain, it’s there to teach you things and make you think, and one of the things Americans badly nedd to learn is that life isn’t all about being entertained and having fun. You have to be willing to put on your big boy pants and actually think.

  The fact that there is even a dichotomy between enjoyable movies and movies that make audiences think is what should be upsetting people right now, not Martin Scorsese pointing out truths that make you feel bad.

  Grow up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russell Brand: Comedian accused of rape and sexual assault of four women⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It is when it’s pretty blatantly just an excuse to defend a rapist.

  If you’re gonna motte-and-bailey a rapist out of consequences you could at least be more subtle about it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russell Brand: Comedian accused of rape and sexual assault of four women⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  By shutting up

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russell Brand: Comedian accused of rape and sexual assault of four women⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, you’re the moron who is thinking you can apologize for some dipshit rapist and that the rest of us won’t just dismiss you and what you have to say on its face.

  It’s been known since 2006 when Dannii Minogue spilled the beans on him in an interview.

  Now stop defending rapists, you clown.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russell Brand: Comedian accused of rape and sexual assault of four women⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s so ubiquitous among the right wing here that I thought he was being charged in the U.S.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russell Brand: Comedian accused of rape and sexual assault of four women⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you sure about that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russell Brand: Comedian accused of rape and sexual assault of four women⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Who do you think comprises the judge, jury and executioner?

  Juries are random people chosen off the street.

  Judges are elected most of the time.

  Executioners in states that still have the death penalty are just workers.

  Everyone in government is a member of the public because that’s what a government is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russell Brand: Comedian accused of rape and sexual assault of four women⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Common sense

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russell Brand: Comedian accused of rape and sexual assault of four women⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And then it says “No one cares about downvotes” or “downvotes don’t matter” when you argue they actually do matter or that they need to be changed in some way.

  Stop trying to push off your responsibilities onto others and do your damn job. You see rape apologia, you delete rape apologia. That’s your job as a mod. If you can’t be assed, find someone else to be a mod.

  But don’t come to me with a bunch of excuses to not do what you’re supposed to be doing. Grow the fuck up and do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russell Brand: Comedian accused of rape and sexual assault of four women⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, the mods here really need to start doing something about the rampant rape apologia on the sub. Why even have mods if they won’t ban shit like this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russell Brand: Comedian accused of rape and sexual assault of four women⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You wouldn’t believe it even if it did.

  As much as I bitch about Lemmy, I am glad to be on a platform where we can openly advocate to put the aristocracy in guillotines without getting banned or otherwise punished for it.

  We never should have accepted such a monstrous Faustian deal in the first place.

  You know, at some point Microsoft and Apple are going to enable developers to charge people to uninstall their software, and that’ll be the driving force that finally forces the public o adopt Linux en masse.

  You’re the ones that are gonna wind up suffering because your instance admin is a dumbass, not me. I am perfectly happy and content laughing at you all while you refuse to listen and suffer for it. It’s like I told you before – I can only lead a horse to water, I can’t make you drink it. Now you refused to drink, and as you wobble in the desert heat dying of thirst I point you to the oasis once again and you again refuse to drink. Because I make you feel embarrassed and angry, and you’d rather die of thirst just to spite me.

  I’d call that pretty pathetic if it wasn’t so funny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Read my ID tag for five seconds and then contemplate on how stupid you are for trying to threaten someone over the internet. I already left lemm.ee, and .world because those instances chose not to listen when I warned them there were serious problems with the platform. They chose not to listen, and they’re just reaping what they’ve sown. I’m just here to gloat. 😎

  You can let your angries out if you want though. It won’t do anything. Certainly won’t save the platform from their indolence and refusal to listen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And it only took something as serious as CP spamming to make you all do what you should have done months ago. Amazing. 🤦

  Maybe it’ll take a genocide for you to ban the nazis and tankies too.
