  • I think the right-wing made a mistake engaging in populism. They’ve politically activated millions of people and are starting to lose control of the narrative. I might be mistaken, but I’ve been getting the feeling that the MAGA folks are becoming increasingly receptive to left-wing populist arguments.

    Even Steve Bannon of all people responded to the H-1B visa drama with a left-wing populist argument, where he said foreign workers who came here on H-1B visas were treated like indentured servants.








  • Pantheon.

    Really thoughtful and smart sci-fi animation. Don’t want to spoil it so I’ll be vague, it has the most realistic depiction of modern tech and how people interact with it than any other show I’ve seen. Really great commentary on big tech corporations and even a bit of geopolitics. Super ambitious yet it somehow pulls it off.

    There is also a scene that still gives me nightmares (not even joking, I still dream about that shit) which is more than any horror movies or shows have done for me. Anyone who has watched it knows exactly what scene I’m talking about.







  • Does the rule only apply if they’re name-calling other commenters and not the subject of the article? If not then mke_geek’s original comment should be removed since he directly calls the subject of the article an awful person with no conditional.

    Personally I think this rule is being a bit over-enforced and none of these comments should have been removed. Being overly strict with civility rules allows bad actors to take advantage of “civility politics” to shut down dissent.

    Edit: except maybe the one calling them a dickhead, I get why that one was removed. The ones that just reflect their own words back at them I think should be left alone.
