Nobody actually hates it, it’s just a joke that’s been dead for 3 decades and beaten into the ground

Why should they retire? They don't actually do anything. They figure they might as well be there to soak up the corrupt funds instead of some other placeholder.

I actually like the gerontocracy. I think it rules. Let's see how far we can push it, let's get a 125 year old president

I don't think assholishness is necessarily a bad thing, it's value-neutral. I would simply not be bigoted in my critiques, and bigotry is a separate issue entirely that can be addressed directly, and has nothing to do with the "let people enjoy things" poptimism ethos that pervades much of the internet which I think is disgusting. I dont believe anybody has a "right" to not hear criticisms of their favorite things, and mostly people have an issue with it because they've made consumption their identity and feel personally attacked by critiques on what they consume. They need to separate their identity from the commodity, not get mad at the messenger.

I literally don't care about being an asshole, that's fine. I can criticize whatever I want

Where did the funding for those movies come from? Where did that fancy military equipment come from? I wonder if the US military asked for anything in exchange for lending that out?

Fascism has only ever been defeated through violence, not through "changing people's minds"
