    impossible to ignore

    “Challenge accepted”

    - Person who is disappointed again every 4 years to find out that Rage Against the Machine and Green Day aren’t right wing conservatives.

    The number of Star wars bumper stickers sharing real estate with the pro fascist party ones I see…say otherwise

      Probably just too ignorant to see it. Just like all those stupid cops wearing Punisher badges (which was hilariously depicted in the latest Daredevil season).

          Do you think they really aren’t aware of the hypocrisy? Hypocrisy is their super power. They can sit through sermons every Sunday for 50 years about loving your neighbors and taking care of the poor, and then gleefully cheer on a homeless camp being violently dismantled. They know they’re the empire, they just understand that the optics are better, and they get more emotional satisfaction by pretending they’re the rebellion.

            I don’t think most of them have the media literacy (or literacy in general) to make those connections. Every thought is bouncing around isolated in there.

              There certainly are conservatives that don’t have the cognitive capability to see deeper than what is explicitly stated, but I think they are outnumbered by the greedy power hungry ones, and the racist misogynist ones, and all that overlaps.

    I’ve been watching and thinking how it’d be a great show if it wasn’t a predictive documentary.
