  • Okay I see. I think I misread that part about censorship in your first comment. An interesting discussion for sure, because on one hand, art lets us explore things “safely” that we can’t do in real life, but on the other hand, being fictional doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a real effect on people.

    My second point was very important to what your initial comment said about progress in society, and you didn’t respond to that at all so I’m not sure if you’ve read it?


  • Neither are those mostly conservative white men running our respective governments, looking to leverage what you propose to their own benefit i.e. censoring their critics on the left, labeling them domestic terrorists, rather than the fascist groups we were discussing.

    Also you’ll note I said public pressure - commercial brands can be a lot more responsive to bad press than political parties.





    1. Whaddaya mean by “fictional” in this context?

    2. Your comment basically says that society progresses at its own steady pace, and people demanding more rights and societal progress are impatient and wasting their time. This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how society evolves. It’s not an automatism, it is the direct result of people raising their voices and demanding rights. There is no progress without these efforts. So yes, their demands are currently unachievable - by definition. It’s not a bug, it’s not a mistake, it’s a necessity.
