Isn’t that just present day Republicans?
-Sees shitpost on lemmy
Americans - “Hmmmmm how can I make this about American politics?”
Well if you listen to tankies (which you shouldnt) America is why the whole world is like this. We control everything and also are a total failure. It’s weird to be two opposing things at once.
We control everything and also are a total failure
If only there was a word for people who use arguments like this, when their enemy is weak and strong at the same time
Many countries worldwide are experiencing the neoconservative bully ideology pushing back against progressive inclusivity, not just the USA.
I just want to say that in real life, obese kids are bullied by skinny kids. The “fat bully” stereotype is very harmful to society.
Edit: No, I know the obese kid being the bullied thing is not an absolute. One of my adoptive brothers was obese and took no shit from anyone. He was cool and kinda smart and also the class clown; and eventually he kinda thought he could get away with anything, bought into thug culture, and now he’s in and out of jail.
Well the audience has to know who the good guys are, and what better way than by making the good guys look aesthetically pleasing compared to the bads?
That said when I was a kid, the bigger kids tended to be the bullies, I always assumed it was because they could hit harder.
Those are Trump voters in their 50s. They’re everywhere. Don’t need a movie thanks.
When I was in school, kids called things gay as an insult. Nowadays kids call things gay as a compliment.
Imo, a movie that accurately depicts the social atmosphere of a modern high school would have bullies from the 90s crying in a corner. High school kids today are fucking brutal with their insults. Also school shootings would have them horrified, because they wouldn’t have seen coverage of Columbine
Didn’t they do it in response to being bullied?
Edit: Nope - they didn’t.
Shooting up a school is all kinds of fucked up, but I’m not sure I’d call it bullying.
