My prediction is that “Rebel Moon” will have enough Snyder treat hogs needing to make excuses for it that there will be future “this is leftist, actually, because the Big Bad if you squint at it can actually look like nazis I guess” or even “the Synderesque Cornfield of Burgerland Sentimentality can look kind of like a commune if you squint and hold your breath long enough” or maybe just boil down to “let people enjoy things” thought terminating cliches, all the while the movie will push cartoonishly blatant propaganda against straw communists. No one is immune to propaganda, least of all the “propaganda has no effect on me” believers, so I predict that’ll be a struggle session.

I expect I will be told to touch grass a lot by that treat’s future defenders if it has even a moderate amount of profitability, which would consequently make local hogs want to make excuses for it instead of admitting it’s hog-feeding chud propaganda and just eating it anyway with acceptance, which I would respect somewhat more.

I’m truly impressed at how incomprehensible this post is to me. “Treat”, “struggle”, “hog” and “chud” all presumably mean something particular to you.

No insult intended - in-group slang is fun sometimes. It’s just kinda cool to be presented with it - reminds me of the Weird Old Internet.

Wanna know the fun part? Even we’re a little lost in this guy’s posts sometimes. Not as much as a BMF post (or whatever alt account they’re on now), but still.

Have I said anything that incomprehensible to you since this particular thread lately?

Just wondering if I can do a and turn a dial while watching the audience for approval.

Your posting is pretty great most of the time. You’re a certified crank, every community needs one. That being said, calling one of the characters from Oppenheimer a “booba waifu” was the most post you’ve ever made.

Having had no idea wtf rebel moon is, this post did come off very or maybe BMF-lite. But after you explained that detail it fell into place.

Normally it’s not that there’s any trouble understanding you, just that your posts come off far more intensely than I have ever felt about the topics in question. Which is a good thing, mind, they’re always fun

I support your protracted people’s war against the treats. But in all due respect, and don’t take this personally, I think it comes across a little Quixotic sometimes because you make references to previous arguments where the person you’re talking about is nowhere to be found in the thread, so it just looks like fighting windmills from an outsider perspective.

treats = food/entertainment, derogatory

struggle = big argument on the site, generally called “struggle session”

hogs = the unwashed braying (usually) CHUD masses

CHUD = Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller, fascists/other right wingers

Wait I thought we were hogs

I think hog just means anyone who consumes slop, which is to say, a consumer.

I’m using the slang loosely here, which is probably a mistake, especially when federated strangers see it and comment on it as they have.

My bad; I was using a lot of Hexbear insider slang.

Very brief translation: “Self-described leftists will want to make excuses for the blatant propaganda in an upcoming Snyder movie, because accepting a movie had bad messaging in it and still consuming it with acceptance is too hard for some people.”

Not until this evening in the US

Former president Donald Trump is expected to leave his club in New Jersey later this afternoon with a coterie of aides, according to people familiar with the trip, and will turn himself in this evening.

Edit: Some people are saying 7 PM ET

Some might not believe it but I outright missed some pretty massive struggle sessions here because I was offline at the time, like the bidet one.

I think Tiktok/Twitter kids learned about how “developed” countries have access to tropical fruits because of exploitation so they had disk horse about whether ending imperialistic exploitation was worth not having bananas all year around.

I think that was a weird Left Twitter thing that never made its way here. I also have no idea what it was about. I think there was a boat involved?
