It is not our fight

I have been rewatching some franchise media that got bad receptions (new star trek movies, matrix reloaded, The Phantom Menace) and I have been feeling a lot more charitable to these works than I was the first time.

In this spirit I watched The Hobbit again and it is truly awful.

I find some old friends hard to hang with. They aren't wrong, they don't need to improve, they don't need to be called out or change anything, we just no longer vibe. I think it would be weird that I try to force them to turn back the clock on the person they are becoming just so that we can be compatible again.

I'm fucking sick of talking about race as if it means anything at all compared to class. We need a two step program

  1. Tax the fucking billionaires out of existence
  2. Stop destroying the biosphere

Want to make that program palatable? We use the billionaire taxes to make life suck less for everyone in a clear, food-on-the-God-damn-table-and-children- in-decent-schools Kind of way.

Racism is real and deadly, but what are we gonna do? Bully the racists into being less racist? Send them off to camps for re-education? Let's just focus on giving everyone enough money that they don't have to rely on some racist boss to give them a job, or a racist landlord to give them (allow then to pay for) a home.
