My producers dragged me to see 'Barbie' and it was one of the most woke movies have ever seen. My ful review of this flaming garbage heap of a film will be out on my YouTube channel tomorrow at 10am ET.

I normally post news on here but this picture is legit hilarious. Mods feel free to delete if not appropriate ๐Ÿ˜น

This is the epitome of "conservatives" today: unhappy, vengeful, trying to destroy things for other people, and only focused on nonsense culture-war stuff.

It makes me sad. If they just spent a fraction of the effort they use to tear things down to build something worthwhile up instead, we'd be much better off.

Don't be sad! There's people of all political groups and belief systems working hard right this moment to improve things, they are just quiet and don't draw attention to themselves... Join them and we can literally make the world a better place! ๐Ÿ˜

You're absolutely right. :)

The problem is that their idea of making things better usually involves ranting against and/or hurting people they don't like. I honestly can't think of a single thing their ideology would encourage building up that wouldn't be exclusionary or else harmful to multiple groups of people.

Which is really sad. What "conservatives" are representing isn't even conservative at all; it's just regressive, authoritarian non-sense. Conservatives (real ones) have an important part to play in a properly working political system (which we don't have in the United States). Ideally, we'd have a a progressive party and a conservative party; the former looking for reforms anywhere they can, even to the point of burning down the system, and the latter urging caution and ensuring the stability and safety of the system. Instead, the U.S. has a conservative party (Democrats) and a fascist/regressive party (Republicans). So, instead of moving forward with caution, we're moving backward.
