Yup. But you deal with one problem at a time. Right now we have a real Joker problem with immediate and dire consequences.
Following your analogy to its logical conclusion, we're about to send Alfred out to take care of this Joker problem. It seems like we should find a Batman instead, or at least a Robin, before Alfred gets his ass handed to him.
Bro have you seen Alfred fight?
The problem would not be Alfred losing, it would be stopping him from plugging the Joker like an out of charge phone because he has made very clear that he does not share Batman's distaste for firearms.
This whole discussion is itself a metaphor, the people who are the most worried are the ones who understand the least about who they're talking about.
Yeah, Alfred was also originally a fat amateur sleuth who wanted to figure out Batman's secret identity, and was then retconned into Bruce/Batman's confidant. He wasn't even a father figure to Bruce until the '80s, and the, "Alfred is a secret badass," thing is something they've been picking up and dropping since the 90s. This comment is actually a great metaphor for all of the political discussions on Lemmy; a guy who thinks he's an expert even though his base of knowledge goes back less than 10 years.
"well akshualay that doesn't count because 80s or something"
Isn't that the exact same thing people say about why nothing Biden does that's even remotely progressive deserves credit?
LOL, first comment: "Well, akshualay, if you read the comics, you'd know that the Joker would get wrecked by Alfred."
Second comment: "This nerd is correcting me!"
Life comes at you fast, huh?
One problem at a time means dealing with what's in front of us with the tools we have at hand. Perfect is the enemy of good/better
Also Alfred is a fucking Chad
No, the problem in front of us is that the only person standing between us American fascism just went on TV and made himself look old and senile. Ignoring that problem and plowing through with compromised candidate isn't dealing with one problem at a time, it's ignoring a problem and hoping it goes away.
You think that the actual fascist isn't the bigger problem..odd.
Not what I said, but cool lie dude!
