anti-fascist LARPers are always pretty funny though, especially ones who have a fucking MPA and work as corporate consultants (as Gwen Snyder does)

Christ! Thats not how this works! Thats not how any if that works! You can't declare that a group, that you claim to belong to, is out of energy! Thats like President Hayes saying, "I, a Republican no longer feel like fighting for reconstruction because we are all tired of constantly fighting for the Negro in the South"! They are literally trying to write history. And they are doing it from Twitter!

I suspect that sort of thing used to be very common. Practically any sitcom made between 1920 and 1970 was virtually guaranteed to have adult males be members of some sort of lodge or club.

It would be interesting to see if that's reflected in reality; if there's any actual history of social clubs and proof they have declined in membership.

If my professor is to be believed. Yes. And its not like I am inclined to think he is wrong. Every town I lived in has former lodges or Shriners, Masonic Temples, etc etc. The relics are there. Even in my backwater ass state. That I don't think it was just a Hollywood elite stereotype that they forgot wasn't universal.

And to really drive home my professors claim. The clubs that still remain, are very very much skewed to the old. Such as my Dad would be on the youngest end of the spectrum of current members of say the Masons or the Shriners or the Salvation Army even.

Finally, I've been waiting to mention my anti-racism programme. Anyway, I support turning America into a Catholic theocracy. In order to combat racism, you know. What, you don't want that? Are you a racist or something?

We already have a theocratic state. It just worships troons.

 

[The Ugly One]

The mutants as minorities analogy is fucking dumb. Gay people don't constantly shoot deadly lasers from their eyes, black people don't get turned into energy stealing vampires, and Mexicans don't have a fucking death radius that never turns off. At least I'm pretty sure.

But we all know Bob saw the mutant supremacist Magneto, and thought, this guy who wants to fucking slaughter mankind (or just hang out with the xmen depending on the author) is totally in the right. Because in his warped mind, being bullied was just a sign to Bob that he was inherently superior to his fellow man.

X-men was overtly conceived as a metaphor for civil rights. Doesn't make it a good metaphor; just saying that was the intent.

I'm sure it's been said before, but Bob's the kind of aggressively woke you only see among life's failures. Online crusading helps him feel like his life isn't a giant, fat, sexless, unemployed shambles.

Oh for pete's sake. NO, Bob and person who Bob retweeted, that stupid wordy-balloony X-men panel is NOT what CGers are talking about when they talk about "political" in Comics. That's a perfectly fine, perfectly normal set of panels (if god-awfully wordy but still). It doesn't do any of the things that make "political" annoying (other than making word balloons too long and too full of words). At least it isn't two people standing in a hallway/sitting around in a cafe talking about FEEEEEEELINGS.

I heard a story that bus drivers aren't supposed to get involved if someone doesn't pay the fare for safety and liability reasons. If you're the rider, you successfully ride the bus for free. But do you really want to be that guy?

Bob = that guy.

Bob's that guy finishes the coffee and doesn't make a new pot.

As mentioned, there's been a trend away from social clubs for decades now. For my own anecdotal evidence, my town's Kiwanis Club meets in my church, and according to our organist (who's one of the officers, I think president?), it's pretty much only officers that show up to the meetings, so it's just the same three people every time. They still do some community events, but not all that much, and I wouldn't be surprised if the club dissolved eventually.

There's a major breakdown in community across much of the country, with the death of these clubs being one symptom of the problem. But it's a much bigger topic than I'm qualified to discuss.

At least it isn't two people standing in a hallway/sitting around in a cafe talking about FEEEEEEELINGS.

The other important thing to note: no matter how "political" old-school comics got, they remembered that their primary goal first and foremost was to entertain. A character getting on a soapbox to wax political can still be entertaining if handled appropriately. The problem with modern comic writers (and modern writers in general) is that they're more concerned about The Message™ than telling a good story, so they'll spend pages of dialogue or hours of screentime lecturing the audience about how they're supposed to feel. They're today's moral busybodies, and they're just as insufferable.

There's a very interesting reason for that, it's the X-Men weren't an analogy.

It's just a VERY common meme that floats around due to people not actually reading older stuff and people think it sounds more intellectual. Stan Lee's X-Men was closer to a Junior Fantastic Four with mutants being associated with the rise of nuclear power and Magneto (not a holocaust survivor yet) being a budget Dr. Doom. That's why you've heard them called the "Children of the Atom" which doesn't make sense otherwise. It's not until the Claremont run that it came in with "God Loves, Man Kills" and even then it wasn't based on the Civil Rights movement unless you believe Malcom X was crazy black man that wanted to murder everybody. Magneto's characterization was actually inspired by this guy and Zionism, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menachem_Begin and even then Claremont didn't overly focus on it.

It's later that you got people trying to make them analogies for youth culture, LGBT, illegal immigrants, whatever pet issue of the day which has caused a pile-up of conflicting messages which the X-Men haven't recovered from since the mid 2000s.

X-men was overtly conceived as a metaphor for civil rights. Doesn't make it a good metaphor; just saying that was the intent.

Hm, wonder how long we'll see before Bobo spergs about Poland and how US/Germany need to invade it. Because apparently on the border they fired tear gas and stun grenades at illegals that tried to rush the border.

Answer the Post-Hoc Subtitle got humor right but didn't get "spectacle" right? Did he see a movie where the third act wasn't one long CGI fight interrupted by a shot-in-the-nuts joke?

Wut.

I am convinced Bobby understood that as well as I did but retweeted anyway because it had progressive words and pictures he liked.

Yeah, well, we didn't march into academia and start decorating lampposts with the faculty was was corrupting our children. I guess we all regret our mistakes.

Don't worry, he has no history of shooting whales, just pedophiles and more general abusers.

Oh, you're still worried?

(It's Jordan Red Skull Peterson all over again - they don't seem to realize that associating their target with the far right doesn't make their target look more evil, it makes the far right look better.)

Based on his time on the stand I'm not sure if he'll even handle a gun again; this experience has messed him up. That said, if an angry mob ever actively cornered him again I suspect he'd defend himself. He won't go out of his way to help others but if the chaos comes for his family....

So yeah, I expect he'll kill again too.

I always enjoy how they talk about "trans pioneers" while refusing to acknowledge that they pretty consistently looked like women.

Nah, I think he got enough the last time he said he wanted Poland invaded.

It's not just a common meme; it's what Stan Lee has explicitly said about his own creation. From the horse's mouth:

How did you originally conceive the X-Men?

Our first book, Fantastic Four, was selling very well, so my publisher asked me to come up with another team of heroes. Well, my main idea was how could I make them different from all the other teams that were around? And the big problem was figuring out how they got their superpowers. I couldn't have everybody bitten by a radioactive spider or zapped with gamma rays, and it occurred to me that if I just said that they were mutants, it would make it easy. Then it occurred to me that instead of them just being heroes that everybody admired, what if I made other people fear and suspect and actually hate them because they were different? I loved that idea; it not only made them different, but it was a good metaphor for what was happening with the civil rights movement in the country at that time.

It's possible Lee is retconning his personal history here, just as Lucas regularly retcons how he created Star Wars, but it seems credible to me. It also doesn't mean every panel and storyline has to be laden with hamfisted metaphor a la Pilgrim's Progress.

 

[Quixotic Man]

I really hope Rittenhouse gets off so we can get a Bob rant on federal charges for Kyle, the judge, the defense, and the manager of the local McDonalds and how we should be able to throw them in the gulag in any case.

That comes up a lot. He's also said in other interviews that if he did it then it would've been sub-concious. The problem is it's usually interviewers coming to him to ask about stories he wrote decades ago rather than a thing Lee actively claimed on his own.

Besides actual stories he wrote like Beast's origin contradict it. They directly cite his dad working at a nuclear plant with bad safety regulations for why Hank McCoy is a mutant. There's next to nothing in the Lee run that reflects a Civil Rights influence without stretching.

So has enough time passed at this point that it wouldn't be too "awkward" for the Germans to swing in and take care of this obviously-dangerous nutcase running Poland before he get's all genocide-y? Or is this one of the dirty jobs WE get to do once we're on the Good* Team again?
