I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Greta Gerwig's genius wit unfolds itself on their movie screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, I DO have a Barbie tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only - and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 emotional IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

As a consequence, people who dislike the Barbie movie truly ARE unsophisticated - of course, they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the satire in Barbie's existential realization of her own artificiality, which itself is a cryptic reference to Jean Baudrillard's concept of hyperreality.

There's also Barbie's nuanced exploration of her own objectification, which is deftly woven into her characterization - her personal philosophy draws heavily from feminist literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these commentaries, to realize that they're not just funny - they say something deep about SOCIETY.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand the Barbie movie. The humor is extremely nuanced, and without a solid...

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand the Barbie movie. The humor is extremely nuanced, and without a solid understanding of societal gender norms and the complex history of Barbie, most of the satire will go over a typical viewer's head.

#BlueMAGA isn't about political power - it's the deformed offspring of Jon Stewart from the Bush era (not his fault). If you demonstrate that you're snarkier and smarter than the stupid CHUDs and hysterical leftists, then Obama will materialize, make the GOP go away, and let you get back to brunch.

#Lenin could make that critique because, whether you agree with it or not, he **was** offering an alternative, that of a vanguard party pushing without ceasing for revolution.

#Zizek does **not** have that. By his own admission, none such exists in the west anywhere. So then his critique is nothing more than a demand to support #neoliberal regimes that currently run the state, without any plan to ever challenge such

"There was both envy and condemnation as they watched “ordinary” people breaking into the pinnacle of state sovereignty, creating a carnival that momentarily suspended the rules of public life."

But seems unable to understand the principle of #dualpower. Yes, the left should provide social services and aid. But not through the mechanisms of the state, instead through competing organizations that bring support to the left, not the existing state.

So, aside from liberal whining about how violent protest just deligitimizes and hurts the poor more, his call is then for the left, in the face of right wing revolutionary energy towards civil war, to be the party of law and order.

In other words, the left will take on the burden of defense of existing institutions.

And?

That's not interference, much less proof that Trump was installed or controlled by Russia.

Pretend all you want, but the Russiagate nonsense was always sold as "Hillary didn't really lose, it was the Russians!". Which is nonsense.

According to the Danchenko indictment, in June 2016, Dolan toured the Ritz-Carlton suite where the alleged liaison occurred, and discussed Trump’s 2013 visit with hotel staff, but wasn’t told about any sexual escapades. It’s still unclear where those salacious details that ended up in the dossier came from.

Dolan was also indirectly linked in the indictment to still-unverified claims about Russian officials who were allegedly part of the election meddling.
