all jokes aside i like how "leftist" ideas are becoming more mainstream and marketable but i dislike how they're being sold to us
"the boys" and "mr robot" are legitimately some of the best shows and i recommend them, and they have some good messages, anti-capitalist ones at that. but they don't dig very deep and they completely avoid concepts like "unions".
in "the boys", there are in-universe superheroes but also they make superhero movies, and the criticism ends at "haha sometimes superheroes are cringey" and not "hey, these super-expensive films couldn't exist in an ethical economic system", because that would implicate "the boys" irl as well.
On a related note, jstpst is one of those sites I can happily say works great without Javascript. It even implements dropdown menus using that cool CSS trick!
Not to sound like a samey freeze-peacher, but I value transparency like this. The best forums have high moderation standards with clear reasoning.
This poster seemed to ride the line of blogspam, genuinityness unclear, but also this is just a silly lil internet forum. Bans are easy and free, and very cool
