I suspect its more that they hate their success and want to reappropriate it as their own twisted idea of success

They put the cart before the horse. They prioritise the political statement then the story comes after.

That's even more pathetic

are bollywood films diverse though? 😛

thats whats really important!

Do they have to?

not the story pffft

I gloated a lot over that "feminist apparel" thing where the owner just fired everyone instead of resigning from his OWN company

Probably diverse enough regarding India's demographics.

What kind of worker demands their boss resign?

A cultural marxist

Thats some damn shortsightedness

Was he the one accused of sexual assault?

No, just an attempt to shame someone and grab their established franchise while they can

No bad tactics, remember?

Really hate that quote

Yeah, lets lie and make false claims about their side for wrong think

I don't really like the idea of "tactics" altogether. The idea that we have to be actively calculating to push our preferred ideas.

I recognise there's always a sort of tug of war going all the time in society to shape our culture but it'd be nicer if things were a bit more honest and out in the open, then discussed.

Too many activists demanding exactly what they want right this moment.

I don't subscribe to that either

You see neither feminism nor any other -ism will fix the broken bit of public road

Agendas do a lot of stuff, but not exactly an objective problem solving

rule of thumb: if activists in current year demand something - do the opposite

I'd rather have shit done than my tribalistic feels appeased

Yeah I don't get those 'progressives' that think it's only progress if we go from 0 to 100% in one step..

Also: isn't it a bit of disingenuous tactic that political parties extort people with - alonmg with these good reforms and solutions you really want, you also MUST subscribe to all this stinky tub of shit as well

No. I don't

yeah i don't get those "progressives" that think that they are right on anything they say

But then again i have no idea how to do it better...

Well such radical change is anti-democratic and therefore a recipe for disaster. You need to keep making your argument until you've convinced a critical mass of the population, until you've achieved consensus. Only then, with society's consent, can effective and lasting change be made.

remove political parties, have inidividuals

maybe then they actually talk in policies and not dogma

What is worse is that these ignoramuses demand a blanc-slate revolution in many cases

Abolish X. Then we will make something better instead

yes

typical idealist

Do you demolish a house when a few lights are asymmteric?

Yeah they're much better at tearing down than they are at building anything up.

fix X and all shall be well

are they good at anything besides shouting?
