The Avatar cultural relevance discussion in a nutshell:
"It’s irrelevant because I ignore it, and I ignore it because it's irrelevant."
This reasoning shows up a lot when popular art collides with critical identity, and it says more about the critic’s limitations than the work's significance.

If the media is covering a protest it is a right wing astroturf garbage dump. 100% The media literally ignores millions of people protesting if it's any actual issue that effects real people. But if 20 truck drivers suddenly want to dictate national policy on vaccines they get coverage for 6 months.

But there is a reason that they are keeping all of this information hidden from the American public.

Capitalism will end. It has zero purpose outside of protecting cruelty, violence and child exploitation. It does not measure any level of merit. The only thing wealth symbolizes is corruption. The only promise of wealth is escaping the harm capitalism creates artificially to sustain its hierarchy.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Baloney. The masses used to be able to see the advantages/successes of effective governing. Because it was reported fairly. Modern media is run by corporate power working against the public good. It has spent 50 years trying to sabotage/bury every form of government that serves the public good.
I think there are essentially three root errors that are killing the left-of-center’s ability to navigate present-day politics.
First: DELIVERISM
Liberals and progressives want to believe that if you do things that help voters, they’ll like you. But often, they don’t notice or care.

Every time I read stuff like this, the whole premise of deliverism (people will reward you with votes for doing good things so you should do more good things) is dead wrong. When you have the power you should do good things on their own merits, and it’s disconnected from electoral outcomes.
