I like the Seahawks, and I hate nazis
If you didn't like the movie, that's fine, but saying "Jake raised a bundle of arrows, therefore this movie is fascist" is an extremely lazy and dishonest critique.

Ok, let's say she wants to do it all herself. She'll need to hire people to handle the money. People to distribute it. People to scout for worthy projects. Whoops! Now you've got one more charity, doing redundant work that other charities already have the infrastructure to handle.

Sure, there are bad charities out there. That's not a reason to avoid donating to the good ones.

It's pretty easy to effectively give away $1.3 million. It's a lot harder to do that for $26.3 billion. That's what charitable organizations are for; they figure out how to most effectively spend the money to help people most efficiently.

The US didn't know how close Japan was to surrender; US intelligence and Japanese diplomacy led them to expect the war to last well into 1946.

I think that's a bad argument because it completely ignores the historical context of the bomb being developed and used during the most destructive conflict in human history. It would be completely unrealistic to expect ANY belligerent in WWII not to use the bomb, had they gotten their hands on it

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes

I bargained for salvation an’ they gave me a lethal dose

I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn

“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

Yeah, that's in there, but it think in a plain reading the movie clearly has an anti-racist message.

I think the people who call Zootopia racist need to get a life. Aladdin, on the other hand... There's definitely some yikes in that one

Umm, no. It was not "genuinely, openly racist". I haven't seen the show in ages, so not gonna comment on specifics, but if you're gonna call the creator of a kid's show basically a Nazi, you oughta have more ammo than a couple potentially problematic character designs.

A lot of people in the 2010s used it to signal their disdain for sports, and by extension, people who enjoy sports. Basically "I'm too smart to watch sports, and if you do, that means you're dumb"

there is a certain condescension in the idea that “racism should be publicly unacceptable and come with consequences” is an attack on the “working class.”

it tends to accentuate one of the bigger issues with "technology must serve the greater good." whose good? you see this come into play a lot with how anti-AI criticism has now become co-determinous with late 90s industry piracy rhetoric about copyright
