It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

It's a classic No True Scotsman fallacy at work.
No, it's a conservative wiping the scales from their eyes (albeit momentarily) and realizing liberals and conservatives are just two sides of the capitalism party, which is liberalism.
I don't think they realized that at all, even momentarily. They're just calling themself the one true conservative for not seeing the Barbie movie lol.

We had basically won the culture war but dropped Oppenheimer and Barbie on them anyway

Historical events are designed, by the woke left, to make Americans feel bad about their country.

Sounds like a perfectly healthy way to live
Even his "conservative friends" are clearly put off by his culture war bullshit lol. They just want to be normal and watch normal movies.
In retrospect the line "conservatism is the new punk rock" was incredibly funny coming from the guys who got into conservative politics through children's toys.

Imagine if you will, a world where men cry in the corner for fear of the complete unraveling of civilization... All because two mid pop culture movies became popular...
You have entered the BudLite Zone.
Imagine getting "black-pilled" over the "anti-american agenda" of the scientist equivalent of another shoot-and-cry movie.

of course you have stupid, that was the point of the culture war. you wanted to feel like you were being oppressed so you chose to see the presence of other people as an act of aggression. there was never any winning for you.
Oppenheimer is anti-American and pro-communist
Wait fr? Should I go watch it?
anything short of “the nuke was awesome and should have been used in every war since and against the USSR and China” is communist propaganda to these ppl

Not really. It was a lot more intelligent about nuclear politics than I expected from a hollywood movie, but it hews closely to Oppenheimer's viewpoint, so first we're shown all the forces that impelled them to build the bomb, then we're hit with the sense of foreboding and regret after it's been built. There's an insightful line from the villain where he accuses Oppenheimer of wanting to have it both ways, wanting the accolades for winning the war and the moral absolution of opposing proliferation. I don't think the median American moviegoer would absorb its thesis as an anti-nuclear one (and the Barbenheimer meme is probably a good indication of that). I'd still say go see it if the subject interests you.

holy shit lmao
What are they even talking about? They have done NOTHING BUT win culture wars ever since 2012. If you're all doom and gloom over Barbie, I hope someone forces you to watch Idiocracy where morons like you are even more viciously pointed out.
