imo, this is clearly a tumblr take, and one that was born in reaction to the other common tumblr take made by people who only care about children’s media and leftist theory, which is "beloved nostalgic animated series is actually secretly super progressive and leftist actually", itself born out of "beloved nostalgic animated series is kinda bigoted in some places tbh"
a fedi take would be "voting in elections or organizing revolution? this is a fake choice, neither lead to freedom. the only way to attain freedom is using linux."
“voting in elections or organizing revolution? this is a fake choice, neither lead to freedom. the only way to attain freedom is using linux.”
That explains why since joining the fedi my cell phone has been slowly looking weirder
Day 1: signed up for hexbear
Day 2: downloaded duckduckgo browser
Day 3: thought hexbear was maybe a little too friendly towards north korea, left
Day 10: signed up for beehaw using duck duck go browser
Day 11: saw through my first wiki edit to ensure it remains
Day 12-14: got into an argument on the discussion section of a Wikipedia article
Day 17: left Wikipedia, downloaded f-droid to be able to download a new keyboard on my.phone
Day 18: enabled 7 day duckduckgo trial for VPN
Day 25: really started thinking about communism and if pure societal focused decision making was best
Day 26: wondered if capitalism could be defeated by driving property values up by beautifying your own rental
Day 27: deleted dumb apps because duckduckgo said they made lots of requests
Day 28: started looking for best way to share photos without google, settled on service needing end to end encryption, decided against self hosting solution after research (but still researched). Downloaded new keyboard and started looking into expanded version of fediverse, liking that w3 had something to do with it
"The starter kit for linux comes with these thigh high socks, cat ears hair band, star trek TNG season 7 uniform, and your choice of corn, beans, or moths for some reason"
Yo, are we getting some motherfucking beans over here?
"Your preferred linux disto literally invaded palestine"
Intro level Leninism is just subverting the will of the voters and writing prolifically about how you can't be wrong because then this whole ordeal would be horrific.
Here's a seventeen paragraph explanation on why Jake The Dog is PROBLEMATIC AND TOXIC, FUCK YOU IF YOU ENJOY ANY IF THE MEDIA ASSOCIATED WITH IT
A reddit link posted on a fediverse forum to a screenshot from Tumblr?
It’s right there in the title ”50% of the fediverse … be like”
The children’s show was the best we could do given the material conditions!
McCartneyism-Lennonism is a lot like christianity you have to get kids brainwashed into it at a young age before they can start to think critically.

I mean this is valid for things like My Little Pony where it really isnt trying to address super serious topics. But for things like Steven Universe where the villain is a literal genocidal fascist, the criticism this is mocking is kinda right.
The show is an allegory for being trans and how family may treat you like shit for wanting different things than them. It is made for kids under 13 years old. Telling kids they should kill people after they have changed and agreed to fix what was broken seems like a bad thing.
Also, the creator (Rebecca Sugar) is a queer Jewish person, so I think they are well aware of the history of fascism and its consequences. They chose to make the tone and arc of the show anyways, and maybe you should think about why they made that choice before criticizing a children's show for not encouraging murder as a solution to problems.
Also, shattered gems are shown to still have at least some awareness, meaning that shattering the Diamonds wouldn't be killing them, but subjecting them to eternal torture. While also removing the only hope for fixing the gems that are corrupted. Which is what the Diamonds are tasked with to start making things right, along with giving up their social power over the rest of the gems.
