If you don't steal from your boss, you're stealing from your family.

This is actually hilarious.

This needs more love.

Here's the thing, you said "Azov are Nazis." Are they in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.

As someone who is a political scientist who studies democracies, I am telling you, in political science, noone calls Azov Nazis.

:liberalism: We need a strong Republican party! They're reasonable people.

But we don't see any affects of that. The Metal Bending police aren't shown oppressing non-benders. The Council isn't shown making decisions that favor benders. They aren't shown doing anything really other than responding to the Equalists. It's a purely liberal understanding of government where representation is all that matters, aesthetics.

For instance the victory for non-benders is shown to be having an (I think elected) non-bender president. But what actually changes from that? Metal Benders are still the police, benders are still the military. My complaint is that they only show the surface level, which is why the Equalist movement feels so hollow.

I wish Korra actually showed that life was worse for non-benders. Other than the one scene with the gangsters Korra fights in episode 1, we don't see at all how benders are the ruling class. We should have had scenes of proles walking to work while waterbenders surf past on a magic wave and drench them all in slime water. We should have seen non-benders struggle for warmth in their apartment that doesn't have power, while a firebender lights a cigarette outside. Or a bricklayer breaking their back while an earth bender walks by and casually tosses it aside as a joke. Instead it seemed like most benders tooks care of most public utilities: metal police, electricity bending power grids, water bending healers. Give the Equalists a good reason to fight, don't just cop out with "there are gangsters who bend."

What they’re going after is just not their right.

People having individual choices can't be sacrificed for the greater good, c'mon. Definitely no hidden ideology in there.

Should it really be "damnthatsinteresting" if it's not at all a shock revelation?

Unfortunately "ending dependency on Russian Oil" is already a talking point with neoliberals. And it's an argument for more fracking.

The original Digimon is about the death of imagination and childhood innocence in a capitalist system. Before the jump into the digiverse, they live in 90s Japan (Tokyo maybe?), it's all grey tones, and every one of the children's parents is distant, many of them because of issues of capitalism. The Digiverse provides a literal escape from 90s capitalist Japan, but also a mental escape from the monotony of growing up to reproduce capitalism. No I will not elaborate, and Wizardmon goes hard.

Lindsay Ellis's shit takes aside, she makes a very good case for parodying fascism (Nazism in particular). Fascists haven't appropriated Mel Brooks's lampoons of fascism. They unironically love American History X and sing "Tomorrow Belongs to Me". Nazis do not love "Springtime for Hitler" in the Producers or Jojo Rabbit because it makes them look silly and dumb. Fascists don't have a coherent ideology and build their ethos around telling themselves they are badass warriors, so parodying fascism by making them sing and dance like clowns is good.
