      I don’t think he faced any real consequences for promoting Zionism. The media is currently promoting him as an LGBT icon for doing a ‘coming out’ speech in the new season of Stranger Things that was released on Christmas. His character came out as gay and also he’s gay in real life.

      (Spoilers)

        It’s the exact same stuff from every other season but done worse. More retconning. Just about ever episode is characters coming up with a plan, arguing with each other about the plan, doing stupid analogies, then only spending 5 mins executing the plan. That only leads to needing another plan. Too many characters. Now there are more people holding up their hands and screaming in slow motion. They ran out of music licensing money because they are fucking beating Running Up That Hill into the ground. Some of the actors are clearly phoning it in and tired of doing the show. A lot of nonsensical plot points and weird character moments.

        i mean, lily allen also famously said her hiring sex workers to get down on the sly with when married to her previous partner wasn’t cheating, because the sex workers were women. later, she would go on to have an affair with a man, and that she characterizes as infidelity.

        i try not to be too involved in celebrities doing each other dirty, in the context of their romantic entanglements since they might as well be aliens from an incomprehensible culture. however, i did have a relationship with an artist once who, i would come to believe, really only seemed to seek out romantic relationships so they could spark novel emotional configurations and interpersonal conflicts to mine for content starring an idealized version of themselves as the brave, honest hero.

        Even in the show he’s a jackarse. He basically sells out Eleven to the feds and then when he adopts her he’s a controlling dipshit. Can’t wait til he gets killed off for emotional impact

    Pretty consistent with standard liberal ignorance about the conflict tbh. Most of them see it as “two equal sides” just fighting for “no reason” and they’re just one good brunch conversation away from hashing things out.

        depends on the intent of the creator, but i think it is something to indicate that brazil funk (or phonk) has outlived it trendyness in north america, and its use is to indicate an attempt to relate to popular culture despite being out of culture half a decade ago.

              Which 2000-year-old cult are you talking about? Noah Schnapp is not a Christian. He was a 19 year old man who showed support for Zionism at the same time that Israel launched a genocide in Gaza.

                Not the first genocide either. It took like a decade for Americans to sour on Iraq/Afghanistan wars, and now we’ve like 15 veteran committing suicide. It took Germany 5 years after WW2 started for Operation Valkyrie to be attempted. We’re already established that Israelis are no batter than Nazis in Germany. It may take them 5+ years to realize they’ve been false flagged and tricked into committing a genocide.
