    Imagine Mao coming back and seeing what a giant economic, political, and diplomatic force China has become, and thinking a more permissive policy on LGBT folks is what he’d focus on.

        Germans made a comedy (I know) about Hitler waking up in the modern day (of course they did).

        Er ist wieder da / He Is Back / Look Who's Back has a pretty great ending, though.

        Hitler makes a meta-film inside the film about his life in the modern world, and the German public fucking loves him. He makes a political comeback, people his car drives by start Sieg Heil-ing, and a bunch of clips of modern German politicians play. “I can work with this.” Hitler says.

    The only “problem” ever with LGBTQ movements is the amount of conflict, being offended, and butting into other peoples’ medical matters that right wing chuds are choosing to do about it. If they just shut the fuck up it would just be normal people living their normal lives and no country would be even slightly threatened.

    “The LGBT ideology is a tool of Western imperialists to destroy a country”

    Then why does the UK still exist? Has it been hanging on purely because I haven’t been “gay enough”?

    Reminds me that there are supposedly chuds out there angry that Elliott Page was cast as Achilles in the upcoming Odyssey adaptation. Like. Fucking… Achilles. Angry that Achilles isn’t het enough for them. Fucking hysterical. Although it was apparently all a rumour and he’s playing a crewman, anyway, after all that.

    May every bird shit on the head of the person who tries to use communism as a vehicle for pushing reactionary social conservatism. They are directly assisting the right-wing culture war being waged against minority groups.

    What is Breaking With Old Ideas if not abandoning outdated relics from the past?

    There’s this quote in Richard Evan’s book on Deng, but I can’t find a copy online so i’m approximating

    if Mao knew what we were doing he’d punish us all, let’s hope the old man finds plenty more of his poems that need work, while he’s up in the mountains

    Love to see reactionaries who know nothing about China completely speaking out of their arse
