Cleaving to the centre has enabled Trump, because centrists can’t criticise the neoliberal system while Trump and his MAGA cult can and will.
As the facade of neoliberal policy crumbles we can all see it doesn’t work. Being able to criticise it and assert a different future (rather than a mythical past of greatness) is essential.
Have you tried Invidious?
Or poketube?
Less overt gore than some splatter fests mentioned already, but Martyrs was an incredibly intense, uncomfortable gorey watch.
I ran into exactly the same thing:
My response to illustrate how it was wrong, for the young and unaware who can get suckered into the “just asking questions” alt-right neo-fasc pipeline, included:
Various metallurgical and mining techniques. Medical techniques both ancient and new. A new type of syringe. Varieties of boats. Dolosse Blocks. Coffee as a drink.

You gotta start them on the road to “Capitalism bad” somewhere.
If you think Alien 3 is a worse film than Prometheus, I think your opinion on Alien films is invalid.
Like the others so far have said, if government is to justify its continued existence it needs to be for the good of all the people, not just those with capital.
It still implies a level of hierarchy and control, which isn’t good and will tend to lead to centralisation and corruption because power tends towards collecting more power.
But if it could be making life on the ground better for all the people, (food, shelter, education, preventing the environmental destruction that private ownership has bought) not at the expense of people within or without it’s borders (even that one child in the secret basement), them it’d be a damn sight better.
The hungry little murder machine that murders my enemies is my friend.
Cats, where did they go? Inside!
Where did they sleep? Everywhere!
I think you may have found one of the constructive stereotypes that OP wanted.
Good job.
I hope more folks can appreciate how great Sikhs often are.
I think it’s that we don’t really call them stereotypes when they’re not applied to people.
At that point it’s just a hueristic.
I rate both JohntheDuncan and Andrewism highly as not overly wanky Left politics channels.
(No, you don’t need to pad the video out with 50 minutes of intercut “plot line” where you fight with a mirror world version of you, who’s wrecking havok on the lives of your guest stars who can only be sent back by a tangentially related metaphor to the main topic of the video.)
I don’t think a stereotype can ever really be constructive, even if “positive” since it limits the space for people that don’t fit it.
A clear example of this would be that Asian people are good at Maths. Not true, and does a lot of harm to the many Asians who are not exceptionally good at Maths. (For instance that Asian University candidates are often penalised for only having average Maths grades, or just the bullying and social pressure of feeling you’re not living up to a birthright.)
I accidentally beat the Mantis Triplets far earlier than I needed to because I couldn’t find the path into the ruined capital city I was meant to take.
Long route back to fighting the optional boss to enter a far too difficult zone for me. Only after beating them and discovering that that was not where I was meant to go did I backtrack and find the turning I’d missed to actually progress. (I rather liked Hollow Knight despite this, but you don’t and that’s fine. I just think it would be funny (, and a sign of poor map design if you made the same map reading error I did).)
I’m fairly sure that at this point pirating has been shown to lead to increased sales, even of small scale productions.
Also, no one said that people can’t keep the rights for a while, just that if you don’t let people access those things you don’t get to prosecute them for making the art available.
Or, I’ll you’ll bear with me, I reject the arbitrary and contrived difference the comic puts forwards.
You’ll surely grant that in real life there is a lot of co-morbidity between the two conditions - even if you personally might not agree that the improvements to the house that the people you label as Nationalist would try to implement. Which is the Patriot’s quality.
That’s true.
I was reading a nutter manifesto from the Heritage Party in the UK earlier… It is a hodgepodge of animal rights laws that are a mix of actual animal rights and outlawing Halal and Kosher slaughter, encouraging free markets and nationalising railways and utilities, being free speech and personal freedom but LGBTQ people can’t have families or be spoken about, want to invest in the military and especially navy but also apparently are anti-war and want to cease support for Ukraine.
Gavrillo Princip and Lee Harvey Oswald show it’s hardly new.
Both bullied outsiders who wanted to show the world they weren’t weak and could leave a mark on history.
Edit: your overall point about the constraints on masculinity though is very much on the mark I think, though. All the more reason to break down gender norms.
