Another woman in Jeff's sights:
But the smaller number of cuts is objectively better? (and I refuse to hear otherwise, also this whole scene in Superman was stupid imo):
Spoiler: tweet with the sped-up video (click to show)(click to hide)
Spoiler: Lois and Clark have the same conversation in BvS, but everyone pretends they don't for some reason (click to show)(click to hide)
Of course, the theatrical cut eliminates almost all the investigation scenes with Lois being skeptical from the start and uncovering Lex's plan:
I can't even find a clip on YouTube of when she meets with Harry Lennix.
In fact, this is the real reason the Ultimate Cut is superior and they should have sliced out more of the action scenes and Doomsday fight from the theatrical one to keep it. You see Lois figuring out Lex from one side and Clark investigating Batman from the other. So how Lex is manipulating the already insane Batman to go after Superman is blatantly obvious. I think it adds to Bruce's guilt, that he didn't see the plot and how he was turned into the weapon.

why do they always out themselves like this? is this some a kink of theirs to be performatively outraged while non-subtly cramming in their very specific fetishes that no normal person would ever think of out of the blue?

I'll again say it: a lot of posters on this forum today have a strong center-right or right-wing view on a lot of these issues but seem to think they're "liberals" or "independents" or "center-left". Tough news: You are somewhere on the right side of the spectrum and are lying to yourself. You need to do some reflection on how you got there and why.
I'm unclear on if this is the audience that has been curated on this forum via its topic locks, bans and such, but people — including those in leadership — really need to wake up, and sooner rather than later. There's too much at stake and Dems WILL LOSE if they are allowed to continue down this path. If blatantly dishonest, often islamophobic, often low-intelligence discourse continues to be the standard rather than demanding better of posters.
It's no surprise we're seeing the reaction we're seeing in the media: Establishment members want to keep their power more than they want to help you. Republicans want to keep their power and not help anyone. Media wants to keep peddling their garbage in service to the State Department. The left threatens all three and are growing rapidly, which is why all 3 groups sound the same right now. Of all of the shit they should be talking about endlessly (wars, affordability, healthcare, imperialism, vision for the country, infrastructure, chip shortages, data center disruptions, drinking water, climate change, etc.), they're talking about Hasan and Trans kids. They're doing it for a reason and it ain't because these are the biggest issue in American society. They're doing it because they think you're fucking STUPID and will spend your time engaged in culture war bullshit while they continue to cut checks to Israel, various industrial complexes, and put the rest of our collective wealth in their pockets. But mothafuckas don't have shit to say in those threads. This one, however, can reach 15 pages.
I need you guys to lock the fuck in, understand what's happening, who your actual allies are, and move accordingly. Don't be useful idiots. Keep your eyes on the ball. See what they're doing and look past it to the weak, flailing people peddling this shit. MOVE ACCOR

It is super clear that the boss call went out from AIPAC. Everyone attacking him for his latest rightwing smear regarding Jew and the conflation with Zionism and Israel are not up the the task of defending against fascism and must resign.
If you who read this have tried make this attack I want you to know I have nothing but the deepest contempt for you. I have no idea what you are, and why anyone would even by chance want to be and stay on the same side as a regime carrying out the biggest genocide is decades.

I believe b-dubs is legit scared off banning Hamas Era. He bans two or three but only if he can also ban people from the opposing side. He's scared off another riot if he were to actually ban everyone of them who deserves it. And it's so dumb because they accuse him of being anti-leftist anyway

Actually the RSF, who do most of the genociding, are predominantly Arab and are arguably Arab supremacists. So it's Arabs slaughtering black people which might be a reason why the pro Palestinians don't care for it.

They're doing it because they think you're fucking STUPID and will spend your time engaged in culture war bullshit while they continue to cut checks to Israel, various industrial complexes, and put the rest of our collective wealth in their pockets. But mothafuckas don't have shit to say in those threads. This one, however, can reach 700 posts.
I need you guys to lock the fuck in, understand what's happening, who your actual allies are, and move accordingly. Don't be useful idiots. Keep your eyes on the ball. See what they're doing and look past it to the weak, flailing people peddling this shit. MOVE ACCORDINGLY.

Every day I'm more convinced this place has posters/mods that work for special interest groups. They're spreading and reinforcing the same messages as the twitter bots and they're so unreasonable it's like you're not having a real discussion. This place has gone wild.
