The metals are a big thing. Breathing heavy metals is bad for people and animals.

It’s not worse, it’s different. CO2 kills everything on earth but that takes a lot of it. The toxins you listed can give a community long term health issues without that much exposure. It’s a local problem vs a global problem.

Oh, you’re one of those people who thinks a mental disorder makes someone abusive. You know, a conservative.

What kind of anarchist uses ableist slurs? People with NPD are not your enemy, they are not the source of conservativism. They’re just kids who were abused and are trying to live life as adults without having a mental breakdown over not being good enough. Statistically they are poor, have few friends, and have terrible health problems. Because NPD is a social disability. It interferes with holding a steady job, holding a steady friend group, holding a steady lack of desire to kill oneself. People with NPD are exactly the kind of person you want within a leftist group. They’ve been failed by the system and they understand the system’s flaws. They understand the mechanisms of abuse and have a stunning gift for identifying and calling out right wing bullshit. And they fight like hell against what they perceive as injustice.

You should be trying to get people with NPD to join our movement, not using slurs that degrade them and accusing reactionaries of mental disability.

This comment is amazing. I’ve been trying to counter all the tankie propaganda with a parody community [email protected]

We have a post about this on [email protected] - https://lemmy.ca/post/24441083

You should host it on lemm.ee, it’s a large instance with a hands-off admin who doesn’t believe in censorship.

The world admins are some of the most garbage people on the whole fediverse.

ACAB includes mods. These jobs attract the kind of reddit/lemmy users who want to have power over a petty fiefdom and abuse it. Good mods only get shamed for ridiculous reasons like “Wouldn’t let me be transphobic” and “enforced the rules”. Bad mods get shame they deserve. Mods get paid in power over others, and as an anarchist, I personally seek to ensure that power is constantly questioned, and abolished if it’s abused.

I say all this as the owner of a sublemmy, and I expect to be held to the same standard.

Cops don’t care about solving crimes!

It gets absurd enough when you go back to the original claim

“My MMR vaccine is completely safe, but the other MMR vaccine gives your child an upset tummy, which causes autism”

Don’t forget Bigger Luke

He’s still Batman. He does detective stuff, doesn’t have superpowers, Gotham is appropriately grimdark, etc. Terry doesn’t have to learn that with great power comes great responsibility like Peter does. The only similarity is that he’s a working class wisecracking teenager with a somewhat agility based fighting style. Peter Parker was never a burly hoodlum before he got his powers, and he doesn’t see being a superhero as a way to make up for mistakes he made as a normal. He also didn’t steal his powers. Terry is a much more mature and slightly darker character than Peter at the start of his journey. He’s not an academically minded geek, he’s someone who’s experienced the real world and understands it. He’s got street smarts, he can fight, and he can lie.

I don’t think the writers have made him perfect. His most recent movie, No Way Home, is about Peter trying to use superpowers to help his friends get out of trouble. Which backfires and causes a bunch of problems, and Aunt May dies saying “with great power there must also come great responsibility.” Seems like a pretty on-theme story.

Okay do fucking Spider-Man and tell me how “with great power comes great responsibility” is Objectivist. Rand wanted all the talented people to fuck off and leave the stupid poors to die! Spider-Man’s first arc is realising that his powers shouldn’t be used for self enrichment.

In Batman Beyond, Batman’s nemesis is a CEO. He’s a villain called Blight, who killed Batman’s father.

I had an upvote on your comment until the last paragraph. But that’s a bad last paragraph.

Batman is a good person and that’s why it’s fiction.

This fact was revealed in Batman Beyond, in which Batman’s nemesis is an evil CEO called Blight.

I would like you to explain how Captain America and Superman are reactionary.

Captain America is an artificial warrior created by a Jewish scientist to fight the Nazis, and Superman is a baby sent away in a basket to be raised by not-dead parents who chose to use his privilege to help people.

Zack Snyder is an Objectivist and that’s why his Superman movies stink. He doesn’t understand the core themes of superheroes, he only understands the spectacle and surface theatrics.

This is why I’m so excited for Batman Azteca. Aztec warrior Batman killing colonisers like the insane conquistadore Two-Face
