    This is actually (spoilers for terrible movie Scales: Mermaids Are Real) the climax of the movie Scales. Mermaids can control water and their blood heals people in that movie, so hunters are trying to get their blood and then one guy tries a last ditch bad guy move and the main character pulls all the water out of his body and he horrifically melts.

    Kind of made me side with the hunters at that point it’s a horrifying power.


  • We don’t know.

    The US came back from a US president hiring private goons to spy on his political opponents.

    The US came back from a US president illegally selling weapons to Iran to fund right wing militias in South America.

    The US came back from a US cabinet member taking literal bribes from oil companies to give them oil drilling rights on federal land.

    The US came back from a US president illegally firing a cabinet member and installing his own lackey.

    But it didn’t HAVE to.

    I don’t think there’s really such a thing as a ‘point of no return’ for a Democracy. But it is possible to get to a point after which you don’t return.

    The metric you are using is not the metric the actual real world uses for center left. You are bringing your internet lefty definitions and declaring that I’m wrong to say only internet lefties would use them. Major parties in the middle of the political spectrum are not typically pushing for the overthrow of Capitalism.

    Being left of center is not solely defined by being Marxist, and one country, even if it actually was Marxist and not 3 Capitalisms in a trenchcoat, would not define the standard of what constitutes “left” in the world.

    I’m not saying Marxism isn’t Left. I’m saying it’s not literally the only thing that IS Left.

    They want to use the power of government to reduce the harms of capitalism, via minimum wages, social safety nets, child tax credit, subsidizing more environmentally friendly energy production and electric cars.

    No they are not as far left as you and the people you talk to online, I didn’t say that. You are allowed to want different policies. You’re just incorrect to call them right wing.

    Apparently it’s not the Last Supper but even if it was, what part mocks Christians? Like nothing in the stage direction is mocking, so it must literally just be that they don’t like drag queens.

    A drag queen performing a Queen song isn’t mocking Queen. They just are a drag queen while performing Queen. I wouldn’t be offended by that as a Queen fan.
