    Hahahahaa Sargon of Akkad is a racist, sexist moron. who self destructed and embarrassed his own political party. I guess he is back to his worthless pop culture reviews of shitty movies made 30 years ago. Nah I'll pass Demolition Man was nothing but a terrible movie that good only for how poorly it was made.

    Because he objectively is.

    Not my problem you can't accept a single piece of the mountain of evidence that's against your beloved strong man.

    I won't argue with a guy who's going to only scream "FAKE NEWS" at any argument brought to him.

    It's fairly telling as to how bad Sargon's takes are by comparison.
    Yes, it's pretty bad when I point to the screaming man covered in paint and have to say "he somehow got the point much, much better than your guy." And yet, somehow, it is quite true.

Don't try telling me that political correctness is a lefty thing.



    One Million Moms is a right wing "group" (headed by . . . one woman, where the other 999,999 moms are I don't know) recently threw a fit about a Burger King commercial that had the word "damn" in it, and earlier threw a fit about Hallmark playing a commercial with a lesbian couple in it.

    But I'm supposed to be lead to believe that the left has a monopoly on Political Correctness?

    "Snarky white man stating his opinions as fact loudly into the camera" is up there with "anime avatar offers shitty hot takes like 'Lio and Galo's Height Difference in Promare is Problematic'" in terms of YouTube video format I am glad have faded in popularity.

    Your Sargons, your Jordans Peterson, et cetera are nothing but modern day snake oil salesmen selling rage, basically.

    You do realize that there is such a thing as reputation and credibility?

    Waste enough of it and you get to a point where people no longer have to obligation to take your "essays" (and I am using this word liberally in this case) seriously and entertain your ravings beyond an automatic dismissal.

    That point, Sargon is way beyond that point.

    If you want to interpret movies from a certain POV, take that to Cinema / TV Shows / Music / Books.
