KEEPING LOST TIME: a review of DARK

my latest video essay, about the quite good 2018 german time travel murder mystery show DARK and the structural limitations of streaming television. may or many not include discussion of certain other media of the misplaced and housebound varieties ;3

the power of the communist project is not that socialized medicine/free public transit/education/housing etc are actually more efficient and profitable if you do the math. it's in the story communism proposes: of a world unbound from the profit motive and its inequities, where people of all races, genders, and abilities possess equal unconditional dignity of life and labor within a society that exists by all of us, for all of us.

arguing anything less is a compromise to the fascists

there is no appeal to numbers and studies and "objectivity" that can stand up to a eugenicist's conviction in race science. you can't beat a terf fairytale by distributing spreadsheets. doing so accepts the bigot's frame, "no, actually--" it doesn't matter. you already let them win.

the fascist tells a false story with true ideological conviction; the liberal annotates those falsehoods and leaves ideology to the imagination. this approach has only ever strengthened the fascist's conviction

this post brought to you by a telegraph article making the rounds under emphatic declarations of "see? contrary to what the bigots say trans women actually suck at sports so you might as well let them in!"

hey how about we stop acting like scientific bigotry is rational. how about we stop pretending you can beat an emotional appeal with a double-blind study. either you believe trans people deserve to participate in society as themselves or you don't.

"transgender sportswomen at a disadvantage according to study" cool. they would deserve to play in women's sports even if they had an advantage. sports isn't about biology and neither is transphobia

your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away

you couldn't name a child "dick van dyke" today, because of woke

if you've been hungry for x-men stories that actually play with the social and political elements of the setting without losing their camp comic booky weirdness: hey. hey. this show is for you

i genuinely can't believe how good x-men 97 is
