yep I agree she has a long-term game plan - but the question is will it serve her at the expense of everyone else on the planet? I'm worried she's a kind of Ayn Rand figure, if Ayn Rand was smart, and the fall of the dominoes is going to be worse than Homelander

2024-06-21 19:08:07 +0000 UTCI would like to THINK that Sage has a long-game plan in place that we (and Homeslander) aren't seeing... she is putting final dominoes in place that won't fall until much later that will bring the whole thing down. (Assuming that she actually IS the smartest human on the planet of course.)

2024-06-21 02:42:53 +0000 UTCWhat? U mean to tell me a progressive movement gets either co-opted or infiltrated by the establishment (the police, CIA, FBI, or just fascist militias outside agitators) in order to discredit the entire movement as violent and unreasonable? classic, tale as old as time, I remember a Livestream of the students protests at UCLA that caught a clearly undercover cop among the students, I am sure it happened with BLM too, now of course liberal media is gonna cry about the need to denounce direct actions and "offensive slogans" and for all sides to just hold hands and sing kumbaya while the cops crack down on future protests, honestly the only unbelievable part of this episode is that cops were restraining both sides, u know that never happens, they would only be beating down on the starlight protests and any anti-fascists who actually pose a threat to the establishment and the states quo, I am interested in how this show will end, I think it's probably gonna end happily with the boys winning and fascism losing which is of course unrealistic but it's better to have hope at least in fiction where people escape real life, in reality of course it's very difficult to beat fascism coz they have the police, the military and the entire political establishment, there's no rag tag team of saviors rebels with supes to save the planet, every effort to organize gets crushed by the state weaponizing both the police (the violent arm of the state) that is more and more militarized and with the extremely far right judiciary branch, wether it's the supreme court or state courts, it's all rigged towards fascism and union busting and crushing any labor movement or solidarity, very depressing reality indeed
