I've worked as a screenwriter, a producer, and a TV exec, and some of the most common friction points between those roles come from simple miscommunication. I'm gonna pin this and add to it as I go. Hopefully it'll be helpful!

Calling out a fascist for taking a hypocritical position is easy. It's also a complete waste of time. Fascist rhetoric is aesthetics— pathos, never logos.
You'll never get anywhere pointing out a fascist's hypocrisy. Fascism is not to be debated, it's to be smashed. Get comfortable using power.

Hey guys. Thanks for all this gold. But I think I'm allergic to either the frankincense or the myrrh.

Happy birthday (observed) to the middle-eastern Jew who thought we should love our enemies, heal the sick for free, and give all of our money to poor people.

The people who are really eager for a civil war to get rid of all the “mud people, fags, and nerds” are too dumb to realize this: we can decide to be violent but they can’t decide to be smart
every time I can recall from history that a group has centered a culture of martial virtue to the point of conflict,
the "soft intellectuals" the warriors distinguish themselves from have learned war real quick, dominate because they pay attention to details, and then go back to art and nerdy stuff

So I'm trying to figure out ... Is Santa Claus a socialist, or more of a Big-Brother fascist?

What happens if a naughty child asks for a lump of coal in his stocking? Does that infinite regression destroy Santa's positronic brain?

I’m comfortable with the idea of being gender-fluid, and from that I can extrapolate the meaning of gender-solid.
But according to the immutable laws of Newtonian physics, that implies the existence of gender-gas.
