Something scary about the hagiography of Kirk is that people who aren't terminally online or who otherwise didn't pay him much attention will now seek out his videos and other content and become radicalized precisely because they are being told he practiced politics "the right way." Dark stuff.

Very much worth reading, not least because the surface-level nonsense that made Civil War subject to so much mockery before it was even released (trust me, my Americans friends laughed at that map *so fucking hard*) often distracted from what a cowardly nothing of a movie it actually was.
alright, this one's going to ruffle some feathers. i wrote about how we're in the midst of a crisis of movies that don't actually say anything, with Alex Garland's Civil War standing in as the key example:
