Yeah, that point I can’t explain either. Fair point.
My ND brain thrives on textual analysis and re-analysis, but picking up on why certain phrasing resonates? Not as simple.
If I could figure that out, maybe I could have been a successful writer, lol.

Or, actually, as it’s framed in the movie, maybe more like “I deserve healthy balanced meals, but things are so stressed and fucked right now, I NEED a pint of ice cream and whiskey.”

Well, I think without context, it’s closer to tautology, yes.
But, still the difference between “deserve” and “need.” I deserve ice cream, but need vegetables.

It’s not just Batman, within movie context.
Dent is the “need.” Handsome and incorruptible. A fairy tale, even if he ultimately failed.
Batman is the “deserve.” Violent, brutal, but uncorrupted.
Batman isn’t the Dent ideal, so he’s not what Gotham needs.
They deserve justice, but need the lie.

Gotham is twisted and corrupted, it deserves someone like Batman. But, in the midst of Joker caused chaos, they need an ideal, a pure image like Harvey Dent.
Part of this scene is also about concealing Two Face, concealing Dent’s fall from grace.
They need a fairy tale, even if they deserve truth.

The original line is “deserves, but not needs,” swapped around from this paraphrase.
But, in context, the point is Gotham deserves Batman (dark, shadowy, but honestly heroic), but pre-Two Face Harvey Dent is what Gotham needs (pure seeming white knight beacon of hope).
Two diff types of hero.

It’s also oscillating around his first term approval, implying that might be his diehard core base. In both terms, he dropped to around the same numbers.

Fair enough.
Just the "don't give away the secret" sincerity is so frustrating. People realizing basic concepts and thinking they've uncovered super secret ninja tactics. It's very tiring.

You’re not the first to say it. It’s actually been a common point before.
You can chill. It being mentioned here doesn’t destroy the tactic. You weren’t keeping an amazing secret.
We’re all in this together. You’re not the sole defender heroically standing on the walls. Be cool and work together.

I have a feeling that the compromise is more likely a “reconciliation committee” after this has been dragged out over and over, letting people die for political convenience, before it’s done.

Point is, imagining language as some pure artifact, and words like “Latinx” as engineering, is ahistorical and flawed, based on some glorified conception of the past.
Reality is different.

Or look up William Caxton’s anecdote about “egges” and “eyren,” and from that, why “eggs” is our word for that. Choices made, and those choices reflect the intent and interests of the chooser. Not “reflecting society.”

As Samuel Johnson said, he created “a dictionary by which the pronunciation of our language may be fixed, and its attainment facilitated; by which its purity may be preserved.” But he made choices about which pronunciation he made fixed, what was the purity to preserve.

Okay, so imagine we don’t have standardized spelling, and I write a dictionary, basing all the spellings on New York pronunciation. That’s not reflecting “society.” That’s reflecting my opinion on “proper” English, and “changing” society towards that form.
Right or wrong, it’s not new.

And you thinking codifying standardized spelling to emphasize one region’s pronunciation isn’t an intent to engineer society? Making one dialect the “proper” one?
I don’t think you fully understand social engineering.

Heck, vast swaths of English spelling were defined by a handful of men. And, in doing so, they very often selectively picked certain accents to codify. Or even added silent letters based on their (incorrect) etymological assumptions.

Used to go to his shows, 20-something years ago. Little venues in Chicago with cheap beer, great acoustics, and people bouncing around, shout-singing along.
He was actually pretty popular on local radio. Not huge, but in regular rotation.
