Matt BlazeI live in a country, ostensibly run by adults, where a major political party can't decide whether it's Mickey Mouse or Barbie that poses the greater threat.
We have nuclear weapons, by the way.
Takaya@mattblaze these same people have a non-zero chance of controlling their useโฆ
Renee DiResta@mattblaze ironically they will hate Oppenheimer too. Inconvenient history of political railroading of experts by power-hungry politicians is very prominent in that film.
Andrew "Harris/? 2024" Glisson@Noupside @mattblaze Commie to the right of them
Commie to the left of them
Commie behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd.

Aviva Gary@mattblaze LOL! I love this timeline... don't you love this timeline... this is the best timeline ๐
(I wish you were wrong, I wish this wasn't a thing but we don't get nice things...)
curtosis@mattblaze And zero self-awareness when critiquing the โsanityโ of other countries who seek to acquire them.
Raphael@mattblaze Not to mention that you're part of a global economy in which two of the richest and best-known businessmen are, at this moment, preparing for a public physical fight against each other.
@mattblaze Another note: I'm old enough to remember when left-wingers around the world saw both Mickey Mouse and Barbie as symbols of everything wrong with US capitalism, US consumerism, and US mass culture. I don't think they ever got nearly as ridiculous about it as the global right-wing is getting now, though.
Kevin RussellI guess you will enjoy Barbie when you see it.
mx alex tax1a - 2020 (6)@mattblaze and yet the answer is actually "Oppenheimer"

subcontext of "major political party" hits different if there are 20 of them, or just 2

WaterluvianI know what is said and known about Disneyโs ties to Nazism, but Klaus Barbie is clearly the greater threat.
xanatax ๐ฐ@mattblaze โฆ โWe have nuclear weapons, by the way.โ
โฆ and, we will forever remember Barbenheimerโs dedicaded hard work & leadership on the Manhattan Project! ๐
My Profile@mattblaze I would argue Mickey Mouse for sure
@mattblaze wait never mind
TotallyObvious ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐บ๐ฆ๐ต๐ธ@mattblaze don't forget about rainbows and books, super dangerous.
Norman Wilson@mattblaze I'd suggest you move up here but one of our parties has gone that way too. I'm hoping the next election shows them the folly of their direction, but not confidently.
@mattblaze On the other hand, we have three national parties plus one that exists only in Quebec but has seats in Parliament, so the folly isn't nearly as popular here yet.
CT Chicken Man@mattblaze Me too Matt. Me too.
แฒแฉแแฝแธแฟแแฟแฒแขแผแฉSแปYou've heard of the Executive Branch, the Legistlative Branch, and the Judicial Branch?
aethervision@mattblaze Thatโs been true for a while now, itโs just that for most of that time it was the left railing against Barbie and Bud Light as symbols of continued gender stereotypes (Math is hard) and corporate mediocracy because welcome to the 21st century.
@mattblaze Last year it was Mr. Potato Head's genitals...
Perhaps Barbie and Minnie Mouse could discuss?
OtownKim@mattblaze Sounds like An Onion headline but it's reality ๐
Greg Stolze@mattblaze Hey now, the important thing is that the GOP has given up entirely on solving school shootings. #priorities

John Breen@mattblaze Don't forget Drag Queens.
Prof Prachi SrivastavaOne to increase efficiencies wherever I can, I propose in the next film for Barbie to enter into an open relationship with Ken and invite Mickey Mouse.
JohnMashey@mattblaze
However, the same political party seemed to think Joe Camel was just fine. (3 years after introduction, Joe was as recognizable to 6-year-olds as Mickey Mouse ... now that's MARKETING.)

Amo a Sam amat@mattblaze I live in a country where neither major party thinks that management consulting firms are fucking thieves.
And neither thinks that PWC, Deloitte et al should have their assets seized and nationalized.
And, yes, one of these parties even says 'Only we are on the side of the #workers'.

FeedMe Doughnuts@mattblaze uk run by a out of touch billionaire who is afraid of lettuce. Canada run by a clown. Yeah. Needs help.
Eis Comics (Vic)@mattblaze adults only by physical age, though.
Tim Magee@mattblaze Here in the UK the same cast of people are terrified of small boats. I reckon that with an original print of Tugboat Mickey I could secure the surrender of both the UK and USA by teatime (EST).
climate voter/radical oldie@mattblaze Clearly, Barbie, because she is real.
