(135,425 posts)Wow, did you hit THAT nail hard on the head!!!
Between the cheerleading for the Boligarchs and the Yeehawing (despite the despair of the masses) in "Cuba Libre" I know what you mean....and of course, if you dare point that out, they automatically revert to the "Oh you must be a supporter of (name an enemy of the regime in question)."
They never consider that a person might not like ANY of it, and find that it does, indeed, fuck over the "women and the pooor who never make it to the media."
They never get to the nuanced discussions, where it's not a question of "teams" or "sides" or if you love X you must hate Y--or vice versa. Sometimes, it all sucks--but try getting to that kind of conversation here--the minefields are just too many!
