It’s easy to roll one’s eyes as the self-serving dramatics of MAGA voters using false claims of victimhood as cover for their ugly views. But, as the threatening language in Greene’s tweet shows, this “woe is us” act is deeply dangerous. The hyperbolic conspiracy theories and dehumanizing language serve to convince Republican voters that religious liberty and democracy are simply values they can no longer afford to hold. The message is Christians are so “under siege” that the only way to fight back is by stripping everyone else of basic rights.
They’re pretty fucking dumb
I think a recent story I’ve heard recently and absolutely love is that Ben Shpiro (Super Genius!) tried to make a documentary called Lady Ballers. (Complete with the tagline - “The world of women’s sports is about to be TRANSformed!”
It was supposed to be about how trans people have ruined women’s sports, and they’ll straight up let men play if they claim to be trans! Juwanna Mann is real now!
To make this he hired a film crew and got together a team, then he tried to sign this team up but couldn’t find ANY female basketball league willing to sign his team. He kept hearing the same thing, that his “girls” needed documentation of being trans, needed to pass a blood test proving they were transitioning, needed to be on estradial for x number of years, etc.
HE EVEN ADMITS THIS IN INTERVIEWS ABOUT THE FUCKING MOVIE! So it’s not like this is some obscure trivia or something, he straight up confesses this is why it’s not a documentary as he originally intended.
But wait, he already hired the film crew and team, so in order to get his money back… It’s now a comedy about a coach who’s career was ruined by “Wokeness!”, so to get back he founds a Women’s Basketball team composed of men who just have to say they’re trans, and suddenly they can dominate and make millions!
The movie is downright terrible and is amazingly more misogynistic against ciswomen than it is transphobic. (It can’t even get which group that it’s trying to shit on right! See it’s a plot point that women are inferior to men, not just in sports, but in literally everything… The the point where it’s even “established science” that women are dumb and thus cannot thrive in anything unisex… I’m not joking, this is a point the movie actually makes, to the point where the lead character’s daughter desires to become male solely because she becomes aware of the inferiority, and the dad can’t say anything because he knows she’s right, that “Men are just better!”, I’m… honestly more impressed by this than the transphobia! But don’t worry, there’s PLENTY of that! This movie’s “jokes” are basically just saying the quiet part aloud and waiting for a laugh track)
We end Lady Ballers just as disgusting as it started. The lead’s best friend and one of the players, admits that while pretending to be a transwoman for the Lady Ballers team, he has found himself, or rather herself, realizing that she felt more at peace with herself while pretending to be a transwoman than while sincerely being a cisman… The lead character then punches his friend in the balls and walks way, hoping this will force said friend back into the closet… The post-credits “joke” is friend character seeing a “Woke Therapist” (played by a Jordan Peterson cameo) to “cater to his delusion” (How fucking mean-spirited can you get?)
But it doesn’t matter, because this movie, is the funniest god damn thing I’ve seen in years, not because the movie has a good joke… or is this masterpiece in spite of its transphobic nonsense…
But because the movie’s point is that “Women’s sports are being ruined by men and their unfair advantages”, but that point is blatantly debunked by its failure to go anywhere as a Documentary, as back then leagues kept demanding for PROOF that Ben’s dream team was trans and had been on hormones long enough to be on an even playing field with ciswomen: shooing him away when he didn’t fucking have any…
THE MOVIE’S EXISTENCE, IS THE BEST EVIDENCE AGAINST THE MOVIE’S PRIMARY POINT!
I’ve just never seen something like this, where an argument is self-refuted before it even says anything… That is a new level of fail and the best part is I’m sure Ben Shaprio was fully aware of that, but his dumbass already paid the film crew and actors, so he had to get the money back SOMEHOW!
THESE are the morons we’re dealing with, they’re not smart, clever, and given the chance they will defeat themselves… The problem is that there’s too god damn many of them and they’ll cause too much damage while we’re waiting for them to self-pwn.
So what’s the solution? I don’t fucking know at this point, but when the world becomes a mad house, you have no choice but to laugh along with the other inmates before you go crazy I guess.
Remember when the flat earthers made a documentary to prove their theory, but by using their OWN SCIENCE they proved its round? Lmao
I do, but this tops that…
The documentary ended on screwing up its own point, Ben Shaprio disproved his comedy movie’s argument before he even wrote the script, yet did it anyway.
