Hexbears: READ ANOTHER BOOK

This post:

Hexbears: NOT LIKE THAT

[–] underwire212@lemm.ee 19 points 1 day ago

I’ll take “books I’ve never read” for 500 please

Brave new world + A Handmaids Tale = Brazil

What do they have against Brazil smh 😭

[–] Formerlyfarman@hexbear.net 9 points 22 hours ago

It's a classic movie. Directed by the same guy who directed the Monty python movies and 12 monkeys. Robert de niro plays a side character who is an unlicenced air conditioning repairman, and is wanted for terrorism because of that.

Allegedly it's a movie, and not just making fun of bolso-joker

I refuse to acknowledge that though

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 14 hours ago

It's a really good movie. Big recommend

Broke: Project 2025 will be like Nineteen Eighty Four

Woke: Project 2025 will be like A Handmaid's Tale

Bespoke: Project 2025 will be like Logan's Run

What's next, fucking Zardoz?

I've posted this before but

Ray Bradbury has come out to say Farenheit 451 is actually about the dangers of TV addiction. On multiple occasions.

There's a time where he gave a lecture at UCLA and a student insisted to Bradbury's face that he was wrong about the book he wrote and so Bradbury walked out. Death of the author, yada yada yada.

The moral of the story is that TV is going to kill literature and turn people into smooth brained zombies who can't/won't accept the higher medium of the written word, so they made it illegal.

'I've posted this before but

Gay Bradbury kelly

Love how the libs discovered Project 2025 approximately 4 months ago and are suddenly up in arms like “Evangelicals gaining power and trying to force Christofascism on the masses?!?! THIS IS THE FIRST WE ARE HEARING OF THIS!!!!”

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wait until they find out about Reagan

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

Wait until they find out about Eisenhower and Billy Graham

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is Project 2025 something that the actual incoming government is using as a blueprint because anyone who mentions it seriously is either a lib trying to scaremonger about a policy Biden has already de facto implemented, or a crank conservative twitter personality trying to milk liberal rage for content.

Like, the "Project 2025 is actually gonna happen now" articles I've seen are all quoting people like the Babylon Bee guy lmao.

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

The campaign says it is: https://www.newsweek.com/maga-project-2025-agenda-1981975

Conservatives have been associated with The Heritage Foundation for years, it's only now that the Democrats decided to market that as their campaign to ~~vote for them~~ not vote for Trump

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

Is Project 2025 something that the actual incoming government is using as a blueprint

to oversimplify, mostly yes

[–] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Libs doing the most superficial political analysis ever, Part #41018:

Here we have "Thing A and Thing B are the same", represented in a graphic. Coulda spent the time making that by articulating an idea, but no.

This is just a more complex version of "Drumpf is Voldemort"

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

But where does Harry Potter fit into all of this?

[–] Lemister@hexbear.net 5 points 23 hours ago

Well Drumpfemord and his Death Eaters will implement all those fictional works as policy!

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago

Harry Potter is the only hope against such a diagram of unrelated Dystopia fictions!

~~Read another book~~ Read a non-fiction book

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 51 points 1 day ago (2 children)

There's something really amusing about all of these being works of fiction.

finally, someone who sees through the bullshit lie known as "Brazil"

EDIT: okay so apparently Brazil is a movie as well as a country. I just assumed whoever made this was dunking on the entire nation of Brazil

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm more amazed Harry Potter wasn't worked in there

omg project 2025 is just like the bad guy in the new marvel movie libbing-out

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago

They should have made Thor and The Hulk their own buddy duo after Ragnarok (one of rhe few not guardians marvel slops I've seen) and just went around space and sometimes earth bashing the hell out of shitty people.

'Hey The Incredible Hulk, there's no Asgard and clearly outer space is bullshit. I've got a hammer that smashes good...'

"HULK SMASH!"

"Exactly, so let's just smash stuff we don't like seeing not smashed. We can call ourselves the Super Smash Brothers!"

Completely unrelated to the content of the post, but this is not a Venn diagram.

https://math.gmu.edu/~eobrien/Venn4.html

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

It's possibly an Euler diagram though

This makes me hate venn diagrams less. Thanks.

what no materialism does to a mfer

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago

As well as having never read high school level books

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 38 points 1 day ago (8 children)

So much of this makes no sense. How the fuck is lord of the flies a cross section between 1984, animal farm and faremheight 451, which also makes it Logan's run if you add Animal Farm to Logans Run? I've read/seen all of these and there isn't any commonality here

[–] Frivolous_Beatnik@hexbear.net 30 points 1 day ago (6 children)

I'm more stumped by Handmaid's Tale + Brave New World = Brazil centrist

lord of the flies was about a one-party state with mass surveillance and omnipresent propaganda, where all books were burned, and it's theocratical and any women that can bear children are forced to do so. that's what happened in the book about boys on an island

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Imagine a kid saying "sucks to your as-mar!" To a human face again and again and again

[–] Krem@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

if you take thebasic premise of Lord of the flies, but replace Big brother and surveillance with genetic caste society and consumerist hedonism, you get The Matrix

Soylent green is about literally eating human flesh. I don’t think that’s on the Heritage Foundations list

[–] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Winston was a reactionary with SA fantasies. The party does nothing wrong by non lethally purging and re-educating him in 1984

[–] Alisu@hexbear.net 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What do this people have against Brasil?

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 23 points 1 day ago

It's Brazil they have a problem with.

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago

Holy vibes batman

[–] Frivolous_Beatnik@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Aside, if people haven't seen Brazil it is quite good. You probably already know it from the soundtrack
