idiot A makes a fictional reference, idiot B replies in the same mode, and then idiot A attacks the concept of using fictional references
We’re reaching levels of simulacrum never thought possible!
Very appropriate that Leslie Knope is doing absolutely nothing to oppose or halt the pogrom
Leslie Knope starts up a blue ribbon committee to determine the most viable method by which to gently scold the people who are opposed to genocide
Andy shows up with his thirty kids in a cage on the roof of his old minivan and then immediately plows into the oldest tree in Pawnee

Getting Americans to understand politics, but instead of burger it’s pop culture figures from 15+ year old sitcoms/media
Sitcoms written by neoliberals who have never known injustice in their coddled lives writing a world where Neoliberalism is a kooky funny little side adventure that doesnt turn people into bloodied mulch? Gosh, i shall make this my entire personality
That moment of white collar workplace comedies concentrated around peak neoliberal triumphalism let’s say mid late 90s is just vile for me.

Everything must be compared to fiction and never reality, for reality is arcane and unknowable, except through comparing it to fictional works, except when that would make a lib lose an argument, then it is the height of foolishness for someone to compare fiction and reality, even when you were literally just doing that yourself 5 seconds ago. Object permanence is an obstacle to winning online arguments.
