Yeah I guess ban and boycott mean different things to me, but you're right. Functionally this is a boycott and I support boycotting this movie. Fair point.

Mein Kampf actually isn't banned in the US or most of the world. It's banned in Germany for obvious reasons.

Banning books, like banning movies, is a great way to admit publicly that your position is so weak you can't tolerate any dissent. Let the power of your ideals stand on their own.

Edit: ok I'm going to leave this up here because I'm a masochist, but ok I get it. I'm with you guys. Boycott Gal Godot. Ban is functionally a boycott. In the US, this movie would never get banned, but I would 100% boycott it. I didn't fully think this through and I agree with most of you guys.

While I have no interest in this movie and I think Gal Godot sucks, banning movies is akin to banning books.

Lol humanity existed before oligarchs and kings.

Yeah that's the biggest problem is I can't guarantee the revolution would be leftist or that the emerging system would be better than our current system. We need to build a leadership system now.

No war but the class war. Everyone you disagree with is an ally in waiting except billionaires.

Tbh I think the Republicans get us closer to revolution than the Democrats do. I think the only way out is to break the system.

But every single mainstream Democrat is just as fascist outside of the US as the Republicans. They proved that when they didn't do anything about a genocide. They are also increasingly fascistic in the US as they demonstrated by being better at deportations than the Republicans. (Also, regularly breaking with Democrat voters to side with MAGA in Congress/Senate).

The Democrats are the same team as the Republicans, they just use different language.

I wasn't aware that there was a thousand year ban on eating pussy.
