  • I was actually referring to his campaign before he obtained the Infinity Stones to enact his “final solution”. He references it in Infinity war when talking to his “daughter” trying to make her see his way by telling her that her home planet had become a “paradise where no child goes hungry”.


  • We as a species, at this very moment in time, have the physical and technological capability to feed every man woman and child on the planet, yet there’s somehow not enough food to feed all people and groceries are more expensive than they were 100 years ago. In terms of shear volume, you can stack all of humanity in one small corner of the grand canyon but “there’s not enough room for people to live in a home.” yet millions of houses and apartments stand empty as placeholders for equity and investment.

    Scarcity is a choice, not a fact of existence. Stop buying the propaganda.



  • It is widely understood that Thanos was insane. Resources aren’t naturally limited and his campaign of slaughtering half the populations of planets didn’t ensure plenty for the masses. What he accomplished was to teach otherwise isolated civilizations that unless they put aside their differences and worked together they were vulnerable to devastating attack.

    The only scarcity there is or ever has been is artificially created by either ineptitude or purposeful in order to prop up the wealthy who are given ownership of land and resources.

    If he truly wish for a prosperous universe he would have snapped those fingers and installed the knowledge to create a post scarcity society on every planet with intelligent life in all beings. Because with all things the answer is EDUCATION NOT DEATH.



  • I don’t think you understand what a narcissist is. And in the story, in literally every story about Supergirl, her family, her friends, everyone she ever knew, died horribly in front of her and she ends up surviving. There is such a thing as survivors guilt and it is pretty brutal.

    But hey, feel free to be pissed that it isn’t a clone of the Superman movie but with a girl.




  • No, I don’t think that is why. There have been much more depressing times in the past and those were just as colorful as any other time. I think the thing that has most influenced the color palette of millennials, or rather the lack of, is the rise of the internet and social media. People don’t want to stand out and be mocked for being different. Especially in a climate where being different can actually cost you quite a bit. I believe this is especially true of interior decorators and designers who often set the trends for people to use.

    There’s also something to be said for an extreme backlash to the home makeover shows that were all the rage back in the late aughts. I think a lot of people still have trauma from the “experimental” bullshit that some of those designers did to their “clients” all in the name of chasing ratings.
