@mycorrhiza yeah i think “party identity” is definitely an interesting word choice on the part of this op-ed writer; i think actually what people are increasingly polarized regarding is the question of “where do we go from capitalism?” (with answers including socialism, fascism, etc) and Americans have just learned to speak about those opinions through proxy of a Democrat/Republican divide
i didn’t check the survey they were citing (if they did cite one…) to see what actual terms it used [but there are plenty of surveys right now showing that many people believe neither party deserves control of Congress, so stating that Americans have strong allegiance to “party identity” in that context is definitely baffling]
politics is a dialectic between differences and i for one embrace those differences shifting from what they were in 1992

@aescling @coriander p.s. i have it if we want to do a Viewing in the discord server
@coriander honestly the only Miyazaki films which i really consider Culturally Significant are Nausicaä and Mononoke and personally i think Nausicaä says it better; it's the one where i’m like “yeah this movie will change how you think about art if you let it”
(there are other Culturally Significant Ghibli films but they have different directors)
@aescling Princess Kushana
• it’s got science going too far
• it’s got body horror
• it’s got strange and powerful creatures beyond human comprehension
• it’s got an invisible yet deadly and pervasive illness
• it’s got people being constant fuckups as they attempt to enact their petty politics in a world they do not control or understand
• it’s got an incredibly hot yet morally ambiguous lesbian
every time i try to read gothic fiction i am just like “why isn’t this Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind”
