I built Agitate in part to help us avoid thinking a handful of loudmouths on the internet are in anyway representative. Had the hysterics made their case there rather than being artificially amplified on X, it would have likely been clear they were in a tiny niche minority and ignored.

I don’t even particularly want to see it, but feel like I have to buy tickets to put a finger in the eye of the racists.

Did you ever see a Christopher Nolan film before? I predict you won't be disappointed.

Yes. They are fine. Enjoyed Oppenheimer. Just not much into “mythic fantasy.”

MAGAs were having a fit because Helen of Troy (supposed to be the world's most beautiful woman) is played by Lupita Nyong'o. As if a Black woman can't be beautiful. Not to mention, North Africa is a stone's throw from Greece, so anyone from Troy could have been Black.
