Yeah again, F&TWS wants to try to insist that Real World Issues are more significant in a world where they are thoroughly obsolete.

While disguising one as the other with a kind of shrug. I think they're going for making fantasy issues FEEL like real issues, in terms of tone and process, but without actually doing anything.

Like, whatever realistic-scale issues are being pushed by Karli, there's the really strange aspect that nobody seems to care except her group; everyone else is sort of perplexed by their very existence.

In order to be truly sympathetic to Karl's position you have to be someone whose life was already pretty fucking bad before the Snap - someone so marginalized and isolated you didn't personally lose anyone whose return could possibly make the Unsnap worth it to you

Honestly? A friend of mine says they're basically a lefty QAnon and that's basically accurate. And her whole Eulogy to Mamma Donya doesn't say "sympathetic loss," it says "Second-generation radicalized cultist." Seriously: fuck Karli.

Like she says it herself: she believes nobody else will stick up for her group (because she and her friends are thoroughly radicalized and cut off from normal society in that creepy cultist subculture-y way), so she doesn't value anyone outside it.

Yeah, but also it's a group with millions and millions of members across the world, including like, half the people in central park, none of whom seem to be in particularly rough shape.

Like I said, shades of QAnon. Also let's be real here: Karli's group offers a bunch of people a gamified way to smash some shit and feel good, and we all know plenty of people for whom that's a big draw. It's like the dark side of Activist Twitter turned murderous.

I mean if I got the super-soldier serum I'd smash some shit too

You'd probably be even MORE into smashing given it's implied repeatedly this shitty homemade cargo cult Serum gives people violent impulses

Erskine gave this warning about the original formula too though He rejects a dude from consideration who's very much the 1940s version of John Walker and says he doesn't want a perfect soldier but a good man, someone who hasn't devoted his life to violence

The main difference between the new serum and the old one is this one doesn't make any obvious physical changes to your body Because they didn't want to have to repeat the skinny-Steve CGI transformation for every new character
