This was back when I tried to get PugJesus to try to understand how deeply unserious they were, and generally tried to appear less threatening to liberals to hopefully lead some to question liberalism or even read theory
(Spoiler: it didn’t work)
Specifically, it was in reference to Lemmy.world becoming more and more right-wing as the target boogeyman shifts from more overt to less overt leftism, especially since ml removed leftist from its description.
Kinda funny seeing it up there now that I’ve made a Hexbear account
Mad Max’s lore is kind of weird because Miller retconned some of it by referencing modern current era tech and politicians in Fury Road which sort of broke the movies into a soft reboot of sorts, but I’m fan-brained and am sticking to the tall tale/unreliable narrative angle that shoehorns the new movies into the older ones. The main historical lore of oil crisis > resource crisis > law and order breaking down still works. Just gotta squint at some of the stuff like Immortan Joe using more modern circuitry for his breathing machine and such or that Tom Hardy’s version of Mad Max is supposed to be in his 70s or early 80s. The age thing can also be marked up to tall tale/unreliable narrative too. Basically the History Men might be retelling the tale and they don’t have all their info correct. /ramble
I always saw the concept framed by others as a campfire, folk-hero tale.
Yeah that’s the angle I’ve adopted too. It makes it all fit together easier without having to finagle too much.
