      A few of them are true Captain Planet cartoon villains in their hearts (McConnel, MangoBastard), but for the most part yes.

        Every single member of Donald’s cabinet was comically evil. Like the sort of appointments that would happen in a comic book so that the reader knows for certain they are completely corrupt.

        I once heard someone try to say Captain Planet was actually harmful to discussions on environmentalism because it portrayed the “bad guys” aka oil barons, loggers etc. as physically deformed monster men who were cartoonishly Evil with a capital E, and people who watched the show as a child treat people who work at power plants or refineries or whatever as if they’re Just Evil and don’t have room to debate that stable grid power is exceptionally important.

        But no turns out they genuinely are physically deformed monster men who are cartoonishly Evil with a capital E.

      I’m yet to see a radical be against something and it not be because they hate themselves. Either they want others to suffer like them, or to struggle like they had to, or to not let the “unworthy” be more similar to them.

      • You can’t be gay! - probably closeted gay
      • you can’t work from home! - probably is a bad worker if noone is watching over them
      • You can’t abort! - probably did it themselves and regretted or are the result of a failed attempt
      • You can’t have x! - probably has x and doesn’t want others to be equal to them
      • You can’t use drugs! - probably uses drugs

        I’m pretty sure my mother, who is staunchly against abortion, is only against it because my grandmother offered to pay to abort me and my mother refused the offer and regrets it. She was 18 and her aunt then refused to pay for her college because she got knocked up. But you get what you get, and she got a gay son. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      The evidence is mounting. Pretty sure this has been researched by psychologists, does anyone know of a good book about this?
