@socalledunitedstates @GreenandBlack who made the rules?
"oh, a guy who owns loads of sheets of paper that says he owns stuff"
hmmmm 
@RedFuture @CornishRepublicanArmy @GreenandBlack Finn the Human said fuck private property
@socalledunitedstates @CornishRepublicanArmy @GreenandBlack Remember that episode where jake used his economic power to make people do fucked up things and finn was just "I don't care if they technically consented, this is messed up"?
@RedFuture @socalledunitedstates @GreenandBlack Adventure time has some woke stuff in it at times. we need more vague leftist sentiment in fun animated shows...
@CornishRepublicanArmy @socalledunitedstates @GreenandBlack there's an entire series about anticolonialist magical space lesbians, even if Steven is a liberal about things other perspectives are at least considered
@CornishRepublicanArmy @RedFuture @GreenandBlack Give children straight-up Marxist philosophy but present it in such a way that their parents don't recognize it as socialism because they've never been allowed to know what socialism actually is
@socalledunitedstates @CornishRepublicanArmy @GreenandBlack Alright, let me bang out a few episodes of that podcast and then I'll get on the cartoon series....

@CornishRepublicanArmy @socalledunitedstates @GreenandBlack basically we need to take that far-right conspiracy theory about cultural marxism as a blueprint

"Hey kids you ever heard of a little something called... dialectical materialism?"
@Dayglochainsaw @CornishRepublicanArmy @socalledunitedstates @GreenandBlack an argument between two main characters, with the truth ending up in the middle, but with the positions presented well enough for kids to consider them and make up their own minds.
the positions are anarchism and marxism

I’ve seen gifs of the “the laws ain’t made to protect us” and “old days” section of this but I never watched Adventure Time so I didn’t know it was literally about someone else owning their house!
@UtOS @Dayglochainsaw @CornishRepublicanArmy @socalledunitedstates @GreenandBlack The yellow dog's son no less!
@UtOS @RedFuture @Dayglochainsaw @CornishRepublicanArmy @GreenandBlack Honestly I like Finn's lines more than Jake's. The whole "the strongest people got all the best stuff" concept has a grain of truth, but it's too reductive - though the part with the fence and the cop does reinforce Finn's point

@CornishRepublicanArmy @socalledunitedstates @GreenandBlack
Finn is an anarchist and Jake is a posadist
@Dayglochainsaw @CornishRepublicanArmy @socalledunitedstates @GreenandBlack Yet Finn hangs out with an absolute monarch!
Finn is a confused baby liberal, Jake is an insurrectionist, and banana guy is a posadaist
@RedFuture
@CornishRepublicanArmy @socalledunitedstates @GreenandBlack
Honestly, I would challenge princess bubblegum being a monarch. Yeah she's a "princess" but also she kind of created all the candy people? And she made them bc she needed someone to take care of so they literally can't survive without her? I feel like for someone to be a monarch you'd have to exert your rule onto a pre-existing population, and while princess bubblegum's thing is definitely weird and potentially morally sketchy, I think that might be more in the realm of ethics than politics
@RedFuture @CornishRepublicanArmy @socalledunitedstates @GreenandBlack
Banana guy is 100% a posadist though
@RedFuture @CornishRepublicanArmy @socalledunitedstates @GreenandBlack
Oh God I cracked a door open in my brain by saying this. Are the candy people even sentient? Are they just p-zombies? They were LITERALLY ZOMBIES in most of the first episode. Is it morally ok to rule something you created? Is ruling a kingdom just the way that a functionally immortal creature passes the time? Is princess bubblegum just a really scaled-up crazy cat lady?
@Dayglochainsaw @CornishRepublicanArmy @socalledunitedstates @GreenandBlack They rebel at times. And when she took time off, they didn't start dying - they were confused and had trouble organising themselves. They need to learn to be free by being free imo.
