    Scar from The Lion King.

    Mufasa says that the lions keep the system in balance, but the system he’s describing is an absolute monarchy based on male primogeniture, with him and his family at the top. As the main beneficiary of the system, he’s not a reliable source of information.

    We see that not only the supposedly ‘bad’ hyenas but also ‘good’ characters like Timon and Pumba are outcasts forced to live off scraps, so clearly the system isn’t benefitting everyone, despite what we hear from Mufasa’s propaganda. We also know that, in fact, lions eat other animals, including the kinds shown bowing down to them at the beginning and end of the film. We never hear from these animals, but logic suggests that they’re bowing as much out of fear as fealty.

    Now, granted, Scar’s revolution doesn’t work out too well, given the famine that ensues, but he was at least trying for a more equitable distribution of resources than under Mufasa’s tyrannical reign.

    Rhas al Ghul is the original longtermism.

    I think that philosophy, in it’s current techbro incarnation, is pretty… Dumb, but the way rhas talks about it, it kinda makes sense.

      I think Thanos had the right motives and goal (in the movies - I havnt read any comics) but his plan to get there wasn’t great. Even assuming removing half of the consuming population is the best solution available (if you can completely alter all of reality why not just make more or infinite resources?), his plan to just randomly select half the population, delete them, and leave them in their loved ones memories is overtly torturous and malicious to everyone in society. He could have taken more care in the selection process instead of just taking at random, or he could have altered people’s memories so they didn’t feel the loss.

      Thanos is complete idiot. Life is the primary resource on which other life relies. Destroying half of all life in the universe is also destroying half the universe’s resources, accomplishing absolutely nothing.

    The leader of the replicants in Blade Runner.

    If I’m not mistaken he’s only killed and attacked in self defense. He just wants to live.

    Disclaimer: I don’t directly watch drag race US I just watch clips and talkbacks online bc I love the queens but hate the manufactured drama.

    Anyway, there are on season villains that I gravitate towards:

    Phi Phi O’Hara. Definitely was in the right when it came to her spat with Alyssa, and the spooky one maybe should’ve stayed in Party City.

    Most people view The Vixen on the show as mostly right. Off the show she’s more controversial.

    Rajah O’Hara, I also wasn’t gagging.

    I kind of agreed with Brita Filter up till the bitter end. But I’m kind of a delusional Brita fan.

    I’m also a delusional Kandy Muse stan. Let her be arrogant! And she mopped the floor with Tamisha.

    I also tend to feel sorry for unintentional delusional edit queens like Jan, Loosey LaDuca, and Thorgy Thor.
