Crucible [he/him, comrade/them]

Could it be that the people writing the story were pastoral and viewed agrarians negatively? No, God personally told me that it’s set up for a marvel movie show down

they’d make themselves look dumb for pedantry

That’s all that libs have in their arsenal

The lottery is a tax on hope

I cannot tell you how badly I want to watch an aircraft carrier sink

He’d need context: How many bolts of linen can you get for $80 these days

In the audio commentary of the pilot episode (it’s been 10,000 years so might be a different episode) Whedon talks about the war being space US Civil War and Mal is inspired by the confederate soldiers who went west after the war because the inner planets = manufacturing power and center of government like the north, and outer planets = agrarians who are having their ‘rights’ trampled like the south. Obviously it’s a prime time show from 2001 written entirely by white people so there’s no discussion of slavery, the closest it gets is one episode does feature an outer planet guy who ‘owns’ people via their debts to him

Very nice of the users over there to explain this to him over and over, and over, and over, and over, maybe eventually he’ll get it
