Birth of a Nation is a misunderstood film, IMO, depiction is not endorsement, and DW Griffith's contributions to cinematography shouldn't be overshadowed by the fact that some people decided to interpret his film as supporting controversial political agendas.

Wait, I just found some clips online.
That's... look, I'll take Griffith at his word that he wasn't trying to seem borderline-fanatically bigoted, but really man; this could have used a second draft.

Yes, I can see why people thought he was promoting intolerance here.

Was it just impossible to find mixed-race extras back then? All of these half-breed northern soldiers are played by white actors in makeup!

Huh. The film's treatment of Lincoln is surprisingly sympathetic. I think I can see what Griffith was going for, but some of the choices he made really detract from the more nuanced ideas he wanted to put across (why do the black characters speak like that?)

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"
Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

the democratic response to the SOTU should start with “is Donald Trump a pedophile?” and from there be entirely about the files

I know this is like, “eww squick” it wouldn’t hurt me, but this basically bans the first episode of Game of Thrones, a significant amount of Greek mythology, and every open fanfiction website on the planet. And I wouldn’t trust an authoritarian govt with “nuance” about what is art and what is porn.

like. i am frequently "a trans woman with facial hair", but that doesn't mean a beard, that means i'm in that awkward spot where if i shave again im going to fuck my face up, where realistically barely anyone will even notice but I'LL notice and feel like shit about it.
