People have the ability to contexualize. Revolutions have been won by people who believe a god controls everything. They still found the motivation to act with a group of humans for their material needs.

Your problem is one of priority. I agree these things aren't material, but it truly matters so little. Astrologists still protest, christians still read marx.

I think you should analyze why these specific beliefs cause you so much anger that you call your comrades on this forum idiots.

You can make all of the same points about tv, video games, movies, fiction books, playing sports, religion, and on and on. Why is the distraction more associated with women the one you think needs called out?

You know there is like history and real life and stuff that happened prior to the invasion right? Like you don't have to guess or speculate or make up fan theories? Like you can just like read and find out why.

This feigned "who could possibly know" attitude is baffling. Just like look it up

I'm always afraid to recommend it because I've never heard anyone talk about it- but I would recommend Station Eleven. Its post-apocalyptic after a covid-like disease. But unlike every other apocalyptic media it has so much love for people. It has some very sad moments but it's so wholesome. And I loved their little traveling commune.

Think it's the only movie I've ever seen whose message is essentially - violence in the hands of the poor can be used to justly end oppression by the wealthy. Nobody got slapped down by karma for using violence. Multiple communities helped him to do violence without us being made to feel mixed about those communities or about that violence. No, the violence from the very beginning is explicitly justified and your are only made to feel even more on his side as the movie goes on.

And then just the cinematography and general quality of the movie was incredible. Absolutely loved it
