Dino Grandi's successful vote ousts Mussolini in a historic session of the Grand Council of Fascism, experts say it's a massive win for Italian democracy

People who post AI slop should be treated the same as people who vote for Trump, say the N-word, and go into public crowded places maskless.

Even though Tyrell is a slave-owner and essentially a creator of a corrupt system, Batty’s method of killing him is framed as monstrous and atavistic. This choice aligns with the societal narrative because it frames the slave’s rebellion not as a struggle for rights, but as a beastly outburst of uncontrollable rage.

If Batty had let Deckard drop off the roof, the audience would likely view him as a cold, irredeemable villain. He is forced to perform an act of supreme, almost superhuman forgiveness to earn the audience's empathy. This is the ultimate proof of his othering: Deckard is allowed to be a flawed, brutal, morally compromised human, but Batty must become a transcendent, mythical martyr just to be deemed worthy of grief.

Furthermore, his speech does not describe the brutal, mechanistic reality of being a slave-soldier. Instead, he speaks of "attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion" and "C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate." This language is mythopoetic. It transforms his trauma into an exotic, mystical incantation. Much like the stereotypical depiction of a native chieftain recounting his tribe's lore to a white colonizer, Batty’s experiences are presented as beautiful but ultimately incomprehensible to the "civilized" protagonist. He is performing the role of the mystical Other, turning his mechanized enslavement into an exotic fairy tale that the audience is primed to consume as poetry.
