He took middle a bit too literally given that it is near impossible to be true middle, especially when many social issues will put people firmly on one side or the other.
How other posters see you on the political scale is all relative to where they are on the scale. Most posters see themselves closer to middle than posters will see them that are on the other side of the scale. I've seen a few conservative posters claim to be middle that from a liberal perspective they are not even close.
Plenty of movies today use the N word. Personally, I think it’s the constant jokes about rape that you’d have a tough time with today. I see both as pure shock comedy and Blazing Saddles is in my top 3 comedies of all time.
You missed a couple
Star Trek Into Darkness (Woke): "[T]he film has several anti-War on Terror messages."
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Conservative): "Makes this list because of a hilarious, anti-mask scene in which the actor Richard Dreyfuss is riding on a bus where everyone is complying with a government order to wear a mask, whereupon he rips off his mask and declares that there is nothing wrong with the air."
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Woke): "Although the film does depict the Communists as bad guys (to such an extent that the Russian Communist Party in Moscow was angered by the decision), and implies that Indiana Jones is a Republican or at the very least an Dwight D. Eisenhower fan, the film also depicts McCarthyism in a negative light, with one character implying that the American Government was simply being paranoid and denies there being a sizeable Communist infiltration in America."
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (Conservative): "During the Great Depression, archaeologist and adventurer Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones searches the world for artifacts of untold power and, along the way, combats some of America's most infamous enemies, in particular Nazis. The first and third films contain Christian themes since they are centered around the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail respectively, while the second film condemns paganism due to its main villain being a pagan priest."
Being anti-Nazi these days actually seems to be on the woke side, amazingly
Being left of some on the board isn't what makes a poster left. Everyone knows where they fall. To claim otherwise when you are blatantly one direct or the other is stupid and undermines any credibility you are looking to build.
