There's a Yiddish saying: "If hard work were so great, the rich would have kept it for themselves."

That's not a baby gremlin. It's a baby Mogwai. And, for the record, "Mogwai" is the Cantonese pronunciation of 魔鬼 (Mandarin "mogui"), which means a demon. So kiss away... and see you in Hell! 😂

Maybe you need to reflect not only on why you block people but why so many are saying those things.

The first was so bad, I didn't bother with the others. Apparently the misogyny and xenophobia are toned down in translation.

Not a lot of authoritarian sci-fi blowing up all over publishing and streaming tv, just that one ubiquitous Chinese story, so I'm gonna say you kind of don't really get the point.

I saw a Franklin scholar who thinks it's amazing and that Douglas captures him. Vanity Fair didn't like it. So.... I'm gonna watch it. But I am waiting for the whole thing to binge it. (Still waiting for Shōgun & Manhunt to finish as well...)

It's a revenge fantasy. And in all revenge fantasies the protagonist/audience have "all the facts," so they can work as judge, jury, and executioner. Abrahamic apocalypse fantasies have the same trick. If Archer ever came across a single unreliable witness or tampered evidence, it would fall apart.
