The Boycott on Normalcy
8th November 2013
I caught Ender’s Game last night and was quite surprised: The film subtly advocates for values of liberal governance. The plot centers around a gender-integrated, multicultural global military of wise children in a world with strict population control. The takeaway “lesson” is that militarism and genocide are bad, mmmkay? And yet the usual subjects—many who probably wouldn’t bother seeing the film anyway—are boycotting. Why?
Author Orson Scott Card, who by the way won’t be receiving a dime from the film’s profits, isn’t sufficiently enthusiastic about gay marriage. What else could provoke such outrage in 2013 America?

Surprised? Why? Card often mentions how liberal he is.

But not liberal enough, apparently. ‘Progressives’ are like Communists, any ideological deviation, even the slightest, and they’ll turn on you like a pack of dogs.
