The Incredibles is a great allegory for Whites, but Dash in particular is an uncanny allegory for Gen Z White Males. He is born with abilities beyond his peers, but he's forbidden from using them because his parents agreed to made up bureaucratic rules before he was born. Even when they finally relent at the end of the movie and permit him to compete as a runner, he's encouraged to hold himself back so that he's not beating the competition too badly. Perhaps he's even encouraged to throw races so that others can win. The only thing in life he's allowed to celebrate are the bare minimum non-accomplishments afforded to all who merely survive long enough, like a fourth grade graduation. None of this is because Dash is a bad kid. He didn't steal his powers. No, he didn't really 'earn' them, either. But, he has them. He can use them. But made up rules by generations before him, looking to solve problems that weren't really problems, forbid him from doing so. I doubt that Brad Bird intended this allegory, as I'd find it unlikely he could see quite where America was headed only a few short years after this movie came out. But it stands now as one of the best rightwing movies out there, because Whites are the Supers. We were made to hold ourselves back and only reflect on the 'glory days.' We aren't allowed to make those glory days anymore. Why not? Oh, because some man with a fancy piece of paper said so. Yeah, we're basically unstoppable if we wanted to force the issue, but we're good law abiding people; even if the law is overtly hostile to our genetic group in particular. And Dash is the next generation, coming up into this with the natural position to grow up in this system and realize that it is utterly insane. "So what if its not fair to them that I can do these things? Its unfair that I'm not allowed to do what I can do."

It’s just completely unserious that these bitchy norwooding judges have kid gloves for career criminals with 53 violent priors when they push an elderly woman onto the subway tracks and then routinely throw the book at normal teenage boys for having a fake id or something

Venice built the greatest commercial empire in European history without a central bank, without industrial policy, and without a single economic development agency. While Byzantine bureaucrats strangled Constantinople with regulations and Frankish kings debased their currencies, Venetian merchants created wealth through voluntary exchange and sound money. The lagoon dwellers who fled Attila's hordes in 452 AD had nothing but salt marshes and fish. No natural resources. No agricultural surplus. No inherited infrastructure. What they possessed was something far more valuable: distance from the coercive apparatus of mainland states. This geographic accident forced them to survive through trade rather than taxation, commerce rather than conquest. Venice's constitution deliberately fragmented power to prevent any single authority from controlling trade. The Doge held ceremonial functions while competing merchant families checked each other's ambitions. No guild could monopolize an industry without rivals organizing alternative trading networks. When the state tried to restrict private commerce in 1297 with the Serrata del Maggior Consiglio, it marked the beginning of Venice's decline, not its peak. The Venetian ducat maintained its gold content for over 500 years while every other European currency suffered debasement. Merchants could calculate profits across decades, plan investments across generations, and accumulate capital without worrying about monetary manipulation. Compare this to England, where Henry VIII cut silver content by 83% in just 20 years. Voluntary association and sound money create abundance. Coercion creates poverty. Venice proved this. The same economic laws that enriched Venetian merchants still operate today, waiting for governments brave enough to get out of the way.

“Mormonism means Jesus failed to preserve His Church.” Only if your Bible is missing, like, the entire Bible. The scriptural pattern is God establishing a covenant people, watching them drift into apostasy, and then sending prophets to correct, warn, restore, and gather. That is not an embarrassing exception to the Bible. That is the plot of the Bible. Paul literally warned of “grievous wolves,” disciples being drawn away, and a “falling away” before the coming of Christ. So the Restoration is not “Jesus failed.” It is “humans apostatized, and God restored.” Again.
