"...beginning to..."
It's been crumbling for decades
What the fuck is this verbal diarrhea?
Don't forget who you are conversing with here...that's kind of his specialty.
They also have a Patreon account. Apparently receiving more than $2400 a month.
The organization in question:
Thanks for letting us know what the plebes think.
I thought it was mostly a joke of a movie
Understandable. It most definitely isn't. John Boorman was trying to do something different and unique and he got the "hurr durr Connery is wearing a speedo" treatment for decades for it. I'll take Zardoz over the millionth soulless CGI slop from Marvel any day.
I think Zardoz is inspired by the Wizard of Oz.
Shhhhhh! You're spoiling it (the film's own opening monologue does spoil it a bit).
And by the way I've found this site to be useful for getting decent film recommendations:
Yeah I agree. It's a huge disappointment, as you say. I got dogpilled in the SOTF Steam forum for wanting it to be better.
Fair enough!
Eh, I see it going the other way on Steam just as much, i.e. overly enthusiastic fans in the forums pouncing on the mildest and justified criticisms of a game while making endless excuses for devs. I experienced personally with the Long Dark and Sons of the Forest.
In case anyone is curious, this is the "well known white supremacist" Jared Taylor in an interview on the ABC news radio show "Uncomfortable":
Check out Machiavelli's Discourses on Livy. That and The Prince really should be read together.
It's the anti-All Quiet on the Western Front.
Erich Marie-Remarque served in combat a relatively short time before he was wounded and exited World War I, was an avowed pacifist, and spent much of his life living abroad outside of Germany.
Ernst Junger,on the other hand, fought for over three years in numerous battles, was wounded multiple times, and received Germany's highest award for valor. He utterly rejected pacifism and although recognized the horrible carnage of modern war he also appreciated it's capacity for adventure and personal, even transcendent growth through adversity. You'll see all of that in Storm of Steel. Just the type of book you'll never see assigned in high school literature class.
Some of Junger's fiction is quite good but rather unknown in the States, like the Glass Bees.
Teaser: a Roman consul commanding an army of slaves offers freedom in an imminent battle against the Carthaginians for each man who comes back with the head of a slain enemy.
The slaves are overenthusiastic once battle starts and become too busy trying collect and hold onto lopped of heads while fighting is still continuing. It nearly costs them the battle until the Roman commanders correct the behavior.
Livy's The War with Hannibal
Reject modern sources, embrace ancient ones.
You might be interested in this guy. Tons of videos on the history of the peoples of England from a decidedly non-woke historian.
You might find these books interesting:

For what it's worth, I haven't read anything in the past 2+ years published prior to this book from 1965:
https://www.amazon.com/Oxford-History-American-People/dp/0195000307
Highly recommend it if you're looking for a broad history of North America up to the early 1960s. Read it simultaneously with a more recent American history book for an "enlightening" experience.
Many people are commenting on the need to find older sources, as they can be more reliable and honest. But you have to be careful with that too. People like Franz Boas wrote nearly a hundred years ago and he polluted anthropology with his nonsense way back then. The field hasn't recovered and now he is considered a "father" of anthropology.
Nihil est.

It's not free but it greatly improved my acquisition compared to Duolingo.
Fair enough. Comment removed.
