The child acting is a bit rough particularly from the kid who plays Bastion, but it is pretty trippy, in terms of concepts it deals with without giving anything away and it has great practical effects that still look wild today. It's a fairly philisophical movie, and the book is even better with how philisophical it is. The second half of the book gets even trippier. Leave it to the Germans (Micahel Ende is German) to write a kids book and make it some existential head trip.
Exactly. When I saw the right nodding along and not speaking up when Leo Dicaprio is called a pedo for liking to date young attractive women; aka the behavior of all men in Hollywood forever, it was really disturbing.
The reality is the ideal is like in the Biblical times. When a man is financially stable at around 18 - early 20s, he marries a girl who is about 15 or so.
Now that would be called peodphilia today, but the alternative of women not being led by a man, but stay single and get their ideas coming from society and feminism and college marxism is a horrific alternative.
It's frustrating that I even have to say this, but this isn't me being like the infiltrators who talk about Brooke Shields. Again, the ideal is once a man becomes financially stable aka able to sustain wife and kids, marries a 15 year old or so which was not considered a child in most of human history.
Not some 30s or older guy creepily being attracted to a 12 year old. That's what pedo defenders who come in here want.
What I'm saying is the ideal is no sex outside of marriage like God ordained and a man who is old enough to know things and has some degree of wisdom as men are less hoodwinked and decieved by garbage guides his wife in righteousness and godliness as the leader.
The alternative of women marrying in their 20s as default after their mind has already been pumped full of secular thought is not the ideal.
I'm not going to get married so this is not personal to me, and as a Christian I'm not allowed to have sex as a single man. So this isn't some ulterior motive. I just think it's crazy to call it pedophilia when like you said the 17 year old example or when you have Joseph being likely late teens to early 20s and Mary likely being in the mid-teens and while God calls them righteous, modern day people would call Joseph a pedophile and Mary a victim which if you're calling something evil that God has blessed, that's dangerous territory. And Joseph and Mary were not the exception, this was the default for most of human history.
This shows how the sensibilities around this topic has gotten totally screwed up, just like how the word racist has no meaning any more.
Again the distinction between what I'm saying and the guy who comes here and tries to talk about Brooke Shields and stuff like that is important. I'm saying, don't lust after anyone except for your wife in marriage. The pedo's who try to push stuff here every so often try to promote the "attractiveness of child actresses" which is just them trying to paint this board as a pro-pedo board. And it's unfortunate I have to qualify this so much because society doesn't make the distinction between the two and will even jump to Leo dating a 20 year old as pedophilia an idea that would have seemed ludicrous even 10 years ago outside the most fringe feminist circles as that's what most successful Hollywood men did.
The reason a lot of people want to become famous is so when they're 50 they don't have to settle for a 50 year old woman, but can score 20 year old models.
Haha, do you mean from me, or from anyone in general?
The available versions of the trailer had garbage quality. I shot matched from blu rays (newest imprint blu ray and german constantin blu ray) to recreate the trailer with high resolution.
I cannot think of a single "remaster" that looks better than the original.
And im not just talking about the woke age either.
You'd have ps1/ps2 era games that are like "centipede:revamped" and they'd utilize the graphics of those days but things like that are always butt ugly.
Centipede looks good because its vector style glow centipede against black background.
When you make everything visual and make the centipede look like a well textured polygon you make the visual appeal go away.
In almost every case the only time a "remaster" looks better is when its just porting the same graphics but in high resolution and framerate like banjo kazooie on XBLA.
The typical thing is throw post processing and bloom over the image like wind waker hd for wii u.
And why do remakes always look so bad? Because when the original game was made maybe graphics engines were limited but art direction was not.
So when you come around with a remake in order to get people to feel like the remake is different enough, you change the art direction. But the people making the original game weren't idiots. They made choices. Its easier to make good choices starting from the start rather than looking at the good that was done and going "how can we change this to the point we can justify calling this a remake.
Id say like 1% of remakes legitimately look better than the original.
If 4k textures made a game look superior, then all the slop on steam which was made in a day in unity "looks good" because it has 4k textures while a ps2 game doesn't.
No, graphical fidelity is one of the least important things when it comes to a game looking good.
While I can see the value of anonymity, even if I don't fully agree with it; their uniform is counter-productive.
Their uniform looks like a mix of KKK with the white face mask and a paramilitary. They look like how a fictional movie would portray a "right wing militia".
If they want their ideas to be heard and accepted, there are better ways than looking like a movie studio take on what a white nationalist who's covering their face would come up with.
Have a outfit that evokes 1776 and patriotism, not a military force.
Anytime people wear stuff that evokes military we file them away as militants and people to avoid. This is true also of communist revolutionaries who wear a beret on their college campus in the 1960s and are trying to tell you the socialists have the right idea as their military jacket has black panther patches and whatnot.
It's just not productive. You know why Jared Taylor is effective? Because they'd love for Jared Taylor to seem extreme and indeed his ideas are extreme in terms of the current overton window. But he presents his ideas calmly, explains the logic of them, and does it with a smile. So people can write him off as a "racist" but they still go home with their tail tucked between their legs because they couldn't dismantle his arguments nor could they find any issues with his conduct.
The problem with the patriot front isn't merely that they're anonymous. There's many bloggers, tweeters, etc who remain anonymous sharing controversial ideas until they get doxxed and then sometimes still after getting doxxed, and some who never get doxxed. Anonymity isn't the main issue. It's the way they choose to be anonymous feels too convenient to the mainstream media views about the right.
If people calling PF feds are feds, then the FBI employs more people than Mcdonalds.
The keyword there is "were" aka past tense.
The KKK is barely an entity now. Nothing more than a tiny social club. In their heyday in the early 20th century they were community organizers.
And with patriot front every single solitary thing they do that has ever anything to do with disaster relief is documented, it's optics building. You will never, ever hear a story like "Patriot Front came and helped me when I was in need", like you hear from people who had encounters with Hell's Angels. Hell's Angels will often take it into their own hands to go and do something they feel needs to be done. Even people who don't like Hell's Angel's gives them credit for going and helping people with no media, no cameras, no optics curation. Hell's Angels does stuff, good and bad whether cameras are there or not.
There is never any stories of Patriot Front getting involved in any community or peoples lives unless it's like a politician doing a PR stunt to help their brand.
Also allow me to show why what Rossuea is saying is even doubly absurd no matter the year, but especially given it's an election year
If Rousseau truly believe Trump was a white supremacist and Rousseau himself is a white supremacist, he would know the very best thing he could do to help him get elected is distance himself from Trump. A true political strategist would say "I'm viewed as a hate leader of a fringe group, but what I want, Donald Trump can accomplish....so the best strategic thing to do is say nothing, or lie and say Donald Trump has rejected our movement and so our movement rejects him"
If he said "Donald Trump has rejected our movement so our movement rejects him" as a lie, (even though it wouldn't really be a lie as Donald Trump has frequently disavowed white nationalists such as Charlotsville) this would be intelligent political game theory. Then when Trump is elected, and if he truly is what Rosseau claims he is, then Trump would change things in certain ways, then you reveal your hand.
Saying he's a white supremacist just like us before an election would be the equivalent of a cold war spy, having a suitcase full of valuable intel and right before they're about to get on a plane going "by the way, I'm a spy and I'm about to deliver a death blow to your country....see ya later suckers" and then gets shocked when the plane is delayed and he's taken into custody and all his valuable intel is seized.
A cold war spy, aka a truly intelligent political actor, waits until their in their homeland to celebrate. If Rossaue believes the homeland in America that could exist in Trump's America is a white nationalist one, you hold your tongue until it arrives until you make any political moves or statements.
Only two options are possible. 1. He's sincere in which case he's a blithering moron in terms of political game theory;
- He knows exactly what he's doing, which is feeding the blows against Donald Trump that the media wants.
What does this year have in common with 2020?
Midterms are nearly here so a voting year. Very interesting timing that isn't it?
Just in time to make the GOP look as radical as the left like to say they are, right on July 4th as America's celebrating their 250th anniversary, a time where average Americans are loving America for traditional Americana, and happiness that we're not in a Kamala presidency. And while the typical American is barbecuing and shooting fireworks and going "I'm not as ashamed of America as I was under Biden" here comes this group to give the media another layup to associate "here's the true right and why you need to vote democrat and what 4th of July (and by extension America) actually represents to the right....so better vote for us democrats if you don't want this."
You want to know the difference between Patriot Front and KKK? Ignoring all beliefs, KKK were community organizers who tried to make differences to the visions that they saw fit wherever they lived and operated. They were not merely political optics dispensers.
Was there anyone except for leftists calling Trump a white supermacists at any point in history?
The most someone like Rosseau would say out of naivity if you want to call it that, is "Trump generally supports our values" which is true to the degree that Trump supports older America and not globohomo. However by 2020 Trump had already hired Omarosa to his cabinet, and frequently praised black people. When has Trump ever given the impression that he's a white nationalist?
I watched things like Celebrity Apprentice and Trump was very pro-black. He does the typical white guilt thing of praising black people needlessly over just doing the bare minimum which is why it was always laughable that he was considered a white supremacist by the left as he, just like the left constantly wants to curry favor with black people.
This doesn't make me dislike Trump. It's just a universal sort of mindset of people who are older and you shrug and go "whatever, as long as he's not making it policy, like Obama clearly did, where Obama tried to divide America along racial lines".
So his statement is baffling no matter what year it's made and shows, if it's sincere, he's not very politically literate which makes it odd that he's the leader of some "highly principled" political movement that patriot front supposedly is.
I'm gonna disagree with you that Mad Max (2015) is purely ok. I think it's one of the few games of the PS4 era that is amazing.
It was how I love open world games to be. Had some of the best combat I've played (It's arkham style combat, but it feels even more brutal and impactful) and when you pull out the shotgun in the middle of combat it feels so good, cause it hits so hard and the shotgun needs to be reserved for when you really want to use it. It makes you feel like you're this legend of the wasteland, which Mad Max is supposed to be. It basically took all the testosterone that was missing from Mad Max Fury Road (the action scenes were great but it was a feminist movie where Mad Max was a damsel in distress more than an action hero with furiosa being the true protagonist) and pumped it into that game.
I also will never not find it funny that the villains name in the Mad Max game is "Scrotus". Funniest sounding villain name of all time.
But yeah, everything in that game just feels great.
I love open world games where you feel like Alexander the Great, going forth and conquering where the meta is you're growing your legend. I have no idea what the actual story of the game is as I skip the cutscenes like most games. The game in my head is, "here's an apocalyspe, you're Mad Max, make people fear and respect you as you tame the apocalypse in whatever way you can).
I wouldn't say it's a top ten game for me, but it'd probably crack my top 30. If I made a top ten open world games of all time, it'd certainly be on there.
That's something I can agree on
Same in all accounts including the timing of the noticing.
Some of the most fun gaming I've had has been in the past year playing the original 2000s PS2 God of War for the first time. Playing classics for the first time or revisiting classics > FOMO over slop any day of the week
Let's analyze several aspects; The woman is sitting close to the aisle where all the patriot front members are standing. Pristine sitting for the camera shot composition, totally illogical for a black woman anxious and nervous around a bunch of "violent racists".
Psychologically, she'd want to move to the seat closer to the window, not get closer to these people. But if she were in the seat closer to the window, she wouldn't be perfectly framed between the two foreground federal agents, ahem, I mean Patriot front members, so why is she so comfortable sitting closest to them? If I were on a bus full of ISIS people, and there was a seat I could sit further away from the ones standing, I would, but hey, call me crazy.
Next, it's all so perfectly framed, foreground elements, background elements, all leading the eye to the perfect contrast of the black woman perfectly framed in the shot.
That's less like a reality and more like if a leftist was tasked with drawing what they think the average day for a black woman is in their delusional minds.
And how exactly did this black woman come to be on this bus, being the sole person, with the reuters camera person with their high end camera there ready to go. She's in the middle of the bus, with people seated behind her and in front of her and the aisles filled with people standing with perfect camera framing. I took the bus all the time when I lived downtown in my city and I never was the only person on a bus, no matter what time of day. The liklihood of a bus being just her, and one group is astronomically low. You should expect to see her plus patriot front and evidence of at least someone else.
2 Peter 3 (Where is the promise of His coming, it's the same as it's always been)
3 Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” 5 For [a]when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, 6 through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. 7 But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
8 But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. 9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.
One of the repliers had a very succinct reply
Translation:- "join hopeless fed-infiltrated memecoin joke outfits and get yourself arrested so that the MIC can keep the show on the road"
I don't know what the MIC is, but his reply is contextual enough that I understand what he's saying in general.
Am I to assume since you've posted this, you're part of Patriot Front, otherwise that would make you a hypocrite. Praising them from the sidelines while being inactive would be just as bad as criticizing them from the sidelines and being inactive, no?
Of course if you are part of Patriot Front you're bound not to tell so dang, I guess that's a dead end question. But here you are arguing with me. There's actions to be taken out there. Your fellow comrades would probably be dissapointed with you that you've wasted valuable time trying to convince a person who will never join Patriot Front on the merits of joining Patriot Front. Wouldn't Patriot Front members tell others that it's prudent to try to recruit the willing, not the unwilling. If the split is so extreme, the inactive MAGA losers (who went out and voted Trump into office when doomers said it couldn't be done and that extreme measures needed to be taken) vs the active Patriot Fronters, than any energy spent trying to convince someone who will never be convinced is energy that could be spent towards whatever they consider productive.
being a marxist does indeed puts you outside the overton window of conservatism. It puts you within the overton window of marxists.
I'm outside the overton window as well. The playbook I adhere to, or try to anyways, is the Bible.
If you believe the Bible literally, you will be too extreme for the overton window, while also not needing to borrow some commie mindset.
If they behaved like the new dissident right wing does, they would be by definition, rules for radicals style leftists.
On Reddit I have an anonymous account and never share any political opinions on Reddit because I know they'd just get me banned immediately. So why is my account anonymous on Reddit? Because that's the internet.
When I had my facebook account with my full first and last name, I shared my political beliefs, ranted about the gay agenda and things of that nature, my religious beliefs, etc. I didn't hide my beliefs when my name and face was on facebook.
For a short time it was foolishly seen as acceptable to have your name and face out there such as places like Facebook, but my lack of anonymity didn't stop me saying what I believed anymore than it stops me here.
The reason I don't post my name and face here is the same reason some Joe schmo on a video game forum who is a political normie and just wants to talk about his favorite RPG's doesn't post his name and face. It's just not what you do. It has nothing to do with politics.
Since when is that the litmus test that proves someone's not a fed. The debate over if Andrew Tate is a fed planted psy-op, or Nick Fuentes, or Richard Spencer or even Alex Jones has raged on forever despite having been on or even owning radio shows and podcasts. So one guy being on a podcast proves their not a fed, but in all other cases, this doesn't apply. "Alex Jones is controlled opposition", yet he's been public forever, but one guy is the face of an organization and that's evidence it's not a fed or psyop?
And if their organization is so dedicated to the idea of anonynimity, why is their leader such a bucker of the trend? Does he have nothing to lose, while the others do? lf their supposed leader being on podcasts is evidence that the entire group is legitimate, then no one here can ever claim any of these people you're suspicious of are "Jew plants" or whatever else you say.
People here will simultaneously assent to the proven fact that whenever white people try to organize even for the most benign reasons, within weeks, 60% of that group will have been supplanted by feds who won't allow it to happen and you'll inevitably lead to them trying to force something like a "kidnap governor witmer" plot, but then will turn around and say Patriot Front is legit because a single guy shows his face and talks about it.
So the FBI is crafty enough to infiltrate plain clothes people who show their face (which they are) but not crafty enough to create a honeypot organization where people hide their face.
That's interesting to me.
"post your full name and face on here"
The Internet rules have nothing to do with politics and have been around since the 90s or earlierm
If Elon Musk is operating as a person in the public, he shows his face and stands by his opinions. Elon Musk also likely has anonymous accounts on the Internet where he's not stupid enough to announce his name and location. He has his public accounts and his private accounts.
The anonymity of the Internet was not about being cancelled for politics but had to do with the same sort of safety procedures that prevent identity theft and is just common sense behavior.
Anthony Cumia had millions of dollars to lose as a public figure and he did lose it, but that didn't stop him from sharing his racial opinions despite knowing the risk.... why, because he believed in them.
Do you think these patriot front people have more to lose than a guy who was making multi millions on a PR concerned Sirius XM radio show? Is their reputation and what they believe so much more inflammatory than Anthony Cumia and their livelihood so much more valuable that they need to be masked up at all times? The only people I see wear masks are terrorists, antifa and criminals.
The one exception is people like ICE but the difference is they're dealing with cartel. Leftists aren't even their biggest concern if ice is unmasked, it's the cartel.
Patriot Front does not share the same cartel risk.
No one is supposed to share their name or face on the Internet even if you have Mr Rogers political beliefs and it has nothing to do with being part of a political movement.
In the real world when I believe something, I don't hide. Even Neo Nazis show their face. You can go to a neo Nazi compound right now and they'll gladly show you their SS and Swastika tattoos. In fact, they're practically giddy to tell you their beliefs from ones I've encountered. If even Neo Nazis don't hide, but will explain why they believe what they believe then I am highly suspicious of Patriot Front.
Careful, u/Unknownsailor might launch into an attack with you saying that, though I wonder if he only does it for obvious fed groups like patriot front.
Diversity quotas?
If they were feds they would be all white as a diversity quota would break the narrative they're trying to propagate about "white people being the threat to the west".
Just like how MRA has tons of women, when you allow true diversity of opinion you get a motley crew of people.
No, I don't think proud boys is fed. You know why? They are straight up about what they are, what they do, how they are characterized in the media is just like how Donald Trump is or MAGA, totally mischaracterized. They don't show up for these perfectly photographed photo ops, they don't cover their face.
Other groups I don't think are feds are things where when you have ideas, you say them proudly like the anti-Muslim marches in England. There the English citizens were openly proud of their nation and proudly said Islam has no place here and that's a country without free speech, so the fact that they showed up in huge droves even further passes the smell test. There's a reason MAGA and proud boys don't wear masks and say their opinions straight up. Because they're not ashamed of their opinions. And they say, everytime you lie about us, you vindicate us.
Patriot front is the most mysterious group that no one knows exactly what they're about, they get wheeled out for perfect little photo ops now and then that perfectly fit the mainstream narrative, etc.
It's called discernment. If you can't see some bullcrap when you see it, then that's not my problem.
Righteous Lot was tormented living in Sodom and Gomorrah. The Bible praised his example of seeing everything that was happening around him and suffering internally because of it. Most Christians throughout all history have lived in pagan nations where they are helpless except to pray to God about what is happening. It is rare that Christians rise up and take out abominations. It says in the end times, when they come to drag you away and put you to death, do not resist them.
That is what being a Christian is in this world, recogonizing that this world is not ours, it is Satan's but Christ's victory is already won. That does not mean inaction for Christians. Wherever we can, we act to bring about righteousness, and what this woman did isn't even necessarily wrong, especially since she's accepting the consequence and not trying to fight it. But the point is when you say that Christians or the right say abortion is murder and do not follow through with actions that should naturally follow, you're ignoring that this looking out with despair is the common experience for all Christians. Christians looked with sorrow at the roman colluseum where they and others were put to death for sport. They rightly cry out that nations have blood on their hands, but they pray and accept the persecution because Christ said Christians would be persecuted.
It's not a contradiction that we say it's murder, but we also don't burn down abortion clinics. If we did what we wanted to instutions that are godless, we'd be acting like the world who has to take actions into their own hands. To the degree the right has been founded on Christian principles, is the degree that you see why we don't behave like the left, and to the degree the modern right rejects the bedrock of conservatism, is to the degree they are baffled why conservatives don't follow "rules for radicals" style tactics in order to win like leftists do.
Much appreciated!
