freedom = tyranny
it's right outta 1984, ffs...
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
in and off itself not a dealbreaker for me, but the real question is whether it'll be handled better than the comics did. instead of making him a legitimately interesting character, who actually had actual history with cap, they just made him a soapbox for all of their "historical injustice" bullshit.
Given it's Disney, I'm guessing they'll go the same way the comics did, but who knows...
"a bit too self-serious without packing a real political punch
...considering the source, suddenly i'm interested in this film...
well, i can understand and respect that.
my biggest problem is with antitheists, not because they're necessarily bad people, some are no doubt very well meaning people, but because so many of them are almost religiously(ironic) opposed to even the suggestion that there may be some validity to faith, to the point that they're insufferable to be around.
seriously, i knew a guy who would snap an angry retort even if you even quipped that 'there is a god."
not thinking of anyone in particular, lol. I'm just trying to make sure I understand.
...I was literally about to mention cuban expats till i reread your comment, lol.
Grew up Baptist, went through an athiest period in my teens, 'born again' in my late teens/early twenties, went agnostic by the time I was 22.
no beef with christians, just don't count myself among the faith. like you said, christianity played a big role in the development of the west, sometimes for the better, sometimes not so much (every group has chapters in their history they'd just assume glue shut, nothing shocking there)
so athiest, not antithiest?
just trying to pin it down.
former communist side, but apparently you're right...
no, china takes the bullshit to the next level and pretends to be a republic.
keep in mind, the whole country still feels guilty for what their great grandparents did when they were high on meth, and one half lived under communist rule for sixty years.
yes...i've seen the photos of your prime minister cosplaying, and not just the blackface ones, lmao.
sadly, we have a shitton of it stateside as well... for all the left's talk of 'eurocentrism' when it comes to beauty, their politicians are some of the most eurocentric dick-riders i've ever seen...Barry O being the example that comes to mind...
...I'm starting to wonder if "post-nationalism" isn't europe trying to drag it's former possessions down with it in the deathrows of their political relevance... it really feels like that continent's been in freefall for a while, and now they want to drag the rest of the world down with them...
...and since so many former colonies, etc. are infested with Eurocrats, they're all too happy to go along with it so long as Mommy Europa gives them head pats on the journey...
no...I'm saying frame it in a way that will yield results... Reality is society will always favor women over men. always has, always will.
otherwise, you're just beating your head against the same wall pointlessly.
lmao. fair.
honestly, i saw one of those weird 70s/80s sci-fi that was actually really interesting...riiiight up until it turned creepy... i forget the title, but it was something to do with hyper-intelligent ants, and it just went full pedowood at the end...
you mean you dont like the trite, "experimental" distopian science fiction of the late 70s where everybody always dies at the end? lmao.
...honestly, i think she meant to say censoring. she didn't pause like she made a mistake, she paused like she was waiting for someone to back her up...
laughing at them for being so pathetic
hence my comment about women being terrible at killing themselves. 😉
I sympathize with MGTOW, even if I don't agree with their solution. they're not bad people, just very bitter, emotionally bruised people.
Also holy shit, this article is a veritable goldmine of memeable quotes.
example:
women attempt suicide more often, but men are far more likely to die by it.
...even when it comes to killing yourself, women are terrible at it.
take the W for what it is. fact is, nothing gets society motivated to fix a problem like it affecting women.
My one major criticism of Men's Rights Advocates is the insistence on framing it in a way that may be principled, but garners no help for the men involved, in spite of having pinpointed the problem decades ago...
someone tried to say she said "centering," not censoring...I listened a dozen times, and I didn't hear a t in those three syllables anywhere...
could be. it may not even be a single universal element. it could be something in the particular hobby/interest that finds communist dogma irritable, one that isn't necessarily the same in each sub group.
now, to be fair, it depends on context, lol.
'imagine' if you will a political party with their hands up to the elbow in the national coffers, and suddenly their opposition is elected and slams the door shut on their arm...
😂 I know, it's crazy to imagine that a nation might have a federal "aid" agency with a nearly unlimited budget and being treated as effectively independent for decades funding said political party's agenda to the point that they become dependent on it to control the narrative, only to get caught and cut off, but "crazy" as it is, it's not impossible, lmao.
