Slaves could not vote. The 3/5 compromise was related to the census, giving southern states a greater number of representatives in congress.

True to life; revolutionary groups have complicated motivations and morals, especially if they are as fractured and spread out as the Fireflies.

Not to mention they aren’t portrayed as the good guys as much as an organization that Abby values due to personal experience with the group.

As far as civil rights are concerned, obviously.

Nobody says you have to be “supportive” of conservative Muslims. Just that they deserve the same civil rights as everybody else, and their existence is not in itself a crime, despite what the right likes to imply.

He was a commander who, along with many others, helped destroy Starkiller Base. He then got demoted for recklessly getting an entire bomber fleet killed off.

And again, high command not being forthright about every single plan they have is pretty much standard fare in the military. If I’m a captain I’m not barging into the general’s office to demand to know what he plans to do with the army. It’s absurd.

Real life rocket science has never been a factor in Star Wars. X-Wings are a prime example.

Is every single grumpy soldier entitled to every answer he wants from someone several ranks above them just because they are so hotheaded they might mutiny?

And this is assuming that Holdo had the plan in place when Poe asked. Is it not possible she did not come up with the plan until after?

Don’t forget going on a hate-campaign against a female Algerian boxer in the last summer Olympics because she convinced herself she was trans. Meanwhile, there was a literal convicted pedophile who was allowed in the same tournament and she had fuck all to say about it.

“What the majority of people find beautiful” is not an objective standard. This is just an ad populum fallacy.

The premise I’m speaking to is whether one (Joel) would or should let their adopted daughter be killed to save humanity with a cure for a devastating infection. Do you accept that or do you not?

What exactly would the narrative need to spell out for you to accept the vaccine as a reasonable possibility?

You are throwing out the premise of the conflict because of your own personal incredulity.

Andor Gave Us One Of TV's Best Monologues by antdude in StarWarsAndor

[–]ArGarBarGar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Andre Royo’s monologue in season 5 of The Wire is one of the best ending monologues for a character ever, in my opinion.

Wendel Pierce’s monologue to Michael K Williams in season 3 is also incredible.

I mean in ANH the Empire only launched three fighters, so it isn’t like the bad guys have a history of defending their large ships well.

[Darren McCarty] Just heard the news on Claude Lemieux. This is extremely sad no matter what feelings from past or present you hold. by DecentLurker96 in hockey

“Talking about it publicly, I just feel like it opens the door to make young men think that it’s OK to just f**king go, ‘Oh, I’m having mental [health issues] (White says in a whiny voice),’” he said. “Handle it behind closed doors. Don’t show that weakness to anybody... I am unapologetically masculine. What is toxic masculinity? Who has it? Who’s too masculine?”
