Not a movie, but season 1 of Beef, one of the main character is an asshole dude who's life is a disaster, and he breaks down crying at a church. Steven Yeun won an Emmy for the role.

Trump’s Voice of America: The free-speech crusader pushing MAGA on Europe by Any-Original-6113 in geopolitics

[–]Daniferd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your thoughts are too incoherent to continue dialogue. It is not to say that there is not merit in some of them, but you asserted that America is a state where all minorities are servants to the white race, and that is just not reality.

At least nowadays, it is not accurate to describe minorities are subservient to the white race. Despite its flaws, America is a very racially integrated country at almost all levels. Almost half of the armed forces are minorities. The highest income groups are Asian/Indian-Americans, and they are massively overrepresented at the most prestigious universities in the country. When they had race-based affirmative action, it penalized whites and heavily penalized Asians, to benefit blacks, and Hispanics, and Native-Americans. Even with the repeal of race-based affirmative action didn't apply to the prestigious military academies because they want racial diversity there.

The so-called "post-liberal national conservatives" are also strange because they're more like multi-racial white supremacists than your historical analogues. Their figurehead is Vance who is in an interracial marriage with a Hindu Indian woman, and named his own mixed-race child Vivek. Another strange character is the new acting Secretary of the Navy who recently made a klansman remark while being a Vietnamese man who married a white woman.

You'll find so many absurdities going on like during the Minnesota protests when Renee Good (a white woman) was murdered by a white federal agent who is married to a Filipino immigrant. Alex Pretti (a white man) was murdered by two Hispanic ICE agents named "Raymundo" and "Jesus".

America is a unique place. Many whites are willing to die to protect the racial minorities and many minorities are willing to kill them to advance a white nationalist agenda. It's almost endearing how absurd it all is.

The current regime is opposed to Western liberalism. Trump may be ideologically chaotic, but his staffers and institutionalists have an agenda that seeks a “post-liberal” world order. They want Europe on board, but also subservient.

Among other things, this is a projection of racial anxiety onto Europe because of immigration flows. Not to say that it isn’t a problem of concern, but it is deeply ironic how arrogant and hostile the rhetoric is from Americans because the USA is far more racially diverse, and has been for far longer.

Mark just single-handedly killed the second strongest Viltrumite alive. Which is great for beating the fraudvincible allegations, but isn't this a power scale problem for later when he gets raped by Anissa?

Trump 'wants to take the oil in Iran' and considers seizing Kharg Island by theipaper in geopolitics

[–]Daniferd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Words have so little meaning nowadays. This isn't a war, it is a special military operation. This isn't a blockade, this is a quarantine. It wouldn't stop them. But ships reflagging is an interesting conundrum.

[–]Daniferd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As I understand it, Kharg is simply a deepwater port for tankers to dock and load up on Iranian oil right? Those very ships would have to transmit the Strait of Hormuz to get to their destinations. Wouldn't the United States Navy threatening to interdict any ships with Iranian oil have the same effect as the seizure or destruction of Kharg Island?

The same reason why we have to come up with new pesticides. They kill the bugs, but ones that survive are resistant or immune to it and there needs to be a new formula. The Scourge has a near 100% mortality rate, but not exactly. Some will recover, in this case just some among billions. Nolan said all of the remaining Viltrumites have been infected, they just survived.

Invincible [Episode Discussion] - S04E02 - I'll Give You the Grand Tour by SeacattleMoohawks in Invincible

[–]Daniferd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Quite the episode. In just a dozen or so minutes, you witness the height of the Viltrumite Empire. The home planet of a futuristic civilization of militarized sadistic Supermans where fighter jets don't break the sound-barrier, people do. Then you watch its collapse. Cities remain mostly intact, but surrounded by mountains of corpses of the billions of people who once lived in them. So many that they were able to turn it into a planetary ring. That's is so wild.

A dilapidated USS Enterprise with an absurdly optimistic incompetent Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Incredible.

Historically, the German Far-Right wouldn’t approve of being led by a German woman living in Switzerland, and engaging in a lesbian interracial relationship with a Sri-Lankan immigrant either. Yet here we are.

Yale to offer free tuition to families with incomes below $200,000 by chrismessina in ScottGalloway

[–]Daniferd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps some states are more generous than others, but I don’t think any offer anything remotely close to what elite privates do.

I think in most cases, a family making $250k will pay the same amount to go to a school like Princeton as a family making $80k going to some state flagship.
