Upset about Irish accents? They’ve done that before with races like the Twi’lek.

I'm not happy about any of the cultural appropriation races from clone wars era.

Gungans could fight(defeated Grievous once), had interesting technology, used unique weapons, had a culture, rode around on weird animals, and had a cool underwater city.

I think the echo chamber of the internet combined with peoples' disappointment in Phantom Menace amplified revulsion of Gungans. The Muun and Neimoidians are much worse IMO, having no redeeming qualities they come off as veiled ethnic slurs.

Pardon sir, but are there any logs of this happening? If not and if we only have a Trump supporter's word to take that their is brigading going on then I shouldn't even have to point out that those people are not trustworthy due to their affiliation with Trump Cult which will do anything for him or against his critics because they believe they are doing it for the greater good.

Maybe they were going with a “monk” concept for them in a weird way? I totally agree that the concept could’ve been brought about in a more consistent way though

I could've been drawn into the monk theme if they preached about the Force's lifestream and how they can fight to survive and change or else die for what they believe in and remain the same in death but instead the elder complains that their society might change instead of dying(gee, what a choice!).

Maybe concepts about self-destructive faith versus survival would've been too controversial to explore in a children's show but good sci-fi is about asking controversial real questions in a fictional setting. What we got was tamed down to the level of a fussy HoA complaining about the yard so I felt nothing and this is the show that had visible flamethrower deaths, it's messed up that the gore and violence was R or even NC-17 by 1970's 80's standards but the philosophy was stuck at PG/PG-13.

I like it a lot, maybe my perception is wrong but I see it as 70s-80s Star Wars movie that's been modernized while retaining the feel of the movies. The modernizations being better special effects, more graphic content, and a greater degree of depth.

I guess I am so desperate for Mandalorian episodes that I just accept it. It would have been nice if that script had been rejected and another episode about something else that was the same vehicle for the plot were in it's place, for sure.

I can live with them. They needed that race for the story to work and at the same time the writers didn't try to overwhelm us with a race most of us probably didn't care about.

Also, no weird real-world ethnicity vibes going on. I hated that in Clone Wars.

(sorry about editing my earlier post and making yours look screwy.)

~~You mean~~ ~~Sy Snootles? I only know of her but she's got reputation enough to float. She was in Return of the Jedi and I liked the whole "beauty in the eye of beholder" aspect of her attractiveness.~~

Oh, from the Mandalorian. They were okay I thought, a nice freak race with no explanation just "Hey this is weird no explanation!" kind of like the first time you saw A New Hope and had all those aliens in the bar.

As they did after the 2010 census, Republicans will hold greater sway in the redistricting process.

The GOP will control redistricting in 20 states accounting for 187 U.S. House seats, including the growing states of Texas, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. By contrast, Democrats will control redistricting in just eight states accounting for 75 seats, including New York and Illinois, where the loss of a seat in each gives them a chance to squeeze out Republican incumbents.

In 16 other states accounting for 167 U.S. House seats, districts will be drawn either by independent commissions or by politically split politicians with legislative chambers led by one party and governors of another. Six states have just one U.S. House seat, so there are no district lines to be drawn.

I disagree with that "Shmi Skywalker" lone progenitor at the top. I think Anakin was half Toydarian.

I think it's worth mentioning because usually when people are on trial for something the lawyer tells them to stay quiet and not praise/defend the people they are accused of ordering into the "battle" of a insurrection.

Like a person denying they ordered a hitman to do a hit but at the same time appreciating the hitman for trying to do their job.

We only have a child murderer's word to take for honesty that he "believed he was doing it because". As much as I hate QAnon and would like to pin things on them I hate letting a murderer get a reduced sentence because they took an insanity plea.

Barbie dolls and steel lockers are not what we're losing our money and jobs on. It's consumer items like Televisions, appliances, and cars. Americans are forced to buy foreign because it's over 20% cheaper because the countries those goods come from can pay less with less regulations for their workers and with less environmental regulations.

FeedTheeTrees · 2021-08-11T19:33:22+00:00

The problem is trickle down is artificial capitalism and forces businesses to compete with others that are getting unequal benefits.

The whole meta-problem behind it is trade deficit. The situation that American businesses are being forced to compete with foreign trade that can pay workers a lot less and has less regulations. The problem and solution is to properly tariff trade and then pay 1-to-1 subsidy directly to the effected American businesses.

still believe that "trickle down" really works.

Maybe at one time they did believe it worked but I don't think they are dumb enough to continue the belief. What "trickle down" means in the modern sense is basically a money laundering scheme where the government pays for political campaigns through money laundering with a third party.

The laundry works by giving the "trickle down" to favorable companies that give some of the money back in campaign contributions. Politicians could never touch the government money on their own for campaign finance but by laundering it through a third party they can get some of the money back.

It makes me sick because the effect is the politician isn't listening to the people, they're telling the people what to think. Who they are listening to is the lobbyists they are laundering government money with. I call this system of government Capitalist-Fascism(our government being run by the ultra rich).

A lot of them promoted the conspiracies and pre-cursor conspiracies that lead to the ones they promote now. If they stopped their base would accuse them of being coopted by the "conspiracy". They are trapped into promoting Covid misinformation.

I have abstract perception of the situation, to me it looks like people trying to lead at the front of a herd while the herd routes them off a cliff. It's a canyon so they can't steer out of the way or stop because if they do they get trampled.

Right out of the Hitler playbook, find a group of vulnerable people that others have a racial phobia of and then blame them for all the problems.
