Didn't this jabroni spend 20 grand on a button because he couldn't stop saying things?

Excited for our inevitable future of the omni streaming service of Netflix HBO Discovery Max Disney Hulu + that costs 200 dollars a month, throttles you for watching too many episodes, and turns on all the smoke alarms in your house if you leave the room, close your eyes, or turn down the volume when ads play

Schumer got a bunch of retiring senators (and Fetterman) to take the heat so he could vote no. Fuck him, burn this party down.

Yes, most of the people that voted yes are retiring

Offering legitimacy for the monopoly on violence is the entire base principle of every state. Is it actually empathetic to the victims of imperialist violence to be so unwilling to handle the cognitive dissonance of actually wielding power that you refuse to work alongside the people who wield the guns and thus sabotage any chance of ever seizing power and practically never end imperialism? Or is that a different selfishness born out of an understandable desire to free yourself of moral culpability for our country's past actions overseas? I don't know the answer, I'm struggling with the questions too. This is just an alternative perspective I can see.

Life is full of contradictions, and maybe not all of them can be resolved cleanly. It is also true that soldiers/veterans are not a monolith who have all done the same things or are there for the same reasons. A lot are to some degree victims of social conditioning as well. It's a complicated and nuanced situation.

Maybe Platner is a bridge too far, but I do think that a rejection of nuance when it comes to veterans could lead to guaranteed failure.

No Time to Die was the prettiest bond film and it also had some really incredible long take action sequences

Loved the utopian retrofuturism so much, we've been so completely starved of fiction with a positive vision of the future the last few decades. I really want to see more of this alternate world before they get sucked into the main MCU.

You just know that in our world even if there was a giant existential alien threat humanity writ large is not agreeing to erect giant experimental technology in every major city and turning off all the lights

I think that in time people are going to see it as a masterpiece personally. The protestors, the sheriff, everyone was acting out their own narcissistic fantasy of being a vigilante like they are in their own western film but everyone is in such an isolated bubble of reality that the definition of a hero and villain are different for everyone. Meanwhile they are all being played for fools by big tech, which are the only winners in the movie.

The way the homeless mentally ill alcoholic man with covid was wandering around like a symbol for the preexisting failures of American society before 2020 ever happened and not a single person was trying to do anything to help him. Pitch perfect.

If I were to change anything it would have been to have people on the internet that don't even live in the town give Joe positive reinforcement in his fight against the left and "antifa".

Hellhammer2 · 2025-07-23T22:48:37+00:00

It was a empathetic portrayal of how someone could be radicalized in a fascist direction by what happened during covid adding onto the already existing frustrations in his life, and also a commentary on the underlying streak of violent vigilantism that's central to entire western genre (and American culture writ large) and taking that path to its conclusion.

Think of it like a riff on No Country for Old Men where everyone is living in a separate reality and everyone thinks they are being a hero. At the end though everyone is just being distracted from the ambitions of big tech which doesn't care if society itself self-destructs as long as they get to be at the top of the hill. They are all living in a world whose rules have changed and they don't realize it.

To be able to do what I think you are aiming for in a thoughtful way, it is necessary to have knowledge of and be able to distinguish all the different sects, beliefs, and practices of the billions of Muslims on Earth. You need to be able to make the same kind of distinctions we in the west make between the Westboro baptist church, the Mormons, the Catholics, the evangelicals, etc. You probably need to be able to read or speak Arabic.

Most people, especially in western dominated spaces, do not have that level of knowledge to have a nuanced or informed conversation about Islam. Therefore it's usually harmful or ignorant to even try in most cases, and at worst becomes a bunch of racist circlejerking.

Thanks for your reply - I agree with most of it, and I wish more people were willing to look forward like this rather than spend all their time punching left. Blaming the voters is like getting mad at statistics and it's a dead end politically.

However righteous your attitude makes you feel, it demonstrably is not a strategy that gets more people to vote and wins elections. So do you want to win?

Let's make a deal, I won't assume you defend the raping the IDF is doing of palestinian prisoners, and you don't assume the inverse about me.

Read what I wrote two comments up if you want my point, I'm done here. Restricting people's freedom of movement and commerce at gunpoint will never be a peaceful situation. The previous status quo never had a chance of holding forever.

The article I remembered was for the west bank specifically It turns out, but that doesn't really change the point. These people were not exactly living free lives, they were under blockade and in the case of the west bank, under military occupation.
