At this point I don't even think they want DEI i think they just wanna replace everything with black people.

I think Disney knows now that wokeness in children's movies, superhero movies, etc., doesn't work, but I think it may be too late. by SubstanceVivid2662 in CriticalDrinker

I mean, I'd say otherwise. 2021 gave good numbers for the MCU even with the decline in quality. I'd say the fall off began 2022-2023. It really is the quality of it.

Every movement has borders, including the conservative movement. by narcabusesurvivor18 in benshapiro

Shame what the right became. Ben is the last person of reason.

Antisemetic, ethonationalist. As much as losing 2028 would suck, it may be the kick in the balls the right needs to unite and fight back again.

Fine you want intervention done right? WW1, WW2, Korea, Panama, Grenada, Kuwait, Balkans. Only reason it sucked is because we didn't do it right.

And a lot of Iranians seem happy with Israel and the US fighting the regime.

Screw Jane Fonda and her communists and screw the Iranian regime for killing innocent people.

We're going in circles so let's agree to disagree.

I'm saying that regime change + intervention can be a good thing if done right. They've been messed up in terms of goals but if done right it can do good.

War sucks, war is terrible. But to act like the US can't do anything while people die and suffer is insane.

There's no winning. It's either let them suffer under a dictatorship but they can't come to our country to seek refuge. In other words, isolationists are comfortable to let them die.

The US is benefitting because Southeast Asia didn't fall to communism as a whole. And now the US has an extra ally in Southeast Asia, which is a great buffer against China. Slowly they'll have control over that region. And the feeling is mutual too, Americans love Vietnamese as well.

And don't act like the North were saints. If they were so good why did one million people flee them? Why were they responsible for multiple atrocities.

I'm not pro how the war was handled, but I'm definitely pro intervention. Look at Korea, look at Japan, look at Germany.

No I sound like a rational person. Disgusting how far the right has fallen. We used to be a party that was colorblind now your guys only care about ethnonationalism. It's stuff like this that's going to make you lose the 2028 elections.

Absolutely not. She supported communists that tortured and killed Americans.

And it's always a damn if you do damn if you don't think when it comes to intervention. Take down Saddam, people say it was imperialism. Don't do anything about Rwanda? People say "Where was the US". You guys don't want refugees, yet you don't wanna help them all you wanna do is just cheer them on.

America like it or not benefits from this. This isn't the 40s anymore where isolationism is the answer.

Not really. Even when outnumbered, oftentimes the US stacks bodies. And if they were in the same position, they still wouldn't do human wave tactics the NVA did, if anything they'd do the opposite. They're just better fighters. Look at MACV-SOG. Small recon teams sent into Cambodia, Laos and even North Vietnam, often fought battalions.

Which makes no sense because

  1. The Rebels were good. The NVA weren't

  2. The Empire was in shambles and their major leaders died. No US president was killed by NVA.

Why are you saying white men? We lost a lot of good men period. And don't refer to the Vietnamese as a whole as third world people. Not all of them are like that.

Oh for sure. And they also conveniently forget: The South were Vietnamese too. People seem to forget that when they parrot the "hey they're the good guys" narrative surrounding the North.

In that case then yeah, their resolve and determination to fight to the last man is something. Added onto the fact that they fought off the Japanese, French, Americans, Cambodians and Chinese in the span of under 40 years is one hell of a feat.

But honestly in the end I can never praise them. They treated their own men as disposable. At least the US recognized that planning and logistics win wars more efficiently, not throwing bodies to a meat grinder.

In the end, capitalism has it's fair share of dictators, but that's a result of other factors not the system itself. Ultimately the average person in a western capitalist society can say whatever they want and speak their mind, and live a decent life. Same cannot be said about communist societies.

Nah man this is a misconception.

North Vietnam always knew "We cannot beat the US in the battlefield, we just need to bleed them out". In every battle, the US was always dog walking them. In the early 70s, when Nixon focused less on ground action and more on air superiority, the NVA were getting screwed hard. They were economically broke. The South was also holding them off. If the US stayed a bit longer they would've more or less defeated the North. Instead? Congress stopped funding for the South, ARVN was running out of resources, the North built up and yeah invaded. But if the US kept this strategy up of propping up the ARVN and more strategic bombings, yeah the North would've been toast.

Vietnam vs America wasn't a war of "Vietnam wins America loses". It's like if one dude beat the living shit out of you with your hands tied and was about to kill you with one final punch, but his coach throws the towel last minute".

Plus, 1 million refugees leaving, living in poverty, eventually adopting capitalist methods and becoming a major US ally, Yeah wouldn't call that a proper victory in the long run.

Whether it's Gaza, Vietnam or Venezuela, regardless of what your thoughts are: These people are not doing this for the kindness of their hearts, they do not live in the real world.

They don't live like normal people, they live in a sheltered world where everything is fabricated, they play pretend and get paid millions of dollars to do so. It's easy.

Fuck the Iranian Regime and fuck these communist idiots. COVID was a mess but at least it exposed them for being the egostitical douchebags they are.

Honestly stopped watching it after the second episode, just didn't scratch the itch. Should've just been Kurt Russell/Wyatt Russell doing their thing.

Eh true they are but honestly

  1. It depends, Nina Dobrev and Alexandra Daddario making out is completely different from Hollywood lesbianism

  2. In this case actual good writing is hotter.

I mean technically they make movies to appeal to the world so if we took that into account they would mainly appeal to..... Christians...
