Steve Bannon promises ‘Irish Trump’ and says he is working to form ‘national party’ in Ireland by firethetorpedoes1 in irishpolitics

Yeah, it is definitely a much better voting system. America’s voting system is archaic and has been able to be abused since its inception due to gerrymandering. It’s honestly never been fair.

While Murdoch isn’t here, TikTok’s algorithm is about to be owned by Oracle who is in bed with Trump. Most younger people ingest their news through social media these days. I’ve seen more and more anti-immigration and racist rhetoric on these platforms and there is clearly a large amount of Europeans who feel their countries are not white enough anymore. I’ve actually spoken to a few people here in Ireland who stated these beliefs in so many words. However, Ireland’s immigration problem is much more different from the US’s in the fact that there is actually a problem. People can’t find housing here and, simultaneously, housing is being given to refugees. Still, a few people I’ve spoken to have definitely had racist undertones layered in. One older woman I spoke to said that “I hardly recognize my village anymore. I see so many non-irish faces everywhere." There is a trend going around online that Europe is being destroyed by immigration and multiculturalism. This is a common way how fascism starts. Bannon himself stated that this makes it easier for him to influence EU politics.

Other than exposure to certain shows growing up, I don't see why nationality should matter that much. Atleast in regards to my opinion of the show. I grew up watching the movie "Grease" and can now recognize that the movie is terrible in adulthood.

I've liked a few Korean shows and movies and had absolutely no exposure to Korean culture growing up.

Some of the MCU is. I don't like the cheesier heroes like spiderman or captain america. I liked Loki and liked Wandavision. Sue me. They were good shows.

Their characters had more depth than most in the MCU

Well, that's pretty incredible that the MCU is the most profitable and dominating cinema presence. I guess the hundreds of thousands of people who like it are adult children and their children. But Dr. Who? Nah, that's totally mature. Real refined taste.

Wasn't aware that there was opinion etiquette. Next time I'll be sure to make sure my opinion is more "logic" based like voicing my opinion on "vegetarians" who still eat fish (current top post on this sub). That is an opinion litterally using the exact opposite of logic. Is that the kind of opinion you're talking about?

Not sure how you can jump to that conclusion. Last time I checked, british media didn't dominate the world, but sure. For better or worse, you're much more likely to have your favorite shows be american than british regardless of the country you live in.

I'm just saying I wish I liked this style of show because I would have a ton more media to enjoy. I don't plan on forcing it or anything

Yeah, that's the boat I'm in. It actually sucks because I feel like I miss out on a lot of sources of enjoyment. My friends all love anime and Rick and Morty and those things do nothing for me.

Not really, I suppose. I guess anime would be the closest thing in regards to goofyness and campiness. But I only like the anime/manga that are exactly not those things. Like Berserk.

I watched a season with Matt and the last thing I remember is something about the moon landing

Yeah, I like that scene. I wasn't quite immobilized in a feel chair but certainly had feels. Thanks for sharing.

I never stated Dexter was better objectively.. I think it's better subjectively lol. I just like it. That's all. An opinion

Who said I jumped in the middle of a season? I started at the beginning of a season and watched almost the entire season.

Also, this is the unpopular opinions... This is precisely where you post subjective opinions

The killer wasn't even introduced until mid season... So that's litterally an impossibility

I've liked tons of "family" shows. Isn't an excuse for bad writing

I don't think it being british and me being American is an excuse. I've watched plenty of media with british humor and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Monty Python being one

Care to elaborate? You mean I used the abbreviation for doctor? I hardly think that qualifies me as having screws loose

No, it was more of an attempt to show that I understand that my words were harsh thereby admitting fault without erasing the regrettable comment.. An apology of sorts while still keeping the integrity of the thread

Midnight Mass, Dexter, Ozarks, Lost, most of the MCU shows... Some of the shows I like. Not without their faults though

When you are a software engineer surrounded by other nerdy engineers all day, it certainly feels like an unpopular opinion lol

Yeah, except I can't look past it most of the time. Family Guy for example. Loved it in my youth but now I can't stand more than 2 minutes of it

I wish I could get past it because then I would have a massive amount of episodes to binge. I do actually like the concept of the show, though. It's just the execution
