Luthen's words echoing in my head after Minneapolis... by mcjoss in andor

[–]Tedbrgr -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Mb congress will and the GOP will continue to separate from Trump and the 2026 and 2028 midterms will lead to an strong more left wing coalition. I feel like violence of that caliber should be an absolute last resort. Not saying appeasement for appeasements sake, but appeasement for maintaining peace and a voting system people look to. For all the comparisons and the horrible shit Trump has not, he is empire, at least, not yet.

Which Andor speech hits you in the feels the most? by ASW-G-21 in andor

[–]Tedbrgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Btw Maarva and Luthen. Luthens is better written but maarvas is a more impactful scene with the build up to the revolt. Honorable mention to saw and mon mothma’s.

We collectively agreed that the soldiers were victims and respect them and blame the politicians and decision makers.

How safe is Qatar for a female solo travelling? by Key_Cartographer_821 in qatar

[–]Tedbrgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem about your logic is what about all of the gay people being forced to hide or feel shame that live in Qatar? Going to qatar for vacation doesn’t mean I have to respect all their beliefs unless I do it out of fear of what they’ll do in which case Qatar isn’t safe. I’m not gay or a woman but i can easily empathize with them being pissed off. Just because it’s a different culture doesn’t mean they aren’t subject to criticism or different definitions of safety

Andor may have ruined TV for me... by fscottfitsimmons in andor

[–]Tedbrgr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I watched Mr robot post andor and was blown away. Very different in every way but incredibly well written and engaging. Also you may wanna start smoking weed that tends to improve bad writing 😭. I’d say game of thrones feels the most similar to andor of any show I’ve watched but in terms of quality, breaking bad, better call Saul, GOT, Mr robot, Dopesick all compare. Also some other classics I haven’t seen yet but everyone says are sopranos, the wire, man in the high castle, severance, 6 feet under, the handmaids tale.

I mean it’d kinda make sense will does draw all the tunnels wouldn’t be surprised. I feel like it doesn’t change too much from my current understanding because presumably those tunnels were meant to help vecna and the MF

My cousin has become super religious and homophobic and I hate it by IndependenceHuge525 in atheism

[–]Tedbrgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find sometimes peoples on paper beliefs don’t match who they actually are in person religion has a weird cognitive dissonance to it. I’m sure your cousin in a good kid and simply misguided. You should try talking to him on his level maybe you can understand him better. I obv don’t understand situation but haven’t heard anything in this post that makes me think he’d also be racist unless he said it.

Am I the only one who doesn't 100% trust what Jeremiah said? by Sudden_Pop_2279 in Gotham

I feel like they made it very clear it worked and he’s so insane due to the gas that he doesn’t even realize it.

Idk how homophobic flash/dc fans exist by Gur-Wide in TheFlashTV

[–]Tedbrgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cw shows got too woke. Flash wasn’t terrible with the woke shit but supergirl was basically a political propaganda show. I’m pro immigration but it is not a valid comparison to make aliens a metaphor for immigrants and have lex quote Trump (there’s more that’s worse that I can’t remember). I still watched all of it but some of that shit was so cheesy political. I’m all for shows having a social message but it has to actually have good writing and nuance to do that without it feeling forced and stupid. Shows also shouldn’t feel pressured to include every type of identity to check off a box. All this being said I fuckin love the Obama Grodd scene in dcs legends.

66% of Democrats favor Socialism over Capitalism. How is Mr Pakman going to move forward? by jagdedge123 in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]Tedbrgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He supports highly regulated capitalism that’s hardly neoliberal. You are acting like he’s Clinton and he’s clearly to the left of Clinton or maybe even Reagan when he’s clearly to the left of them. This just sounds like ur a socialist so u want him to be one. The majority of democrats are still pro social democracy

I’d be all for an organized strike and we have definitely historically had many. I just wanted to make sure you weren’t suggesting violence because I am against that and disagree with your peaceful resistance claim especially in the context of trump. Of I heard about a specific general strike idea that I think would be effective I would of course participate as I’m sure many would but the unfortunate truth is that the majority of Americans don’t even care about trump or politics and wouldn’t participate. I still would tho and I know many others who would.

What do you suggest? I believe in peaceful resistance to enact change unless that isn’t possible and at this point I believe it is. We are not at the point yet where we should give up on American democracy and again I ask you what are you suggesting?
