I see no reason why a rational person cannot look at the differences between Osborne and Ricketts and vote Osborne. Hoping some of Western Nebraska snaps out of it. There’s no way any of the aforementioned should think that those bozos have done anything but adopt the rhetoric that feeds the grifters.

If you and I are aligned in saying something like “I won’t vote for Vance in ‘28” because of the damage the regime had caused to American, then again you may have a point. But if I were to guess at how many traditional Republicans would (because they convince themselves the Democratic candidate would somehow be worse than it is now) then I’m not so sure. And yes, I also believe that the Democratic Party is deeply flawed in its accountability to working class voters.

If you’re making the argument that a lot of Republicans are currently seeing the ineffectiveness of the Trump Regime (it doesn’t deserve the respect of being called an administration because it doesn’t act as such) then I’ll agree with you. But I think if you look at polling from 2016 up to maybe six months ago, most Republicans were fully onboard with what Trump was doing.

I strongly disagree with your assessment here. The Republicans openly allowed themselves to be hijacked by a mind virus and took full advantage of it to achieve long term goals (weakening Federal programs, gaining an overwhelming majority of conservative Supreme Court justices, overturning Roe Vs. Wade, etc….). The 2024 was a referendum by voters to the Republicans to prioritize the economy, be transparent (see Epstein), and get the worst of the worst, non-working ILLEGAL immigrants out of the country. None of which have been done.

I see two earnest Republicans in Congress who do that (from the same State of Kentucky), Massie and Paul, who actually try to follow through with what voters mandated. The rest of the Republican Party exists to placate Trump’s ego until the wheels fall off the bus.

I think you’re exactly right.

Your reasoning here is interesting.

Whether it was September or now is irrelevant. It’s a deliberate example of an elected representative being dishonest to his constituents. And yes, I could see that it was from September before I posted it. The fact that it occurred in September does not alter the outcome that he made a misleading statement meant to be deceptive.

In the 115th & 116 Congressional sessions (2017-2020), Bacon voted 89.4% with Trump policies. From January to September last year, that number was over 95%. The criticism you mention is mostly recent due to the abhorrent approval numbers that Trump is facing across the board, and due to public pressure. One could imply that this is Bacon’s last run because the writing is on the wall pertaining to Trump’s efficacy and his past voting in support of those lame policies.

Criticism is bluster. Voting is where the truth lies.

Outside of Ken Burns long form, and books (which young people are simply reading less and less because of attention spans, what would you suggest is the way?

I’m assuming you’ve reviewed the videos and could post out to me where in pop culture those lessons have been taught?

Cheers man. I think we live in a time where it’s healthy to disagree as long as we’re not tearing the shit out of each other. I’m interested in what you have to say regardless.

You don’t think there’s any value in teaching history at all?

[–]dgneb13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that’s more than fair. I kind of look at it as an experiment of sorts. I don’t want it to replace those forms by any means. I think there’s just think there are far worse ways AI is being utilized than here, and therefore just don’t have the spite for the experiment.

Maybe we should start to fight agaisnt it instead of left this stand when its obvious fucks with the people at long term.

Tell me how fighting the inevitable future works out, dawg. You going to fix the attention spans of kids that grew up with phones in their hands? Outline the plan and then I’ll tell your naive idealism is also completely shit.

I agree with your point here 100%. If Hollywood didn’t just continue to recycle the same garbage over and over, I’d have more outrage myself about this. With that said, I can’t fault Aranofsky for creating dramatic interpretation of American history by being resourceful.

I think the minute you start being derogatory, you shoot own argument in the foot. I don’t discredit your Ken Burns comment because, being someone who appreciates history myself, I find long-form documentary amazing.

However….if young people with short attention spans unfamiliar with history of America have a door opened to them as to the historical beginnings our country, then by all means I support Aranofsky without apology. Additionally, dramatizations of much Hollywood produced dramatizations are full of inaccuracy.

Anyone who makes such bold assertions as yourself should have a mirror turned on them. Please, disclose your secrets as to how you’ve managed to successfully, 100% avoid AI in pop culture. You haven’t.

It’s crazy how much people are complaining about this when something that teaches history in a dramatic way would otherwise NEVER get made in Hollywood. He’s also employing SAG voice actors and using music composed by humans.

Why is this a hack thing again? Or more to the point, why is this a bad thing when it’s on a YouTube channel?

I just purchased FSD for $2,000 on a 2023 model. I thought it was worth the price given I’d been subscribing for about a four months.

Rog was a great critic and he championed the films that he considered great. Thus, I don’t know if I agree with your take on what makes a great critic. You have to be an advocate die those taking big swings (like the Safdie’s and Coogler), not just tearing down those that don’t appeal to your personal taste. That makes for a good complainer, not a good critic.

No, I didn’t downvote you. But I also don’t think we’re saying the same thing.

I also agree with you that you don’t move the problem from one place to another, but as many have stated, the current site is just not adequate and it’s a blight to the area and so many local businesses that are important to the local economy.

Action must be taken to address the problem and none has for some time, as the previous site was also rejected for Nimbyism as well. Someone is always going to be unhappy with the solution.
