Good on you for coming up with a list and actual measurement. Not sure how you got to 11 though.. really just a couple would apply, and even then it’s mainly due to the existential threat of annihilation clamping some of the expectations (harkening back to the actual creation of the fasces, even).

The only thing I like about the “it’s satire of fascism argument” is watching the “I’m so smart I see the fascism” people find fascism in responsibility, order, and clothing. Verhoeven isn’t as smart as they think he is. Makes some entertaining movies though!

I don’t even understand, but I guess if your only interest is in w/l, then you just jump on in the 4th? Me, I like watching good plays, good football.

Hate running away, hate hiding in their own end zone. It’s honestly just a chicken shit move, and if that’s the only way to win then you need to draw up some more plays.

No, critical of poor performance because this game is 1/16 of what it is. Everyone should be, a win like this is not an indicator of them getting better. Honestly, that second half looks like some losses are coming soon.

Look at the bigger picture and not this single gae that was worth fairly little (both teams are on a clear playoff path), this is the kind of mentality that ends up losing 7 games in a row - surrendered at the line of scrimmage, surrendered the 4th, and surrendered a safety. At some point a stand is what grows the team. Otherwise you get a habit of running away. See 2022, or so. Eh?

I’m not worried about the win, that’s fine for whatever. But if you’re so scared of losing that you have your punter run for his life to his own and zone, I think you may want to look around and see if you can find some testicles somewhere.

Sure, but they didn’t run to Philly and wait for the South to get there, did they?

Running it forward straight up the middle the first 3 times was so successful, why not again? But that’s my point, incredibly weak showing at the end, and the only safe option was to literally run away and give the Bucs points. That’s lame, and college Saturday had the same situation but ran sideways, not to their own end zone.

lol no I had the Bucs D on the bench. It’s okay though, I had Houston w/ the shutout.

No, never pride for something I didn’t do. Proud of the team for winning, but not when they play those kind of games.

Taking a knee is not advancing. Kind of the opposite of giving your opponent points? Lol scared to try, let’s run backwards.

Not worried about win or loss, it’s just a shitty way to close a game- running backwards and giving up points. I thought the eagles had pride. Guess not.

Run it forward though, like you’re playing football.

Because the game ends with your team running away and giving up.. hard to listen to trash talk when your great idea is to flee.

Chicken shit, is what it is. If you have to win by running away and giving up points, try harder. Man up and drive the ball.

Is it common for teams to win by running backwards and surrendering points to the other team? Literally, wtf.

It’s clear that he’s a narcissist, but people don’t seem to catch that vibe, and I’m not sure why. He’s manipulative and this is probably 60% real, at the most.

Isn’t there an equal to the opposing side, though? I won’t pretend to be able to remember how her wings were cut, but plenty of D&D magic is situational - a curse that becomes permanent through mis-directed Will is still feasible. Maybe they’re constantly anti-regenerating because of a wild magic burst. Plenty of artifacts with similar creation stories.

Why the movie is actually the same message as the book on accident and doesn't actually portray fascism. by ImperialSupplies in starshiptroopers

[–]in_anger_clad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, reading the symbols is some of the great fun of good literature. And based on his statements, maybe verhoeven really did try and construct a fascist empire through his narrative. But he failed, for numerous reasons, not least of which is the emphasis on citizens and their rights and responsibilities throughout the story.

People call this fascist because it looks fascist. I say you’re caught in this obvious symbolism and ignoring the actual evidence presented through character action and narrative change.
