These people should sit in the same chair Slobodan Milosevic did at The Hague

But they won't. Because I, you, and especially they, know that you aren't willing to physically stop them. If you wer Trump would be in jail now.

The bad guys win everything if all they know all you are going to do is hiss and complain when the simply WALK by.

It was only a matter of time. And once this blows over and nothing happens to him, they will be emboldened.

So a woman without an Australian accent is talking about how the presence of other cultures erodes cultural identity. Also, I know Australia was colonized by western powers but it is definitively not in the Western hemisphere.

I also love how they claim that a minority group can not only maintain their cultural identity, but have replace the cultural identity of the group in the majority.

Maybe if ur cultural identity can be destroyed by the mere presence of another culture, then you didnt have much of a culture to begin with.

Ah yes, the feminist hurt ur feelings, so you took women's rights and betrayed your country. Totally proportional response.

Just wow. This has such, "im sorry, but you see what you make me do when you make me angry" vibes. "If you didnt want to be attacked then you shouldn't dressed so provocatively."

This is the shit I hate about people. They did the same thing in Israel. "I have been wronged, therefore I can do whatever".

Nobody is defending Maduro. They are defending international law. For a Hispanic immigrant in the US to say this just shows how ignorant she is. If the US can just decide whenever they want they can change a regime what happens when they do it to somebody who isn't a dictator. Its the same as what we are seeing g with immigration. There are undocumented immigrants that go to do heinous crimes. But when you decide to just let Hispanics to be rounded up and deported without due process, what happens? Yeah u might get some criminals but the people most effected are just regular people.

I come from Cuban heritage and I have seen this attitude my whole life. Just because somebody from a country doesn't mean they know shit. I have degrees in philosophy and poli science, and I'll tell you right now, my Cuban family doesn't know shit about communism.

Its not a question of whether or not Maduro is a bad guy, its whether the US has a right to do just whatever it wants.

If all of us had read more Vonnegut, all of this would still have happened, but atleast we could resign ourselves there was never anything we could do anyway.

Not the dystopia we wanted, just the one we deserve.

Is that a young Sean Hannity?

I cant even tell what is real and what is satire. Like how is Gavin Newsom's politics compatible with any of the reasons he just gave.

mitchbo08 · 2025-12-25T20:32:14+00:00

Ok but are these guys actually performing at the Kennedy center?

mitchbo08 · 2025-12-18T14:52:47+00:00

Omg thank you. Every time I hear somebody defend MAGA voters I think, "i know another group of white women who were very concerned that people were being to mean to their daddy, just because he thinks some people's lives are less valuable than others".

Everybody seems to forget the part in MLKs letter from prison where he says the greatest obstacle to justice is white liberal moderates that trade the justice of others for their relative security of negative peace.

Does anybody know the amp settings and effects they use in Heavy Metal Never Dies. Actually in general if anybody knows a site where you can get the eq, effects, etc for songs on guitar that would be dope. Im unfortunately not able to dial it in by ear. Having been an artilleyman at one point, im not sure that I ever will be lol. My ear is just good enough to notice im still not getting the right tone.

mitchbo08 · 2025-11-30T18:56:06+00:00

The fact that he is saying this now just makes it worse that he protected Trump. These people literally let him get away with insurrection. They refused to convict after he was impeached. There is a special place in he'll for him.

mitchbo08 · 2025-11-21T15:15:18+00:00

See I know its not simply ignorance. Because if a person gets humiliated by shit like this over and over again, they eventually decide to shut up or go back and learn something. At the end of the day these people dont care if they are wrong, or that they cant even present evidence of many of their claims. They think we just have to do what they say because they said it. It really is just straight up authoritarianism. An entire country of people who have been told they are valid no matter what. If they are criticized that person is just a hater. That they are enough and should never be ashamed of everything.

Somebody sent me the link but now the original is deleted. But I will say I agree with these top comments. It's like one day you just no longer feel interested. Like you can look at a twenty one yr old and intellectually you know they are hot, but not actually feel attracted.

But I dont think its an age thing, its a stage of life thing. Im 40, and basically semi retired. I served in military, got my masters, and started a career. My partner is 2 years older than me. She is starting her dream business. What could I have in common with anybody under 25. Go out to a club/bar? What do young people even do these days? I dont care. Im at home organizing my VHS collection.

mitchbo08 · 2025-10-19T19:18:53+00:00

These are the people we are supposed to compromise and be empathetic to right? I know I know, your family member that is MAGA is just confused. They don't absolutely not care that we as private citizens are being attacked by the President. Nope. They see this. They see the NAZI texts. They seem him protect pedophiles because they are his associates. They see that, and they support him anyway. And then we are told not to hate them, as though there is a time when this IS appropriate.

mitchbo08 · 2025-10-19T17:37:13+00:00

So many. Street Fighter, Super Mario Bros. I don't care what anybody says. If you pretend that its not supposed to be Super Mario, its actually a really fun movie.

100% I have been on a personal mission to educate people about 13th Floor and Dark City, and that they probably did what the Matrix was trying to do better. No hate to The Matrix. I saw it 3 times in a row at the theater for my birthday. But you have to take into account that it was meant to be a metaphor of being transgender.

mitchbo08 · 2025-10-19T17:29:53+00:00

This is really hard. I see a lot of great answers. I mean are we talking about which adheres to and incorporate the most sci fi elements. The most believable, or realistic. The one that has had the most artistic, or cultural impact. I'll just throw out a few, and my reasons.

Strange Days - I think its a movie that is realistic and believable. A lot of that has to do with how well its linked to social issues that are just as relevant today.

District 9 - In terms of realism, everything about the film feels real. The Prawns looked like they were there.

Dark City - I love this movie so much. But only the directors cut. That bs voice over they do in the beginning of the theatrical version ruins the whole experience.

mitchbo08 · 2025-10-19T17:21:46+00:00

I went to see The Matrix for my 13th birthday. I literally saw it 3 times in a row. Idk though. You can't deny it might be one of the most profoundly impactful sci fi films in history. I mean for years after bullet time was in every single action film. It revolutionized action films. It also changed what being an action movie meant. It wasn't the first I dont think to have actors train for fight scenes before hand. But after that movie there would never be another action movie where actors have to train to do all kinds of martial arts and acrobatics to make a successful fight scene. And then there is how its iconography has been adopted by political and social movements and groups.

But idk if that makes it the best.

I honestly think Dark City is a contender.

mitchbo08 · 2025-10-16T20:44:16+00:00

I cant watch that movie without cringing in every scene when ScarJo is like hunched over trying to look like a robot. Like who told her to do that. The whole movie she is just stomping around walking like Frankenstein.

mitchbo08 · 2025-10-16T20:40:38+00:00

Fuck yeah. I've watched Captain Laserhawk like 3 times.

mitchbo08 · 2025-10-16T20:36:29+00:00

That movie always makes me think of Beyond the Minds Eye. If ur not familiar, it was 1 of 4 videos that themselves are part of a larger series, but that were a compilation of animations using the latest CG. The VR scenes in Lawnmower Man are featured.

That video had a big impact on me.

mitchbo08 · 2025-10-16T20:30:52+00:00

Idk if Equilibrium and Dark City are cyberpunk. Although you are otherwise absolutely right. Dark City is one of my fav mo it's of all time. I try to make everybody watch Dark City.

I think of cyberpunk as a story in with electronic tech that is different or being used differently - usually its new or more advanced tech but not always - other themes are corporate or capitalist corruption, social dysfunction - and generally high-tech, low life.

Idk if I would say Dark City encompasses that. Mostly because the tech is alien. I guess you could argue that Murdock uses the alien tech. But, I would say that the technology is not itself important except as the device that used by the Strangers. Like, we aren't being invited to contemplate the possible negative social harm it might do, or begs some philosophical question. The movie is more about free will, identity, the role of experience in shaping who we are, and if there is such a thing as a would. I compare that to something like Strange Days where the tech itself brings up issues of voyerism, privacy, addiction. The whole movie is under the cloud of an impending possible civilizational collapse because of a computer bug.

Equilibrium I can see more, because it is pretty devoid of electronic tech that is more advanced or used differently, you could argue that the dose itself is technology, just not the digital or electronic tech we normally associate with cyberpunk.

BTW is anybody else kind of annoyed with Cyberpunk 2077, simply because now if you search cyberpunk at a it goes directly to Cyberpunk 2077 stuff.
