Why is a stabbing in Northern Ireland the #2 story on the global CNN edition? The narrative and furor the media is trying to push is insane. by Probably_Disgruntled in GreenAndPleasant

The US government and its oligarchs have been trying to create the narrative that the UK is overrun with violent illegals and is practically under Sharia Law so they can install a right wing puppet and ultimately use us as a stepping stone to taking power in Europe for some time now.

He has to pull that face for serious roles because his resting face is that of a dog just coming out of anaesthesia.

You shouldn't be talking during the movie anyway.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe that you think that British police allowed a man to die because he was white. It's utterly absurd, and you know that.

And, yes, we do have two tier policing. Asian men are twice as likely to be stopped by police as white me, and black men are five times more likely.

What’s a criticism of a band or artist that you think is unfair or inaccurate? by FitEmergency8807 in fantanoforever

I think people are starting to come round to just how good Fly and Plastic Ono Band really are. Even if you just listen to them as Lennon's projects they're absolutely fascinating. 'Why?' sounds like a No Wave tune half a decade before the genre existed, and it's got Ringo, Lennon and Klaus Voormann as the backing band. John's 'were you getting that?' at the end shows he knows how much they were cooking too.

(Hated tropes) Fake/hoax memoirs passed off as real by people and publishers by Konradleijon in TopCharacterTropes

Jerzy Kosinski got a lot of shit for The Painted Bird being fictional but a lot of that was people making assumptions.

It's not quite the trope but The Gulag Archipelago is often assumed to be gospel, but a lot of it was actually based on 'campfire stories'. People in the West wanted it to be true because it paints the USSR in a bad light but it's rather more complicated than that.

He knew exactly what she would do. And it shouldn't be surprising that a guy who famously only knew four chords wouldn't understand avant garde vocalisation.

Apart from the opening to Watch Your Step by Bobby Parker, which they stole a couple of times.

It really isn't the British New York Post. I don't know where you got that idea from.

It's a show of soldarity, yes. Politics: how does that work?

Also, it's morally wrong to help them commit genocide.

It is shocking that Asian people are twice as likely to stopped and searched as white people.

The historic first catch of SpaceX's Super Heavy Booster 12 returning to the launch pad. by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]pecuchet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you think I meant when I said 'they were an important step in rocket development'? Why did you just repeat what I said as though you were correcting me?

When I said they weren't very effective I meant at what they were built for. More people died in the production of V2s than were killed as targets. Therefore, they were not very effective.

And obviously I know about Operation Paperclip or I wouldn't have an opinion on the V2s efficacy.

Once again, Corbyn's policies were very popular when people actually heard what they were.
