Me laughing and about to save this meme to post on hexbear

I’m already on hexbear

Yeah that title terrified me for a solid minute there

Cope

And this is why North Korea has nukes

Libs watch movies about oppressed or colonized minorities (like in Frozen 2 or total recall) and then side with the colonizers or oppressors in real life

*Macron’s teacher visits an old friend in China

It’s funny how almost 20 million people less than in 2020 voted this time around (most of the missing voters being on the dem side too); people are beginning to realize we don’t really have a say

Skeletor, we want to vote for you so Vance doesn’t win, but stop supporting Hordak destroying Eternia

Skeletor: Hordak has a right to defend himself

That still doesn’t change the fact that China is persecuting Uyghurs in the Xinjiang province.

But it’s not a fact though? You can’t imagine up some fictional scenario and then just claim it’s a fact; words have meanings

Alternatively I eagerly wait for the day South Korea suffers more under the yoke of the Samsung corporation in the form of a cyberpunk future, where people have Samsung TVs cybernetically installed on their heads and have like Samsung universal remotes installed in their hands; “But they can’t see those TVs!” you cry; it doesn’t matter, it’s cyberpunk baybee! Chest installed Samsung laundry machines!

Um, for those of us only just now finding out about this situation, what’s the AI issue here? Did they pirate some of Dana’s work with their AI, or is she inherently opposed to AI and Disney is just using it in general and that’s why she’s angry?

Full details: some people glean implications from people’s posts, I just want to clarify: I don’t care about AI, I’m just lost on what’s happening here (I only just discovered Dana Terrace exists after only just recently watching the owl house and being told about her other works, so I’m curious about if her stuff is being pirated by Disney via whatever AI stuff they’re doing)

The way the stories are depicted they always dehumanize the invaded populations; after soldiers kill freedom fighters (who are always depicted as the bad guys), they also show civilians who get caught up and then the marine has a little breakdown over it, or has to hide his pain, or even that the civilians may have been trying to protect the fighter because he was family to them, and basically the story is told in a way to make you want to make excuses for the soldier. Meanwhile real soldiers are more like Platner who go back for multiple tours and talk about how they like infantry combat, or the people who brutalize the population at a level just beneath getting them legal consequences.

I would say we need a new red dawn movie from the perspective of the Soviet (DPRK in the modern one) troops to get the message across, something that probably rips off a famous war movie that most have seen, to really hammer home how ridiculous modern war movies are but truthfully? I do genuinely think too many people are far too obtuse to understand; also every now and then a lib cracks and admits he believe our troops are good people while Russian troops are bad people.

Perhaps what we also really need are movies from the perspective of the freedom fighters, but forget depicting them in a sympathetic light; depict them like Rambo, kicking butt and taking dogtags/names, and the troops in a similar depiction as the Persians in 300.

You should check what’s been happening recently; villains in all the anime have been renamed ‘Hamas’ and characters who disagree with the protagonist have all been renamed ‘Hamas supporter’

but it’s a valid analogy

Almost; the added context that unfortunately breaks it is that this would have to be on the eve of a war with a comparative superpower that is leagues superior to America and having to hope that you aren’t arming subversive forces who’ll turn on you in this one sided war; then there’s also that this superpower would have crafted a rival political group that both it and the superpower accept as the legitimate government (so like if Democrats said the election was rigged and they were the real winners, and the superpower treated it as fact). Trump isn’t stupid enough to do that; basically no one is; for example this national police force would also need to number high enough to be of any value in war, and this many people easily allows for subversive forces.

Heck, in the real world you have leftist youtubers infiltrating these groups all the time.

The idea is too crazy for the analogy to be valid; you’d have to dumb everything way too down for it to work.

Edit: actually for that matter, there’s no one in America that seriously wants to actually militarily overthrow Trump, which is the ludicrous claims about Maduro.

Libs would first have to understand that ‘dictator’ is a nonsense term and that they’re being lied to about Maduro, but any visit to reddit indicates it’ll never happen (and I don’t recommend visiting reddit; it hurts my brain reading the nonsense they spout over there, let alone the unabashed racism)

But I thought Maduro was a dictator; wouldn’t giving his people guns and training them to use it mean he’s creating a militia hostile to him in his own country?

If only there was a lib who could finagle an explanation for me for why this still tracks.

Guessing they couldn’t think of a way of finagling Russian in there too

I remember having an argument about the little mermaid movie years ago; the guy was complaining that a black lady was cast and I had to ask: “what do you care? You’re not gonna watch it”; he looked stunned for a second and then said “yeah but still…”, to which I had to reiterate “WHAT DO YOU CARE? YOU’RE NOT GONNA WATCH IT!”

Like why are grown men complaining about it at all?! We’re not the target demographic!

Oh look, the same people who don’t care about the deliberate starvation of people in Gaza are allowing people to starve back home.

Almost like that claim (Arendt? Ta-nehisi Coates?) said about that if they don’t care about genocide, why would they care about you?
