If you are the type of Christian that thinks the book of revelations is going to occur in our lifetime, Israel needs to exist so God can destroy it. Also wanting the Jews to get out of America and go to their own country is an idea that appeals to anti-semites.

Yeah I mean, supporting Israel so it can be Jesus' landing pad is really just using Jews as a commodity for you own weird cult. It's basically the "I know black people." of anti-semitism.

They believe that all the Jews in Israel are going to Hell after the rapture anyway, it's just a piece of the puzzle they need to fulfill the prophecy. I already know all the stuff you guys are saying, but they still hate Jews so it's still peculiar that they idolize Walter in the way they do.

It’s ok because Walter isn’t a real Jew (ethnically); he’s converted so he could reconvert back to good old Catholicism. Then he wouldn’t be a stinking Jew anymore!

My favorite bit with Walter is him gently correcting the dude’s “oriental” with “please, dude, the preferred nomenclature is Asian American,” and his admiration of the Viet Cong as “a worthy loving adversary.”

Yeah the John Milius school of conservativism veers more toward the hyper-libertarian. How much that's really just a Trojan horse for all the usual bugbears of the GOP is debatable, maybe.

What I mean is I think they (might) get it the same way those military dudes understand that Apocalypse Now is supposed to be anti-war. They just don't care. People attach to things and characters that are supposed to be the bad all the time, like people seemed to do with Kilmonger in Black Panther. Like a major thing I learned from this forum was letting my own feelings and experiences inform how I felt about particular media, sometimes regardless of what its creators intended.

Man, VRV is so much fun. It’s pretty badly organized, but I never know what I’m gonna find. Heavy Metal Parking Lot? A bunch of Nikkatsu Noirs? An animation VFX showcase reel from 1982? It’s just a wild array.

The better example is when Ted Cruz said that Homer Simpson is what republicans aspire to be. I'm not sure if he's just that stupid and awful or he's never actually watched the Simpsons, because Jesus Christ the only tv character I could think of as a worse idol would be Dennis Reynolds.

Even if you're some fiercely pro-military patriot I can't even begin to fathom what about that movie would make someone think joining the Marines is at all a positive experience.

He would rant about Jews running Hollywood and all that poo poo but then he'd be super supportive of Israel. I asked him how he could reconcile being a massive anti-semite while supporting Israel and his response was "Israel is where Jesus is going to reemerge". This was like 15 years ago and it was my first exposure to this idiocy. Name post combo

Incidentally a selfish, belligerent, willfully ignorant, abusive alcoholic who basically slid through the cracks and has been successful in life because of white privilege is not only spot on for the GOP but such an incredible self own that I don't think you could come up with anything better if you wanted to make fun of these people.

There's a guy in my area that does this Simpsons bar trivia thing and I went to a few of them and it was fun the first couple times, but it gets increasingly awkward for all the reasons you'd expect and this most recent time I felt like I might cringe myself to death and I'm not sure I'll be going back.
