The last actually decent best picture winner was Gladiator. Everything since then has been total crap.

People throw around the word nazi too much thesedays. I get that everyone is miserable and angry and racked with mental health issues but referring to people as Nazis doesn't even sound that extreme anymore.

Do you have a better term for white supremacists that are quite literally throwing latinx children into camps in the desert?

The only reason far more chuds aren’t self-identifying as nazis or fascists is that WW2 was canonized as The Good War and so, in the US/UK/Russia/etc, being a nationalist who calls themself those words breaks the accepted national narrative.

American politicians are really weird. They're obsessed with politeness and cooperation. Like, someone from the opposition is talking and they just sit there and listen. And they're always going on about "bipartisanship" like as though that's a good thing; like "let's just focus on the things that are completely uncontroversial, we wouldn't want to hurt the feelings of our opponents." What are you doing? What do you think your job is?

What are you doing? What do you think your job is? I remember seeing footage of the UK parliament for the first time as a teenager and being blown away by how lively it was compared to Congress. All the booing and clapping and sick burns on the opposing side (or at least attempts at them)

sassassin posted:They need votes to do stuff. Yup. There's also issues with things like the filibuster; you need a lot of votes to say "no you can't filibuster that" in the Senate but neither party has enough. America is also so insanely polarized right now that you have people just declaring "everything the other side does is inherently bad so vote no on absolutely all of it no matter what." Whether you like it or not you need at least some cooperation from the other side to do anything. Politics in general also runs on a lot of unspoken agreements and stuff like "well if you vote with us on this thing we'll vote with you on this other thing." Increasingly it's just "do whatever we want or you hate America and babies and kittens and are also probably a Nazi."

The Republicans cleverly figured out that if you control the government, you can just do what you like and it doesn't matter what your opposing party wants. That has baffled Democrats, who think that the West Wing was a documentary and politics is about winning arguments and compromising.

What they did was weaponize procedure to be petty jerks about everything. Personally I'm utterly disgusted with both parties at the moment.

America is a one-party system that pretends to be a two-party system. "The other side is completely evil and irredeemably bad and must be opposed at all costs, no matter what."- Republicans "The other side is misguided, but we believe in our hearts they want the best for the people so we have to be grown-ups so we'll support some of the truly evil, heinous things they propose and then act shocked when they never ever reciprocate our attempts to not burn everything down as quickly."- Democrats Henchman of Santa posted:To perpetuate the system The one party and the system are both called Capital. There, American politics makes sense now.

Latin@ is pronounced “latinau”, also some spanish speakers use latine because it’s still neutral but sounds more natural in spanish.
