Richard Garriot once gave me this challenge coin. That is the beginning and end of my weird coin collections.

BENGHAZI 2 posted:Because the people who are mad about socialism won't vote for him regardless of what he says Being from Scandinavia I notice that the right and the left in the US often have the wrong impressions of how things work here. We are closer to being socialist than the US and the word socialist doesn’t have the same negative meaning here, but we are still just capitalist economies, just with bigger welfare systems. It probably wouldn’t make a huge difference, but if you could grab some extra votes by explaining that you don’t want socialism, but simply a better version of capitalism, why not do it?

Apparently Miller also found out EVS and company were making fun of him behind his back. I'm sure this sparks the exact same amount of empathy and/or sympathy in you as it does me.

If you've read anything Lindeloff has said this is 100% the case. He's a rich white guy who's totally out of touch. Him thinking that thirty years of a liberal president would be enough to fix the cops and make it so police and white supremacists aren't a Venn diagram that's just a single circle is proof enough of that even discounting all the incredibly dumb stuff he's been saying lately.

With a minority managing to break 20k views, and a very rare few above 30k. As far as far-right YouTuber grifters go, he has some pretty piss-poor numbers.

The second episode has the police force arrest an entire trailer park in retaliation without any evidence while the chief of police was revealed to have a klan hood, so I'd love to hear how you came to that conclusion

Squidster posted:Much like how it's arguably impossible to film an anti-war film, I think it's impossible to make an anti-cop show where the cops are the protagonists. Even corruption and reckless cruelty looks powerful and cool. People do argue that but I've always felt that it's a manifestly incorrect argument that only really sort of holds up if you limit what you're talking about to, like, a super specific vision of the "war movie" as a genre. Nobody is going to walk out of Come and See or Threads with a hankering for war. Salo's a war movie, le petit soldat is a war movie, etc..

Both the All Quiet on the Western Front book and movie directly addresses the "glory" of war quite well, and I don't see how anyone can watch the movie and think "was looks amazing"

Critical thinking in the form of media criticism is a learned thing, not an inherent thing, and it's also not a mandatory part of education in America (it should be). This leads to a lot of people missing the point constantly despite you thinking it's so god drat blatantly obvious.
