its weird going back to top gun 2 after rewatching 1. The latter movie treats the first movie with the same reverence that the second Ghostbusters reboot treated the first one with.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Being a mentally ill social reject in England is actually a good thing, and the fact that Australia tries to deny its heritage in favor of pretending to be Tropical England is why it's stuck in a cultural morass.

Fact: all current white English people are descended from those too scared or stupid or not criminal enough to get out of England during the 17th-20th centuries

Ancient philosophwray conceived of Australians as having one giant foot which they raise up to shield their naked bodies from the scorching sun and as such, having no means of locomotion, as being capable of subsisting off photosynthesis.

herbert hoover met with hitler and they talked a lot so if you're gonna blame a president for the nazis that's probably the best one

https://sci-hub.ru/https://www.jstor.org/stable/41212096

wait, what the gently caress?

quote:

The three days of Herbert Hoover's presence in Berlin coincided with a great crisis that Hitler had to face, a milestone in his career and in the history of Europe. He was on the verge of deciding whether to march into Austria, or to enforce the Nazification of Austria by other means. That was the first time that he would change the map of Europe, moving across frontiers, conquering or incor- porating a neighboring independent country. He had put all kinds of pressures on Austria during the previous weeks. But on the very day he met Hoover, Hitler became informed that the Austrian Chancellor Schuschnigg was about to thwart his plans by a desperate move.

Canada's prime minister wanted to gently caress Hitler.

This is documented in his personal journal.

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/he-loves-flowers-the-insane-true-story-of-the-day-canadas-prime-minister-met-hitler posted:

[Canadian prime minster William Lyon Mackenzie King] was striding into one of the darkest hours in Canadian diplomatic history. Hitler would fool many on his path to orchestrating the Second World War, but few more thoroughly than the envoy of Canada.

“As I talked with him, I could not but think of Joan of Arc,” wrote King in his diary that night.

The entry overflowed with pages of near-infatuation for Hitler. The German leader was “eminently wise,” a “mystic,” a “deliverer of his people from tyranny.”

King went into obsessive detail about Hitler’s background, his vegetarianism, his love of nature, his alleged religiousness. He remembered every detail from the meeting: How Hitler positioned his hands, what he was wearing, his “knowing smile” and his “smooth” skin.

King was well aware of Hitler's wishes to exterminate the Jews and supported it. He also regularly held seances with his dead mother or dead dog and took political advice from them.

He is also the longest serving prime minister in Canadian history.
