The Guardians of the Galaxy movies should be stand alone, and unconnected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They have a universe and setting that is large enough and cool enough and fun enough to justify its own franchise without attaching it to the MCU. If anything, being attached to the MCU is a detriment. Its going to be so lame when the Guardians finally meander their way to Earth and mix it up with Captain America or Iron Man. I'd rather they just be their own thing. When I was a kid I remember watching the Silver Surfer cartoon in the late 90s. It got canceled but I loved it. It scratched that weird space opera itch. Thats what I want GotG to be. Just let them have bizarre psychedelic space adventures with warring planets and living planets and cosmic gods and immortal beings.

It's been said before, and I may be biased as a suthna, but for the most part jastiger's opinions and the whole "nuke the south" meme actually mean "nuke minorities and poor people, they are so dumb"

The confederacy sucked, modern southern state governments suck, but y'all realize that for a government to suck it needs people to oppress?

Bless jastiger's heart

Nah it actually means people that lionize a region and country that sought to trample human rights and championed ignorance over education and progress.

The data doesnt lie. The South consistently holds the United States and wherever non-Southern states have issues its because they mimic the Southern idiocy.

Take away all electoral votes and Senators from the South.

Normal adults don't care what Disney is doing/making unless they have children who watch it. When I hear people my age obsessing about what their favorite songs were in the latest disney movie and how they saw it 5 times in the theater last week, I know to keep my distance.

Disney sucks because now everyone else will try to replicate their formula. It's why Universal is doing the Frankenstein/Wolfman/The Mummy shared universe movies. And there's the DC abortions too. At least Disney movies are made competently but the imitators are so bad.

Dude if the poorest blacks voted and had their votes counted the South would be far far less lovely. Those states have intentionally made it harder for those folk to vote so we have disproportionate representation of white fuckers that make everything suck.

Black people overwhelmingly voted for Clinton. Like 90%. Just because this is where a lot of them live doesn't mean they have enough political power to achieve anything alone. White people swung the last election almost singlehandedly.

Our elected officials at the federal level absolutely couldn't care less about them. The majority of them live in urban areas and our senators know they've just gotta please all the rural white-dominated counties to get reelected.

A better (but still stupid) way to achieve Jastiger's ends would be to disallow voting by anyone who doesn't live in an area with at least 100,000 residents so they'll have some exposure (and thus sympathy) to people who are different from themselves.

No. Just reenstate reconstruction for thr South until they can prove they arent regressive poo poo heads. If you're white and can trace your lineage to slaveholders, still live in thr South, and vote Republican, execution is in order.

You're just proving my point, the south is more than a few state governments and your "nuke the south" gimmick and irl versions of such will just hurt regular southerners even more, regular southerners being overwhelmingly descendants of either slaves, sharecroppers, or indentured servants. Comparing you to Sherman is insulting because Sherman forbid harm to anyone who wasn't deserving of it.

And you do realize that even most of the people who fit your description are orders of magnitude less wealthy than you? Those trailer trash should've what, bootstrapped themselves to a decent school or a better state?

I never said to nuke the south. You probably need archives to see my ye olde Southern posts. I advocate Sherman 2.0, liberating property from wealthy whites and paying them as reparations to the generations of Southerners that were harmed. If they admire tbe the confederacy? Racism? Theocratic? Disenfranchisement at minimum. A complete reinstatement of the voting rights act in all Southern states and a disbarment from office anyone who can trace wealth back to slaveholders or confederate sympathizers.

They should bootstrap to not buying into revisionist nationalism. Their leaders have failed them.

Punishing people for their ancestry, something they had no say in whatsoever, is idiotic even for you jastiger. Should we strip rights from the ancestors of former nazis if they are now citizens too? Why should ancestors of the original settlers be allowed to vote either considering what was done to native americans?

If they still advocate and celebrate things associated with the bad part of their family's past, ok that is different, but why punish an otherwise upstanding citizen because way back in their family tree there was a slave owner?

Sherman didn't burn people alive though? It would only backfire if we trusted those fuckers to have moral fortitude. Dont let them back in until they can show they arent idiots. Itll likely be never and im ok with that. They can be a us territory with all the perks of that, but no voting or any of that
