Is Veggie Tales right-wing? I know it's explicitly christian, but I'm jewish. I assumed it was benign childish centrism christianity not "Adam rode a dinosaur PS bomb Palestine."

Depriving children of Silly Songs With Larry because there's a light morality play about how God wants you to share your crayons seems a bit of a mistake.

Right wing chuds don't mind Russia right now because it's not Communists. Repubs don't hate Russia as an entity, they hate anything smacking of leftist politics and that's def not the guy in charge now.

The guy in charge now is a right wing, strong armed authoritarian chud who MAY have been a communist at some point in time working under the communists -- but Trump was also left wing once until he got better/memory holed.

He's one of them. They love it.

I know this conversation is old news -- but seriously.

How the hell did I read through PAGES on christian/conservative movies and not a single mention of Passion?

My church brought teenagers to that snuff film. It made roughly a bajillion dollars.

I'd really like to know also what the "story" is on that "Loving Your Family is Racist" banner because I'm wracking my brain for possibilities but aint clickin that poo poo to find out. Seriously, I'm having trouble trying to imagine what it is I'm supposed to be outraged about and the only thing that comes to mind is some Karen didn't want their kid to go sleep over at his friend Jermaine's house because he lives in a bad neighborhood and somehow that got out

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10999817/Journalist-ridiculed-saying-whites-relatives-mustnt-challenging-racist-views.html

A woke journalist is being ridiculed online for saying whites who get on with their relatives must not be challenging what she says are their loved ones' racist views.

Jessica Mason Pieklo, Senior Vice President and Executive Editor at Rewire News, received criticism for her tweet thread last week that accused 'even good white families' of being a 'little racist when you scratch the surface.'

Her initial tweet called out white people, saying that if they are committed to racial justice, yet in good standing with most of their family members, she has questions about their commitment to racial justice.

Oh god yes. I remember cancelling so many reservations from my 'this town exists only because tourists can't help coming to waterparks and spending 40 bucks for a cheap t-shirt on 'vacation'" based water park because of riots that were going on a good hour away. Most concerned questions were from military and police officers. This town is surrounded by small towns full of chuds. They weren't scared of getting corona in the heady days of the summer of 2020, but riots? Horrified.

If anyone as much as tried to wave a sign board around they'd have half the county cops escorting them out of town.

Telegraphs are very popular for legal and contractual use because they require human verification at either end. Service is rather spotty and you'll be routed to hell and gone on the crumbling infrastructure, but it's still there.

Except in Japan where people still love them. Because Japan's technology exists in both the 23rd and 19th century and will not budge.

Long haul truckers make good money. They are hardly on the 'bottom rung' of society. Airplane pilots.... used to? make a bunch of money. People on call for all sorts of unfortunate 'must be done right now and it's probably going to take all day to do it and you sure as hell aren't going to be interested in standing around for any amount of time after you do it' are hardly on the bottom rung of society.

They will, however, be absolutely hosed if they must be in a specific place at a specific time on a specific day.

Their definition of "cratered" is suspect. It's been proven multiple times that "go woke go broke" is nonsense. In the real world, "going woke" tends to lead to more business as well as better quality high-level employees

Imperial Japan wasn't one military junta getting high on its own farts, it was TWO military juntas getting high on their own farts. The army and navy haaaated each other and were all backed by different corporate sponsors, politicians, and a light spree of assassination if a minister backing the other branch of the military got a little too far ahead of the game wasn't unheard of.

Japan needed their oil and their options for the navy was to either give MORE resources to the Army so they can go north into Siberia and grab resources there while Russia's hopefully seriously distracted and not going to absolutely bash their face in like the last time Russia and Japan got into it over Manchukuo... which does nothing to improve their situation with the forever war in China, just makes it a broader front, or go south and grab some resources and prestige for themselves by seizing a bunch of islands from distracted European powers. That would be a hell of a lot easier, quicker, and give the Navy the funds and fight they were looking for. Just a small problem with the Philippines being right there though, and firmly under control of the US. They'd play holy hell with Japanese resource lines simply by sailing out of port.

So war with the US it was, and they sure as hell weren't about to give the US advance notice to do anything to protect the only reasonable place for Japan to attack. Pearl Harbor was supposed to hurt a lot more than it actually did in OTL.

Sucks being a hemmed in country with limited choices. They knew they were likely to lose in a fight with the US over time, but they didn't have a realistic future as a world power if they didn't sucker punch the US and turn it into a gross, prolonged, struggle.

They are zionist antisemites.

Fundies care about Jews only the extent that they need them around to rebuild the temple so Jesus can come back. That is all. Also - they're 'white' people besieged in a sea of brown people. They don't give a toss about Judaism; they're waiting for them to go to hell with the brown people once they get their act together and start rebuilding.

Is this sarcasm or something? The US came out of WWII as the world's largest economy partly because of starting the war that way and partly because of being the only large country that didn't come out of the war with a bombed out industrial base and half a generation's young men dead in the fighting. Which is also part of why the US was able to do more rebuilding than looting like the Soviets, leading to the wealth disparities you can see in the formerly divided parts of Germany today.

ssh ssh. don't break the communard's brain. it wasn't 'looting' it was 'redistributing the wealth from rich Ukranian farmers to ..'

I dunno, man. The FBI used to keep files on popular celebrities like John Lennon, Muhammad Ali, Jimi Hendrix, Jackie Robinson and all kinds of folks with the lens that they were subversives or whatever. Then you go back to blacklisting and people like Lucille Ball. It's a time honored tradition to look at popular people in mainstream culture for not being..."American" enough I guess. But it is weird that here we have two rich white people, one an NFL star and the other a bombshell blonde pop singer that you would think would fit the mold of All American Couple for chuds celebrating on the national stage during the United States biggest unofficial holiday.

Neither is a movie star, for instance. And Swift (I don't think) goes into Madonna or Cher territory by being super hypersexual and poo poo. But I guess unless either of them has a strong stance on the southern border or some poo poo then they're unpure. Nobody kneeled for the anthem or anything. DId Kelce forget to thank Jesus for the three trophies? I dunno, man.

It's so loving stupid. Especially the part where the right is freaking about the cult of personality when they build golden statues of Donald Trump.

One of them stumped for the covid vaccine so there you go. Utter left wing trash.

Yes we have a motherfucking empire of propaganda but how dare your audience trend in the direction of objective reality for this one outlet when we go the other way

Right wing's been against NPR as far as I can remember. NPR usually counters that they serve all communities, and if they had their funding slashed they'd probably have to stop reporting so much on cattle futures.
