Between 1790 and 1920, every monarchy said democracy and republics were failures and paths to dictatorship, until all the monarchies collapsed or were reformed into bourgeois democracies. I think by 2047 something very similar will happen with bourgeois democracies and communism.
Where do I send my kid? Is a northeast, diverse, left leaning town with good schools shielded by any of this, or will this end public schools nationwide?
It legitimately can’t happen because of the police funding they did for the capitol in response to the last one. I think protests in general on Jan 6th or Inauguration Day will be met with barricades long before they get near the events near capitol hill
I had a female boss in a male dominate career field when I was in my early twenties and I drove a sedan to the work site. Even though I was the youngest guy on the job she would always say I was the only man at the worksite because “all the boys show up in a toy.” (Chopper, lifted truck, 2 door muscle cars)
125 AD - 1947 AD never happened
The Chinese built a giant fan
“Our means include one way tunnels with luxury electric taxis, but not homes or kid lunches”
I’d like Tarantino more if he compared himself to Michael Bay or Christopher Nolan instead of Scorsese and PTA.
The amount of shitting and wiping I d imagine you’d have to do, hemorrhoids would likely be unbearable overtime
Yea I know, literally every suburbanite tells me the Dems need to be more moderate than they already are and since Biden won I just hold my tongue.
It’s all vibes and no ideology for 95% of Americans.
Genuinely starting to think comedy podcasts/stand up is how most people get their opinions
I’m not sure, I know a lot of enjoying life racists that love Trump. Country club going never been to a minority neighborhood but quote Tucker Carlson racist, own multiple properties and boats due to underpaying day laborers and call them wetback racist, north shore mansion Long Island Zionist that think the Dems are soft on Palestine racist.
Like economic anxiety my ass, most of the wealthy people I know love Trump and love being racist.
The democrats could have linked arms to causing likuds downfall and basically kept the status quo. It’s so confusing why they didn’t beyond incompetence.
Bibi has been actively working against the democrats since Obama
Pretty awesome if Putin pulled this off. Would be the largest strategic victory for a US enemy since Osama Bin Laden made the empire kill itself with 9/11
That whole January before Covid was the death of any left leaning electoral path. The squad and Liz Warren just fucked the Bernie runaway candidate moment. Guy could’ve ran away with primary before South Carolina if they didn’t become the weirdest people overnight.
Feeling someone deserves more and having a shit fucking plan to solve it are two different things. We don’t need to be romantic about this
The writers pushing for the strike were the ones who could make bank on residual payment on streaming, not the ones struggling to find work.
2021 and 2022 were peak years in the industry. Cutbacks happened to time out exactly with the WGA pushing to strike. Scripts were saved and shelved to be produced somewhere else, because writers have no control over the industry.
Have you seen the movie? They are building a township at the edge of Rio in the 60s/70s. It looks like a desert.
The favellas in the early portion of the film…. Were they built sets or did they travel somewhere rural?
And to anyone that says blame the producers. No, the Writers are morons. They do not control any industry, capital, or production, they do not even control their scripts. They essentially are America putting sanctions on Russia, and Russia just moving its economy towards Asia.
WGA are not longshoreman, they write fucking jokes and parts of scripts collaboratively in a room that are then owned by the production company. The moment they pulled out of doing this, producers just moved to other countries, or used old scripts and kept chugging along.
If IATSE, or Teamsters went on strike, production would actually come to a full stop. WGA just made things slowdown and allowed the AMPTP to plan out how they were gonna fuck all the other unions long term and cut cost. Penguin, Hpuse of Dragon, Dune, all got made during the strike. The money makers for the studios. These stupid fucks just got romantic and lib about what unions can do.
Say whatever you want, but these people are not my class, these people are not thinking about the proletariat, these people do not understand where there is actually power in a union. They are worthless
I think these river boundaries from Kherson to the Oskil are the goal for as long as Ukraine is putting up a fight. With drones and surveillance, offensives are back to the WW1 era. I don’t think they’d plan major offensives until Ukraine is in full collapse mode. It’s not worth the manpower in deaths or in occupation.
