Biden stepping down because he is no longer confident he can remain sharp in 2028: fine, everyone gets it Kamala also has to step down because she was a terrible pick at the time: ok so these people simply cannot be trusted with power

It wasn’t one bad debate, it’s been six goddamn years of noticeable cognitive decline. You people have absolutely fucked because you think real life is a tv show

Probably because Trump didn’t mumble through the debate, but why would I know. Why don’t you ask all your Republican friends that. Dems have been lying to America for months, though, idk what to tell you. Rip the bandaid now or go down with the noble lie is an easy choice to me

Before the debate Biden’s number one weakness was the electorate thought he was too old to be President. You guys have to live in reality please

She’s so attractive in that movie it genuinely makes you lose track of the plot at times, which given her role in plot is just a perfect performance. Take that, zoomer prudes who say there’s no such thing as a necessary sex scene in film

Also the byline willfully misleads people about who Walther is, he’s a failed pundit who got some sort of sinecure at a Catholic magazine from typical right wing elder abuse fundraising, but he’s a politic activist and has been his entire career

Walther has no subject matter expertise in any subject(including, apparently, his own voting behavior) and he’s just a mentally ill racist whose specific illness manifests in a religious form, why on Earth is he worthy of publication

Why did you crop out 4, that’s the best one! “Nominate an American Keir Starmer” lol. First off, the American Starmer is Kamala Harris, secondly, Starmer et al. seized power by calling Corbyn anti-Semitic! Isn’t that wokeness?

Ok first off we should be ableist about politicians. They need to be “able” to do their job. Second man if it’s so important to beat Trump why are you yelling at me. I’m not the old man with a speech impediment polling behind him and losing debates

plenty of people who know what they’re talking about disagree with me, but you appear to be having a full on manic episode because you got pushback on your claim that “The Empire Strikes back is a bad film, worse than Rise of Skywalker

This is one of the top 3 or 4 pieces of film criticism of the century imo, and given the decline in media literacy pretty much a lock to stay that way

And the end result of uwu let people enjoy things culture is that obviously there’s just no way you can defend that on the merits, TLJ is more competently shot than the other sequels but written and acted even worse, but vibes are vibes

Plenty of dumb people would agree the original trilogy is better than the sequel trilogy(as would most forms of film criticism), it’s not like any of them are very complicated films. Since you asked me to be rude, you probably have some fucked up parasocial thing going on

I mean if you think any films of the sequel trilogy are better than Empire that strongly implies that you experience cinema from a much different perspective than other people. There needs to be a common frame of reference about what a movie being “good” means

Basically we are creating a folk history that the problem with segregation is that it hurt black people’s feelings, and so if we can retroactively say Josh Gibson was better than Ruth it’s job well done on that tricksy issue

The motivation of the people doing the whitewashing is the same, the effects are obviously not the same but it’s the same rah-rah, love means love, humans are freaking awesome impulse found exclusively in severe cases of HR brain. I’m probably not explaining this well.

Retroactively pretending the Negro leagues were MLB is of a piece of how Overlord, the WW2 zombie movie just pretended the armed forces were desegregated, or how Bridgerton has a post-racial Regency. Pretending racism didn’t happen isn’t woke!

Listen if you like thinking too literally and explaining the themes of the movie then you’ll love this: he does have an epic shootout with Chirugh. It’s not decisive, but it happens, and it ruled.

One major shift in the last ten years is that everyone - politics people, sports people, movie people - have at least in part stopped being able to talk about the thing they're actually interested in and have succumbed to the idea that marketing is the thing that matters
