My hot take is that this is a disibility scam. "Oh no I got hit by the magic Cuban mind ray, I need 2K a month for PTSD" They let one motherfucking CIA agent get away with that and the flood gates just opened. They have to let everyone get away with it because the alternate is admitting it's clearly bullshit. Also it's government money who gives a shit anyway?

Well I think you've got a legitimate criticism of the movie, that Avatar does the "white savior" trope. Jake Sully being like, the best Na'vi dragonrider and leading the resistance is absolutely absurd. I can get over it tho. The Last Samurai doesn't even have like the semblance of a good political message though right? That was more about the personal journeys of the characters I thought?

Pocahontas is not as good politically as Avatar. If you watch Pocahantas there are evil colonizers and evil natives, that want war with each other. That is protrayed as a bad thing, and eventually the protagonist Pocahantas deflates the situation, and the movie ends with peace. It's a both sides narrative, a "why can't we all just get along."

Where Avatar says there is a good side, the natives, and a bad side, the colonizers, and it ends with the protagonist joining an armed resistance against the US government and expelling the colonial force.

You are right about the white savior aspect, but I still rate the movie pretty highly.

Make a bunch of money for nothing? Value comes from labor not like minting money.

My hate for bitcoin comes from me feeling like it's really stupid and kind of a scam, and yet some people are like sycophantically devoted to bitcoin. Also the fact that it's used for like, gun running, money laundering, and sex trafficking.

Creating Israel meant turning a multiethnic country into a ethnostate, so no, it did not made sense.

Maybe a mass migration of Jews into Palestine could have worked out if they were not Zionists, trying to create a "Jewish state" and instead were just refugees assimilating into Palestine. But that wasn't the case, and the British empire specifically wanted ethnic strife in their colonies.

No obviously not. It does make me extremely skeptical of US aggression, either economic, or military against China for the purpose of pursuing human rights. That is where the question is at for Americans.

Tankie also seems to ironically mean people who do not support the use of the US military and tanks.

Those giving the orders at the top are too thoroughly disconnected from reality for them to form a coherent propaganda push. |

I mean some Amazon stiff thought that "we are better employers than Bernie Sanders" was going to win them support.

Do they know what they want? I kinda wonder if this person would be just as content with a some hamburger meat, clearly their pallet isnt too refined.

I don't see any problematic takes there...

Okay, well I won't vote for Assad or Hillary.

Like really, as an American, the question to me is not "should Assad be president, or someone better?" the question to Americans and their politicians is "should America wage economic and hot war on Syria, while arming and supporting the genocidal Turkish government occupation of Northern Syria?????"

You see the difference there?

I mean I watch them because I am very bored right now, and they have decent enough action set pieces to make them kind of fun popcorn watches. Usually on a weekend, while not really paying attention and slightly drunk/high.

Well she is as well right? She has said "Trump should be King" or "Trump is my King" or stuff along those lines enough times where I'm pretty sure she believes it.

Imagine a world in which petite bourgeoise landlords throw in with their tenants and tell the mortgage company to piss off.

If landlords had solidarity with tenants they would not be landlords. Like in this scenario the landlords are no longer getting passive income with no labor right? What's in it for them?

No they didn't do anything wrong which is sort of the critique. The show depicted the other nations as having their flaws and problems, but was ultimately still respectful which is good. The water nation was sexist, the Earth Nation was oppressively, the fire nation is racist and propagandized.

But the air nomads? There was no real lesson or nuance there, they were just depicted as this perfect, lost culture. Which would be fine if they just didn't want to get into that, but by naming people after the Dali Lama they are sort of making it political, and essentially endorsing feudal Buddhism and connecting it to the real world.

Tibetan uprising day was a failed CIA backed insurgency that resulted in a lot of deaths and the self exile of the Dali Lama from Tibet. Fun thing for AOC to celebrate. https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1997-01-26-9701270002-story.html
