    November 4th Civil War prep thread.

    That's the thing...Mao did actually murder people. He literally purged an entire class of people. He had them often shot in the street, in public, in order to show everyone he was purging the landlords. He also intentionally starved other groups (not just through failed policies.) I mean, the...

    November 4th Civil War prep thread.

    Mao was unintentional manslaughter? The fuck? You realize Mao's first purge of the landlords from 49-52 executed 5 million people right? Not starved, or sent to camps where they died of disease, or the academics a decade later where they were cut off from supplies until they died. They literally...

    November 4th Civil War prep thread.

    Stalin: Was a professor who taught classes part time while working in an observatory. The entire Marxist crew were essentially enraged and disenfranchised academics. They went on to kill over 10 million people. Mao: Radicalized while he was an librarian with other professors before going on to...

    November 4th Civil War prep thread.

    About 70% of KIA voted for Obama. Some fucking failures as Nazis. Also, Seb being a Nazi...lol. Another one of those Pro-Obama Nazis. When people are outraged over the statement "It's okay to be white" (And a college actually explains why whiteness is a problem..) I don't think the people...

    The Benefits of Socialism

    Public goods are elements of Capitalism that have existed as concepts since the system was effectively discussed with the rise of private property as a renewed concept. Really you could argue Socialism grew from this element in Capitalism. But I'd say you'd need to make a distinction between...

    The Benefits of Socialism

    Human evolution is the reason why socialism beyond a certain scale doesn't work. Your ape brain was literally not designed, nor does it have the capacity to make the system efficient or asses enough high quality communication to do so. Your brain is literally not good enough for socialism, you...

    The JFK Files Discussion Thread

    Yeah, the only "white" girls I've ever been able to relate to are Irish--which among northern Europeans are, as they say, the American Inventors of the region. (Again, according to them the freckles are the black peaking out..lol). But mostly Hispanic/Italian girls.

    The JFK Files Discussion Thread

    As Tony Soprano said "Italians are Jews with better food." And its true, Italians have a lot of the same stereotypes as Jews. They have simmilar suicide rates ect due to emphasis on family and everything. I've noticed they tend to inter-marry a lot. In my family its essentially Jews+Italians...

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    Guessing you're talking about the hammer breaking scene? I noticed in the first few trailers it looks like they are in an alley or street on earth, then in the most recent trailer they are in a field.

    Retard Dumping Ground

    How many times did they avoid the word filter? How many times did they do it after a warning? I went back through the thread and I didn't see once. Do you have another instance?

    Retard Dumping Ground

    Were they warned multiple times, actively and then continued to do it? Your post is like someone who was driving drunk after three arrests for it who killed 4 people crying because he was arrested while another guy whose on his first warning didn't. No. They shouldn't.

    Retard Dumping Ground

    These guys are at the mercy of your little silicon valley fascists unfortunately. The world filters exist because of the shit we're annoyed at, so there is a level where we don't use certain words. it sucks, but clearly the censorship is coming from a degree higher than us. You constantly defend...

    Retard Dumping Ground

    Looks like you went full retard my friend. Never go full retard. They did you a favor anyway, I was planning some serious fucking I told you so in the politics thread. Pretend like these guys are "holding you back" from an intellectual ass whooping, it's a better narrative.

    Black Panther (2018)

    Doesn't his new suit in the comics have a bunch of tech in it now? Honestly, BP was one of my favorite characters growing up, but lately it's been a real case of Mary Sue with him it seems. He's got to be smarter than Richards, a better fighter than Cap, and has more money/tech than Stark...

    Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    Yeah. The whole point of "replicant" is that they are not robots. It's why the toy maker from the first film began building little robots as a form of therapy--he knew what he made professionally was actual life, not really different from other humans outside of enhancements and a poison pill...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Exactly. The problem with writers who want to write about these themes (Racism, xenophobia ect), is not that the stories they want to tell are bad, it's that they are bad at telling them. They literally see NO redeeming qualities among the "bad" guys, they see no internal logic or reasoning or...

    Wonder Woman (2017)

    Watched it a second time. Noticed more flaws, and picked up "less" than I do on most good Marvel re-watches. Still a really great film, but overall it's a total boner killer how weak the ending is. I can't roll my eyes hard enough at Trevor blowing himself up...Like...why? Just go land the plane...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    btw, didn't see this. Thanks for this information, have been reading about electroporation for a couple hours now, it's really good info. Always wary when reading articles like the one I linked because of how they are absent from the history of the techniques they are written on.

    Rick and Morty

    Honestly I was shocked at how good the episode was--when it started and I saw how they were setting up the metaphors, I figured it would be stupid SJW crap. But it was the opposite of the normal shallow, ridiculously one dimensional views of shit like that. I loved how they showed all the...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    No, it's pretty much the opposite of Starz Fuckery. Season 1 is, for me, the best season of TV ever made (Some other shows may challenge it for the best show, but this season is truly something else). Aside from MAYBE deadwood, there isn't another show that was as good in every respect that...

    Why Today's Movies Suck

    You know what was a stupid CGI fest when it came out? Independence Day. Guess what it is now? A classic. A few of your movies were hot garbage when they came out. They have terrible characters, and dumb plots--but they are classics because there is some insight or connection from that period...

    Why Today's Movies Suck

    lol, look at your comments on Dr. Strange, and then look at coming of age movies from the 80's that are now classic. Literally had designated character arcs, and types that began to be labelled in Breakfast club. All classics, though. I actually don't like Rogue One because the characters are...

    Why Today's Movies Suck

    CGI is awesome. It's fucking fantastic. I love CGI, and so do you--when its done well. You act like practical effects are great, but practical effects were used consistently in those "great films" with really shitty, campy effects that look awful, and are ridiculous, and completely take me out...

    Why Today's Movies Suck

    See, the thing is a lot of this is just the stimulation of first experience, and LESS experience overall. It's the same reason why summers as a kid used feel long and awesome--and now they are short and barely memorable. Because the proportion of your experiences was extremely limited when you...

    Why Today's Movies Suck

    Most of the films Astro listed have a ton of garbage elements, too. They aren't masterpieces, they are classics. There is a difference. Every film on that list is entertaining for the vast majority of people who watch them. What makes something a classic is simply still being relevant after...

    the ecological fallacy and identity politics

    Arguing that group variance is higher is silly given the Pareto principle illustrates that the fringe has the greatest positive and negative effects on society. We have empirical evidence of this in both crime and analysis of higher economic bands. About 5% of the addresses in a city will...

    It's not. But as @Khane said, a lot of people think Fitness instructors are decently educated. They are usually pretty damn charismatic too, so they probably give a sense they are going places.
