Ditto. Cinema for me these days for me are sacred and for special occasions. Some movies are only worth watching in theatres if the visual spectacles are great.

Those who support China (and Russia) because they are against American imperialism, are just supporting another imperialists.

The CCP is a pretty pragmatic organisation. They plan long term with decades in mind. Not to mention that US’ internal whackery is just easily handing over the torch to China this century. Unfortunately, it is hard to see how CCP will collapse. It might even take the next century for that to happen.

China: We came here to rescue you. Please do not resist.

I just wish that people here would take time to explain why liberals are not left instead of just attacking you.

Liberalism is not left because by definition they are socially progressive but economically conservative.

I used to think the liberals are “left” because of the Americam mainstream media (by intentionally muddying political terms) interchange liberal between left. But thanks to Philosophy Tube’s beginner’s video explaining what it means, now I know better.

You mean they know exactly what the problem but choose bury their heads in the sand.

Yes, but the motivation behind the rhetoric is far more sinister and cynical. They’re demonising affordable healthcare as excuse to stay home and play videogames.

Cat, uhh, finds a way.

He was put forth by the people not by DNC.

Actually, those moutaintops would have eroded and gone after 4 billion years.

This made more sense than the opening of Prometheus.

“Pollution” is just a natural process of excretion. One could say that the oxidation of earth is cyanobacteria “polluting” their oxygen waste. But I guess how humans pollute the earth is far weirder than anything and quicker than ever experienced.

It is the combination of the pandemic lockdowns made people yearn less going on night outs, and also the price of drinks have become too damn high!

If the only citizens are naturalized people, the country is 100% immigrants.

What do they think America is founded on?

Democratic administrations actually deported more people than Republicans. But the difference is that Democrats do so with case by case consideration and by the book; Republicans, meanwhile, wants to do away with the bureaucracy and blanket deport anyone who have any iota of questionable immigration status. This is precisely what Trumpers want-- get rid of people they don’t like by doing away with the rules that hinder their desires.

The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

People conflate socialism with collectivism.

This would make a good Alien movie. We’ll call it-- Alienception!

It appears that the success of Mamdani isn’t so much a vote against Trumpian politics, but more a vote against the stale nothingness of the Democrats top brass

People worth their salt, especially academics, mentioned this multiple times, neoliberal politics is no longer working. People want anything away from the forty-year old, outdated policies. Populism is getting a bad rap (either unintentionally or deliberately) but it is simply democracy. When surveyed, many voters who’d be open to vote right are also willing to vote left provided that bread and butter issues that affect day-to-day lives are addressed. Mamdani won the primary because he ran on providing common sense policies that the duopoly parties and oligarchs have brainwashed many Americans to fear. It seems that Americans are gradually waking up from establishment conditioning.

If American progressives continue with running on addressing bread and butter issues, and take away the narrative from the right, then the country could be saved from fascism. There may not need be a civil war to oust the Trump administration, but only time will tell.

A country founded on genocide and explicit principle of setting up free market, is against even slight implementation of common sense policy of affordable education and healthcare.

Colour me shocked.
