Every time we chat, and the discussion turns towards capitalism, she’s the one who without any hesitation just says we should kill them all. Now, though, it’s gone further to torture. And she names names. In addition to people like Bezos and Musk, she includes Ben Shapiro, Andrew Tate and others.

I say we should force them to work and maybe learn the error of their ways (After the revolution of course. During it many of these fucks will die and I’ll be glad).

Her current jobs is extremely horrible. She’s being massively overworked, verbally abused and, of course, underpaid. So I get her frustration. But it’s also scary. I don’t want her to get in any trouble.

I don’t know if I should be gently turning her away from imagining a slow and painful torture of capitalists or not. Am I being a lib or is she too extreme?

 

"She went to step up to compete for the grade four shot-put final, and right before she went to throw, a grandfather of a student said, 'Hey, this is supposed to be a girls' event, and why are you letting boys compete.' My daughter is cisgender, born female, uses she/her pronouns. She has a pixie haircut," said mom Heidi Star.

Star says the man then carried on to demand certification to prove that her daughter was born female.

"He stopped the entire event. He also pointed at another girl who also had short hair. He then piped in and said, 'Well, if she is not a boy, then she is obviously trans.'"

Star said the man's wife then started calling her "a genital mutilator, a groomer, and a pedophile."

This is what happens when you allow Americanism to invade your country.

 

She also calls his parents by their first names.

 

It’s not fair :angery:

I get that. Watching what he did during the Abyss was convincing enough for me to say he’s not a good person. He puts his “art” above human life and treating people with dignity.

But I think the quote, charitably speaking, meant how today the indigenous people live a poor life because of the actions of the white suprematist state. I’m somewhat inclined to give him that charity because I know he was there fighting for indigenous rights in Brazil. And there’s the clear pro-indigenous narrative in the Avatar movies. So, it seems like he’s a “white saviour” type at best which is obviously problematic but in a different way than that quote.

And I can be totally wrong about this. I haven’t looked into it anymore than this. Maybe he really feels it’s the indigenous people’s fault they got genocided for not fighting harder. In which case, yeah, get fucked Cameron.

Yeah, she’s great. I have no idea why she hasn’t blown up. She’s been on YouTube for a looooong time.

It’s the only recourse they have. They know their position is immoral, that future generations will look back at their meat-eating ancestors with absolute disgust, similar to how we look at the crimes of our own pasts. But rather than self-reflect, they get defensive and lash out.

It’s the purest, most unadulterated, form of cope.

Under communism all memes will be shared and expanded on communally.

Abolish the private property of memes.

Free the means of meme production.

The latest Shinkai work is just as good as all others.

It’s another coming-of-age adventure with a splash of romance and drama, his signature fantastic visuals, and paired with the otherworldly music of his regular companion, RADWIMPS.

His sincerity and love for modern life, composed of the juxtaposition of past and present, city and nature, youth and tradition, of ordinary folk in extraordinary situations, makes you forget all worries and nuisances of life for a couple hours. And once it was over, I at least felt a lot lighter and happier.

It’s a messy film, with some cliches. And it doesn’t replace Your Name as my personal favourite. But, in my opinion, nothing can top your first Shinkai film anyways. And if you haven’t had the pleasure of watching one on the big screen, then Suzume will be a great start to your Shinkai journey.

In short, go watch it and feel something that modern Hollywood seems too “cool” and cynical to give you. I’ll be listening to the soundtrack while crying.

 

I’ve heard a lot of high praise but it’s such a weird fucking show. It’s like as if Alex Jones made a TV show with all the cliche conspiracy theories.

I don’t know if I want to continue.

Avatar is still a mediocre movie (with thoroughly average characters and plot). It’s not better, as a film, than any marvel slop.

If that wasn’t enough, James Cameron is not someone to be admired. He’s a horrible person who abused his cast and crew to hell and beyond. All to make a movie that is filled with the most stereotypical indigenous representation and extremely basic world building.

What if all the plants glowed? Wouldn’t that be super cool?! I am a genius.

All the tribes in the world have the same hierarchical (and stereotypical) structure and speak the same language.

And the next film is about the “bad” navis apparently. So, it’s not even gonna be about (the most mild critique) of colonialism anymore.

Yes, it looks pretty. But that’s about it. It’s better than Marvel and Top Gun (barely) but nothing to be celebrated or memed about. He is an anti-worker piece of shit who doesn’t give a shit about indigenous struggles or their experience.

Read what some indigenous critics have said of the film and his comments. Read what his cast and crew have said of how he treated them.
