- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 5 days ago:
Saw Warfare, harrowing movie with all the internet favorite up and coming actors. I’d recommend it if it wasn’t an extremely draining experience.
Just today saw Sinners. Holy shit it rips. There’s a single camera shot about half way that hadmy jaw dropped. Incredible stuff from Coogler.

Yes but I saw it after this post was created, proving the axiom of the original post false.

- Comment on What's the worst instance of plot armour on characters you've seen in TV? 2 weeks ago:
I thought season 3 was really good, very tight on the characters constantly shifting motivations, fun bits. 4 was rough, not really a fan of how casually they keep sexually assaulting Hughie and play it for laughs.

- Comment on Anon gives a former president some feedback 5 weeks ago:
When you wage a war on an enemy, you win when the enemy is dead. When you wage a war on an idea, there’s no final end point.

No, it doesn’t go into the second book. It also deviates quite a bit at the end, imo for the better

We have a word for German citizens who weren’t actively in the regime, but who also didn’t do much to stop it. The word is nazi.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
In 1865, the U.S. ratified the 13th amendment that reads “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” Essentially ending slavery as we know it.
And since then, the wealthy have been attempting to do everything they can to bring it back.
It started with the black codes and Jim Crow, doing a facsimile of slavery and violence. This merged into segregation, and then on to red linning and unequal judicial practices. In the civil war, the south got poor white men to enlist by convincing them that freed black men would take their jobs, and we see this continued rhetoric today.
As a result, black people have been grouped together by way of literally preventing them from being in white areas, and for the last 70 years, relying on how difficult it really is to move up and out of any area. You know the best way of passing down wealth? Real estate, which black people have been pointedly pushed away from by redlining and segregation. Ultimately, black Americans have developed their own parallel culture, one that white people have historically shrieked away from. So we end up with two very different groups that see each other as different.

Seeing how Australians react to kangaroos like they’re just slightly more dangerous deer is so jarring
