  • Thoughts on Full Metal Jacket?

    Jump

  • Second half of the movie is pointless. They should’ve ended it after Pyle shot himself. The rest of it is just a recruitment film, like if “Johnny Got His Gun” just turned into a regular war novel part way through.

  • US used 14% of its THAAD stockpile against Iran, a report says. It could take years to replenish.

    Jump

  • Americans only care about big explosions in the desert on camera and mistake that for genuine military power. Expensive hobby.

  • Does anyone have some good resources to debunk the "China is going to depopulate because of a demographic crisis" talking point?

    Jump

  • Only a masochist would have this conversation. Just point out that this is absurd and that no sane government would do this. Any state in this position would simply depopulate a different country and move settlers into the vacuum. You know, like euros did/still do.

    Contrapoints speaks out on the genocide in Palestine: "Leftists are stinky,, praise Kamala"

    Jump

  • A lot of liberals have an almost religious belief in the idea that on any given issue, Trump is worse than Biden. Biden could brag about how much he loves kicking puppies and people would still say "oh but Trump would kick the puppies even HARDER so you hate puppies if you don't vote for Biden." Extremely tiresome.

  • guaranteeing that the US will put no diplomatic pressure on Netanyahu

    Oh my god we had so much of that under Biden, didn't we?

    Trump is a menace to me and everyone I care about

    Same, I'm just not willing to become complicit in the 21st century holocaust for the impression of my rights being safeguarded.

    Trot Alternative: “This means opposing […] not just American imperialism, but imperialists like Russia and China as well.”

    Jump

  • American imperialism: "we're bombing you and taking your stuff"

    European imperialism: "Congratulations on your independence from us! We're so sorry we took all your stuff, but we will loan you some of your money back if you give us all your natural resources and agree to neoliberalize your economies forever!"

    Russian imperialism: "stop letting NATO put bases on our border or we're gonna go to war"

    Chinese imperialism: "do you wanna build a railroad together or something?"

    Alternative to Socialism writers: "we cannot tell these things apart"

  • This is weird, I suppose, but do people sometimes feel they learn NOTHING from YouTube?

    Jump

  • Two things:

    Firstly, youtube videos are meant to entertain and drive engagement. They aren't there to teach you anything.

    Secondly, how much "burnout" can be ascribed to already knowing most of this information? Or just getting bored? Most of these videos are not going in depth, like you said. They are there for people who don't want to spend time or money on learning something. A lot of them probably riff off of each other.

  • Why Neocon originated from Trotskyite?

    Jump

  • Some names would help here... I know Reagan was famously left-leaning in his younger years, as was Jeb Bush, but other than that I can't think of any ex-Trot neocons.

  • US only has 25% of all Patriot missile interceptors needed for Pentagon’s military plans

    Jump

  • The situation also became more acute following Trump’s move to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities last month, the people said, when the US fired close to 30 Patriot missiles to intercept Iranian ballistic missiles fired in performative retaliation at the Al Udeid base in Qatar.

    So in other words, not performative at all, but effective and painful?

  • gamers are like "games are art" but then when you try to critique it like art it's "fuck off just let people enjoy games"

    Jump

  • True of other artistic mediums as well. Everyone wants their hobby to be "art" but nobody wants to actually engage critically with anything which they consume. For most people, film, literature and music are sources of cheap dopamine hits, and the artistic output of the twenty-first century shows it.

  • US believes it has degraded Iran's nuclear program by two years — Pentagon

    Jump

  • i.e., we're bombing them again in two years

  • NSFW Removed

    Why did Yakub have to do this to us?

    Jump

  • When are you coolies gonna pay us back for all that infrastructure we gave you, HUH?

    Probably around the same time they ask you guys to do all that for them. Anglo apologists love to brag about the roads they built from the mines to the docks to the slums to cope with the fact that absolutely no one wants them or their machinery of death and slavery.

    Brits conquered a quarter of the world. They don't get to act like they were doing anyone but themselves a favor by doing so.

    Eva Braun: "The Communists, the Jews, and the Islamists despise Trans people. Don't be like them".

  • Ignoring that this is most likely bait, this trick of saying "all the (global south racial other) HATE f@gs so if you don't hate f@gs you should hate (global south racial other) or you also hate f@gs just like those (slurs)" is absolutely everywhere nowadays. Israelis especially love using it. Somehow, I am not even remotely comforted by my identity being hijacked in this way to justify oppression, bigotry, and the wholesale slaughter of people who have never wronged me. It also makes me wonder... once they've purchased sufficient license to murder by posturing as allies, will they remember that they don't much like me and mine after all?

    The answer is yes, of course. First they came for x, and I didn't say anything because I heard they were transphobic. Then they came for y, and I didn't do anything because I heard somewhere they were a little bit problematic. And so on...
