  • Of all modern Sci-Fi Dystopia depicted in movies, which do you think our world will most resemble or already does resemble?

  • Robocop, corporate ownership of major infrastructure, militant authoritarian police force.

  • 'Home truths' from Melanie Phillips convey one message: Israel will always be at war

    Jump

  • We have always been at war with Eastasia.

  • ELI5 What is the hate against socialism? I mean doesn't it mean a system where the people take care of themselves and neighbors?

    Jump

  • Socialism, communism, whatever other utopian ideologies, require that people be invested and actively participating in it. The way wealth stops being funneled to the top is that people are invested (and informed enough) to stop it from happening. How that would happen in a practical sense would depend entirely on how these ideologies were implemented. Anyone who tells you it's all just very simple and easy would be lying to you. The main factor would be active participation by the vast majority of the populace. Without that, any attempts would be doomed to failure.

  • Socialism and communism have a lot more in common than communism and what the soviets (and those they inspired) did.

  • Yes, but there's more people who just don't care. In the last Presidential election if all possible votes were counted... no one would have won, because the largest amount of voters chose to just not show up. Part of that is willful disenfranchisement by those who gained by that statistic... but a significant part of that is that they just don't care. They think the situation would be the exact same no matter who was in charge. At least as far as it concerns them.

    That is the biggest issue with our current system, though obviously not the only one.

  • Isn't frolicking against just a form of LARPing?

  • The Strange and Totally Real Plan to Blot Out the Sun and Reverse Global Warming

    Jump

  • Futurama did it as well as a specific counter to Global Warming.

  • Booking.com cancelled woman's $4K hotel reservation, then offered her same rooms for $17K

    Jump

  • It was also four rooms. So closer to $500/room/night.

    So really, not all that absurd a price, especially in a major metro area during a major event.

  • Do you have resting bitch face?

    Jump

  • They're not necessarily happy, just not as angry as they look. Their neutral face just looks angry, grumpy, or otherwise in a negative state that isnt an accurate accounting of their current feelings.

  • Removed

    Who here does this? Be honest...

    Jump

  • More like toddlers, cause they're cats, but yes.

  • You can shove that lightsaber deep up in your Death Star.

    Jump

  • If Spielberg hadn't convinced George to do everything himself, just imagine what kinds of stories we could have had...

  • People who have moved away from your home town/area, what do you miss most?

    Jump

  • Apparently they've discovered drop crocodiles now.

  • Disney Spent More On ‘Andor’ Than Any Of Its ‘Star Wars’ Movies

    Jump

  • You can make good quality shows on a shoestring budget if you really want to. Even something fantasy/science fiction themed. It's more about intent and ability than it is budget. Plenty of high-budget productions still look like shit.

  • Congrats on living long enough to complain about it

    Jump

  • So... don't be like you then?
