On the one hand Brigitte Bardot did use her fame and fortune to promote gutter racism for years and years, but on the other hand her ex-husband did get her to take her clothes off on camera in 1956, so who is to say whether or not she was an international treasure?

Nobody thinks about the struggles of Reinhard Heydrich. 😔

Whatever gets him out of the announcer's booth is fine by me.

"Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe" is a Christmas movie.

Imagine it being easier to just pay the 8 billion dollars and it won't affect you in the slightest. Man what have we done lol

Doing my normal person stuff.

Why are all these billionaire Nazi sex pests so perpetually moist? Why are they all wet, slicked with fluids, greasy, oleaginous, why do they all have the exact sheen of mucus. What's with the obsession of these freaks for the wetboy aesthetic, the abhorrent slugman aesthetic.

Shooting at Panzer Lehr from the skies as it attempted to attack the British landings? War crime. Sinking transports with ammo for German units in Africa? War crime. Not reaching out to Hitler when he was clearly in a dark place, leading to his suicide? War crime.

I have my prejudices. I'm pretty damn classist. In a "guilty until proven innocent" kind of way. I don't apologize for this, but I do understand it about myself, and do my best to suppress it.

Also, in a properly functioning socialist state crimes of desperation should be unneeded. Everyone had food, housing, water, etc. so anyone committing a crime is doing it out of pure choice

Andy Serkis directing Animal Farm.

I know people hate Will Stancil, but this is simply objectively true. The democratic socialist future is not piecemeal private mutual aid, it's sufficient taxation and spending to sustain the state capacity to bureaucratically ensure that no American goes hungry, homeless, or without health care.

This is stunt casting, and it will either go very well, or horribly wrong. I have enough respect for Cage to be cautiously optimistic, though.

Two people I have opinions, but not really strong opinions on, are fighting. This would be less noteworthy if this site didn't lose its mind when either one take center stage, let alone both.

Reject state power and embrace mutual aid all you want, but as long as state power exists and capitalists still hold it, you're still either capitalist or slave. Mutual aid might lighten the chains, but anything you build can be taken away if you live at the mercy of an overseer.

People hate to hear this, but if the criminal class does have an ideological orientation it's overwhelmingly right wing.

it’s almost like most terminally online leftists aren’t committed to actually building the structures necessary for a socialist society to work because they’re instead actually libertarians who say “Give me, give me, chicken tendies; Be they crispy, or from Wendy's”

"Theft will stop the moment socialism is implemented, because there will be no need" was put to the test by Spanish Republicans in 1936 when they emptied the prisons. The results won't surprise you!

Making it illegal to hold federal agents accountable does not mean people will stop holding them accountable. But I don't think the admin is considering what it looks like once normal people begin embracing illegal forms of holding these agents accountable.

Why is your candidate handing out tampons? Shouldn't she be hosting $35,000 a plate fundraisers, or explaining why we have to be patient with ICE having literally any consequences for blatantly illegal activities?

I once told a guy that he needed to decide whether or not he wanted to be an overbearing father or a negligent father, because he kept going between the two. He uh... Didn't appreciate it.

During the American Civil War, the vital cities of Memphis, New Orleans, and Nashville all fell the moment Confederate forts no longer blocked access to Union naval forces. People talk about the "high water mark of the Confederacy", but losing those industrial cities was devastating to them.

both martin and sinatra were the sons of immigrants from the mezzogiorno, which was basically a third world country until the 1970s. your average immigrant from sub-saharan africa comes from a society more developed than the early 20th century mezzogiorno. miller as usual is full of shit

It's not going to stop at biology, either. Even as history departments continue to starve and die, the heckler's veto will pop up there in the same way, and we'll start seeing people getting fired for being insufficiently pro-Christian or pro-American.

I forgot how bad Episide One really is.

What's the point of winning a war if our fleet doesn't make me hard, though?

I think some people don't understand the pleasure you can take in passing a difficult task, or how someone cheating cheapens the entire process. It's not just that the student, player, or worker who cheated gets credit, it's that they get equal credit as people who used skill and talent.

Does anyone else bristle at this framing? WSJ says blue books are “torturing” students with hand cramps, and “nobody likes them.” Listen, students have been outsourcing everything to AI and cheating their way through college. Blue books should be celebrated as a return to authentic human learning.

"Younger generations" Guys, Millennials are in their 30s and 40s.

Listen, what you do is refuse to develop an industry of sufficient size, make sure the industrial leaders are more concerned with paying you kickbacks and keeping you happy than meeting demand, and then you shut gates to keep out competition. Boom. Instant industry.

Jesus fuck. I'm pretty critical of Biden, and the entire Democratic Party, but this is hallucination. All these fucking people care about is maintaining their position. They might be cowards and collaborators, but they didn't willingly take power to save Trump. They took power for power.

It was hard to convince Americans torture is wrong as a moral principle during Bush's term, and that was with the debate about whether torture makes us safer. I'm afraid for a portion of Trump's base, that calculation matters less. Idea of torturing undocumented immigrants may even bring pleasure.

Well, that's one American adult that I'm okay with seeing vanish.

The funny thing is, hobbies are so cheap now. Experiences? Obscenely expensive. Necessities? Variable, trending more expensive. But hobbies? You can afford a hobby.

I stand by this, and I also stand by the fact that I don't trust the current economic numbers which say things are moving in a positive direction. The economy is not on the brink of collapse, but the idea that things are going well is absurd.

This administration's actions will start backing a lot of people into a corner they can't get out of, and while most people will accept their lot, if enough don't accept it, expect some pretty unpleasant things to be directed at government workers and electeds.

If the numbers are correct, maybe we'll start seeing some reconsideration about whether Trump's economic policies are actually good, yeah?

Lol peddle that "actually the economy is great" garbage somewhere else, bud.

Being told by some *very* reliable sources that the new battleships are a great idea, and based around... I dunno, drones and littoral combat operations, rather than anything that the Navy and administration are saying they are.

If the Democratic Party has their way, we will end up treating Trump and his administration the same way we treated Reagan, and the same way we're currently treating George W. Bush.

I'm glad a bunch of people are seeing it now, but we've also had evidence that these are torture camps for some time. Torture camps are always staffed by sadistic thugs, rapists, and murderers. So please internalize what they're doing at these camps, and suitably adjust your politics.

I'm just excited for our Tsushima, and Gigan is melting down, smh.

Trump absolutely believes these ships will be made, but his subordinates are almost certainly just planning on stealing all the construction funds.

What's often overlooked about Joe Biden spending all of his political capital on this is that you don't respond to an attempted coup and endless treason with bipartisan infrastructure bills. The system is broken, and the opposition party is blatantly engaging in illegality. Fix that first.

Real "I don't hate Muslims, I hate Radical Islamists" energy being thrown around over the last year.

Alright, here's who I would choose for the Hall of Fame ballot. Post your own or go to hell.

Congratulations to the NFC East for reclaiming their "worst division in fooball" award.
