So...I am a living example that this...is a myth. An idea that white supremacists have sold themselves so they can be scared. I have grown up with white privilege. I have been called white. I look white. Any reasonable person...would say I'm white
I am mixed.
All of the Bible is true.
Every single word.
The Bible isn’t a bag of trail mix. You can’t take the parts you like and just ignore the rest.
All of it - from Genesis to Revelation - is God’s inspired word and is 100% true.
Critical Role's Campaign 4 is rewriting core D&D rules by making resurrection spells like Revivify and Raise Dead nearly impossible.
Brennan Lee Mulligan is bending the system to fit their performative narrative.
This isn't a game anymore, it's scripted storytelling with dice.
There are no American flags, but there are flags of many other countries.
Those whose loyalty is to another country over America are, by definition, traitors and must be expelled immediately.
Socialism often begins with the premise that the rich are the problem.
The actual problem is that after you've punished, taxed, regulated, expropriated, or "eaten" the rich, you're still left with the harder question:
Who is going to create the next factory, fund the next startup, invest in the next technology, or take the next risk?
Destruction is not a production strategy.
It's almost like society pressures males to confirm to images and standards of masculinity and so all males desperately do anything they can to live up to this standard and prove they belong...
And in doing so.rhey might realize more and more that they hate it.
Almost.
I just don’t understand why these fetishised men have whole big beards before they “transition” and expect us to believe that it’s not just a creepy sexual fetish? No man would grow out an entire beard if he suffered with a genuine case of dysphoria & thought he was a woman🤦♀️🥴
It was one moment. It wasn't an entire session.
If you never had DM say "damn. That's just too good. No you got it. No roll needed"
Either your DM sucks. Or you do..
Just heard about Critical Role not using dice to determine important gameplay moments and I don't know if I should be either embarrassed or annoyingly bored at this point. Just stage a play already, this isn't even a game anymore.
In attempting to scold someone for missing the point for the set dressing you've done the same thing.
Starship troopers is about civic duty and sufferage.
It's about Heinleins ideals. Mandatory service to earn the right to paticpate ingoverment.
Here's a hint:
It's called "Starship Troopers". Not "The Big War with the Bugs".
There's a reason for that. Heinlein was one of the 20th century's greatest authors, if not THE greatest, and he was also the 20th century's greatest philosopher and it's not even close.
So he didn't name things by accident.
Starship Troopers isn't about the war. It isn't even about war. And it's certainly not about the fucking bugs.
All that shit is just stage dressing for the story is really about. That's why the book doesn't end with defeating the enemy. It ends with Rico meeting his father again, facing future fights together.
Starship Troopers is about the military life, the relationship between armies and the civilizations they serve, and what it means to be a soldier and a man.
Eurotrash communists failed to get the point, not merely because they have the "media literacy" of a sack of wet hammers, but also because they don't understand soldiering, civilization, or manhood.
So, yes, Verhoeven tried to make fun of Heinlein and failed miserably because Heinlein was a better storyteller, a better man, and a better human being by a margin so great that the Earth can barely encompass it.
But even though his failed satire makes humanity clearly the good guys, the war clearly righteous, and soldiers clearly cool and heroic, it still doesn't recapture the actual meaning of Starship Troopers.
Because the real themes were so invisible, so incomprehensible, to Verhoeven that he couldn't even see them to disagree with.
So enjoy the film for what it turned out to be... a fun, campy, morally unambiguous story of heroes squashing disgusting bugs. Suitable for popcorn consumption.
Then, read more Heinlein.
They said the same thing about powder wigs and fopish hats. They said the same thing of danish hairstyle. They said the same thing about every single cultural shift since the dawn of tribes.
Unpopular opinion: Hip-hop culture has done enormous damage to society.
It glorifies crime, promiscuity, materialism, and disrespect towards others, while convincing young men that these behaviors are admirable.
Society eventually becomes what it celebrates.
I love how guys like this always do this. You just can't grasp the idea that identity is way more complex and so they see all races swaps as of equal footing.
THE LEFT: “Helen of Troy is a mythical character, doesn’t matter what color her skin is.”
Ok great:
"Black Panther is a mythical character, doesn’t matter what color his skin is.”
"Storm is a mythical character, doesn’t matter what color her skin is.”
"Luke Cage is a mythical character, doesn’t matter what color his skin is.”
"Miles Morales is a mythical character, doesn’t matter what color his skin is.”
"Blade is a mythical character, doesn’t matter what color his skin is.”
"Cyborg is a mythical character, doesn’t matter what color his skin is.”
"Sam Wilson is a mythical character, doesn’t matter what color his skin is.”
"John Stewart is a mythical character, doesn’t matter what color his skin is.”
Liberals, I accept your terms.
A billionaires wealth does not come from the sale.ifna product.
Their wealth comes from undercutting their labor costs as much as possible so they can sell that product..
Billionaires don’t steal my money, dipshit.
Politicians and bureaucrats do.
If a billionaire gets my money, it’s because I paid for a product that he or she has made.
Literally only one of those things is actually a right wing specific ideal.
The fact that you think the rest are just shows that your ideology is mostly aesthetic and not grounded in real thought or belief.
You weirdo
Most of the best anime narratives embody right-wing ideology. Heroism, courage, loyalty, honor, family, strength, excellence, hierarchy, sacrifice, order, virtue, beauty.
All things completely foreign to hedonistic self-serving goons like you. Of course you wouldn't understand.
Because she is a tragic character who was cursed because of someone else's actions and she fled to isolate.herself and people came into her isolation to kill her for *checks notes*. Existing.
Neither of these people are "Democrats".
They may vote for Democrats but they do not hold any public office.
Clutch your pearls somewhere else. I see your ilk celebrating like his foe people you don't like all the time.
I don’t think this hantavirus thing is anything to worry about. The pandemic risk is extremely low. But the problem is that our “public health authorities” permanently destroyed their credibility with covid, so if there ever is an apocalyptic pandemic nobody will believe them.
