@ShitlibSupreme@ComChia430 George Lucas had something to say with the prequels, it was just beyond his abilities as a storyteller.
The sequel trilogy had none of that.
@idkijustthibk Aren't there technically two Palestinian states right now? Gaza and the West Bank?
And we're not counting them as the same state because their governments don't get along?
@ginny_wings@damnitskip I get what you're saying, but I don't think it's real comparable. One is just removing a bit of skin whereas the other is chopping off a girl's clit because they're afraid she might cuck her future husband if she actually enjoys sex.
@ginny_wings@damnitskip It's fine, it's not like we can remember it. Though there's a certain type of American man who constantly whines about it.
Although I do wonder if guys with foreskin ever get lint trapped down there like with your belly button?
@landOffering@SpamAcc93775191@digasdigasdigas@nagamyzuna What even is "the global left" at this point? What do you guys actually stand for?
Certainly not the downtrodden or the oppressed, because you're championing governments way more oppressive than America is.
@SpamAcc93775191@landOffering@digasdigasdigas@nagamyzuna Anti-Americanism isn't really a coherent political philosophy, it's just a contrarian temper tantrum that will ally with dictators, theocrats, and mass murderers so long as they're against whatever America is currently doing.
@ginny_wings Yeah. Between US Gen Z falling for puritan propaganda and the UK trying to create a digital panopticon to "protect the children" things have been rough.
@landOffering@digasdigasdigas@nagamyzuna Or maybe, just hear me out, you should support the continued existence of the liberal democracy you reside in and fix things from within rather than stan the revanchist kleptocracy that was briefly communist?
@felchen@Gystenghast@Enphian Why are people so obsessed with what we call our economic system or who ultimately owns the means of production?
Let's just slowly make changes as needed until we figure out what works best for us.
@rysenkari@ginny_wings I'd hesitate to to call them Democrats then. "Politically progressive" types in the US have been driving themselves toward the far-left side of the horseshoe.
@ginny_wings It's alright. The inner workings of another country's political system can be an enigma.
Like I don't really know how Argentinian political parties differentiate from each other or what a Peronist is?
