@dmeceit He’s easily the worst actor out of the main cast Rebecca Ferguson, Bardem, Isaac, Mamoa etc. literally hold him by his feet and shake him up and down until his lunch money falls out in every scene they’re together in
I feel we often overestimate how original people are throughout history. Most recorded myths and stories we have are rehashes of older, forgotten myths and stories. Vampires and werewolves are most likely rehashes of older folk creatures, in the same way they inspired new ones
as a society we need to invent another classic monster for the modern day, vampire, werewolf and frankenstein (etc) are all so iconic, why cant we invent some more
Here's what "Iraq War Propaganda" ACTUALLY sounded like:
George W. Bush in 2002:
“Islam is a vibrant faith. Millions of our fellow citizens are Muslim. We respect the faith. We honor its traditions. Our enemy does not. Our enemy doesn't follow the great traditions of Islam. They've hijacked a great religion.”
In 2003:
"In many Middle Eastern countries, poverty is deep and it is spreading, women lack rights and are denied schooling. Whole societies remain stagnant while the world moves ahead. These are not the failures of a culture or a religion. These are the failures of political and economic doctrines."
"It should be clear to all that Islam -- the faith of one-fifth of humanity -- is consistent with democratic rule. Democratic progress is found in many predominantly Muslim countries -- in Turkey and Indonesia, and Senegal and Albania, Niger and Sierra Leone. Muslim men and women are good citizens of India and South Africa, of the nations of Western Europe, and of the United States of America. "
The White House on Islam in 2002:
"This is not a war against Islam or any other religion."
"Islam promotes peace, understanding and justice — exactly the opposite of what the Taliban and the terrorists they harbor advocate."
"When we think of Islam we think of a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. Billions of people find comfort and solace and peace. And that's made brothers and sisters out of every race."
@belief32241 The timeline of this is so off the atheists they’re talking about are circa 2014-19. it has nothing directly to do with conflict in the Middle East it was a response to immigration, which you could argue has to do with conflict in the Middle East but I doubt that’s what they mean
@belief32241 When these dudes think of professors they think of an old white dude with a pipe who volunteered for Reagan back in the day but in reality it’s an old white dude with a bong who dapped up Huey Newton back in the day
