I'm not as funny as I think I am.

I'm constantly astounded that people don't get just how deeply the idea of "Screw you, I do what I want" is ingrained into American culture.

@CanadaFP It was an intentional massacre of peaceful protesters. They ran over their bodies with tanks so they could spray the remains into the sewers instead of carrying them off for cremation.

@DavidJohnButler @BradRTorgersen If you ever need an movie for a "Bad Movie Night", this one should be near the top. It's terrible. Really terrible. But it's still quite enjoyable to watch. There are some fun scenes and it's just kind of insane.
Had something like five different re-writes by different writers.

@AviWoolf I'm curious to see an outsider's perspective of Mormon cultural impact.
I know we're over-represented in science fiction and fantasy literature, but aside from that, I don't see many mainstream depictions that are positive. But that just might be negativity bias.

@Mr_spacely777 Well, he's not wrong. The problem was that even though it was decreed, very few followed that decree.
In fact, Columbus got in trouble for enforcing the laws equally on the Taino and Spaniards alike. It made him enemies who lied to the monarchs about his actions.

I understand why the British have difficulty comprehending how we Americans refuse to submit to and obey our alleged betters. We’re Americans and we don’t have betters, even among other Americans.
We’re not subjugating journalists. We’re treating them with the respect they have earned, and if that amount is low, that’s a reflection of their behavior.
In America, those who hold important institutions in society answer to us, not vice versa, and if they fail, they will be appropriately chastised.

@5Pillarsuk I don't think they are, mate.

Anarcho communists are my favorite communists because they're the only ones who looked at every communist experiment ending in authoritarianism and concluded the problem was that there wasn't enough wishful thinking.

Their entire political theory is: "Nobody will own anything, nobody will enforce anything, nobody will have authority over anyone, and somehow everyone will voluntarily obey communist rules forever."

It's less a political philosophy than a trust fall with civilization.

The moment someone says, "No thanks, I'd rather keep my property and trade voluntarily," the whole theory faces its first encounter with reality and immediately starts looking for a government to pretend it isn't one.
