The biggest enemy to Marx is Darwin. Once humans can overcome human nature - and Nature - Marx can defeat Darwin. Until then the revolutions will continue.
@VenMoonSer@EricLDaugh Amazing how the Left projects homophobia on the Right, yet when the Right gets a formidable gay man they become the most homophobic and hateful people around.
@ultra_kidney There should have been a half-hearted attempt to not matchup teams we have seen play countless times this season in the Supers. The field is big and we want to see cross-conference matchups.
@dominiclisti Not as much of a guaranteed return in baseball however. Ask LSU or UCLA or A&M. Success can be bought much more easily in other sports.
@DavidMarts13 Exactly. And even if money is being dished out it’s obvious the return on it isn’t the same. Teams like LSU did t even make the post season, UCLA/Texas A&M get bounced early. Sure, money has an impact but it isn’t the millions like other sports.
See the thing about baseball is it’s the one major college sport NIL hasn’t really affected yet and is still what college sports was originally all about.
This is so sick and feels like what all of college sports used to feel like
A lot of people not from the South confuse Appalachian culture with “southern.” It stems from industrial north easterners running into that culture when leaving the big cities. There’s places in central/southern MS and Alabama where the French, Old Virginia South and Appalachia all meet up. You can cross the Pearl River near Jackson where Appalachians descended from the North and immediately notice a difference. Yet the old architecture in downtown Jackson or Natchez is the exact same style as in the French Quarter. The difference in Delta farmers and coasties couldn’t be more stark. In New Orleans the differences are block to block.
@RevSum@HuntPalmer88 Did they do this publicly? Should we let them do it now? I’ve been in the game for 25 years and still coach it. And smoking and drinking from the 20’s through the 50’s was considered very normal behavior.
One of the big reasons for the current lack of patriotism and pride in our nation’s history is that about 40 years ago our most prominent storytellers in Hollywood just basically stopped telling stories about American history altogether, unless it has something to do with WW2, civil rights, or slavery. I mean they just released a movie about the meteorologist who did the weather report for D-Day. They’ll give WW2 weathermen their own movies before they tell a story from any other era of American history.
The Right has attempted to counteract this a little bit, but “conservative” attempts at American history films and TV shows are invariably hokey and kid friendly, the kind of thing you can watch with your grandmother and your 5 year old, and you’ll all be equally informed and bored by the experience.
We need R-rated adult-oriented American history stories. Daniel Boone should have his own series. It would be gritty and violent and not for children, but it would also be phenomenally entertaining and put an American legend back on the cultural map, so to speak. The fact that Daniel Boone hasn’t been depicted on screen at all since like the 60s is a travesty. Throw a dart at that guy’s Wikipedia page and you’ll land on something that could be its own feature length trilogy.
That’s just one example. How is there not a great R-rated movie or series about Antietam? Or Kit Carson? Or the Panama Canal? How does Theodore Roosevelt not have like 10 movies about different periods of his life?
You could go much farther back to pre-American history. A movie about Cortes’s conquest of Tenochtitlan would be tremendous and horrifying and fascinating, and it would introduce into the public consciousness one of the world’s most incredible stories that most Americans know next to nothing about. And on and on.
The possibilities are literally endless. All of these movies, if they’re executed to even a B+ level, could make hundreds of millions of dollars and transform the culture in a way that a million podcast monologues never could. If the Right actually wants to reclaim the culture, this is the place to start.
