seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

Guys Jared Leto is extremely wealthy from his music career, has been acting since he was a teenager, executive produces many of the films he stars in and literally has his own "cult." Stop being surprised that he keeps being cast despite not being a draw, it's not actually a huge mystery.

Yeah, sure, sarcasm, thanks. Always great to get when you voice an honest opinion.

I really can't stand that movie mainly because I can't listen to Leto waffling on about how awesome it is to have slaves in a 10 minute monologue.

Let's be clear on who Christopher Columbus was, a conquerer who spread disease & slavery who was so sadistic in the ways he treated natives he appalled the architects of the Spanish Inquisition. That's the fact of him there is to reclaim.

The only difference between Peter Thiel and a homeless person raving about the end of the world is that Thiel can afford to rent a hall while the homeless guy makes do with a subway platform.

Thiel’s talks, which began on 15 September and ended on Monday, were long and sweeping, mingling biblical passages, recent history and philosophy and sometimes deviating into conspiracy theories. He peppered them with references to video games and TV shows along with musings on JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. He likewise recalled conversations with Elon Musk and Benjamin Netanyahu and spoke at length about how he thinks Bill Gates is “a very, very awful person”.

Or while you are at it the founding of the state of Israel. Before 1948 there was no state of Israel, what happened there? Kinda just magically popped into existence? No colonial powers involved there whatsoever? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History...

Again, reading comprehension. I never said that. I just said that states don't have a RIGHT TO EXIST. That's not a thing, legally or otherwise.

Apologies if I bothered you with the notion that the American Empire might not be as welcome in other countries as you were taught.

Your Cyberpunk Future @lady8jane.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, that's what they tell you. It's propaganda, mainly.

Also some of your bases are due to you being on the winning side of WW2. Those countries certainly didn't have a choice.

Today I learned that the French equivalent of German’s eierlegende Wollmilchsau (lit. egg-laying wool-milk-sow,” your special unicorn all-in-one solution) is the mouton à cinq pattes (the 5-legged sheep). I love languages.

I mean, you have military bases in other countries too. Not seeing where the problem is tbh.

Your Cyberpunk Future @lady8jane.bsky.social · 2d

You may want to work on your reading comprehension. I didn't say that states are not a thing, I said that states CHANGE ALL THE TIME. Go ahead and try to find Yugoslavia or the German Democratic Republic or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on a current map and you will see what I mean.

States in general don't have a right to exist. That's not a thing. States are legal entities that change all the time. The split up, reform, merge with other states, occupy each other, take territory from each other. Treating them like they are a body that shouldn't be harmed is absurd.
