We all live under the same sky. Antifascist, anticapitalist, feminist, anti-racist, anti-imperialist, humanist. Somehow still convinced we can make the world a better place because we absolutely must. End capitalism before it ends us.

No intl journalists were allowed into gaza because israel didnt wsnt the world to see this (picture of totally destroyed city)
Almost every school hospital and mosque reduced to dust. And the journalists who stayed? Targetted for telling the truth. Gaza looks like the aftermath of the apocalypse

But do you actually like the sequels? I absolutely adore the original despite all its flaws and silliness (partly because it so firmly defines the early to mid-80s for me, when I was a teenager), but I hated Legacy (it's the Anti-Tron) and have no desire any sequel after that.

I went through a lot of kreteks in the 90s, especially Djarums. A friend and I would be at a 24 hour coffee house playing chess until 6am, and you could smoke indoors in those days. My version of a wild Friday night.

Still trying to act like it was an Egyptian ship.

I'd say the invading and death squads and constant economic and political extortion etc etc is the problem. Not admitting to it is kinda secondary.

Of course this self-consciously stuffy prose is the perennial posture of the fascist: evoking glories to which they were not party, for generations who do not remember them, in pursuit of horrors they must wreathe in layers of irony and mummery to disguise their ugly reality.

Not to be "that guy", but shouldn't it be "sifu" for this clip? Ok, I guess I'm being that guy.

I used to think the need for a united opposition was more important than my desire to avoid infuriating assholes like this.

Ten months later and these people are still saying the most viciously stupid and unhinged shit about the left and I'm done. Blocking them all for mental health reasons now.

The weird French vibe was what made the original so endearing, while the sequels are just mindless dystopia slop. Look how gloriously silly this was:

The people who think of politics like a team sport are fine with all that when it's their guy doing it. They only care when the *other* team does it. My team good, their team bad.

I'm begging Americans once again to read a damn book. A pamphlet, even. Words have actual meanings.

It absolutely did end with Kissinger. There's no possible credibility after that.

About 3 seconds after I posted I realized I should have said something like "in his wildest dreams he could never be as cool as Henchman 21"

Now it's in mine. I'm in favor of a full rewind to Saturday morning kids TV in the 70s. LotL, HR Puffnstuff, Sigmund and the Seamonsters, the Banana Splits, which I've just now realized were all Krofft brothers shows, that one with the talking dune buggy, etc
