Greatoneshere Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 1 minute ago, AbsolutSurgen said: I think you need to look at what was happening in Germany in 1944. They still caged minorities first before putting them in gas chambers. We're comparing the first part, not the second part, given that's the image you shared. No one here said that separating families at the border and putting children alone in cages with each other is the same as the Holocaust, but it's still pretty fucking bad. Show me one post in this thread where someone said that. The image you showed was of minorities behind caged walls, not gas chambers. That's the comparison.

Also, the Rise of the Resistance ride is fucking awesome. Like, the line experience itself is so good that I thought the ride had started.

Though, he's going full bore with loving this character and actor and I think that's a mistake because it's carrying him to places that shouldn't be ventured into :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 1 hour ago, Bataar said: Prove it. In what way am I wrong? Pascal falsely claimed that immigrant children being temporarily held in cages and being cared for while their parents were going through the sanctuary process is the same as Nazis keeping Jewish children in cages where they were tortured and killed. Both are bad, but they are clearly not equal. Carano claimed that just like normal citizens were encouraged to attack and revile Jews, now, normal citizens are encouraged to attack and revile people based on their politics. Again, both are bad, but they are clearly not equal. However, her comparison is more accurate than Pascals as people are being attacked and canceled for merely having different opinions, whereas none of those kids in cages were tortured and killed. Are you fucking kidding me with this shit? Did you miss the news of hundreds of children that were separated from their parents, and no one knows how to reunite them? Many of those children were "adopted" into White families (by the way a form of genocide)? The forced hysterectomies (hey look another form of genocide)? Just because there's no gas chambers doesn't mean the comparisons between the concentration camps of Nazi Germany, and the concentration camps at the southern border (yes they are technically concentration camps) aren't apt. What's next, gonna say Trump isn't a wannabe fascist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputator Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 2 hours ago, Commissar SFLUFAN said: The context for that analogy is INFINITELY more applicable than the nonsense that she came up with. She compared a political party that UTTERLY DOMINATES most of the political units in the United States to a minority that was hounded and persecuted for centuries in Germany prior to the Nazis. Give me a fucking break. Nuance is a concept lost on the non-intellectuals. No one said you couldn't compare Jews in concentration camps to anything else ever again. The idea is you can't compare online backlash to political views to being beaten/raped/murdered for being a Jew. Actually that's not nuance at all, that's a really freakin distinct difference.

cusideabelincoln Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 The irony of her tweet is I'm pretty sure the average Republican hates - deeply, spitefully, dangerously - hates Democrats more than the vice versa. The shit I see conservatives say on Facebook is exactly the "warning" Gina was trying to convey. Republicans don't want unity, don't want compromise, and don't care about "feelings". They only want it their way, and if they don't get it then they try to ostracize the other side and actively turn neighbors against each other. This is exactly what happened on Jan 6th. A group of people were fed lies, fed anger, and that led to action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I’m glad she’s gone. She had shit acting ability. Dialog, in make believe and real life are clearly not her forte. Other than representing thic women, she brought nothing to the role. It’s not even like her MMA roots were leveraged. She use blasters. Her trying to act her way through a scene was the worst part of any episode she was in. as for politics, these celebrities need to wake the fuck up. I don’t mean get woke and be a liberal. I mean shut the ever living fuck up on social media. They may as well pretend to have no political beliefs. it’s not that “no one cares”, because it’s that everyone fucking cares. Regular, ordinary people have been fired over social media posts that were meant to be a joke that offended people. Why do people think somebody like Disney wouldn’t fire somebody over a politically troll post online? It’s not like Mando season 3 can’t go on without her. She’s an idiot, beyond her political beliefs. This is not a free speech issue. This is an example that what we say can have consequences. She’s not special.

Bacon Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Haaa... sigh... I didn't want to have to give my take on this but... That flex scene with Chris Evans is super memorable it is totally the superhero version of the classic ass shot. Not a movie. butt I almost can believe there are people who have seen all the movies but don't recall that gratuitous exploitation of the male form. It felt like the start of a Carl's Jr. commercial but with a guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 The only memorable Marvel movies are the space ones like the Thor 2 and 3 and GOTG because they don't take place on earth and don't involve flying cities/fortresses Also Thor was fat in Endgame (?) which is more memorable than a bicep flex. How about that @Komusha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
