@regularaugust A huge amount of American serial killers have military backgrounds lmao. Leanord Lake and Charles Ng literally met via a survivalist magazine that catered to marines

So, critics get to lean in on what's NOT in MICHAEL, but probably won't say a peep about letting Tony be TONY (which looks amazing by the way...)

Where it all began. Dominic Sessa is Anthony Bourdain in TONY — from director Matt Johnson, in theaters this August.

What would you say is the most evil movie ever made? Not "ohh it's so bad it's a crime" I mean movies with actively malicious messages, people or production cycles

@cowboy_postbop Everyone mostly remembers the Bob Seger underwear slide moment from Risky Business when the rest of the movie is borderline a Michael Mann film

are there other pieces of media with as wide a gap between its assumed vibe and its actual vibe as “Saturday Night Fever”?

@kickassvargas @BrndnStrssng Hey, not trying to intrude, just think that’s a bit of a wild comparison even if it’s throwaway

@KnuckleBuzzo @BrndnStrssng hey man it’s not that deep, I’m just conversing with my friend lol

This is definitely a difference in cultures thing. A lot of the community I grew up with loves Michael but rarely talks about the allegations. It seems like a whole different community can never not bring it up. Idk it’s something I’ve observed since I can remember lol

I guess the internet makes the lunatics visible but I feel like it was just common knowledge and the general consensus that the guy was a creep. Alongside the great music, it was like, *the* thing we all knew about him. When did that become controversial?

@kickassvargas @BrndnStrssng I cant believe I’m defending morrisey but using him as a comparison to MJ in terms of “forgetting the worst things about people” is insane lol
English
@BrndnStrssng Nope not saying that at all. It’s a criticism I have — now I’m going to stick Latino communities here because it’s not my place to discuss anyone else — of my community because we tend to just forgive and forget the worst things about people lol I mean we love Morrisey!

@BrndnStrssng Genuinely just when he died. It’s nuts how much people have memory holed it all but in the 2000s he was as synonymous with CSA as Epstein is now. His estate basically astroturfed his reputation and now anyone under like 30 hardly remembers this

I had been in NYC barely an hour earlier today when I saw a truck towing what I believe to be an unoccupied Iranian monarchist parade float

In our interview Evan says “anarchism needs to be eradicated as an ideology” because it promotes an infantile “notion of an ethical solidarity of all peoples against all regimes,” equating “imperialist, Jewish supremacist, or white supremacist formations,” and “anti-imperialist state and national movements in the periphery.” Full conversation will be published on YouTube soon.

Anarchism is “a self-neutralizing, non-ideology in many respects” that fails to “identify the primary contradiction” as imperialism, said Evan Katsounis, a US-Greek anti-imperialist organizer, in an interview with VPol journalist @CallaWalsh. ￭ “The statephobia that is inherent to anarchism” promotes a “notion of an ethical solidarity of all peoples against all regimes,” erasing the distinction between states that are “imperialist, Jewish supremacist, or white supremacist formations,” and the “anti-imperialist state and national movements within the periphery” struggling for liberation through their state-building projects. ￭ “To be across the board in a dogmatic and uncritical way against all states in all circumstances… is an infantile analysis,” said Katsounis, arguing that organizers within the imperial core should focus on “building a strategy around anti-imperialist international principles in support of national liberation movements.” ￭ Full interview will be published on VPol’s Youtube soon.

@YoungerPope @capybaroness To be fair, they literally weren't doing anything tho. They were just doing their job. Like, what were they supposed to do, not bring her to the hospital😭
English
it's sick how they just lied for a whole month about how the ice storyline would "show both sides" lol. that's how a real tv show handles business.

If you're Irish and you support ICE your ancestors would fucking spit on you, by the way.

@Workshops4Gaza It’s bad enough that you defend pedos and fascists but the worst thing is how much of a whiney little bitch you are about being called out on it.

Tried to dispel a racist western lie that the Iranian government supports child marriage…hundreds of retweets saying we are defending child marriage 🫠

@shanearmagh22 Morality and ideological consistency need to be enforced to maintain social discipline and stability, you stupid liberal.

Persepolis is such a stupid, self-hating psyops that self-alienates its "own people" and pandering to the Western (specifically French) liberal. The girl's country was literally in a total war, and she is complaining about being unable to wear "Punk's not dead" or something.
English
@DeemTheDreem yeah so this ended up being bullshit and you ended up just falling for it and signalboosting a schizphrenic calling for Kurdish genocide. Great observations, roach.

been obvious for a while, but the US left has been slow on the uptake because it would mean a couple of uglies they looked up to are CIA assets.

@LandonHJohnson @ryanmcquade77 Sinners aestheticizes firearms far more than OBAA what the hell are you talking about lmao. Every single frame of MBJ using one is framed to emphasize the weapon and make it look as cool as possible (because guess what, guns are cool)
English
Context matters. In SINNERS the guns are about survival and protection in a specific historical reality. The image I posted aestheticizes the weapon itself. It’s literally the spectacle of the gun. Those are very different cinematic ideas. That’s the difference between narrative context and glorification. IMO
English
Imagine thinking a gun-glorifying film should take Best Picture over the historic achievement that is SINNERS. #Oscars
English
@LandonHJohnson @ryanmcquade77 Also explain to me how a biracial girl being literally hunted by white supremacists and gunning them down isn’t about “survival in a specific reality” you fucking moron
