Yet to see the “9000-year old demon/dragon presents as a scantily-clad 9 year old girl” trope appear in Hollywood. Japan has it’s own flavor of reaction

We have that in Avatar, and the chuds all hated it because the face of absolute evil was the face of the American military. They all cried about “nuance” and how there’s “no plot” because to them water running downhill isn’t interesting, they’re waiting for the “swerve” and it never comes. They are waiting for their fable to impart the wisdom that “nothing can ever change for the better” that normally comes from Hollywood, and it never comes. Which forces them to confront that they are the baddies, which they cannot do, so they make up the myth that there’s “no plot” because the actual plot cannot be internalized by them.

the guy who runs twitter literally believes in great replacement of whites by the jews and throws sieg heils. Not sure why this would surprise anybody.

As soon as the demons appear, and then later the shonen school arc begins, Frieren collapses from something special and unique back into lukewarm anime slop.

All anime has this shit. Post-war Japanese culture is basically Imperial Japanese reactionary brainworms combined with American/capitalist imported brain worms. I am yet to find basically any anime that isn’t contaminated by reactionary tropes, misogyny, SA (the “lucky tumble” trope), racism, pedophilia, bio-essentialism, fascist fantasies (obsession with strength, harems, world domination, innate superiority), etc. It’s deeply embedded in anime culture. Even shows like Frieren that “defy tropes” still fall into them. Even critically acclaimed anime popular in the west has this shit in it. It’s why people used to be ashamed to publicly admit they watched it, because anyone who wasn’t in the anime-cult who watched an anime used to be immediately disgusted by these things. It’s not a good sign that enjoying these fascist fantasies has become normalized in the west, it’s a sign that these pedophilic and fascist brainworms are much more widespread than even before, or at least that publicly admitting you are a pedophile-adjacent reactionary has become much more acceptable.

Miyazaki films are the one exception I can think of, and that’s because Miyazaki is basically a communist who hates reactionary Japanese and Anime culture.

the “risk” they take is becoming slightly less rich, or at worst, becoming proletarianized like the rest of us if they fail.

Oh boo hoo, worst case scenario you might have to work and live like us humans do.

I can agree to that, but there were absolutely domestic terrorist elements in the al nusra front as well as foreign ones.

Us: Ukrainian militants are filled with Nazis

Libs: Yeah, but so are Russian militias so it’s a wash

The “Russian Militias” in question:

Have the duped Syrians figured it out yet? Jolani is not their leader, he is their prison warden

Pluribus but it’s a papist conspiracy

80% of Nazis killed in the war were put there by the USSR. 80% of the logistics and manpower of the allied portion of the war. What chauvinists call the “Eastern Front” (since they default to German POV) is actually the primary and central front. Everything else is secondary or tertiary.

Bring 1 gallon water to a boil, add salt…

it’s that bell-curve IQ meme with 196 on the left and ultraleft on the right, and us chads right in the center

i’ll take one radlib please, heavy on the lib

You either die alone in your one-bedroom apartment, or live long enough to die alongside your roommates in your studio.

This conversation happened right after his death in 2019 when trump was president

it happened in 2019 under trump lmao

I guess bust wasn’t the right term, but it definitely wasn’t the decisive counter those in the anti-imperialist sphere had hoped and coped for (all the talk of the millenium challenge, etc.)

They hit a mossad base and a couple time at an airbase. In exchange Israel wiped out all of Iran’s entire civilian leadership and air defense grid. It was still an exchange in Israel’s favor

i tried to explain this to my normie CNN-watching mother when it first happened. I laid out the 10 consecutive things in a row that were all evidence he was murdered (having a roommate with a violent criminal record when he wasn’t supposed to, having sheets when he wasn’t supposed to, all of the cameras going out simultaneously, both guards being “asleep” simultaneously, the neck injury requiring significant force, more than a short drop…) she just rolled her eyes and said something to the effect of “do you really think all of the authorities are lying?”

Some people really outsource all their critical thinking to the “authorities”. We fear the AI doing everyone’s critical thinking for them, but this has been going on for a while. TV beams the truth directly into noggin.
