I watched that shit on release date. :

Oh same. Friday nights baby! X-files followed by beyond belief, and I think by unsolved mysteries.

Dem’s are setting up for a Tucker/ Owens victory in 2028.

Yeah Trump gets no bump from this.

It’s the illusion of reason

70/80’s were a period of time right after the civil rights movement, so they had to acknowledge racism existence as material. 90/00’s try and pretend that they live in a post racial landscape while the world still very structurally racist (I mean look at Clinton and the crime bill for the quintessential example).

If you were closer to the civil rights movement you had to engage with the fact that racism was real, and mockery contempt, absurdist, reductionist approaches work well for that

This is the point cancel culture misses (and I absolutely support some cancellations).

Throwing it back even further, Blazing Saddles is a great example of a writer/director and some of the best comedy actors of all time using racism to undermine racism.

Is that thumbnail a scene from 12 monkeys?

yea, theyre cute and all, but i wouldnt start masturbating if one talked to me.

ftfy

everyone I know enjoys a coupla hooters.

a small amount of jailtime is a slap on the wrist. A scolding is nothing.

Grabbed a 128gbachine right before the rampockolypse.

Finished filling out my nas with 14 tb drives a few weeks ago…

I think at its roots its like, you have to be willing to consider things first. You have to start with a willingness to believe.

Or at least thats Mulders MO in the show.

Scully is the scientist, the hard nosed skeptic.

If you haven’t watched the show, it actually has aged decently, if its a bit campy.

The entire fandom:

go on…

Weird desire to sit on your balls and tell them what I want for Christmas.

This thread even 18 hrs later:

You insist on not trying to understand

No, its that you continue to insist that your “nuance” isn’t apoligism.

I’m done.

This isn’t a train station. No need to announce your departure. Everyone here can read your words and judge you for themselves, and they are, and they see you apologizing for genocide. You should take the time of your departure to mediate on why that might be.

The thing is called a thing and should be called a thing.

Ok. Well thats not what you are doing and its not what German law or Feddit is doing. People are trying to call a thing a thing, and are getting push back saying “You can’t call this thing that thing”.

You are doing the thing people are accusing you of; you are apologizing for genocide, not resisting it.

Look at the response in context of Feddit. Its not a critique of you, per se, its a critique of the German law/ idealogical approach. Lets suggest, in your words, a full “national socialist” genocide is at least possible in this day and age. The world did no know the full extent of Germany’s action until well into the process.

If we rely on the logic of the German approach, we wouldn’t be able to call the thing a thing until its too late. The point being made is that if you wait long enough to be able to a full historical analysis, you’ve effectively become an apologist for genocide on the basis of a lack of evidence.

And I would argue that Israels actions over the previous 80 years are extremely comparable to what the National Socialists did in Germany, and in some ways, even more disgusting. Germany ran concentration camps for around 12 years. Israel has been running them for almost 80. Germany treated it as a war of extermination. Israel is running it as a war of extermination. What other than a death camp would you call Israelli detention facilities?

The only difference is that we have the opportunity to stop Israel in its tracks, now, as its becomes clear the Israelies are not going to stop until the entire Palestinian population is eliminated. Disallowing or diminishing comparisons between the most famous historical genocide and the ongoing Israeli genocide in Palestine supports genocide
