It’s wild how the UK still has FPTP despite having multiple third parties with double digit percentages. It’s not even like America where 95% vote D or R, Labour and the Tories are on 55% combined.

I’d recommend stuff like The Platform or Andor, definitely has the more hopeful vibes you’re looking for.

I’d say inserting a success story doesn’t really mix with the doomer tone of the movie which is just trying to depict how hard the odds are stacked against them because social mobility does not exist in South Korea. In the real world, no matter how cunning and smart the Kim family are they will never become equals with the idiots that are the Park family because society is not meritocratic in the slightest. The only real solution is replacing that society entirely but that’s a little too revolutionary to get made.

The real liberalism is Bong depicting police brutality in Memories of Murder as necessary because they’re too incompetent to actually investigate the murders properly

It does a lot more to lecture working class folks on solidarity than it does lecture the rich on the wealth inequality that fuels their servant-filled lifestyle but then again, you could literally beat them over the head with a rock and they wouldn’t get it (which literally does happen to Ki-woo).

I like the fact that to us it’s crystal clear why Mr Kim finally snaps at the disrespect his family is shown by Mr Park but the bourgeois audience sees nothing but the surface level of the movie and sees the Kim family as parasites. The naivety of the rich family is perfectly reflected in the people who see the movie and just don’t get why he stabs Park.

You’d think with Yiddish being a High German dialect and Ashkenazi cuisine being German and having them pay reparations for the Holocaust, this would be the first suggestion for a Jewish homeland. Of course, a Jewish homeland in Europe was never on the books and every suggestion was always some place as far away from Europe as possible.

At this point any government not trying to intervene is complicit in the crimes of israel. If the international rules based order means anything, 800 murdered in a hospital attack should erase any right for the state of israel to exist.

Crowd of thousands protesting in London right now. Haven’t seen a turnout like this since the summer of 2020

They forgot to mention the most effective type of protest:

Bringing peace to the middle east by getting stoned out of my mind in the desert listening to EDM

Any Trump wins on foreign policy come from him being incompetent. Openly starting a trade war with China to snap them out of their liberal funk is one of the greatest self owns of the empire.

There is no good option here, Smer might be the most anti-imperial party in central europe but they are still very socially conservative and as useless as any establishment SocDem party. I’m not saying the Progressives are any good either as they’ll try and hand over the reigns to the EU who totally won’t see them as another eastern european country to reap profits from but they are nominally pro-LGBT and not anti-roma.

The pro-EU/pro-Russia debate overshadows how awful all those options are, 3 former failed PMs in the running. The EU liberal leading the Progressive is probably the least terrible option although he’d probably be the one most for handing over power to the EU entirely.

One line of police dialogue referring to the game’s Scavengers faction has been altered from the English “Couldn’t all these assholes bite it out in the Badlands?” to a Ukrainian phrase that translates as “Couldn’t all this rusnia bite it out in the Badlands?” As Tarasov explains, “‘rusnia’ is a Ukrainian derogatory term for russians. Scavengers are the stereotypical Eastern European gang in the game’s universe.”

She just died? Wow.

One thing that really helped me overcome that complete lack of a stress response and learn how to study after avoiding it until college was putting myself into the right environments for certain things. I had no issues actually getting stuff done in class but at home there’s no external motivator to getting stuff done, I learnt i’d have to force myself to walk to the library every week at the same time to get any studying done.

Works for a lot of facets of life, if I want to workout I know I have to drag myself to the gym every week because i’m not going to workout regularly at home, if I want to watch a movie i’ll go see it at the cinema because i’ll pause it every 15 minutes if I watch it on TV.
