Buddy Holly In My Ass
Music from 2004-2010 is the best and all other music is for old people or stupid kids.
It’s easy enough to spin up a fake school, Trump did it.
You gotta tell them you want it for science, then you gotta submit some forms.
This whole time I assumed Durmstrang included Russia.
Right at the start of the video - does the cameraperson zoom in on a Pepsi bottle that someone took a sip out of and put back on the shelf!? They’re not supposed to be that empty, I don’t think.
edit: compare it to the ones on the shelf below it, it’s got like a quarter inch less soda in it then they do.
okay for some reason the thumbnail had me thinking this was a Saddam Hussein meme.
the tens of millions of dead both, Stalin and Mao, were responsible for.
Oh no! Won’t somebody think of the Nazis and Japanese invaders?
the authority they feel they deserve
Facists argue that a certain group deserves authority, communists argue precisely the opposite, that the current regime with authority doesn’t deserve it and it should be apportioned equally and democratically instead. Because you live in a world where 99% of the media is controlled by the capitalists, you have been conditioned since birth to believe that every single movement of the people was actually a movement of a small group of elites, and that the countries that are currently exclusively controlled by their elites are in some way democratic.
I’m pretty sure the average age on HB is mid-late twenties.
hexbear’s emoji heavy posting style
That’s the thing I miss the most since moving to .ee :pain:
It’s called Kirchensteuer and it’s deducted from your paycheck automatically if you’re on the church rolls. You get put on the church rolls as a kid if your parents get you baptised. You can get yourself taken off but it’s a whole process, the system is clearly designed to keep as many people paying the tax as possible.
I would love so much to see a modern remake of this film that was based on Vasily Zaitsev’s firsthand account of the battle, rather than the pop historical one it ended up drawing most of its information from. Good luck getting it past American censors in the current political climate, though.
IIRC Grindelwald kills a baby in the very first scene he’s in in the first movie, so that’s how they establish that he’s evil.
Its weird but notable that all of JKR’s work in the Potterverse since book seven came out has been about how changing the past is bad. The Cursed Child was all about how going back in time to save Cedric Diggory’s life would somehow cause Voldemort to win, and then there’s this trilogy which explains that the Wizards couldn’t prevent the Holocaust because some unexplained worse thing would have happened.
It’s like JKR saw that “how it should have ended” short where Snape uses the time turner to kill Voldemort with a gun and took it way too seriously.
His next film is going to contain major elements that are AI generated, I guarantee it.
The Hobbit. I’ve probably seen “worse” films from a technical perspective, but that remains the only movie where I’ve left the theater angry, although that may have been because I was only getting got one day off per week at that time and so every hour of it I spent going to, watching, and returning home from that awful film was rage-inducing.
Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm. I’m one of the people who defends the first ATHF movie because it perfectly captures the dadaist stoner energy of the show, but god damn was ATHF’s return disappointing. It took me a couple tries to be able to sit through this film, because even as a “second screen” activity it was grating to me and I kept having to turn it off.
The comrade in it actually suggests that there is a time and place for such rhetoric
Perhaps now is the time.
The kulaks were not an ethnic minority persecuted by the bolsheviks as a scapegoat for society’s ills. They were the economic class directly responsible for many of those ills. They were the capitalists of the peasantry, enclosing land and claiming ownership over what should have been the common means of production, precisely the kind of group that communists the world over want to destroy in order to liberate the majority of people.
When it was written that the kulaks were to be “liquidated”, it did not mean that they were to be mass executed, it meant that their private property was to be moved into public ownership, ending the existence of the kulak class and making them into regular workers.
As is the case in every single campaign of economic or social justice, the privileged class fought back with everything they had. Kulaks contributed to the Soviet Famine of 1930-1933 by mass slaughtering their cattle and burning their fields. Kulaks hoarded grain, took the wealth that they had stolen from their neighbors and fled the country, plotted sabotage and insurrection against the workers’ movement. And for those crimes, many Kulaks were caught and executed.
So if the original commenter’s great grandparents were kulaks who “suffered at the hands of the soviet union,” they deserved it.
The Falun Gong are, right now, kidnapping children and brainwashing them into being performers for their shitty dance troupe. These performers are not paid, cannot leave The Compound, and cannot contact their family. That’s a cult that the government should stamp out.
Hexbear is a bunch of people with a different opinion on the western world’s designated Enemy Governments. They’re not in the same ballpark, or even playing the same sport.
I read “groom” as “goon” and for a second thought the marriage had been annulled when the woman saw her new husband’s basement.
