we’re all too busy trying to out holier-than-thou each other, rather than actually accomplishing anything of value.

That he is a white dude still isn’t a critique of the movie/trailer. It’s a critique of the choice of actors—a critique based in no analysis of the plot beyond “GREAT WALL! CHINA!”

Maybe it’s best to wait and see if his presence makes sense? Rather than yet another example of the white, liberal internet rushing to the…

The issue is that a bunch of wrong assumptions were made about this movie based upon a poster and a preview—and when the assumptions turned out to be wrong, rather than just drop it, we are doubling down.

Have you seen the movie?

It’s not just faux-rage, it’s precisely the reason why real concerns about diversity and fairness get lost. The initial impression of this movie by “the left” (i guess) was wrong, and rather than just dropping it, we must die on yet another meaningless hill.

So critique the trailer, not some perceived hiring slight.

Just keep driving—you’re almost to Austin.

We should be concerned?

I think that if the US had better handled the aftermath of the revolution and the overthrow of a puppet dictator, the lives of Cubans would have been significantly better. Instead, the US was obstinate and militant, leading to Castro matching that militarism. So, in the wake of that, we have 2 countries refusing to…

If you install someone into power who perpetrates the same kind of evil (Pinochet, for example) the distinction you speak of becomes less clear.

In fact, you could point to the US support for Batista as responsible for the inevitable violent revolution that was bound to follow.

The “difficult concept” that seems to be…

For Trump he’s a perfect fit...so long as he bends the knee

Harold Ford is self-promoting garbage.

A Stereolab burn? Ahhh man... every band doesn’t need to rock one’s face off; sometimes you just need to lay in the grass, stare off into space, and eventually realize you’re still hearing that same chord from earlier. moooooooooooog

God help the left if it can no longer take a joke.

honest question: what percentage of those voters do you think reviewed HRC’s job creation policies and compared them to Trump’s? Conversely, what percentage heard Trump say “I will bring back your jobs” and just flat believed it?

It is very hard to respond to the real concerns of people if they are not interested in…

Bold negotiator? Or awkward dork?

The reason too many people don’t take real examples of sexism and rape culture seriously? Shit like this.  

So long as “Y” isn’t something like “stealing office supplies.” The lack of specificity leads people to believe the worst.

The word “gosh” is the perfect warning that what is to follow will be some egregious self-flattery.
