We’ll become a loosely affiliated group of city-states who end up controlling resources due to their larger economies and wow, here’s another dystopian future possibility.

Thank you Mr. Spicer for your service. You have done an incredible service for this country by delivering a clear, unambiguous message: it’s working. If there’s one thing to take away from this “press conference” it’s that everything we’re doing, everything we are achieving together is genuinely and legitimately…

“Economic terrorism” is not people putting their bodies on the line to protect their planet and/or their civil rights. Economic terrorism is financial de-regulation, it is white families owning sixteen times more wealth on average than black families, it is privatization of public resources, it is eight individuals…

Since Jane who very much is an ignorant slut dismissed my comment, I’ll repost it here:

Captain James Tiberius Kirk approves. Star Trek had lots of (implied) interspecies fucking.

Long time lurker but I just had to comment on this. I feel exactly the same as you. And it feels like a knife in the back is how mainstream feminism has accepted porn as “cool” and “expressive” and if you don’t like it you’re a “prude”. I think blow jobs are disgusting, I think anal sex is disgusting and I don’t care…

Every time I look at the picture of him with his finger pointed in the air, mid-shout, I get chills. It’s horrifying and yet it’s one of the best-composed pictures I’ve ever seen; the tie still ramrod-straight and yet tilted with the raising of his arm, the fact that the gun is almost an after-thought in his moment of…

Not that it mattered to the Nazis.

I had a fair number of friends ask me after the election why I was so worried about Trump and the dark forces he’s tapped in to.

Beginning to switch my view from “oh, isn’t it cute, people hate us Jews again. How 1930's” to “oh, shit.”

Rabbi Altmann and his secretary were sitting in a cafe in Berlin in 1935. “Herr Altmann,” said his secretary, “You’re reading Der Stürmer! I can’t understand why. A Nazi libel sheet! Are you some kind of masochist, or, God forbid, a self-hating Jew?”

I think you just need to be specific that you are criticizing the current prime minister/government and the Israeli right-wing and not (1) imply that Israel shouldn’t exist or (2) bring up Israel in things that are just about Jewish people. For example, there are horrible human rights abuses in China. It’s OK to say…

Actually, no. Criticizing Likud, or Kadima, Shas, Labor, etc, is something most Israelis do on a regular basis. Nothing anti-Semitic about it whatsoever.

The conventional wisdom is, as Charlie noted, that BSG took themes of political darkness that Ron Moore had played with on DS9 and cranked them up to eleven. Having been watching some of both lately, I think I've come around to the opinion that I first read from Abigail Nussbaum- that while BSG is more unrelentingly…
