Personally I'd be more inclined to focus on this than whatever you think is going to happen with the Russia thing.

It's definitely happening - I think they've finished shooting it and there's a placeholder page for it on Netflix if you search. I think they showed a bit of footage at SDCC.

I never thought I'd be under fire for going too soft on Trump voters, let me tell ya!

I don't really know what prompted this question. I didn't advocate for killing Republican voters, but I won't ever rule out violent resistance against resurgent fascism. We didn't win last time by wringing our hands every time a Nazi got punched in the fucking face.

If he was compos mentis enough to have that as a goal, he'd be able to achieve it without sounding like a halfwit with tertiary syphilis.

No disagreement here.

To roughly paraphrase someone whose name I can't remember right now: "Not all of Trump's supporters are racist, but they all decided racism wasn't a deal-breaker."

Yeah, fair point.

Christ if only that were true. You'd still have the President pussyfooting around his neo-Nazi core base, but you wouldn't have to contend with the fact that millions upon millions of people who don't know who Kek or Pepe are and don't form literal torch-wielding mobs cast their votes for him anyway and would do the…

"The president said very strongly his statement yesterday"

Idiotic sophistry from the concern trolling Nazi apologist, what a massive surprise.

It's a lot easier to believe that than to have to indulge in any kind of critical self-reflection.

That must be why people get so incredibly mad about having the obvious pointed out to them.

Snyder specifically courted reviewers from publications like the National Review because he knew they'd be sympathetic to the film's thematic aims.

I was speaking more generally, Genji, and you know it. There's nothing wrong with criticising specific points the author of the piece made (even if you've shown yourself to be woefully inconsistent on this matter, believing as you apparently do that fascism can't possibly be mapped onto pre-modern societies but 19th…

Is that sort of like how a lot of the traits of Spartan society denote "fascism," whether the word existed yet or not?

Why do people get so pissy about political discussion of movies, especially ones with pretty glaring political subtext? No-one is trying to stop anyone from enjoying the film aesthetically or as pure entertainment, but jeez, surely it's pretty hard to ignore 300's ideology.

What he did almost certainly violated more than one guideline about in house communication, regardless of the content of the memo.

I have genuinely never seen an online free speech dude advocate for any of those people or causes. Have you?

Perspective is a funny thing, because where you see a liberal falling for an act of provocation, I see a humourist laughing at a dickhead for getting himself sacked.
