I think you missed an important angle of “Civil War”, Chris. The unsung heroes of the movie are...journalists! The bravest of the brave, standing up to tell the truth against all odds.
The trailer was ridiculous, but the subtext was even funnier.
I noticed the imbedded press. Fucking journos I this country would steal credentials to prove they were steelworkers before admitting to anyone that they are the cause of the war. And btw, the first things going down are server farms for the press, so there’s that.
They’ll have to brave a desolate wasteland, searching for an “apocalypse expert”. When they find him they can finally quote him verbatim without any follow-up questions. The world is saved. End.
I can’t see or hear Stelter’s name without thinking of Ryan Long’s video (very NSFW due to language but drop-dead funny and infinitely rewatchable, never gets old):
Clever lyrics, but hard to imagine BS Stelter as a stud rather than a pedo (as Alex Jones always clarifies, I'm not saying there's evidence he's a pedo, only that he looks like one). I like this vid from Matt Orfalea, though Stelter is only one of the many media clowns mocked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s5DYknp9cc [The Covid Lie That Started It All]
The sad thing is the studio would probably have gotten a better Civil War II story if they had farmed it out to AI, which would have cobbled something together from prepper message boards and Red Dawn fan fiction.
There's almost nothing on TV that is as predictable as the plot of a Hallmark Christmas movie, yet this is what happened when a bot watched a thousand hours of Hallmark and then wrote its own script:
In my heart, I personally seceded on 1-21-21; when your government makes it clear they hate you and want you as a slave, pay heed to their words and actions. 💔
If you bailout those who should fail you end up where we are. It was always inevitable that we would be here because the rich would not let themselves fail. It also goes to show that most jobs are bullshit. Kinda like that book a gentleman wrote with the title of bullshit jobs. IE most jobs are political and most people aren't as smart or great as they think they are. It also shows what a sham voting is. Do you guys remember voting on the patriot act, bailouts (twice 08 and 2020), lock downs, the war in Iraq or Afghanistan ?
It’s easy to say that “most jobs are bullshit” if you blithely ignore the real-world inefficiencies that cause those jobs to exist. There are very few jobs that are bullshit to the person paying for them.
Hey John, If you can't fail, and you get bailed out by the government every time you run into trouble, does paying someone really matter? Do customers matter? Why do you think more people didnt get laid off in 2020? Cause we printed more money in one year then we did from 2009 thru 2019. 2020 was an economic event, not a pandemic. Why do you think inflation has been so high the past few years? They knew they just couldnt pump the stock market like they did after 08 again. Remember all the talk of austerity after 08 in the media? They had to throw us some crumbs.
Indeed, and think if you're a small biz competing with those who get favored? The government has been picking the winners and the losers for quite some time. Why have the costs of higher education and healthcare gone out of control? Because they have no impulse to find better "efficiencies". The government will pay whatever they want, so you get jobs that essentially have no purpose other then warehousing people.
They only exist due to bailouts, and after time (heck its been 15 years or so since it started) it really starts to show. Have you ever worked back office in one of our current bubble industries? Healthcare, higher education, tech, government?
Nope; worked in industry my entire career, the last 14 in the oil & gas service industry. I say tongue-in-cheek that our buildings were accordions so that when the inevitable cyclical layoffs happened, we could reduce the building to save on power. No bail-outs to O&G. My forté was international corporate income tax, and I spent many years at the intersection of mismatched definitions of things between countries and squeezing juice through the resulting cracks. Inefficient? Macroeconomically, yes, but not to scores of thousands of cross-border employers.
Is that not a horror-show? Like the poor kiddies went to bed and instead of dreaming of dancing sugarplums they have nightmares of cavorting demons! My good Lord in Heaven, these minions of Satan are making their leader proud😖
Just when I think the propaganda can't get any more 'smack me in the head with a sledgehammer' ...they produce not one, but two (!), epic films in one week, reminding me to fall in line with all the 'current thing' talking points.
I feel like they used to at least make this stuff kinda subtle.
We're past that now, apparently. Watching that trailer has the same effect as belting me in the face with a frying pan (one that says "DO NOT VOTE FOR ORANGE MAN!!!" on it). Lolz.
They think you and everyone outside of their circles is stupid and backwards, so they arrogantly write down to their audience and this is the garbage you get with that attitude.
“…where president bombs American citizens in near future.”
It's a change from Bush&Bush, Clinton and Obama bombing the citizens of other nations, I'll give it that.
Why not a have Florida secede and join Cuba, the other island nations and Venezuela in a Caribbean Union? Or have Me-hi-co move advisors and peace-keeping democracy-spreading military units into southern California, Arizona and Texas?
Heck, why not have Alaska join Japan? Maybe they could include time-travelling esquimo-vikings invading New England too, led by trans-species lesbian palestinian pharaoh?
Since I don't think "arab" when I think "american", no.
Still, four out of how many - is a horrible question to have to ask.
Morbid humour, it's what's get me through the day sometimes.
What's horrible for real is when it happened, our media told us in no uncertain terms why the killing of these men was a GoodThing(tm); normally, when it is Republican president they can't eait to tell us that whatever he does, it's a BadThing(tm).
The same urinalists that skewered the Bushes daily annointed St. Barry whatever he did. or didn't do.
And they /still/ have TDS like it was no tomorrow.
The michelle obama bush hug should do more to show we are ruled by a uniparty more then anything, but people really can't imagine leaving a tribe that abuses them.
"and you still believe, this aristocracy gives a fuck about you? They put the mock in demockracy and you've swallowed every hook. The sad truth is, you'd rather follow the school into the net, cause swimming alone at sea is not the kinda freedom that you actually want."
Yeah, but since I'm not american the main thing for me is a US president that understands two things:
>The US shouldn't try to play at being an Empire, because frankly it sucks at it and it's not good for you the people - not economically, not culturally, not anything-ally.
> The rest of the world isn't the US and doesn't want to be; we want you to be you and leave us to be us.

The Democrats always tell you what they are doing and what they want to happen. I’m concerned that this next couple of years are going to be rocky.
The wife, mother-in-law, and I watched Leave the World Behind last night. If not for the motivation being a study of their predictive programming it would have been turned off after 10/15 minutes. It was simply a terrible movie in every way imaginable and I won’t even bore you with the details. Anyone that ever hires the Obamas to make another movie is crazy.
Luckily my boys have been brought up on the monstrous originals 😂 Netflix will die a slow death in the end, like Disney is doing now. Wonka has been written by Paul King, the genius behind the two Paddington films.
My daughter and I did Rt. 66 (drove from Montreal to Chicago and away we went) in August. Nothing but great people all the way through. Even managed to see a Cards game.
I remember the good ole days as a 17 year-old Marine in Marine Combat Training after boot camp out there in the hills of Camp Pendleton. I decided I'd be cool like the guys in the movies and adorn my gear with sticks and weeds for camouflage. My Sergeant "You dumbass. Go out there in the grass and lay down. Now, move forward real slow. Look Marines! A moving bush! Don't do that shit."
The lefty commies would love nothing more than some fat white hillbilly to kill a couple of them with an AR-15 so they could have excuse to further restrict liberty, and officially and openly begin a march against their political opponents (which is everyone who’s not a far left globalist communist).
If it comes to that,due of course to government forces of any letters overstepping their authority, then the freedoms have already been taken. That fat white hillbilly is your last line of defense. You obviously won’t pick up a gun to defend yourself, or your freedom. So there’s that.
Under normal circumstances I really like watching people tap dance well. It's so impressive, especially for those of us who have a tenuous grasp on balance, but this White House reimagining of The Nutcracker is just abominable and also kinda frightening. Whose idea was it? Why is he/she/ze still employed on the taxpayer dime?

Yes, yes, yes.
"The unsung heroes of the movie are...journalists!"
Okay, so when they strap me into the chair and tape my eyelids open in the reeducation camp, this is the movie that they'll make me watch.
Or, “Shock and Awe” so President Reiner can claim it finally found an audience.

Sorry 😂
Texas and California will face the Massachusetts-Alabama-Dakota Alliance, formed on their shared commitment to MAGA, abortion rights, and Free Silver.
Right? Seattle and rural South Dakota, locked arm-in-arm.

Shut your sound!
Every line of that script is gold.
Personally, I’m looking forward to the “oil resort.”
“A Christmas tree explodes on a family on purpose..”
Thank you for the laugh, that was truly funny stuff.
I’m sorry, it says ‘explodes a family on purpose.’
That’s even more preposterously funny.
Glad I could make your Christmas more enjoyable.
This would save Disney!!
It's no more pathetic than anything else Disney serves up and it's actually funny.
It would make the best skit SNL ever did.
Wolverines!!
How do you know they didn't farm it out to AI?
It would have been better than what they ended up with.
😂😂😂 Coming from rural flyover state South Dakota I really “see” that.
How does Eastasia fit into this?
And what about Oceania and Eurasia?

Agree 100%, but I don’t see the connection to the “most jobs are bullshit” line.
Maybe Mr House means stuff like the crap we have to deal with over here?
From 1905 to 1981, the number of administrators (all kinds and levels) in the kingdom increased 25-fold.
The number of actual workers in the public sector increased too. Six-fold.

Why do you think Elon Musk was able to lay off half of twitter and it didnt have any effect on efficiencies?
"most people aren't as smart or great as they think they are."

Hmmm, I think I'll watch some old movies at home, thanks. I watched the holiday Nutcracker video, wish I hadn't.
Is that not a horror-show? Like the poor kiddies went to bed and instead of dreaming of dancing sugarplums they have nightmares of cavorting demons! My good Lord in Heaven, these minions of Satan are making their leader proud😖
