Both were well made films but I enjoyed Barbie more, I cried a few times and it made me really want to call my mom afterwards. Both complex in their own ways, too.

Thank you for the correction!
Wait, is there not a physical separation between the two? I thought there was a waterway of some sort…
Damn. The only thing I knew about Siberia was that Huskies came from there. This is enlightening information.
Lets hear from Africans how they feel about being “protected” by the “free world.”
I think my mom is a special case because she didn’t know what communism was at all. As in, she didn’t know what the word was, the history, famous figures, etc. she only learned about it after I educated her on some things. It was surface level but enough to get her raving about Cuba so that’s cool.
I have yet to teach her about Tsar Nicholas II but if she ever brings him up I’ll try my best to do so.
They claim everything under the goddamn sun, I swear.
Didn’t DeFascist also make it a thing that teachers can/should show PragerU videos in class?
It’s weird here in Canada because people don’t care about the monarchy until you bring up leaving it, then everyone starts screeching about the constitution.
Has anyone noticed the weird surge in pro-slavery sentiment? I’ve seen people, including black propel, defending slavery recently and it’s mind blowing! They claim that enslaved people learned work ethic and important life skills, that some slave owners treated the enslaved like family. These same arguments are being made about the concentration camps during the holocaust too!
The Economist? Opinion discarded!
I really don’t understand why people online (twitter and TikTok, but mostly twitter) were freaking out about this movie. I’m not talking about the valid historical critiques, but more so the people arguing whether Oppenheimer himself was portrayed as a sympathetic character vs a coward. I have to wonder if we watched the same movie because to me it was pretty damn clear what they were trying to portray, not just with the characters’ actions but with the framing and music choices. I did say both movies were complex and I stand by that, but Oppenheimer wasn’t complicated in the way some are making it out to be.
