I figured because my mom doesn’t even know what Communism is there may have been other factors, but I guess there isn’t.

I tend to overthink a lot, I take responsibility for that. I guess I thought there was more to it.

About the internment camps, they’re never really talked about here, neither are the atrocities committed against Chinese railroad workers. It’s kind of just forgotten about like many other crimes.

I’m aware of that aspect, I’m just baffled by the sympathy given to the Romanovs compared to the French monarchy. Maybe I’m not articulating myself well so for that I apologize.

I don’t know much about Oppenheimer the guy but people seem to be split online about the movie; some say it’s sympathetic to Oppenheimer while others say it’s critical. All I know is that Einstein is in it and there’s nude scenes.

I haven’t seen it yet but my friends and I are planning on a Barbenheimer double feature, I’m looking forward to it since I’ve heard a lot of good things.

I may have used the wrong wording. I think some villains have good motives but bad execution. I also used this post as a jumping off point of the whole trope rather than commentary on Poison Ivy specifically.

I know next to nothing about this version of Batman, Ivy and Freeze so I can’t speak to them, hell I can’t speak about a lot of Batman villains, this post just reminded me of this weird trend.

The villain that came to mind for me was the air bender guy from Legend of Korra, from what little I can recall from that show. Something about anarchy, I think. The antagonists from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier have been said to fit this trope as well but I can’t say for sure as I’ve never watched that show.

They make villains who’s goals make total sense and are something to root for, so to balance that they make the villains kill innocents just to make sure the audience doesn’t accidentally side with them.

I didn’t realize sanctions also applied to YouTube videos

Canada and America are stupidly similar, Canadians just like to act like they’re different but we’re just different fonts. Both have similar colonial origins so it makes sense why our conservatives would resemble each other.

I remember learning only about supply and demand economics in middle school, inflation was only taught in regards to Germany in the 1920s in which inflation was described as “too much money circulating.” But I was always told it was because the people had too much money and not the wealthy. Obviously I know the contrary is true now but learning what all this economy stuff is currently is low key difficult, I’m sure I‘ll get it sooner or later. I just want to be able to explain these issues to others without getting brain scramble. As far as I’m aware, both inflation and recession are bad, at least for us.

Okay, this is such an accurate observation. Because when I’m around my step-father, especially driving around with heavy traffic, he always complains about how “nobody wants to work” even though there are “plenty of NOW HIRING signs” he passes on the daily. He says this after I’ve explained to him many times how the hiring process in this day and age works and how employers aren’t nearly as desperate as they appear, this same man hates unions too. I think he just talks politics to me because he finds my reactions entertaining. I don’t know how to explain to people how a recession would be shit, economics have always been hard to understand for me. I live in Canada so maybe our situation is different but I know Galen Weston Jr. (Loblaws guy) has been making record profits on our suffering.

I’ve said something similar in front of my mom and she yelled at me, convinced the government will assassinate/arrest me.
