Something this generation of kids will sadly never experience?

...so of you want to keep burning fossil fuels, its great for delay/distraction.
Far from it. I believe that fossil fuels should go the way of the dodo. It's unfortunate that nuclear is depicted as some sort of "Grim Reaper" energy because of Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima. I find it strange that same fear and paranoia surrounding nuclear isn't also applied to fossil fuels and petrochemicals. Correct if I'm wrong but it seems that Exxon Valdez and Deepwater Horizon did far more damage than Chernobyl ever could.
Massive congratulations to Europol and its partners in taking this shit down and putting these perverts away. However, they shouldn't rest on their laurels. The objective now is to ensure that the distribution of this disgusting material is stopped outright and that no further children are harmed.
I feel that the whole "Woke/DEI" era will be remembered as a poorly timed inflection point. On one hand, you had the media conglomerates, who, instead of investing in original content decided to put stock in continuations of established franchises which often had poor writing and were poorly executed. These works also just happened to have a "diversity" angel to them. At the same time, we saw the increase in right wing voices online that started to infiltrate the fandoms of those already established franchises.
Social media algorithms also began to push this kind of content to a wider audience. How many times have you seen a random Youtube video with titles like " X is WOKE PROPAGANDA TRASH! Hollywoke is in DECLINE! " appear in your feed or homepage? If the work in question was a critical flop (i.e. terrible), it was not a flop because of creative deficiencies. No, it was a flop because it had a non-binary black character!
You never heard legitimate criticisms like "Hollywood is putting profits before good entertainment" or "[Show or movie] had poor writing, bad acting, terrible direction and didn't contribute anything to already established canon."
Take Deep Space 9 as an example. A great show with a very diverse cast but that diversity would be useless if the characters weren't as fleshed out as they were. Now imagine what the discourse around DS9 would look like if it were made today:
"A New BLACK Protagonist? Star Trek Has Gone WOKE!"
"Jadzia Dax and Odo: Trans Ideology PROPAGANDA?!"
When a new piece of media comes out and there is a massive stir attached to it, ask yourself this: is the criticism warranted or is it ideology driven?
Long live the numpad!
You fuckers had one job. ONE JOB!
I though that the LGBTQ+ community was supported by the entire left wing spectrum including the far left. Was I mistaken? Also, the notion that trans people are "bourgeoisie" seems to be contradictory considering that, historically, the LGBTQ+ community have lived on the margins of society including western societies.
Good to see Porco Rosso getting some love!
Those arms tho!
Some those did get their start in the 80s but all of them hit their peak in the 90s.
Well, Orange Fürher, since you don't care about increasing car (and gas) prices, you could:
-
Divest from highways and freeways and put that money towards building high speed rail infrastructure for interstate/cross-country travel.
-
Subsidize said rail infrastructure to make fares very affordable.
-
Invest in underground metro and above ground streetcar infrastructure for inner-city travel. Don't forget about the buses.
-
Subsidize production of two-wheeled transport (bicycle, ebike, motorcycle, scooter, etc.) and create and/or improve infrastructure to accommodate for them.
Something was always "off" with this guy. You could feel it during his "sexy socialist Jesus" era and it was practically confirmed with his "conspiratorial Ghandi" revamp.
Here's a Channel 4 documentary that goes into further detail about this man's deranged proclivities.
