In ATLA, there's an infamous episode called The Great Divide.
Aang tells a lie to get two tribes to stop fighting a pointless feud that's been going on a hundred years or so. And the fandom seems to get all huffy about that.
I think he did the right thing. If there's nothing to prove he's lying about how the feud began, then there's nothing to prove about why it should continue either.
How Republicans feel after murdering a woman by deciding the fetus is more important.
You'd probably like Blake's 7 then, in regards to cameras.
Yeah, this is the theory that I've held since seeing a documentary investigating the whole incident. And for the life of me I cannot recall the name.
I find it far easier to believe the CIA would scramble to cover up a colossal fuck-up over any shadowy conspiracy of assassination. Incompetence is more reliable than competence, in a way.
I don't care who gets bitchy over this;
America chose bald faced fascism and genocide, over the chance to end genocide and not-fascism.
Suck eggs, whenever you can save up for them. The stay-at-homes are just as guilty.
Used to be Star Wars. Then my interest fizzled altogether anyway.
I feel like most sci-fi fandoms are like that. There are good bunches, then loud minorities that are either bigoted, excessive about details they don't like, or both
They say "Every child has a right to education."
And then behave as if it's "Every child has a responsibility to be educated."
So yeah, while I absolutely think education in itself is vital, I do get peeved when they immediately lie by changing what they do versus what they say.
By they, I mean outdated education boards of self-absorbed twits who grew up decades earlier and have no real grasp of what today's generation needs.
Idiocracy runs on the assumption smart people would plan and prepare to save the stupid people down the line. Not rule them in cyberfeudalism. I wouldn't call it prophetic personally.
Get Out is a spotlight on existing problems. That have existed for a long time, and will likely continue to exist.
Ah, Gene Roddenberry must've written the movie then.
News media is contributing to the big smokescreen that the Nazi regime in America wants.
To then turn around and say 'while you were distracted' as if the public are to blame for not noticing is just plain hypocritical shittiness from said media.
He bought the Presidency. Not eve a bribe at this point.
The CEO was a fucking hack. Good riddance.
He straight up said 'movie pirates are worse than drunk drivers' at one point.
I don't know about any of you, but I'm pretty sure media pirates haven't killed people with their negligence.
