Hail satan, comrade. 🤘
Hey, don’t insult Satan like that.
When you wish you’re the one on the left but you know you can’t pull that off.
I’ve seen all 10 films many times (no Abrams, your trash doesn’t count) and I really don’t remember an alien supercomputer saying any such thing. Or even being in any of those films. The closest thing would be V’Ger in TMP, which ‘scans’ (and thus kills) the Deltan navigator, Lt. Ilia and recreates her in the form of a computer probe with her memories to interact with the crew. While the crew do hit on the idea of using the probe’s memories of the dead Ilia’s romantic feelings for Captain Decker against her (it?) and that is really horrible in hindsight knowing what we now know about Decker’s actor…
As for the cold war thing, yeah the Klingons were explicitly meant to be a standin for the USSR, and of course, an American tv show of that era is gonna present a biased perspective, tbh I feel they did a better job than many others would have at presenting even the possibility of peace between the two. Worth mentioning one can extend the cold war metaphor to include others - the Romulans being the PRC (sneaky, authoritarian, collective-minded aliens with yellow skin even! Plus baseless accusations from one character in Balance of Terror that they ‘stole’ Federation technology to make their ships even though they clearly have advanced technology the Federation doesn’t have like the cloaking device and the plasma torpedo). If we accept the Romulans as being the Chinese to the Klingon USSR and Federation as NATO, one could posit the Vulcans as kinda like Taiwan/ROC/KMT? I’m not so sure on that one but the argument could be made.
I think one has to consider the material circumstances in which the shows were made. TOS was made in the 60s at the height of the cold war, TNG was made in the 80s/90s and reflects prejudices of that era (the showrunner once Gene died, Rick Berman, infamously vetoing ANY LGBT representation at all - going so far as to interfere with DS9’s plans for Garak/Bashir, a show he wasn’t running). I think it’s about as good as one can expect given the environment in which it was made. Especially compared to modern Trek having people living in poverty and drug addiction on Earth of all places, and even having an “Elon Musk high school” or something mentioned in one episode.
They forced us to read Animal Farm in school, but not 1984 oddly enough. George Orwell isn’t even an entertaining writer alongside being a propagandist for empire. And an attempted rapist. And a plaigiarist. And a racist. And a homophobe. And worst of all he was English.
Not reading 1984 would honestly make him smarter
lol, pretty sure the Banderites don’t have a ‘positive attitude’ about me and mine.
They don’t like it cause they believe only their god can make a new home for them or something, and the Zionists essentially ‘usurped God’s place’ by trying to do it themselves. Since I doubt the Abrahamic god is gonna come down from on high and declare a Jewish ethnostate any time soon, these people are gonna be waiting for a long ass time, but they are still infinitely preferable to the Zionists.
Post Hog.
In a just world every NAFoid would be sent to the front to be slaughtered en-masse charging through minefields.
Lot of Nazi fans popping in from other instances I guess.
Unironic banger.
The Netherlands, their (conservative) government has collapsed, apparently after having been in power for over a decade.
“Keep Thinking” - in this ukronazi’s case, “start thinking” might be useful advice, as he’s clearly not right now.
*Socialism with Chinese Characteristics. Dengism is more of a pejorative used by ultras to discredit/attack China, and there’s been developments since Deng Xiaoping Theory
think the logic is that trans femme people are more likely than most to need to shave all of those areas. Traditionally cis men having arm and leg hair is acceptable while most shave at least some part of their beard, and many cis women do not need to shave their face but are expected to have smooth arms and legs. Trans men, if on T, I presume would be in the same category as cis men as T will encourage that hair growth.
Not only that but the shape bears no resemblance to the 9 dash line which is a very consistent shape that hasn’t changed in decades. Someone told me that this isn’t the only map in the film and that there’s another that apparently maybe does show a more realistic map and includes the actual 9 dash line, if so… I’m honestly baffled as to why that would even be shown as opposed to all the many other maritime boundaries in the world (disputed or not). But in the end it seems like such a nothingburger to get worked up over a blood Barbie film.
I wonder if I can finally convince my relatives how serious this shit is, now that it’s affecting them… :(
