Also I don't like the way that a lot of fellow Americans I know feel essentially zero guilt over nuking Japan not once but twice. Hell they practically take pride in it and will say stupid crap like "It ended the war and saved lives!! !"

To me using the atom bomb was opening the pandora's box for our apocalypse. And it was a terrible thing to do to the Japanese even if they were our enemies at the time.


The first country in history to unleash the power of a thousand suns upon humanity.

Quote:
“If the radiance of a thousand suns
Were to burst at once into the sky
That would be like the splendour of the Mighty One...
I am become Death,
The shatterer of worlds.

This infamy will haunt America to the end of time, as does the Holocaust with the Germans.

Except unlike the Germans who were forced to face their guilt and take responsibility for their role in the Holocaust, there are still a lot of Americans who refuse to apologize for nuking Japan and are absolutely convinced that they did a good thing in doing so.

Or so we Americans like telling ourselves. Denying the historic realities of slavery and genocide committed her in this country isn't going to be enforcing that compas.

Antifa apparently, which idk it's not an organization it's literally just people who oppose fascism. I mean of course the best way as a president to convince people you aren't a fascist is by designating people who oppose fascism as a 'Major Terrorist Organization.' but whatever :|

In the 1950s if you say "let's redistribute wealth to the poor" you'll get called a communist
In 2025 if you say "I hate fascism" you get called antifa

If Kimmel gets cancelled, can we at least get F-bombs and full-frontal nudity on daytime/primetime network television?

People are planning to boycott Disney. I'm worried because Disney owns the Simpsons, and they were on the brink of cancellation once, I believe in 2011, due to financial issues. I don't want the Simpsons to be in such a precarious position again.

Along with South Park, it is one of my two favorite TV shows. I like them because conservatives hate them, and I'm worried that if people don't discover those shows, they'll discover Christianity (and purity culture).

Disney has become really greedy. I'm hoping they will be boycotted and maybe then they'll bring the rest of the Simpsons out of DVD box sets. I have all the box sets seasons 1-20 but I want to watch seasons 21+ but I don't have Disney Plus so I can't watch them, I just want them on DVD.

Frankly I couldn't care less if The View or Disney go under. The View represents everything I dislike about the Far Left like Whoopi Goldberg claiming that the Holocaust was "white on white violence" and Disney is an evil greedy corporation that was thanking the CCP for allowing them to film the live action version of Mulan in the same location where the Uyghurs were being put into prison camps.

All while they preach to us with their phony-as-hell liberal values about tolerance and acceptance.

I could maybe even forgive all that if it wasn't for the fact that their movies and TV shows are so insufferably mediocre now.

I don't like Whoopi Goldberg because she's known to proudly fart and burp on TV. So unladylike and rude.

That doesnt bother me anywhere near as much as the her idiotic commentary on political matters.

It never ceases to amaze me how funny and fragile right wing conservatives are. On the one hand they pride themselves on:
1. their toughness and resilience
2. importance of freedom of speech as the cornerstone of making America great

Yet how they tie themselves in knots over Kimmel or whoopie :lol:
How hard is it to not watch tv :roll:

People can choose to vote with their feet and the View or Jimmy Kimmel would have been taken off the air long long ago. Also people have short memories, Kimmel's early career he was host of the "Man show" and was popular with right wing misogynists. I'm sure trump would have loved him back then.

Not to worry, I've got plenty of old skool violent and trashy horror films to stream on Tubi TV that have nothing to do with today's politics.

Seems like after being crushed in WW2 the Italians, Germans, and Japanese found they had a natural talent for making good horror films that put Hollowood to shame. 8)

Surprisingly I like "Wednesday" on Netflix. It's kind of a teen spoof horror which I normally don't watch but Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers are actually really good
