They still make them, it’s just that they aren’t super mainstream anymore and most people who grew up with them grew out of that type of humour, and the nostalgia is what’s hitting them for those movies.
Seth Rogen still makes them, the guys from workaholics made one not too long ago, there’s some other good fringe ones I’ve seen.
…what? People shame others for drinking and smoking all the time. Bad example.
All this fear of Russian propaganda but nobody in the US government talks about the localized corporate propaganda that’s a far bigger threat to the US and the world at large.
Bernie and AOC used to, but Bernie seems to have given up, and AOC is looking out for her career now. Tulsi Gabbard used to too but I don’t even know what her deal is anymore.
They may be a stupid idea but they sure look cool
What irritates me is that I know whatever Ben Shapiro said on his show every week because the exact same words come out of people I know’s mouths that week. It’s such low effort, easily identified propaganda. I don’t understand why it works so well. Like I don’t get it at all.
The radicalization towards the right is what disturbs me the most. I am a blue collar working class person from a small town in a very conservative province, and I don’t understand at all how everything that’s happened has not radicalized people overwhelmingly towards left wing economics.
I blame most of it on culture war bullshit honestly, but a large part of me is just disappointed in how overwhelmingly stupid and easily manipulated a lot of my friends and family seem to be. The writing is on the wall as far as I can tell. I read a lot of books on economics and history and politics, and I don’t expect everyone to do that, but even before I got into reading about that shit I could tell that something was very wrong with how right wing pundits pushed their shit. It irritates me to no end having to explain these things in person to people I otherwise respect, see them talk about it and internalize it, and then two days later see them devolve right back into the same right wing propagandized mentality. Idk man, it’s disheartening.
Yeah I mean, I know why.
But it should be obvious to people when they see stuff like this and the heritage fund and other similar groups that it’s obvious propaganda efforts from the elites, and you think that alone would push people left.
But often times it doesn’t. And I don’t know how to fix that.
When I first learned about the IDU I was pretty horrified. Why are there all these big money right wing groups dedicated to pushing the world to be more right wing and zero left wing counterparts for it?
Wait, actually? What the hell is the reasoning behind that? How did Americans vote him back in after that?
Yeah but it wasn’t as gamey, as, say, a game
which is what I thought I bought when I got it
Yeah I got through like 20 minutes of that game before I realized it was a light novel and this wasn’t some kind of annoyingly long and convoluted tutorial.
The rich have far too much power in the world.
You underestimate how much the US values their genocide army base
lol exactly. These aren’t hard things to learn without AI.
Yeah hiking is okay. But I like to exercise. People who like to exercise are in a huge minority.
I haven’t seen a lot of transphobia here.
The genocide rationalization is an issue I’ve noticed.
This looks fucking delicious though
No, it doesn’t. But there’s something ridiculous about a Hollywood exec looking at hot women in a show and then saying there’s no sex appeal.
lol seriously. He has shown in a very stark way that the rich are above the law in the US. You can literally try to overthrow the government and then threaten and slander judges and their families and still not go to prison if you’re rich.
