That’s why I think future historians will view the Ukraine debacle as a lethal miscalculation for the Atlantic powers and the beginning of the end. They ran the same playbook that they’ve done a million times but historical conditions had changed so much that it wasn’t just ineffective, it actively accelerated the rise of multipolarity. Ditto with Isn’treal’s genocide.

god Syndicate is mid. what a waste of a setting

Thanks for the advice, I’ll definitely keep all this in mind. The affordable housing waitlist that I just got on is 7 years long. X(

they’re basically living in fascism right now as we speak and still just wanna talk about their stupid fuckin elections. WHO COULD CARE ANYMORE

oh you mean the Sahel Alliance doesn’t wanna be policed by a body that has totally failed to stop a blatant genocide and whom European officials outright stated was designed to punish “Africans and thugs like Putin”?

Fantastic fuckin film. One of Boyle’s best IMO. This is a film made by British people about how fucked Britain has become and many American viewers hate that because it’s not something that’s catered to them. I’m a massive 28 fan and even though I very rarely go to the theaters I went for this one (still the only movie I’ve seen in a theater this year) and it was was one of the best movie experiences I’ve ever had. It’s stylish, it’s emotional, it’s amazingly well shot, it’s actually scary IMO, I just can’t get enough of it and I was thinking about it constantly after walking out of the theater. Also just to make a small correction, Spike is from Holy Island which is in Northern England, which makes all of the weird warrior culture stuff even more prescient; that island has a storied history with vikings and what not which is kinda sorta what the inhabitants in 28 Years Later are, in a way. I’ve read that Jim is returning in Bone Temple and his Irish heritage will become more important then which makes sense since Ireland is also quarantined canonically (we don’t know yet if that was a preemptive measure or if NATO/the rest of the world threw them in with the quarantine just to be safe, hopefully we get some answers in later films).

But yeah, I think it’s amazing but many viewers wanted an straightforward action horror film like 28 Weeks Later where they get to see a bunch of people slowly get infected and other people shoot them but I loved it for having subverted that.

America develops new, innovative way to make students dumber and more fascist

Because we’re all evil and hate freedom. Is that what you want to hear?

Goddamn. This just hardens my resolve to finally give up on IT and devote my life to studying and working in conservation. People are like “there’s no money in public lands” and I’m like yeah well there’s no decent money and security to be found literally anywhere in this dump country including the trades, at least I can live off grant money studying something I love.
