I dislike both flavors.

The actor is fine. Black Captain America who is also the Falcon? That also has potential to be neat. Lot of interesting dynamics to explore there.

Then the show came out, they barely touched the race issue and instead made him Captain Liberalism, complete with an incredibly cringey speech at the end.

Falcon and the Winter Soldier is probably the worst case of "Villain has a point, better make them burn down an orphanage or something" since Black Panther overthrew the anti-imperialist lawful monarch of Wakanda with the help of the CIA.

Came out of fucking nowhere, massive media footprint but no actual on the ground following?

Yeah, dude's a plant.

Relics and veneration are one thing, but according to the description these are from slaves and serfs, not exactly honored people in that society.

If Guatemala did anything they'd suddenly become right wing authoritarians that steal elections and need to be stopped.

I hate Fedvans so much. All my friends like his podcast and are willing to brush off his consistent support of right-wing coups outside of America because at least he allows himself the correct opinion on past, long-resolved atrocities.

This city has way too many strip clubs and idk why. Is it a cultural thing, or does the city make it particularly easy to open one?

Pretty gross.

Unfortunately pretty unsurprising after last night. Things were already tense, but then a black bloc used a communist rally as cover to cause a bunch of property damage, so things spread outside the school and into downtown. Anxiously following this today.

Getting a big tax return so I'm gonna buy a cool sword. Got my bf a sword a couple years ago and been jealous ever since.

My Steam name had hanzi in it during my first startup, and the servers still have a bug that won't update names. So I can't play cross-platform with my PS5 friends, and also every now and then I get kicked from lobbies or even get a little misdirected racism over vc.

But one time I played with a group of Russian guys who kept talking amongst themselves until one said "你好(Babs)" and we had a short conversation in what was obviously neither of our primary language. That was a fun night.

Hey if this weird righty infighting gives an in for anti-genocide voices to have a say, I'm cool with this. In the short clips I saw she was just letting Norm talk and I don't see the downside to that.
