I don't think the reason for the setting of the movie was to be taken very serious. It could have been much more realistic in its scenario, but then people would have criticised it for being too "on the nose" or similar, like they did with Don't look up.

That is the typical internet response whenever that movie is brought up in this context. But that response fails to take into consideration that they only did that after not having done that for hundreds of years until the point where the movie begins.

Not a good example, since that shows the happy ending where powerful countries are finally finishing off the fascist regime after years of war and millions of lives lost. That is the amount of effort and determination it took to rid Germany of its fascists.

No such prospects for the American fascist regime. On the contrary the most powerful countries in the world will happily support it, because it undermines Western dominance.

This is just his oligarch backers dictating his policies though. They will still be around to dictate policy after his demise.

They have the advantage of stupidity. Truth is complex and mostly requires longer sentences to convey all nunces, while lies are simple and can be conveyed by just a couple of words.

"Real cold" and "real hot". How completely accurate and informative terms which everyone can agree upon what is.

Don't be ridiculous. Musk is part of the oligarchs controlling Trump.

It's a Clint Eastwood movie, not a documentary.

When exactly did it used to be? We have archaeological evidence that stone age people kept long distance trade connections. Could you enlighten us as to when this fabled period of history occurred?

Almost as if some rich foreign power has spent decades and billions of rubles to fertilise the ground for them.

Don't underestimate the lots and lots of Russia money involved.

Not to forget the fact that a lot of trips were planned and bought and paid for before Trump had even won.

 

I wanted to subscribe to https://sh.itjust.works/c/bookcollecting@lemmy.world, but it just says "Subscription pending", and while I can post there and it shows all of the posts in the community, it doesn't show any comments to those posts.

If I visit the community directly through lemmy.world (without being logged in to an account of course), it shows that there are multiple comments to all of the posts, but if I visit through my account on this instance it shows 0 comments to all of the posts.

I don't know if it is connected to the "subscription pending" issue, but I have tried refreshing to make the subscription pending change into subscribed, but it doesn't happen.

Edit: I just tried posting in the community in the vain hope of establishing a connection to it from here, but when I press the post button it just continously loads while the error message "SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data" keeps popping up in the corner.
