Update.

This was a mistake.

Well now I have to check this out.

Porque no los dos?

Nah, fuck Israel and I support Gaza/Palestinian autonomy.

But try again to make it about how Jill Stein didn’t help completely fuck this country sideways.

So does English.

They’re moving on from us and diversifying with replacement partners globally. They don’t need us anymore. The same isn’t true the other way around.

Fuck Jill Stein

Updoting for Chronotrigger. Always at the top of my list. Every list.

Except worst lists.

Likely the Irish for some reason. It wasn’t too long ago that they were considered a “minority” class in this country. In some circles (I’m looking at you, NE America), they were viewed as worse than the Black or Hispanic populations.

That bar is so very, very low right now.

DISAPPOINTED

Lower KDA though.

Every site uses HTTPS which encrypts your data in transit. Even if they sniff the packets, they would spend literal decades trying to decrypt it.

Just be wary of visiting sites or sending traffic not over HTTPS. Its rare, but it does happen.

FUCK

That’s a fair correction. I guess authoritarianism is too far of a comparison for the book. I had read it a long time ago and remembered it pretty much straight up glorifying the military and military conquest above all, and as you say, the only path to citizenship is through military service.

It is a militarily dominant society, but that doesn’t necessarily require authoritarianism as the movie portrayed.

The one thing missing from the movie I wish they had put in was that in the books, IIRC, they had mech-like suits that had to be learned how to be piloted/used, and I remember that being a decent bit of a few chapters just learning how to use their mechanical battle suits.

They did not go into battle with some basic kevlar vs giant bugs.

The book the movie was based off of was a more serious piece of work about military authoritarianism and what that ultimately leads to.
