Idk about the terms, but the concepts and definitions are, yeah.

No-one is “replacing biological sex” silly.

Gender is different from sex. It’s related, but separate.

True enough.

Sure, I’m not denying there has been heroic shit.

But so probably so has the other side. Like I’m sure at one point there’s been Russian and Chinese “heroes” throughout the decades. Japanese especially didn’t mind dying in combat, but usually in the Western movies, that’s depicted as them jumping up completely in sight, yelling something for three seconds, then blowing themselves up. I’m not saying that didn’t happen either, but I’m sure with the whole “take as many as you can and don’t care about your own life” mentality there probably were some heroic shenanigans the Japanese also pulled off.

It just wouldn’t really seem like that from our perspective, because we don’t believe in the reasons why he did it as well as we can project ourselves onto the protagonists of war movies that are from our countries.

From war movies, you’d sort of might get the impression that Americans pretty much single-handedly won world war two. Now by no means do I mean to put down the massive effort they put in and the effect it had, but Russians did quite a lot indeed, like the British, and the Americans didn’t join for a few years.

It’s all just about perceptions.

It’s funny how some Americans straight up deny the existence of any propaganda while there’s so many fucking movies of American Snipers and Colonel Badasses and whatnot.

Like if those movies were equally realistic as they are now (movies require some flair I’m not above sometimes enjoying a nice American war movie, propaganda or not), but depicted like, Russian or Chinese soldiers instead of American ones, they’d seem ridiculous. But as they depict American heroes, people don’t see them that way as much.

Idk about other countries but there’s like several generic supermarket alternatives to sodastream in all bigger shops here, and idk who the fuck would buy the overpriced sodastream brand co2 when most markets sell a generic brand bottle for half the price.

So at least here it doesn’t have a majority of the market. Perhaps the largest share, but I don’t think the majority.

True. There’s a strong whiff of discontentment for the status quo about me, and some people just hate it.

Well if that’s true I guess I’m shattered as even broken people avoid me

I suffer from ennui.

I’ve found a fix though. Take a deep breath. Of N2O

Valkyrie liked Hulk more as Hulk and less as Banner-Hulk.

And she knew we knew she knew.

Just too proud of a bitch to admit to having been on the wrong side of anything.

Like >60% of humanity suffer from that, at least. 100% of people some time, some people 100% of the time.

Resentment in others.

It’s sounds like “bad”, but with a shorter “a”, so like “had”

Although I guess “bade” is used nowadays as well don’t know how erroneous it’s considered to be.

You can here people use it here

Seemingly Americans in those clips say “bade” (rhyming with “made”) but Brits say “bade” (rhymes with “had”)

Only the votes.

Lol whops, bad phrasing on my bad, I can dee that.

I meant “we are sure of who’s doing it”, obviously, but yes, it could be read like that.

I’m not American, bruh.

I’m just reporting what your president elect has said.

Oh fuck I wrote a lengthy comment on mobile and it got lost without getting saved to drafts.

Tldr I guess is that growing up I used to wonder how Hitler ever became accepted. Then in 2016 Trump won, when I thought it impossible, a meme candidate. My belief in Americans was crushed. Now again. And shameless genocide going on in Palestine. And Russia coldly invaded Ukraine.

Growing up in the oughts as a teen, Obama as president, things didn’t seem this worrying. The drone strikes morally dubious, but not worldwide threat concerning.

Now I don’t wonder anymore how Hitler got to be so accepted. Slowly. Step by step. With each of Trump*s elections and these conflicts, my belief in a lot of humanity decreases, and my passion about changing things in creases, yet resources to do anything about it dwindle.

Ugh the first one was so much better grumble grumble
