In all reality tho the team with Scarlet Witch woulda won, hands down. Unless that purple guy with the yellow Infinity stone in his forehead showed up. Then the other team would stand a chance.

Oh absolutely there were complex ethical dilemmas presented in the story that made it really rich. There were no 'bad' guys, not even that Russian dude who orchestrated the confrontation with the winter soldier.

The argument in favor of the avengers autonomy, if one were inclined to make it, would be that the collateral damage would have amounted to much more if the avengers didn't intervene in any number of the battles involving them. With the exception of that most recent accident in civil war when Wanda sends that grenade up into the building above to save homeboy.

So the countries of the world ought to be thankful the avengers did as much as they did rather than criticizing then for accidents and contingencies that arise during battles.

Also, what would a committee appointed to instruct the avengers to engage or not, know about any given situation that the avengers didn't know about? Like would they have made a decision any differently? Fuck outta here.

It's of what use would such a body make of the team?, that's the question.

Surprisingly good in a quirky way. The premise is great even tho the movie wasn't outstanding. i mean if you spent a little more time and money on producing a movie with such a premise, you could go places with it. i even had this very same idea a decade ago... and I'm sure science fiction writers have exhausted it as a story line by now.

The premise is that an infinite number of universes exist, and in each universe that ends up suitable for life, you exist. Fast forward cuz I'm not writing a whole synopsis.

Laundry mat lady's daughter ends up being the villian who, after discovering that there is an infinite number of hers in a multiverse that has no purpose or meaning, wants to die to stop the pointlessness of her existence.

Yeah it's a pretty cool premise, and as far as whacky sci-fi comedy-action movies are concerned, it's decent. Has a Big Trouble in Little China meets the Fifth Element feel to it.

the rap music contributes to artificially inflating the male's desire to be, or at least be perceived, as masculine. now if you have a kid who has low self-esteem and an image of himself as lacking masculinity (say he's short, or frail, or not that handsome, etc.), listening to that shit, conditions become ripe for rebellious and/or illegal behavior.

now what bobby crimo is thinkin is that he'll spend the rest of his life in prison as a celebrity noticed by all and liked by many. his victims weren't racially profiled (most were white I think) and his crimes weren't sexual, so he's clear of any real danger. he might get extorted if he doesn't join a gang and because of his size, but he won't be jumped or shanked because of his crimes.

in reality tho - and he'll realize this in a couple years - the glamorous prison life he thought would offer him the chance to be that man (promised by the rap music), masculine, important, with strong political conviction (he'll weave a half thought out conservative spin to grant his crimes political gravitas), actually turned out to be rather mundane and superfluous. he's just that mass murderer guy with the tattoos on his face in the canteen line, and his notoriety, now that he's no longer in the news two years later, is no more. Looking for him on the yard now would be like asking 'where's waldo?'

The new Thor was the worst marvel movie I've ever seen, and I'm especially offended because this movie was the debut of Gorr the god butcher... prolly the only militant atheist in the whole marvel universe.

Storyline was simpler than it should have been, and I am quite rightfully disappointed because of that.

Russel Crow played an overweight Zeus with a mexican accent who's only interests are orgies and being admired. This was done on purpose tho to drive home Gorr's point; that the god's care only about themselves. They therefore had to portrary Zeus in a more unfavorable light as an obnoxious douchebag fat body... and i understand that the movie is partially comical. But none of it was funny. All you can think about is Crow's completely out of place mexican/Italian intonation.

Pratt was in the movie a whole five minutes and Damon makes two brief appearances.

"Stirner's principle critique of socialism and communism was that they ignored the individual; they aimed to hand ownership over to the abstraction society, which meant that no existing person actually owned anything."

The most common form of exaggerating the consequences of the public ownership of the means of production. There is nothing anywhere in marxist literature that i know of that says anything about there being no private property whatsoever so that I gotta buy or accept a state provided tooth brush and be fully responsible for it until i am issued another one.

For once y'all need to consider the premises of marx from the workers' perspective. Why it makes so much sense to believe such a transformation of society might benefit the worker.

a pragmatic question; what for the worker is the experienced difference, the 'qualia', of the private employee wage/salary, and the public, government issued wage/salary?

Again from the perspective of the worker who we are saying will never have the means to progress further than a minimum wage job. Why wouldn't he recognize the advantages and benefits that would come with such a transformation of society, namely its means and modes of production, distribution and consumption. Why wouldn't Joe not wanna go for it?

Marxism is a class orientation, bros. You can't be a wealthy bourgeois and just mosey right on in there like you belong there. This is a thesis of the visceral and lived experiences of the proletariat class... not something that is grasped theoretically and on purely intellectual terms from your red naugahyde couch by the fireplace in your black mahogany smoking room, gentlemen.

The logic of the idea is valid only for that particular and distinct economic class. and sure while the middle class has expanded to include small investors and traders, we are referring to the vast majority of wage/salary workers who aren't doing that. Incidentally the industrial class responsible for the great surplus of goods, services and general commercial activity in that society that make it so robust, even during times of economic instability.

it would be a hairbrained move to be a proletariat who is broke enough to never have his own business or work for himself but smart enough to interpret and understand the basic premise of K-Marx, to deny atleast the theoretical possiblity of a transformation like such being very beneficial.

and believe me I see the profit disproportion between what a wage earner would get in exchange for eight hours of his labor, and what a self employed guy averages in the same time doing the same work. Real shit. I recently made $900 in seven hours... whereas had i done that same work as an hourly wage earner in my trade, I'd get less than a third of that.

This disparity exists in all fields to different degrees. In some, such as mine, it's obscene. Wait a minute what is this post even about? oh yeah that stirner quote.

yeah so as much as max is my homeboy, he, like so many others, battles with spooks in his own head about what he believes a textbook communist society would look like.

still and despite of his error, his formal objections to the communist style state are legitimate... but just because it would still be a form of government in general.

he's not objecting to the spirit of communism... the pure egoism of the worker to take back his production. rather it's the institutions and laws that would have to be in order first before any such society could stand a chance of working, that max is weary of. this is a bias tho because max was a narcissist and aristocratic dude who wouldn't be able to conform to any kind of rule whatsoever. he immediately forgets that the majority of the movement are not aristocrats, but plebs who need rules and do their productive best where rules exist.

really using stirner to attack marxism is like using an ontological weapon to disable and destroy an economic theory. but none of this theory claims to be or be dependent on, any kind of 'ontology' or nihilism from the lack thereof.

i shall be frank. marxism is a business model, gentlemen, and i trust that what I've shown you today will substantially change your point of view on the matter if you are honest enough to admit to yourselves that the shared class consciousness and economic and social interests of those people who have this kind of life in common, should draw the proletariat together and inspire them to change their government to the better advantage of the whole of society.

enjoy the irony if you please.

1) we could probably say Texas is THE state most adamant about gun rights.

2) Emo kid walks into a school and starts shootin er'body with a semi-automatic assault rifle.

3) Texas law enforcement outfitted in fuckin SEAL gear enter school and hang out in the hallway for an hour with all their cool weapons.

for two points, explain to me why this is so wonderfully ironic, so incredibly rich.

https://bestgore.fun/w/5MqXJ1j52ZWkSftiteAED1

p.s. for the record I support the second amendment, but not so you can buy a bunch of guns and create an action figure alterego for yourself because your real life is a joke.

no. i prefer weapons be readily available to the working classes so that if a revolution pops off, they'll be able to get her done.

I believe in one's ability to use guns. I have been saving up for a 105mm howitzer, just nostalgic for the C130 gun ships I use to work on.
Buying the plane and all, well it is still out of my budget.
So, if you got no law about what a man is, then is it not a fact, there cannot be any law prohibiting any so called man from just playing cowboys and Indians forever. I mean, you look at the common sci fie picture, even Star Wars, ain't it nuthin by cowboys and Indians?

Imagine it, apes masturbating then as they do now. That is real stability, ain't no such thing as evilsolution.
