They still make them, it’s just that they aren’t super mainstream anymore and most people who grew up with them grew out of that type of humour, and the nostalgia is what’s hitting them for those movies.

Seth Rogen still makes them, the guys from workaholics made one not too long ago, there’s some other good fringe ones I’ve seen.

American moment where people are worried the fast food industry will be ruined.

You can’t ruin something that’s already hot garbage to begin with.

What irritates me is that I know whatever Ben Shapiro said on his show every week because the exact same words come out of people I know’s mouths that week. It’s such low effort, easily identified propaganda. I don’t understand why it works so well. Like I don’t get it at all.

The radicalization towards the right is what disturbs me the most. I am a blue collar working class person from a small town in a very conservative province, and I don’t understand at all how everything that’s happened has not radicalized people overwhelmingly towards left wing economics.

I blame most of it on culture war bullshit honestly, but a large part of me is just disappointed in how overwhelmingly stupid and easily manipulated a lot of my friends and family seem to be. The writing is on the wall as far as I can tell. I read a lot of books on economics and history and politics, and I don’t expect everyone to do that, but even before I got into reading about that shit I could tell that something was very wrong with how right wing pundits pushed their shit. It irritates me to no end having to explain these things in person to people I otherwise respect, see them talk about it and internalize it, and then two days later see them devolve right back into the same right wing propagandized mentality. Idk man, it’s disheartening.

Yeah I mean, I know why.

But it should be obvious to people when they see stuff like this and the heritage fund and other similar groups that it’s obvious propaganda efforts from the elites, and you think that alone would push people left.

But often times it doesn’t. And I don’t know how to fix that.

When I first learned about the IDU I was pretty horrified. Why are there all these big money right wing groups dedicated to pushing the world to be more right wing and zero left wing counterparts for it?

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

No, it doesn’t. But there’s something ridiculous about a Hollywood exec looking at hot women in a show and then saying there’s no sex appeal.

lol seriously. He has shown in a very stark way that the rich are above the law in the US. You can literally try to overthrow the government and then threaten and slander judges and their families and still not go to prison if you’re rich.

You would assume that slandering a judges daughter while he was presiding over your case would land you in jail quickly.

I’m sure if I, a poor, did it, it sure would.

The whole “season” system for games has always annoyed me.

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I feel like you’re gonna get zero negative responses to this, because, after all

We’re all on Lemmy

I didn’t know you can do that. I can’t wait to remove “marvel” “Harry Potter” and “Lord of the Rings” from my feed forever.
