since about 2015, hollywood has congratulated itself and circle-jerked over the 'strong women' characters they've written.
i'd say this roughly began with rey in the force awakens (2015).
what hollywood forgets is that strong characters have to have a personality, otherwise audiences don't really relate to them.. well, hollywood should really stop patting themselves on the back as if they've done something special.. strong female characters have been a staple for decades.. here's one: private vasquez, from aliens (1986).
Here's one: Private Vasquez, from Aliens (1986). She isn't stunning and brave like today's feminists
I remember that movie. She was a badass. Got curious about this. Went to look her up. Turns out that private Vasquez wasn't even hispanic. Jewish, I think, which of course means that today she would not have gotten that job under the guise of culture appropriation infringements.
Here she is today
i live with my parents in law and yesterday, my mother in-law was very nervous about an email she got from the brothers in her congregation.
it was asking if she would be able to receive people over at our house should there be a catastrophe.
so, she asked me if i would agree with this.
What happened to the "Ark of Salvation" Jehovah`s protection for the faithful in troubling times ?
Jellohoba always comes out shinning. Never expected to do anything. Corona virus, hurricanes, nuclear war, doesn't matter what it is. You can count on Jellohoba to sit on his ass along gzillions of angels doing nothing.
Remember that god only acts in past -- as written in the fairy tale book -- or in the near future which of course keeps getting pushed down the road. Don't expect any action in the present moment.
the new name for u.f.o.`s have you seen these videos and interviews with the u.s.navy`s pilots and the reports that the united states are now taking this phenomenon seriously ?.
and now more publicly than they ever did before , apart from project blue book .?.
as an 18 year old i,along with a few others witnessed what i would describe as an u.a.p.
If you have not watched, take a look at the documentary "Countdown to disclosure"
israel retaliated and some are accusing israel of an “act of terrorism”.
evidently these rockets are trying to get to tel aviv but the dome is getting overwhelmed.. i wonder if the usa and other nations will come to israel’s defense..
and they could have an independent country if they were willing to negotiate. But a negotiation can only happen if both parties are willing to accept the other side as a negotiator. If the palestinians think that Israel has no right to exist, how do you negotiate with that?
or do you think trump actually won???
?.
I have been resisting this idea that Biden stole the election, because there just hasn't been real evidence of it. The courts rejected everything presented to them as well.
But the evidence that is beginning to come out starting with Arizona, is pretty damming. I'm not surprised, it's bit foolish to think that the "machine" wouldn't pull strings in order to get its way.
Trump, even if i don't like him, is not part of the system. The man is a buffoon, but you have to give him credit in that he has not let himself be bought by the system. And so the system hated him.
If you think about it, it took a pandemic (which perhaps was also planned by the Chinese to make things worse before the election) and rigging the election to negate the public support that Trump got.
… and the dude's black.
xd.
no, it's not a joke, lol.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=balig2jw7sa.
How can someone be accused of white privilege?
Privilege is something you either have or not. Even if someone has some sort of privilege, they just have it, they didn't ask for it.
Will Smith's kids have tremendous privilege. All sorts of doors are open to them that are closed to the average person. Yet, I wouldn't accuse them of anything. They were just lucky to be born into their position in society.

it's not easy to empathize with Palestinians. In a way you do feel bad for the way they are treated by Israelis as second level citizens, but here's the thing:
It is the Palestinians who refuse peace. The only way forward is a two state deal, but how do you do that when the Palestinians say they refuse, and that the only acceptable thing is for Israel to stop existing? You can't negotiate with people like that -- they are not honest brokers.
Any Palestinian who complains about Israel is a moron because they should be going back to the Palestinian leadership and criticize them for not sitting down at the negotiating table. People on the street yelling at Israel. Again, idiots. They should be yelling at Palestinian leadership for not being reasonable and refusing to negotiate.
Make two states. Everybody compromises to some extent. Then the palestinians will have a country of their own, they won't need to be freed, and every Palestinian living in Israel, can also leave to the new country if they choose to.
the president of the united states says we have to do something about this.
many politicians and people agree that we are all affected by the scourge of systemic racism.
what’s your view of this?
I again was listening to a podcast today where this college professor was saying that systemic racism is a reality, while again not providing anything concrete that supports this.
Systemic racism should be the easiest thing in the world to resolve. It should take no more than a few months, because laws and policies are fairly easy to change. What is not easy to change is racism because it lives in the minds of people and that you cannot change via legislation.

Their definition is different than your definition
Well I really don't care if they have come up with their own definition, just as I don't care if they come with with their own definition of the law of gravity.
Systemic racist is the concept that I have explained, and it doesn't exist. As I mentioned shifting the goal posts by pretending systemic racism is something different is intellectually dishonest.
It's just as silly as when people try to assert that god exists, by saying that God is all of the love in the world.

what’s your view of this?
There is no systemic racism in the US.
The concept is basically that if you pressed a button and magically all of the racists in the world disappeared, the system would continue to be racist only for its laws and policies.
So which laws and policies are overtly racist? Nobody ever is able to point any out, so this term is just used because it's trendy but nobody can ever point anything that needs to be fixed.
Now, decades ago we did have systemic racism. The laws openly prevented minorities to do a variety of things. No longer the case.
Sometimes people shift the goal posts, to try to say that if the outcome is different, then it's systemic racism. But the concept is unrelated to outcome, because outcome is not really only dependent only on laws and policies.
