I don’t think the reason for the setting of the movie was to be taken very serious. It could have been much more realistic in its scenario, but then people would have criticised it for being too “on the nose” or similar, like they did with Don’t look up.

That is the typical internet response whenever thatg movie is brought up in this context. But that response fails to take into consideration that they only did that after not having done that for hundreds of years until the point where the movie begins.

Not a good example, since that shows the happy ending where powerful countries are finally finishing off the fascist regime after years of war and millions of lives lost. That is the amount of effort and determination it took to rid Germany of its fascists.

No such prospects for the American fascist regime. On the contrary the most powerful countries in the world will happily support it, because it undermines Western dominance.

Lots of Americans especially.

Not on the US corporate curated internet. It hurts the feelings of advertisers.

You are confusing a lot of pol science terms, as well as using some which aren’t part of pol science at all.

All modern democracies are representative democracies, as in voters votes for representatives to represent them. Switzerland has elements of direct democracy, but on a foundation of representative democracy as well. Constitutional, presidential and liberal democracy are not an actual meaningful terms in political science.

Technically the US is a representative democracy, but I am pretty sure OPs is asking about the practice of the thing. And the practice is very different from the written word about how it was supposed to be, especially this recent presidential term.

This is America.

This is the internet.

Grateful Dead is definitely huge in Europe as well.

That is taking it a bit too far. Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash are definitely known, especially because they kinda crossed over into over genres than straight country, but 99% of other country artists aren’t.

I switched to it a couple of years ago, with the expectation that I had to resort to google in more complex search instances. But very soon I found out that ddg did the job, and my “alternative” google searches did not turn up anything better, quite the contrary in fact, and I haven’t been back since.

That is only because the cats sense that you don’t like them. If you actually liked them they behave pretty much as you experience dogs does to you.

Apparently it is a popular American myth.

It seems like you are mainly criticising fans (perhaps imaginary fans) rather than the show itself. I do agree that the later seasons are just not as good as the first ones, and personally I have little interest in the newest season, it never should have been revived in my opinion, it is just going to end up like the Simpsons.

I will gladly rewatch old episodes though, and no, not because I think it predicts anything, but because it is damn funny.

such as with its views on theology and politics which are trademark 90’s views.

You are getting me curious. Could you give some examples of what trademark 90’s views on theology and politics are?

Exactly my impression as well.

Hippies were a small minority. They were just covered a lot by the media, but people seem to forget that Nixon won his re-election by a landslide.

In what way is this the fault of both sides? This is very clearly an entirely manufactured “crisis” by the GOP.

Nothing wrong with them, but a lot of “alternative medicine” special interest groups wants you to believe there is, as evidenced by a lot of the links uncritically posted in this very thread alone.

In most of the world rapeseed oil is considered a neutral vegetable oil, and is definitely not strong flavoured. I don’t know what you do to it in Australia, but it isn’t being done most other places.

Their posting history reveals them to be a racist troll.

Posting history of OP clearly shows them to be a troll who gets off on creating posts with controversial headlines. Please stop feeding it (and also please stop believing everything you read on the internet).
