  • SW is a shadow of Dune (and a Vietnam war allegory?) with as much substance as one, and they stretched that nothingness way too much with new movies and shows of the IP. Old Trek had, at least, a pro-life, hopeful, morally upright vibe to it, so it gets my vote. 👍




  • I think the corruption of the empire in the midst of the rise of the global South and the dissemination of information means that America can no longer dictate policies around the world (else we coup, bomb or destabilise you) without consequence, and that the narratives around America, which basically turned the world’s rapist and murderer into a hero or something (nothing new, just the new head of Western civilization, after the UK, France and Germany bombed each other into irrelevance), are quickly being destroyed by reality.

    Of course, most of the world understood this inherently because they were Western victims, but heads of state (and everyone under them in the power structure, including media companies) had to acquiesce or else… now, not so much.










  • I haven’t since Facebook, and I stopped using it in 2011-12. Nothing to do with morals or idk digital know-how, I’m just very easily triggered by people spouting half-baked, often morally disgusting opinions, and I’d rather not get my day ruined finding out a person I had partied with and gotten along fine was actually either very dumb or very evil. At least on Reddit/Lemmy/the chans idk the person so the emotional impact is lessened. 🙃
