exactly. and bigotry isn't limited to sex or race stuff.
people pretty much hate anyone who is different than them. even so called progressive inclusive hippie types... will express crazy bigotry towards groups they don't like based on crude stereotypes that are largely not true.
our brains love to generalize. They don't like treating people who are different than us as worth our acknowledgement and esteem.
my weekly work lunch is a soda and a sandwich with a bag of chips. It's $20. 5 years ago it was $12.
I don't. But I'm a rich american who can afford to be picky and eat different stuff for every meal and eat 1-2 meals a day from restaurants regularly.
a lot of people eat the same food several days in a row, or several meals in a row.
you only feel that way because you see food as pleasure to be enjoyed. not as a necessity for living. lots of people eat to live.
They do. They taste like shit.
they also make shakes that do this. also taste like shit.
It's more about whether you're authoritarian.
A lot of 'antifacists' i know are the first people to scream at others for 'being out of line' on a political issue. They claim to be anti-facist but practice politics like facists by trying to intimidate, harass, demean, and bully anyone who disagrees with them. Because they are the authority in their mind.
In my mind they act just like the fascist Trump people they claim to be against, they just use different sets of words when they are harassing/screaming/threatening people.
Most folks are neutral on a lot of stuff, and it's perfectly fine to be that way.
Surprised no one in this thread has yet mentioned how this movie very much parallels Alien: Isolation and the huge success that game had by being so consistent with the premise of the first movie.
a fresh coat of paint on an old house is a good thing.
trying to remodel the damn thing to fit whatever is trendy here and now, ruins the whole house.
Agreed. The star wars stuff that is great is the stuff that isn't tied down to the original trilogy characters and plot. it's stuff that expands upon it with new characters and stories in the existing universe's rules.
This is why the star wars prequels/sequels were so poorly received, they were totally inconsistent with the universe for the sake of ham-fisting in the original characters and re hashing the original plotline of the first trilogy. There was no respect for the rules that were established in the OG trilogy that people came to know and love.
not even. 1950s we had this idealized version that everyone was heterosexual, owned a home and had strict gender roles.
That shit is now all blown apart. And for most folks the complexities of it all are beyond understanding.
And it cuts both ways. I don't care about other people's genders and identities, but boy they care about mine. Gotten plenty of sexist slurs from queer/trans people based on my gender and lots of shitty assumptions. I'm bi, but I 'present' as a heterosexual dudebro, and it makes non-gender conforming people angry at me for some reason, also many insecure straight men and women. Only people who don't seem to care are people who are bi, or secure in their sexuality. Way too many people feel the need to do that though.
