>>217376831You kidding? You struck gold. Ask her if she likes Commando or Predator more.
>My GF is a MAGAtard who loves to watch Right Wing Propaganda. How fucked am I?Don't believe you, even if a woman is "right wing" they still don't give so much of a shit for those kinds of movies unless maybe she's in the army.
>>217376831>>"No. We're watching this.".So you're a whipped pussy bitch? You have more problems than her movie taste
faggot ass larp concern trolling thread hang yourself on a barb wire nigger
>>217376831Stop making shit up. You don't have a girlfriend. You are a faggot.
>>217376831Isn’t nation building a fundamentally leftist platform?
Are people who post on /tv/ 12 years old or something? This post is obviously a parody.
>>217377007No. Black Hawk Down is explicitly right-wing. IMDb listed it number one in Right-Wing films.
You jest, but Black Hawk Down is so fucking kino even if it is a recruit ad.
>>217377215It’s a great movie but was unfortunately unleashed on a population that can’t tell fiction from reality and has internalized it was the true story of Mogadishu.
>>217376831>This is a thing that totally happened
>>217376831Don't they kill somalis in this? so she should love it for killing those day care fraudsters.
>>217377255What's the true story? I read the book back in the day and it seemed americans didn't take any of it seriously and then it was just a fuck up after a fuck up.

>>217377190Well fuck case closed >>217377255>Look at this movie about what happened in Mogadishu >(This is actually not what happened in Mogadishu)Movies are quasi experiences and if you make a movie about the medieval era that shows people covered in mud, the people who watch it will believe that the people were actually covered in mud. That's the core principle behind propaganda, people generally believe what they get told as long as it comes from a credible source. And sadly most people learn history through movies or TV shows.
>>217377330Most of the cartoonishly evil stuff Aidid does in the movie didn’t happen (he did steal aid from convoys to sell for weapons, but not directly out of the hands of civilians trying to get food). The Somali soldiers were far more annoyed at the circumstances of the conflict than you would think, seeing it as Aidid having a personal grudge against the UN and not really a just cause, although obviously once boots were on the ground, they didn’t shy away from fighting and gloating a good bit.Some guys in Delta had to get their asses saved by the Pakis, which is mostly glossed over.A lot of the rangers weren’t even old enough to drink and would do stupid stunts in the blackhawks (like intentionally knocking over market stalls and ripping off women’s clothes) that didn’t exactly enamor them to the locals.A lot of the abuses from the American, Pakistani, and Malaysian forces are just completely omitted for the sake of the narrative.A lot of this does come up in the book, and obviously the film isn’t a documentary. But that’s just some stuff off the top of my head.
>>217377398I’m not trying to completely absolve anyone making war films from blame (god knows how many DoD dollars go into these things over the years), just saying that if ridiculous war films have to exist, I’d rather people didn’t think they were literally real.Something recently like this that irked me was that Sound of Freedom movie stringing together a bunch of in real life unrelated groups that the guys behind the movie had an axe to grind against by accusing them of all being involved in a pedo ring. I’m pretty sure the island raid was the only part that really happened (but most of the people were labor trafficked and not sex trafficked), and there’s that entire end sequence where he has to pretend to be an aid worker to infiltrate a FARC base because the leader has trafficked a little girl, despite the fact that FARC had never engaged in child sex trafficking when it was active. You can literally find a laundry list of a million weird and fucked up things FARC did, but they weren’t in the business of shuffling around child sex slaves like the movie would have you believe. The closest thing to that was the fact that in villages where they operated, girls ages 13-18 would usually “date” members in order to curry favor and keep their families safe.
>>217377534Idk about sound of freedom but all movies work that way. The suspension of disbelief helps to print the images and the sounds in the viewers mind, and if there's nothing to correct them, like the actual knowledge or experience of the events shown in the movie, they will get considered as the reality. For exemple Save Private Ryan or, even worse, Enemy at the Gate, shaped the perception of WW2 for millions of people worldwide despite glaring inaccuracies. But that's the same thing for any movie that depicts "a true story". That's why movies and tv shows are considered critical material for anyone who wants to shape the mind of the people, and why they're willing to spend our even waste so much money on them.
>>217377777I think we completely agree on this but I’m just being a nitpicker and you’re taking a broader view.Also, nice digits.
>>217377820Probably my first quints in 20 years. All thanks to OP shitposting. Funny how that works.
>>217376831How come Somali pirates buckbroke Delta golems but Venezuela couldn’t?
