How do you know when you have it? Asking for a friend.
>>221234499when you stop being baited by strawman arguments from twitter
>>221234499There's an enormous number of brown retards on this board who genuinely agree with the OP image
>>221234499Reminds me of my buddy Bateman
>>221234499He's pretty cool in season 1 but then he turns into a loser
I like how media literacy has become projecting your morals onto the plot, even if it was not remotely the intention
>>221234499Chop off your testicles, and penis then start injecting supratherapeutic doses of estrogen.
>>221234499This is a troll, but anyone who’s been in his shoes knows how miserable it is. I think the best thing Don has going for him is that he’s rich. But this comes at the cost of working all the time - when he starts to coast is when he loses his edge and starts to hate his job. Also, he’s constantly keeping up affairs, which is exhausting. You put in twice as much work: you have to go home and pretend you’re fine, then sneak around and pretend you love this other woman. It’s way easier just to be faithful or single.Anyway, the rise of media illiteracy comes from too many people who can’t empathize and think they’re the main character. Everything revolves around them, and any piece of media they consume they have to frame it in relation to themselves. They can’t just watch something for what it is.
>>221234499Media Literacy is mostly a buzzword that was popularized by the lelddit dork community a few years ago. It specifically came about after the release of Helldivers 2 which took heavy inspiration for its tone and look from the Starship Troopers movie. With the release of the game, renewed discussion of the film itself followed too, the center of which was if the movie was itself a mocking depiction of fascism. The funniest part is that the film itself is an instance of the director not having media literacy, not understanding the source material, and freaking out and attacking a strawman. He never fully read the book either.
I prefer the more fitting term "propaganda immunity"
>>221234545Nah they’re white
>>221234499You can only be media literate if your brain is damaged so much that you decide to cut off your own dick and engage in terrorism in pursuit of your own rape and murder. The sole alternative is called 'being a chud'.
>>221234674>The funniest part is that the film itself is an instance of the director not having media literacy, not understanding the source materialNope. Verhoeven just found the book too boring to finish, got someone to summarise the plot and then decided to not give a shit about the source material and do his own thing with it. Like a chad.
>>221234759cope and seethe. The whole "media literacy" discussion is boring anyway, the more interesting aspect is that leftist took the side of disgusting space bugs who want to genocide all humans on site for literally no reason simply bc they are "the other." Very telling about their worldview and how they fight for hostile foreigners who are robbing, murdering, and raping them.
>Don is depressed just like you but he has sex with hot women and is rich
>>221234821Facts don’t cope nor seethe, they just exist as the truth.
>>221234545Semi related but I have met two people in my life who genuinely thought the joker was smart and right and just got it. One had joker tattoos and the other named his one man panting company after the joker.
>>221234499I have seen no one idolize Walter White or Tony Soprano or Jordan DiCaprio (money guy) or Patrick Bateman.I have seen countless pseuds clearly under the impression that they're the one and only person who watched these shows/movies and realized these guys were kinda mean.
>>221234821>leftist took the side of disgusting space bugs who want to genocide all humansThey literally didn't. Criticism of the military authoritarian society is not tacit approval of anything else. This is what happens when direction-politics indoctrination completely obliterates your mental faculties. Stop letting them do that to you.
>>221235120>They literally didn't.Yes they did. Youre defending the genocidal space bugs from a sci fi movie due to youre insane cucked brainwashing.
>>221235049exactly, like the fact that the society depicted in Starship Troopers is objectively not Fascist. Or the fact that Verhoven didnt read the book, got triggered, and made a strawman of the story because he didnt have media literacy.
>>221235054Being a successful sociopath that makes life worse for everyone around you is a common fantasy for impotent losers, and this site is full of them.
>>221235136Feel free to scour twitter for someone saying that bugs are right to kill humans and are the good guys for doing so.
>>221235054These people are simply retards piece of shit. Their logic is that the joker had a hard life, so that means hes the hero and is justified in inflicting misery on random people
>Guys it's actually fine to live in a society that only provides the right to political power through military service; that definitely won't result in an endless cycle of wars perpetrated by those in power to maintain that power>Why yes I do believe the giant bugs somehow launched an asteroid at Earth that seems reasonable why would my government every tell lies to me?
>>221235204Pretending to be retarded is not an argument. Case closed
>>221235204see>>221235231lol stupid faggot.
>>221235263>he thinks the redditards are "pretending"
How 'bout that prick's face when he saw the media literacy
>>221235277That's literally not saying anything about the bugs being good or right. This is what I'm fucking saying you illiterate retards holy fuck.CRITICISM IS NOT ENDORSEMENT.
>>221234674Most people that like Helldivers and Starship Troopers like them precisely because of the depiction of fascist themes though? By definition it's because of media literacy.
>>221235295We get it, youre being retarded as an argument. lol faggot
>>221235231>>Why yes I do believe the giant bugs somehow launched an asteroid at Earth that seems reasonable why would my government every tell lies to me?Stick to what's on screen and ignore the movie you have in your head, retardThat's media literacy
>>221235295LOL this tranny's seething
>>221235303Fictional fascism is fun, like fictional violence.There is no fascism in ST btw
>>221235303>>221235231>leftist saw a guy saying "think for yourself and make your own decisions for your life" and went AHHHH FASCISM I WANT BUGS TO MURDER ME AHHH
>>221235231>>Why yes I do believe the giant bugs somehow launched an asteroid at Earth that seems reasonableVerhoeven said in his commentary track that the bugs were responsible for the attack on Buenos Aires.
>>221235231>complain about media literacy>make up head canon to retroactively put 9/11 truther shit into the movielol
>>221235358Yeah unless you don't want to be at war in which case you don't have the power to actually make those decisions or live a life you want.
>>221235350When are they not?
>>221235399what the fuck are you talking about? War isnt an exclusively "fascist" thing
Anyone using the term "media literacy" is illiterate. Spaceship Soldiers was about Hollywood movies and American culture like Robocop.
>>221235054>We Live in A Society Painting damn that actually a kino name for a business
>>221235400When they're sexually abusing children
>>221234499>media literacyMore word salad for leftards to twist arguments their own way.
>>221234499meta media literacy is just realizing you should just think the opposite of what media is trying to morally brainwash you with
>>221235418>War isnt an exclusively "fascist" thingAt literally no point did I claim that it was. I didn't use the word fascism at all. Why are you hallucinating that I did?
>>221235466Well youre making vague and incoherent claims that dont really relate to anything Im posting. Try again with responding to this because it pretty clearly shows how retarded the whole "this society if fascist!" argument actually is>>221235358
>>221235358that's the truth about the left: they believe in dangerous ideas and dangerous minds.they have their own blasphemy laws and prohibitions from thinking certain ways (like thinking like a racists); hence why they suck at theorizing the mind of their opponents and just strawman & dehumanize them as chuds, incels, nazis, etc.
>>221235502Can't you just read my post again that had nothing to do with any claims of fascism? I'm simply criticising their society I don't fucking know or care what term is used to describe it.
>>221234499If you like Marvel movies you have it.
muh media literacymuh buzzword repeated 1 bajillion times by redditorsas soon as I see someone say this term I know they're a faggot
>>221235534Im telling you that youre post are vague and make no real point and Im inviting you to make youre argument more clearly. If you dont want to and just want to shit post then thats okay too. My mistake thinking that you could actually articulate an interesting or novell take instead of just repeating buzzwords and insults.
>>221234499
>>221234499I in large part blame twitter and insta for this crap. The moment they started paying people for views and interactions it was always going to end up with retards saying retarded shit to get interactions and get paid and there will always be a percentage that believes the shit anyone says so it just compounds
>>221235534>criticising their societyWhat issue do you have with their society? You shouldn't go to war even if literal bug monsters are trying to destroy humanity?The only real critique should be towards the society of violent apes (like me) that wastes their time on unrealistic fantasies about bug wars.
>>221235551I think it's a bad thing to have democratic power restricted to those who perform military service because I think that will lead to inevitable warmongering as those in power attempt to remain in power. That's why I took issue with you insinuating that "thinking for yourself and making your own decisions" was somehow a tenet of the film's government, because that's objectively not possible to do unless you participate in the system that is already extant. For example if you didn't want to live through a series of forever wars at the behest of the government what recourse would you have? That's why I don't get people claiming that it's actually some kind of utopia because the streets are clean or some gay shit like that, ignoring important shit like fucking freedom.
>>221235432I wish. It was essentially "joker painting*
Redditors think that movies are a game where the goal is to figure out what the theme is and if you can do that then you are smart, which has lead us to every movie having a blatant surface level moral to it to make redditors feel smart because they know what the theme is. This is how movies like Joker get praised as genius, because it is so over the top and blatant with its themes that it gives people a dopamine rush thinking they're smart enough to understand it
>>221235633Its called "literalism." The woke crowd would get triggered by seeing depictions of bad things in any sort of vague manner so movies were made to be as blunt and literal as possible.
>>221235083People are constantly idolising them
>>221235148Almost thirty years later and still seething that Verhoeven made biting satire of their favourite book
>>221235661As much as I hate these woke movies I don't think its totally tied to that, first of all Joker was a chud movie but also now there's like a billion Sheridan tv shows and movies like sound of freedom which maga boomers slurp up which are exactly the same thing for a different audience. I think it is a result of the modern rationalist worldview turning everything into a "science" being completely at odds with art and culture
>>221235633Incel chuds were the ones identifying with Joker. They were also the ones angry about the second part. Most left wingers and centrists weren't impressed by these flicks.
>>221235601>will lead to inevitable warmongeringIf the non citizens gets their lifestyle eroded and become disappointed, all they need to do is stop joining the army
>>221235713Correction.It was woketard getting alarmed by the movie and claiming it was going to lead to a chud revolution. That shit obviously never happened. What happened was that the movie became a meme and millions of memetards latched on it.
>>221235713Retarded chuds identified with the joker because the movie beat them over the head with how misunderstood and outcast he was (just like the girl reading this...) rather than any nuance. Taxi Driver does a better job at the same thing because it is understated and you can tell the Schrader, Scorses and De Niro all saw themselves in the main character, it didn't need a malnourished guy running about in sad clown makeup freaking out the whole time to show you how much society had let him down
>>221235601This is simply you being ignorant to what the actual government is or what civics are. Democratic power is literally rooted in military service anon. The Greek city states were built on this system were only the hoplites, the infantry force of the military, could vote or hold public office and be citizens. Athens is regarded as the most democratic because they extended this citizenship to rowers in their navy who were usually poor men. This is also why historically Navies have been the basis for Democratic movements as well. When Critias (essentially the ancient version of Hitler in terms of being a universally reviled dictator) took over Athens, he famously burned the naval docks in order to crush the democratic movement. Fast forward to the early United States, The Democratic Party rose to prominence due to support of recently enfranchised poor and landless white men. A move that was done specifically because these men were expected to serve in the militia and as such had a right to enfranchisement. After the Civil War, this was extended to black men due to their service in the Union Army. The reason the voting age was lowered to 18 is because 18 year olds are eligible for the draft or at least can enlist in the military. This is the core theme that Heinlein was tapping into.
>>221235736No one believed that Joker will spark a revolution, lol. People were afraid some retard might shoot a theater.
>>221235682Only one seething about Starship Troopers is Verhoeven, who seethes about Robert E. Heinlein.I wonder why, it's a mystery lmao.
>>221235754Yeah and we live under warmongers using war as a tool to further their own ends at the cost of the common man lmao.
>>221235601>because I think that will lead to inevitable warmongering Not in the movie, everyone was free, the education system was focused on freedom and the powerful like the guy's family were private capitalists who looked down on the military.In reality there would be plenty for a space military to do besides war especially since aliens aren't real.
>>221235713The Joker was entirely left wing coded and simply tried to divert alt right rage onto more palatable targets. They had a clear Bernie Goetz inspired scene, but The Joker gets harassed and beat up on the subway by...middle aged, wealthy, white men. You know, because inner cities are plagued with violent crime committed by middle aged, wealthy, white men. Thats who you REALLY need to be pissed at chud
>>221235760Nobody believed it could spark a shooting either.All the fearmongering around that movies was as transparent as it was retarded
>>221235798When and where that didn't happen?
>>221235798Again, more vague shit. Please make a point instead of just posting cornball Rage Against the Machine lyrics.
>>221235745He shot the talk show host representing the brainwashing industry. That's enough to objectively be more of a hero than batman.
>>221235054They're not crazy, they're just ahead of the curve.
>>221235822>>221235826Do I have to respond to these posts in good faith? Seems unfair.
>>221235857You dont have to, you have the choice to do whatever you want. The reality is that you cant even if you wanted to.
>>221235754Lol, we are not primitive Greek tribals anymore. There's no reason for voting rights to be restricted to soldiers.
>>221235786Verhoeven was born in 1938 and spent his youth in Holland during WW2. He says in the commentary that he remembers being in bomb shelters and seeing dead bodies in the streets which Im sure had a severe effect on him as a child. Hes also a post war leftist who thinks everything is bullshit, so when he read the book it just triggered him. This isnt me making a joke, he actually says as much that the militarized society in the novel is just so upsetting to him. He also just equates "fascism" to mean any sort of powerful state, so he says that Ancient Rome, America, Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and China were all examples of Fascism.
>>221235798If you mean the US that only applies if you consider an abundance of resources that makes you incompetent dependents on foreign manufacturing a "cost". The common man in the US is spoiled by the abundance resulting from being the dominant military power.
>>221235909>There's no reason for voting rights to be restricted to soldiers.why not? If youre argument is just that its primitive, then why not just trash democracy in general?
>>221235895You really don't believe that wars are started by powerful people for their own gain? What exactly have you gained from the recent conflict in Iran?
>>221235933Because we live in a globalist society where war became largely obsolete. At least war between major powers. This is not 19th century anymore. Everyone realized that after WW1 and certainly after WW2.
>>221235601>streets are clean or some gay shit like that,Living in a safe and clean society where people arent disgusting freaks actually is pretty utopian. You saying this outs you as some resentful leftist piece of shit. Whats youre idea of a utopia?
>>221235054most people are complete fucking tools
>>221235957cool strawman. Like I said, you shitpost because thats all you can do. Youre an idiot who is literally imcapable of repsonding in good faith and youre incapable of forming your own ideas or your own arguments. >>221235358this triggers you so much because you CANT make up your own mind. Youre a directionless and confused little boy who needs an authority figure to take care of you. Youre going to respond to this post with rage because it hits way too close to home. Its always your parents, or teachers, or society, or capitalisms faults for your own shortcomings in life, right?
>>221235960This response does not follow my post at all anon. Try again. You said that system is old so is irrelevant, but if thats your argument, then democracy in general should be trashed, not just a core principle of it. Do you not realize that voting isnt a "right" but a privilege extended to certain citizens of a nation-state? Or are you one of those leftist who wants non citizens and illegal aliens to vote?
If your position is anything other than "only soldiers should vote", then your position is actually "I want others to bear 100% of the responsibility and risk. I will take 0% of those, but while they die, I will govern." Rationalize it all you like; you're a cowardly parasite.
>>221235963There's nothing utopian about their society, kek. It's a military junta controlling people with propaganda. It's deliberately very exaggerated, but you still seem it's great, lol. Were you even in the military if you defend their system so much?
Walter White genuinely did nothing wrong, he broke free from his bitch wife, retarded son and extended family's longhouse hell and became an artist-tyrant Ubermensch who accidentally rid the American Southwest of spic-nig cartels. He became fully realized.I'm not sure about Tony, need to rewatch the Sopranos.
>>221235963>if the streets are clean then it must be an utopiaBootlickers really are so dimwitted they latch onto the most superficial elements of what they simplemindedly think symbolises utopia
>>221236031the joke is the biggest threat to america is domestic and shooting it won't help
>>221235993My position that war being bad and militaristic regimes being bad is somehow not a tenable position because it's unoriginal and I needed someone to tell me to think that way?
>>221236031soldiers have been useless zogbots ever since WW2 has ended and real wars are a thing of the past so your proposition is just silly
>>221236025Male/soldier tribal democracy is old and simply obsolete. It's something that emerged in violent bronze age steppe tribes. We are obviously far more advanced now and war stopped being so commonplace so there's no reason for warriors/soldiers to control our advanced society. >voting isnt a "right" It's a right won by various mass movements in 19th century. >Or are you one of those leftist who wants non citizens and illegal aliens to vote?Universal male suffrage is a leftist idea. If you want to be so rightist maybe we should go back to absolute monarchy? Why should you peasants vote?
>>221236082>shooting it won't helpOkay; I'm stumped. We talking reptilians? Armor-Jews? The Federal Reserve?
>>221236052Agreed. A man's happiness comes before the safety and well-being of his family.
>>221236087>>221236089>>221236115>brainwashed retard parrots any and all established propaganda narratives as if they're his own thoughtsIf we lived in the world you're describing you would be their most fanatical soldier.
>>221236122>A man's self-determination comes before anything.Fixed. Becoming what you are is THE most important thing in life.
>>221236159Can you actually argue a point instead of just screeching about how original people are being? The quality of an argument is not determined by how novel it is you fucking retard. Also claiming that the poster who thinks war is bad would be a fanatical soldier is a bizarre take.
>>221234499Fuck media literacy, you guys don’t even have literacy. I can copy a book front to back and give it to you as a shitty cartoon, and then fucking tell you i stole it, and you don’t even believe me. Its a world of rubes out there and the marks have no desire to wise up. You like your noses rubbed in the shit
People read Tolkien and saw “nut brown” as meaning “literally fucking African” and you ask if the world has media literacy or any form of literacy for that matter?You don’t even need to bring in the black elves - which are surely 100x worse and more dishonest - to see how retarded the people making shows are now. The people running our world have zero literacy skills and this should concern you.
>>221236173Yes, and all Walt wanted was to be happy but his selfish family kept trying to put their concerns for their safety as well as the morality of his actions before his joy.Same with Tony Soprano. If AJ just stopped being a fuck up and if Carmela got over Tony's small dates with his mistresses then Tony would still be alive.
>>221236204i believe you <3
>>221236073>youre a bootlicker if you dont want insane ugly freaks murdering, raping, and doing drugs in the streetskill yourself
If you're media literate then you understand authorial intent. It doesn't matter if you disagree with it.
>>221236260Nah Walt wanted to hurt and dominate people
>>221235399only those who have served should be able to decide whether or not to wage war. rather than our modern society where the decision to fight is put in the hands of weaklings.
>>221236204You can't steal ideas or other non-tangible things.
>>221236257This website used to love Tolkien but now all I see is vitriolic hate from brown people for white men. The only people who enjoy slop like the rings of power are brown people. They (Indians) also support Thiel here, and India is literally fucking Mordor (hideous diarrhea land of shit covered infrastructure) and they create nothing new or good and they only mimic and use AI for everything. The world is soulless. It sees shit as beautiful.
>>221236310>Rightwing propaganda: all lefties are kid fuckers>Leftwing propaganda: here's all the times Trump was in the Epstein files
>>221236312Which made him happy. And the people he hurt were criminals which makes his actions justified.
>>221236257Is Thiel retarded LMAO
>>221236320Tolkien is an example of white male greatness. Jeets can’t have that. In a hundred years the invention of the internet will be attributed to some Pajeet.
>>221236260>and all Walt wanted was to be happyHe wanted to be excellent, for his life to finally matter, so he takes extraordinary actions for his life to gain meaning before his cancer kills him. He sheds all societal herd mentality, conventional morality and becomes an outstanding individual.And at the end of the series he finally admits all of this and dies with no regrets, embracing his life and fate in its totality, amor fati. Walter White was a Nietzschean hero.
>>221236311So people like Thiel >>221236257 aren’t media literate then? Because he totally warped the message.
>>221236320>India is literally fucking Mordor.I disagree solely on the fact that I can look at Mordor with it's volcanic wasteland aestheic and still think it looks cool.
>>221236115I dont think your comment makes much sense. Like what are you talking about, theres wars all the time, its a universal human thing. Theres the Israeli-Palestine War, the Russia-Ukraine War, America-Iran, and theres also the border clashes between Afghanistan and Pakistan or the numerous wars going on in Africa right not. NATO and the European countries, which previously adopted this sort of attitude you have, are beefing up their militaries. You dont get a break from history anon. I asked you a direct question anon. You being a pissy passive aggressive bitch isnt an answer, do you want illigal immigrants and non citizens to vote?
>>221234499Media literacy in the way it’s used means to allow the most anti-white and anti-make interpretation of ALL media to be the objectively correct one such that you either accept it OR you’re problematic and justify anti-white and anti-male sentiments. It’s legitimately that simple. It’s a roundabout way to virtue signal.>oh I knew Walter White was evil the first second he appeared on screen, wink wink.>omg you’re so virtuous!
>>221235601>I think it's a bad thing to have democratic power restricted to those who perform military service because I think that will lead to inevitable warmongering as those in power attempt to remain in power.how so? those who serve in peacetime also earn their citizenship. there are also other forms of service besides fighting.
>>221236343>muh epstein files
>>221236383Orcs also don’t bathe in a river of disease I don’t think?
Is media literacy the same kind of feminist mumbojumbo as "emotional intelligence"?
>>221235960>Because we live in a globalist society where war became largely obsoleteHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAwe literally just HAD a war.Russia and Ukraine are still at war.War will never be obsolete, so long as living things exist.LIFE is war, and has been since the first single celled organism ate another single celled organism.
Rightoids generally lack it. No, the bugs aren't the good guys, but humans aren't good either. That's the point. The movie focuses strongly on military propaganda, how it molds people creating new generations of obedient, mindless soldiers. The movie doesn't even end with humans winning the war, but with another propaganda movie showing the new generation repeating the lines of the old generation and perpetuating the cycle of death and destruction. It's obvious what was Verhoeven's intent.
>>221236460>No, the bugs aren't the good guys, but humans aren't good either. That's the point.ok, but the situation is either fight the bugs or be genocided by them. Thats the reality in the context of the narrative.
>>221236460Can't accept that the lesser of two evils is evil, [my team] has to be a divinely ordained good guys. Whole generation of kids raised on capeslop, very bad for the brain.
>>221236451Those are new developments. They are also largely proxy war, not massive conflicts like in the past. >LIFE is war, and has been since the first single celled organism ate another single celled organism.It's also cooperation. Thanks to endosymbiosis more complex organisms could emerge.
>>221235231>only provides the right to political power through military serviceThis is not true at all, military service is simply the "easiest" way to become a citizen. The girl in the shower scene says "easiest", not "only".We also see that Rico's parents are well-off, if not outright rich. They're not citizens.Indeed, in the "fascist hellscape" nearly everyone is fit and well educated, the streets are clean, the schools are well funded, and every military person we see has no regrets about their service, even the ones who lost body parts. Military commanders and politicians who fuck up are held to account immediately and the approach is changed to adapt to the new information.I would rather live there than anywhere in the real world.
>>221236451Um. War is gay as fuck now. Trump couldn’t even put feet on the ground in Iran because the world is a giant pussy and doesn’t actually want regime change in Iran. Another 47 years of theocratic “oh em hee they have nukes again” hell. Does it even matter if these people have nukes? They’re awful people. They tell their youth to surround the buildings most likely to be bombed by American forces. They haven’t changed. The world hasn’t changed. The world sees evil and it does not give one fuck about it. Only when Jews and white people (the most successful people on the planet) do something is it seen as news worthy. For reasons that are obvious.
>>221236460Leftoids think it is more interesting for a movie to be about how fascists are bad than to make you wonder whether propaganda and totalitarianism is justified when met with an existential threat
>>221235231>Lift set pieces from a book that you haven't read>Turn a veiled criticism of the real world modern military into "Nazis in Space!">tell people it is satire when they point out your movie missed the point of the book>retards praise you
>>221235231>hat definitely won't result in an endless cycle of wars perpetrated by those in power to maintain that poweractually yeah. It makes more sense that going to war would be treated much more seriously if ALL those making that decision were the ones fighting in one vs just a random politician.
>>221236115>It's something that emerged in violent bronze age steppe tribes. which are superior to modernity.>We are obviously far more advanced now and war stopped being so commonplace so there's no reason for warriors/soldiers to control our advanced society. war is still commonplace. and violence is still the supreme authority from which all others are derived.>It's a right won by various mass movements in 19th century.how did they "win" that "right"? violence, or the threat thereof. and it can be taken away the same way.>Why should you peasants vote?The origin of nobles and peasants was originally the difference between warrior and civilian. The descendants of the winners of the war became the nobles with their leader being the king.And yes, absolute monarchy is actually preferable to democracy.
>>221234759Heinlein is the chad here. He envisioned a utopia that could arise from the shithole we have now if we only had the good sense to restrict voting and holding office to those with a sense of duty. Verhoeven and all the sniveling liberals that cry fascism about Starship Troopers are just fags.
>>221236570Yeah famously the people declaring war are the ones first into battle.
>>221236451This. War is Christian, trad, and conservative.
>>221236615thats literally the point you fucking idiot
>>221236614> voting and holding office to those with a sense of duty.lol okay Johnny Ricco, quit imagining yourself as one of the people that would actually be in that situation instead of scrubbing toilets
>>221236614Ah yes, all those authoritarian utopias. Move to Japan if you love clean streets so much, lol. You don't have to install a military junta. >>221236560Verhoeven didn't give a shit about the book. We praise him because he made a great movie.
>>221235895Expecting him to have a point is literally fascism.
>>221236508we souldn't have been in that war doing the kikes dirty work for them to begin with, but once we committed, we should have NOT put boots on the ground. What we should have done was nuke every man woman and child to dust, teach them that they CANNOT DEFY AMERICA. Also should have nuked Jerusalem just to put the kikes in their place.
>>221236618Trad yes. Christian no. Kikestianity has always been about defanging the White man with faggoty ass "turn the other cheek" "redemption" "forgiveness" and other claptrap. Same with "conservatism" which is just "conserving" the previous generation's liberalism.
>>221236310>durango screencap on 4chankino.
>>221236750Israel is America’s friend. America is Judeo-Christian. Always has been. Always will be. Only demons and the Freemasons say otherwise.
>>221234499when you finally realize that every story is about toxic masculinity and late stage capitalism you will be media literate.
>>221236822How's the weather in Tel-Aviv, Moishe?
>>221236750Israel’s goal is to make Muslim countries look bad you retard.
>>221236914>make Muslim countries look badI guess 1400 years of conquest and invasions into christian lands made them look cool to you, Ivan.
>>221235204We dont need to provide evidence of the obvious. If you just had even a shred of media literacy you'd see it for yourself.
>>221234613First watch through is wanting to be like Don.Second watch is just pity for him, realising he's a perpetual fuck up con man
>>221236704>authoritarianThe world of ST is still a democracy, it just has a stricter requirement for voting eligibility than being born and turning 18. There are plenty of selfish retards that vote just because they want something, but have never had to be in a position where government policies actually affect them.
>>221236938That’s precisely why a white backed Jew nation makes them (Muslims) seethe.
>>221234499When I first watched the Soparanos I would self insert as an exchange student taking the place of A.J. so that I would live in the house and meet all the cast. I would "daydream" often about the situations and events in the show and how I would respond to them. I'd have wild fantasies giving advice to Tony and how he at first would reject my council but through continued conversations we would strike up a genuine friendship of mutual respect and admiration for each other and he'd take me as an advisor for his dealings. Later on I'd eventually romance his daughter and we'd marry and so on. When I watched it all I forgot about this experience but a few years later when I was older and rewatched the show it all came back to me and I had to actively stop myself from self inserting all the time. Eventually I stopped doing so but every time I see the show mentioned anywhere it takes me back and I'm reminded of everything. There's still a small part of me that dreams the dreams of being a part of the Soprano family to this day.
>>221235083Theyre the same the "people" that have meltdown if you criticize a female characther
>>221237001Reading this made me cringe so hard I became a raisin’s anus
>>221237001So based, this is actually what writers do with their characters
>>221237222No, good writers are born good so they don’t need to do this. When "writers" self insert as their characters it all devolves into fan fiction tier bullshit >>221237114yeah I get it
>>221237306The only difference between fan fiction tier bullshit and good writing is the writer being discerning enough to know when an idea is stupid
>>221236317Right but you idiots straight up think i invented it
>>221236914all semites are our enemies. both jew and muslim. we need to throw off our shackles of Rabbi Yeshua and embrace OUR White Gods again.
>>221234499To be fair, Breaking Bad goes out of its way to make Walter White “look cool” doing “badass” stuff and even tries to make him “appear morally good” by having him not want to sell to kids (despite drug dealers in real life not giving a shit) because the showrunners didn’t want White to look evil. It is also why the final villains of the show are evil Nazis since killing Nazis is considered good by Americans. The fact that Vince Gilligan and Bryan Cranston can’t grasp (or more likely pretend to not grasp) why normies side with Walter over his wife shows how they forgot their own subliminal programming.
>>221234674>mostlyit's completely a buzzword and has no meaning. As soon as I hear someone mention media literacy without a hint of irony, I know I can safely ignore everything that comes afterward. The person at best has no idea what they're talking about, but most of the time they're pushing a bad agenda.
>>221235204I seem to remember just a few years ago, the internet's favorite presidential candidate was a killer asteroid that would wipe out the human race.
back when leftards had all the institutions all the academics would claim star wars was an evil crypto fascist hero worship story
>>221234759>this perfect society that has no crime or discrimination or incompetence must be wrong!>I know, I'll use my control of the setting to add schizo shit, white wash the main character and get rid of their mechanized suits so I can gorepost the whole movieIf you met Verhoeven on this board your response would be 'meds, now' and you know it.
>>221234499>DUDE IRONY POISONING LMAO!
>>221234613>makes a bunch of moneyWow what a loser>fucks a bunch of hot young womenDude's a total LOSER>get a promotion for landing a big clientLoser! Loser!>doesnt die for israel by assuming the identity of his commanding officer to come home and make white childrenWow what a fuckin' loser lol.

>>221235371Death of the author
I've never met a fascist that didn't love starship troopers.
>>221234674I think media literacy is a good concept. Makes sense, describes a real phenomena. As a term, I don't think it deserves the scorn it gets just because retarded leftists misuse it; to them media literacy just means interpreting literally everything from a leftist lens, which ironically flies in the face of its actual meaning.Leftists are the kind of people who will advocate for a total governmental surveillance & censorship panopticon, and then call YOU an authoritarian for complaining about it, but that doesn't mean the word "authoritarian" is meaningless, or null as a concept. Just because words have no meaning to leftist retards outside of their immediate propaganda utility doesn't mean the words they use are nonsensical, it just means the the people who use the words nonsensically are stupid.Being "media literate" just means being able to accurately decipher the intent of media. That's it. Leftists trying to twist it so that it means "finding propaganda under every rock" are wrong.
>>221239493You've never met a Fascist.
>>221239493You think anyone who doesn't have HIV is a fascist.
>>221239262All gay. All dead. None even claim to be the creator of the universe. None even claim to be all-powerful, all-knowing, or all-loving. Some "gods" you got there. LOL
>>221235993>>221236159It's really cute when the redditor knows he lacks updoot power on this site and feels threatened.
>>221234499mad men is a hedonism show disguised as post-modern critique of the 60s
>>221239587Fascist always have aids cause they're fags but too shy to get prep.
>>221239657You're bragging about how you get medicated so that you're able to survive getting fucked in the ass?
Right-wingers have had their brains broken by the revelation that their entire worldview was just a front for bigotry and pedophilia and they were just too stupid to see it
>>221239597If your God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-loving, then why does He allow sadistic cruelty and suffering to torment innocents all day long?
>>221239817Now THIS is "media literacy."
>>221239817>the current influence of liberals
>>221239817>>2212399900 arguments made on either side just moralfag appeals to populist outrage
>>221239990
>>221240019>and democrats had nothing to do with itWasn't Trump a Democrat at the time? Epstein always was. And all the other names I've seen mentioned are Dem or Dem adjacent. Bill Clinton is all over those files and he was top Democrat for two terms. But lefties are just as quiet about those as they were about Pizzagate, coyote people smugglers, Biden groping kids, "queer" activists targeting schools, muslim rape gangs in the UK... It's almost as if they don't actually care about the kids and just want to get Trump by any means necessary because borders are racist or some shit.
>>221239834Because he didn't build a theme park where everybody should have a fun time, he created a world that makes sense. You can't have a world that makes sense and a world where nothing bad can happen.
>>221240281>You can't have a world that makes sense and a world where nothing bad can happen.An all-powerful being could create anything.
>>221234499I've not read any other post, but I assume not a single person has given the correct answer, so here it is: you know if you're media literate if you watch a scene, come to a conclusion of what it's telling you, and if it's a really shit show/film then they tell you exactly what they were implying in the very next line, both validating your already self-formed understanding AND insulting you at the same time for thinking you would've been too stupid to get it without the hamfisted explanation.It's the media equivalent of this joke>there's two types of people in the world; those who can extrapolate from incomplete data...
>>221235231>endless cycle of wars perpetrated by those in power to maintain that powerThat's our existence now.
>want to say something about mad men>click bottom>the exact same huma/bot siscourse about HECKIN POLITICS that has probably been exchanged 30,000 times since this morning across the webAnyways Don got a pretty good ending compared to Walter and Tony. And it’s not fair to compare him to two actual murdering psychos. Dons a big pussy and never real tries to assert otherwise.
>>221234499When you realize that all media is simply a part of the same machine designed to keep you stupid and complacently accepting your programming.
I don't know I am meta and can't ignore that the people that make media are evil pedophile parasites and the bad guys in all of their stories the National Socialists were actually the heroes.
>>221240405But He created this. What did you create?
>>221235231nigga the bugs had already conquered multiple planets. You think they cant try for one more?
>>221235798thats ALL of human history, dumbfuck lmao
>>221240905>But He created this.Source?Can you prove I didn't create the universe in my mind, and you're not a figment of my imagination?If He created this world full of suffering and misery then He is not all-loving. You don't torture innocent people that you love. If you are all-knowing then you see their pain, and if you are all-powerful then you stop the pain.
>>221234518>everything is a lé arguementfuck off retard
>>221239222it wasn't made for ugly incels like you, faggot
>>221241293>>But He created this.>Source?He told us so through His prophets. The prophecies were written down and preserved for us to read today.>Can you prove I didn't create the universe in my mind, and you're not a figment of my imagination?I nor anybody can "prove" anything to anybody who is willing to retreat all the way to solipsism in order to appeal to a sense of "reasonable" doubt.>If He created this world full of suffering and misery then He is not all-loving.Source?>You don't torture innocent people that you love.Source?>If you are all-knowing then you see their painAgreed>and if you are all-powerful then you stop the pain.Source?How can you ever hope to prove any of these assertions?
>>221241407>The prophecies were written downSo were lots of texts that contradict your Bible. Why believe one and not the other? Do you think it's a coincidence that you happened to be raised in a culture that encourages belief in the thing you blindly believe?>How can you ever hope to prove any of these assertions?My assertions are logically self-evident. You don't torture innocent people that you love, because the two concepts are incompatible by definition. A father that stands by and watches his child suffer and die is not a loving father. We might hurt the ones we love out of ignorance, but we're not all-knowing.The God that you claim is real is logically inconsistent. You may as well claim you have a water heater that turns water to ice.
I really need to watch Mad Men to get some context, because all I know about Don Draper is that he's an advertising dude, but I'm always seeing people online talk about him like he's the fucking Antichrist.
>>221241315Fuck off libtroon
