But that is a correct opinion. E.mo.tion is objectively one of the best pop albums ever. Definitely of the 2010s.

Yeah no but that’s exactly what I meant.

It’s getting rarer and rarer to see “true” right wing patriots. They are all turning into atlanticists (or us empire-cists).

The idea of “patriotism” is an American cultural export. People loved their countries before, chuds are “patriotic”. This wave flagging hand in chest national anthem singing thing is not “patriotism”, it’s Americanism.

So yeah, these chuds are “patriotic”, as in they are fully absorbed into american cultural exports and basically act like American chuds in every way.

Like others my favorites change a lot, but having just rewatched Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood… Dude what an awesome show. Always cry at least 5 times watching it. For sure deserving of a fixed spot on any top 10s.

And one I haven’t seen anyone mention: Andor. The best Star Wars anything ever.

Never felt any emotional attachment to the country I was born in.

It always felt really weird to “be a national”. Like for it to matter at all.

You don’t control where you’re born. I always felt it made more sense to create an attachment to things you develop a taste for.

And it felt like mass scale Stockholm syndrome for people to be so in love with the place they were born in.

This made me violently reject my native country when I went through an angry teenager phase. Now I appreciate it. But just like I appreciate any other country or thing.

After many struggle sessions it was decided Unity was a CIA psyop.

Heyo fellow Nolan hater

Of course. But I don’t think that’s the “purpose” of it. It’s good to remember that languages don’t have anything purposeful about them at all. Any characteristic in a language has use, but no purpose.

Like living beings languages evolve, and mutate, and useful traits stay behind and spread and less useful ones are forgotten.

Gender might sometimes be useful in those situations, but I would be skeptical it’s the main reason it appeared and kept being used.

That only works if they have different genders. Which is often not the case in most gendered languages.

“Bob sacó su manzana de la caja y la dejó caer.”

Bob took his female apple out of his female box and let it (female) fall

Also from my experience growing and going to school in a gender language (not Spanish btw), grammar classes are way more intense and thorough than for something like English. Most people don’t really have grammar classes in English speaking countries, while I studied it until the last year of high school…

More complex grammar certainly makes it more difficult to learn, even for native speakers.

What’s convenient about it? I genuinely see no benefits, as a native speaker of a gendered language.

“They still declared war” like that’s the fucking problem?

The US never declared war on Iraq. And “all states are evil” is a useless position.

But why would the same amounts of credits be worth more just because they are from the republic…?

Idk I’ve seen worse movies

Declaring war? That’s where you draw the line? 😂

So no harm no foul in the invasion of Iraq I guess

Most non-chud euros I see really quickly understood that was a plot by Israel and the US to punish Sanchez 🤷‍♂️

I didn’t read that article (naturally), but “defend” makes me think of European paranoia about Russia, not immigration.

The immigration talks are progressing more towards “yeah well we tried being “nice” and letting the poor people in, but seems like we’ll have to resign to ethnic displacements and fascism again oops”.

Ofc how could I forget the age old tradition started by Caesar against the Gauls.

What even are European values? Colonizing? 😂

Yeah but the welfare state has been dismantled since Reagan. Cold War era Nordics is where the welfare state truly peaked.

Is Marx a Trotskyist? 🤔
